Vintage Lenses for Sony Part 3

[@ptdlg8698]

As i started getting into Vintage Lenses in 2019 i really had a hard time finding informative AND enjoyable youtubevideos about it. I can say you and your Gf are very relaxing to listen to - also you totally point out the infos i am searching for! Flares and Character is what i am searching for in order to get an advantage over all these instagramers having the same look over and over again - thats why i keep searching for unique lenses and your videos are helping while doing so. Keep up the good work! Really curious with which lenses u come up with next! Greetings from italy

[@AustinBlackvideo]

So glad you’ve enjoyed the channel! Hopefully I can get my hands on some more vintage glass!

[@MatiasBertuzziPH]

That Pentax bokeh is stunning. Nice job! Really enjoyed this video

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Loved it! One of my favorites. I think i prefer it to the canon fd 50 1.4

[@xBenjourx]

If you’re a fan of that check out the Pentax K 55 f/1.8. Can be had cheaply and has a beautifully characteristic bokeh, some CA but sharp even wide open. 👍👍

[@toneyclayton485]

I have that lens. It has the "character " of a Canon lens..very beautiful and inexpensive

[@j_aaron116]

Do you know what adapter is used?

[@gh7213]

Just picked up a Sony adapter for my dad's old Minolta 50mm 1.7 and about 20 filters. Should be interesting.

[@AustinBlackvideo]

That's awesome! Your getting started down that rabbit hole lol

[@gitithadani]

I bought my first canon slr QTB with a 50mm 1.4 lens for 7-8$ in a flea market in Paris in 1983. It was working till I shifted to the digital mirrorless. The fl lenses use the same mount as the later FDn & FDn lenses but their character and construction is different. Something special about the bokeh - 3d & if one wants more contrast just bring down the highlights a little. The lenses are more solid, beautiful construction & focus & aperture dials work beautifully. The aperture dials are usually in front of the lenses which I prefer vis a vis the later fdn lenses which have more contrast. The 35/2.5 & 135/2.5 primes I think you would appreciate too. I love both the takumar & jupiter9 lenses - there is a glow - special rendering & personally I find it very limiting to work only with wide open apertures. Depending on the composition of the frame and the textures of the blurs that one wants - the DOF - distance from subject is what should be the criteria for the chosen aperture. Meanwhile thanks for showing your journeys with these lenses

[@TheAdamHawk]

Actually very surprised you don't have more subs dude. Keep posting. You guys are both really likable and I'm picky with people lol. Great info and I can really learn a lot from hearing you. Ggs man! Ty! Subbed.

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Thanks so much! We are definitely going to keep going in 2020. Hoping to get some Contax Zeiss stuff as well as the Canon FD 85 1.2 next year.

[@alexanderk3081]

I really appreciate these videos sir! I shoot with a sony a7ii and last year I came across a Konica Hexanon AR 135mm F3.5 for 6.99 at a good will in Irving (In the original case and everything!!!) it took me awhile to get comfortable with the lens after I bought the adapter for it. But now....I take crazy doap photos with it!!!! Started searching for more vintage lens and I came across your vids. Plus you're in Ft. Worth! Nice!

[@calvinoyugi5299]

Which adapter did you use

[@MDIOffice]

FL is not a rangefinder lens. It's the second SLR mount developed by Canon, after the Canomatic R SLR mount and before the FD SLR mountt, which was an improvement of the FL, for this reason the FD adapters are good also for FL lenses, with identical film-flange distance of 42mm and the mechanics of the mount being mostly the same The rangefinder lenses have much smaller film-flange distances, not having a mirror between the shutter and the lens (For Canon is 28.8mm same as LTM L39 but with a different 39mm thread).

[@samsen3965]

8:56 Sorry but NO. FL was the earlier version of FF SLR, NOT range finder, and was overlapped at one point and subsequently replaced by FD, in the pre-AF, EOS era. Canon rangefinder lenses are *LMT* not FL.

[@Kthomasritchie]

Awesome video, Austin. Well worth the wait. I personally preferred the Super Tak over the other two.

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Kenny Ritchie interesting to hear since it’s the cheapest! I really enjoyed using it for sure

[@toasty-toast]

I like to use a 50mm f1.8 by Canon and 45mm Minolta f2, however shooting pics of kids is hard since when they are open, it's super hard to get tack sharp eyes.

[@joelsmolenaers1783]

Hey man I got onto you because of WhoisMatt shout out! Now I've been binge watching your channel 😂 . Great intresting content mate! Regards from Australia!

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Whoa! Thanks so much! Crazy to hear someone saying they have “binge watched” content from my channel!

[@qtben17]

But it’s interesting that the zeiss 55 1.8 you used to shoot the video has the 3d pop or swirly bokeh especially when the background are trees and leaves. A modern autofocus lens with a vintage look.

[@strippedlist]

i wish you put link to part 2 and 1....its so hard to see them in your video list

[@serviola3]

Nikon Ais lens are a gem for Sony A7iii. The 85 1.4 ais , the 28mm f2.8 ais and many more. The 105 2.5 Nikon Ais.....

[@AustinBlackvideo]

serviola3 I would really like to try that 85!

[@simeonkolev1231]

If you like the FL 55 1.2 you must try the Minolta Rokkor 58 1.2 ;)

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Simeon Kolev would be awesome to test!

[@_H_2023]

Nice group of radio active lenses. Jupiter 9 isn't although later version could be.

[@Rocanrollnene]

Thanks for your test. An acquaintance of mine recommended the SLR Magic, but in the previous video of yours I was seeing that it is too flare. So, I think if I went for one of these lenses I would go for the Canon.

[@AustinBlackvideo]

That’s awesome! Yeah, I had a couple SLR Magic primes, and they were so so. I much prefer having a library of a bunch of vintage glass

[@MdWahidurRahmanOvi]

Subscribed. Glad I found this channel. I will Definitely share this channel with my friends.

[@DanCThorpe]

What adaptors do you need?

[@villegas24]

people get wet dreams for all new lenses in mirrorless cameras, to me the best part about mirrorless is not having to use first party lenses and instead buying vintage

[@ericmcfarland4228]

Which adapter are you using to adapt these lenses? Thanks for introducing me to these lenses.

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Eric McFarland so it all depends on the mount for the lens. I just google the adapter based on the ebay lens. Here’s an example Pentax Super Takumar: m42-e mount Jupiter 9: m39-e mount Canon 55: fd-e mount

[@nicodehnhardt466]

great video man!

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Nico DehnhaRdt thanks so much!!

[@danli9221]

Really enjoy!

[@pernoren2450]

Beautiful work!! What adapters do you recommend for these lovely lenses? Kind regards from Sweden

[@desertmav8632]

I would like to know that as well

[@tridentroy]

I have Takumar 50mm1.4 is buttery smooth.but I have Jupiter 37A

[@DriversSide]

Really cool video! I’m definitely going to be picking up some vintage lenses to play around with when I get my a7iii! I know that autofocus obviously doesn’t work with these lenses but with the camera still show things like focus peaking and zebras when you are shooting with vintage lenses?

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Yes! It definitely does! I would highly recommend an external monitor if you shoot video though. It’s sometimes difficult to gauge focus on the small LCD

[@DriversSide]

Austin Black sweet! Thanks!!

[@TutorIsland]

very cool video, thank you guys 🙏

[@amuskol]

Can you please test the Vivatar 28 mm 2.5? Thanks for this video, super cool

[@yanchiyu6380]

Great video and interesting content! Keep them coming!

[@therealchickentender]

They should have put a lens hood on the vintage pieces, as done with the Sigma.

[@kristencharlery2376]

What adapter are you using for the lenses?

[@deeyammy783]

Great review, thank you!

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Dee Yammy thanks!!

[@slatana_studio]

Thank you for video!

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Zlatana Lecrivain glad you enjoyed it!

[@churchaudiolife]

What about a series on best M42 lenses or best in a range, say around 28mm around 50mm

[@AustinBlackvideo]

That could be interesting! I was thinking of doing a photo challenge with Kristin for the next vintage lens video

[@art_by_adrian2913]

you guys are amazing theres a lot of knock about not using sony native lenses so this is great encouragement I am about to order the pentax 135 f 3,4 I heard a lot of really good about them did you have to use mount converters?

[@toneyclayton485]

When you purchased, the Jupiter9 85/2.0, which adapter did you use, because everything I'm seeing requires a Leica..or are there others?

[@j_aaron116]

Can you specify what adapters you use to use the vintage lenses, please?

[@SMOKEYoriginalHD]

Very nice review. Might buy some of those in future. Very nice bokeh! Thanks :)

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Nice! I'm really wanting to try the 85 1.2 FD next

[@SMOKEYoriginalHD]

@@AustinBlackvideo That one will be good for a low light photos. I own only one vintage lens (Helios 44-2 58/2). Yet I havent had a chance take some good photo with it. :D No model, no photo.:D So I took a photo of some flower only. lol

[@kaytomascom]

great vid! thanks

[@اسامةفرجداخلعباس]

How you can used with out adapter!?

[@gbee8888]

Great review. The Canon FL was not a rangefinder lens though (8:55), SLR.

[@AustinBlackvideo]

g bee hmmm! Gotcha. So it’s just one of the break lock versions? What’s the difference between the FL and FD mount?

[@gbee8888]

@@AustinBlackvideo Far as I know they are identical except the later FD mount allows wide open aperture metering.

[@josephharmon8606]

I have a converto tamrom 1:2.8 135mm its a screw on lens. Im having a hard time finding out exactly what adapter I need for my sony a73. any suggestions

[@MBoss-ro6qd]

Wait where's part 2 and 1?

[@markkukonkkola1897]

Canon FL mount is SLR not RF mount.

[@footagelviv]

great vid but the lack of stabilization makes me a little sick

[@ashabulkahfi4955]

What lens you use for record that video

[@toriigatedigital]

do you recommend novoflex adapters made in germany?

[@hectorsolis9053]

I liked your videos. im really concerned about the issue of the a7iii with the shutter. I dont know if you can tell us something about it. How to avoid it or if we need to extend the warranty of our a7iii

[@AustinBlackvideo]

It's certainly a little scary. I have not experienced it yet. Knock on wood

[@Noealz]

cool channel : )

[@toriigatedigital]

i recognize that song

[@simeonkolev1231]

Ouuuuu do not focus on the sun like that in video :D you will make a hole in the sensor. If it is not in focus you will get the flare but without heating up the sensor that much.

[@AmieW]

i suggest you to put the lens name on title, cause this is what people look for, a review and result at the same time not just talking blah blah blah about lens build but didnt show any great image come out from the lens subscribed

[@juliangarces9416]

Could you please givd me links to parts 1 and 2?

[@proallday]

What are some lenses I can buy for my Sony A7R Mark I? That being Vintage, Sony, or Canon. With a Budget $300 Dollars and under.

[@ANDROB__]

You can get loads of different nice glass for that budget if you go for vintage. I love my old nikkor 50 1.2 and 85 1.8. Great stuff.

[@solarbody9061]

This is how all reviews should be, great job my friend :) which one would you recommend between the Pentax 50/1.4 & Canon FL 55/1.2?

[@AustinBlackvideo]

I prefer the Canon just for the 1.2 creamy-ness. It also feels larger, more robust, and more rare

[@CBP258]

Great video! Out of curiosity, what action camera is attached?

[@AustinBlackvideo]

It was my old Osmo action!

[@CBP258]

Austin Black thanks!

[@T-Prime848]

What is the right mount for the Canon 55 1.2 If I Want To Buy It And Mount It To A Sony A7

[@sidekickbob7227]

Late reply, but you use a normal fd mount adapter.

[@UmutUslu]

Hey Austin, great stuff man. I was wondering how you are shooting video at f2 in daylight, since i can’t really see an ND on it. Cheers

[@markomihailovic3020]

Crancked shutter tf up

[@Marlon-1224]

What extra adaptor do I need for that canon 55 f1.2?

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Marlon Orellana you’ll need a Canon FD to Sony E mount adapter (some call it NEX)

[@timderidder720]

Hi, what vintage wide angle prime lens would you recommend for a sony a7 III?

[@nicokremers7150]

@tim deridder . Just pick a brand. Canon, Nikon, ....... I myself use Olympus OM lenses on a Sony A7(S). For more info about old lenses, see: www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/

[@moustaphanet]

Thanks 📍📍🔳

[@samsen3965]

If anyone found which is The Best vintage lens, please let me know too!

[@BoboMedia007]

Cant find part 1 & 2??? Help!

[@AustinBlackvideo]

They are there! You just have to go back like a year in my videos LOL 😂

[@alinazang6651]

That Russian lens is gorgeous and so much character too

[@Albanez39]

Get a GH5, or a gimbal, or a glidecam to avoid having Parkinsonian footage :P

[@brett.jordan]

Astral'o Pithecus his stuff is fine, leave the gimbals to amateur KZbin filmmakers
