Kamlan 70mm f/1.1 APS-C Portrait Lens (An ALMOST Amazing Lens) | Round Glass Review
The KamLan 70mm f/1.1 APS-C lens, man, there is so much right with it. The aperture markings are accurate, the infinity focus is properly calibrated, the blurry areas can be photographically life-changing, and it’s highly usable on full frame. And then KamLan went and made the front element a stadium. And, yeah, that’s a huge bummer. But taken for what it is, a lovely manual focus lens with a single, if sometimes bothersome, compromise, for the price, which as of this video’s recording is around USD $170 new, the value is incredible. The images that this lens delivers can be absolutely captivating and stunning. There is a whole boatload that this lens does so well and for portrait photogr...

The BEST and WORST Vintage Olympus 28mm Lens, f/2, 2.8, 3.5 Showdown | Round Glass Review
Просмотров 70514 часов назад
Olympus Zuiko OM 28mm lenses were highly regarded in their time. This vide compares the three film-era Zuiko 28mm lenses the Olympus Zuiko 28mm f/2, Olympus Zuiko 28mm f/2.8, and Olympus Zuiko 28mm f/3.5. These lenses carry vastly different prices, so is the price premium on the f/2 worth it? Is the f/3.5 really the worst? Join this channel to get access to perks: ruclips.net/channel/UCrZlzcRfC...

TTArtisan 100mm f/2.8 Bubble Bokeh Lens (More than a Gimmick?) | Round Glass Review
Просмотров 382День назад
The TT Artisan 100mm f/2.8 Bubble Bokeh lens, out of the box, is largely a one-trick pony. What it does is create a specific type of background look with soft-ish portraits that don’t actually meet the aesthetic of soft-focus lenses. It can also be used to create that specific background look with other subjects, but portraits are where this lens is really intended to be used. But here’s the th...

    Very well explained! I’ve had the Dynax 5 version, as one of the differences with the Alpha Sweet II version it doesn’t have the flap in the mirror box. Overall Dynax 5 is great, but sometimes I got this kind of red line (maybe it was a light leak?) on several frames I’ve shoot. I’ve checked the light seals condition of mine, but it turns out all the light seals just in the right place. Do you know where the problem is?

    You’re right. Pentax should have put a clip on the inside of the battery screw to keep it from falling out. After all the research they failed at this implementation.

    • @DavidHancock
      @DavidHancock 9 часов назад

      I've been trying to figure out if it's possible and it would have required a whole battery chamber redesign. I still think it would have been a good idea, but the existing chamber cover needs the screw to be fully removed in order for the cover bit to cover off. Part of me thinks magnets would work, but they might not work well enough to have that be a viable grip, too. So I don't have a better idea, unfortunately.

    It looks cheap and what's the market for a point and shoot half frame camera ? surely that market uses digital or phone cameras which don't cost £400+ would have been better coming out with a device aimed at 35mm Photographers with some advanced features and ability to use vintage lenses

    • @DavidHancock
      @DavidHancock 17 часов назад

      Having done a partial disassembly, it's very well made and definitely worth the cost. As for the market? That's a fair question and I suspect that it's geared toward people who want to use film and cut their costs a bit. People don't make huge prints often anymore, but do share images on phones all the time. Half-frame images are almost indistinguishable from full-frame imaged on most social media platforms, even when viewed on a computer monitor.

As I understand it, the first run, which was large (Europe alone received 10,000 units,) sold out in a day or so with the Japan allotment selling out in minutes (I don't have confirmation that Europe sold out completely, but if not, many of them did sell.)

    • @DavidHancock
      @DavidHancock 2 дня назад

      Lots of possible reasons. I edit for my screen (which is my only choice, since I don't have other screens) and my screen settings are different than others. For instance, I was showing some colleagues some photos at work and my work monitor displayed them with WAY different colors and contrast than my home monitor, which was frustrating. Also, RUclips videos are 4K but these were all shot on 33 megapixels, so there's compression just to downsample to 4K. Then the 4K videos are compressed and optimized for streaming, which further compresses them. And it could also be that my editing style, which does involve a bumping up the shadow detail and dialing back the highlights a lot, looks a lot like HDR.

    Looking at the front of the lens I always thought that the plastic bits are just a simple mask that can be peeled off. It is baffling to me that they went to the trouble of actually cutting off parts of the lens. I can't think of any possible performance benefits that can't be achieved by a simple mask. With that said, I kind of like the squarish bokeh, but it would be nice to have it as an option and not a permanent feature.

    • @DavidHancock
      @DavidHancock 2 дня назад

      I was shocked as well and really thought they were just removable lens hoods. I can see the squarish blurs having some use in some settings, but it's gonna be limited until the lens stops down a bit. Either that, or I don't think creatively enough when it comes to blur. :D

    Good afternoon, I wanted to ask you a question, I currently have a Canon 5D classic to which I adapt several Zuiko lenses (50mm f:1.4, 50mm f:1.8, 75-150 f:4 and 500mm f:8 mirror lens) the truth is that I love the construction that the zuiko have. I am currently interested in taking bird photography and I am using the 500mm f:8 extensively, however on low light days it is impossible to use it with the Canon 5D Classic since above ISO 800 the noise is already annoying and when shooting handheld I should always be about 1/500 or 1/1000 (on sunny days I have achieved good results), for that reason I am considering buying a 300 f:4.5. My question is that I am new to the subject of photography and I do not understand much about the aberrations or lack of detail that may exist between the different telephoto lenses. Among the lenses I have a sigma 28-300 1:3.5-6.3 dg macro with autofocus (more modern construction lens and only 490g in weight), beyond gaining a step of light with the zuiko 300 f:4.5, I will see Any improvement in image quality? I know that they are lenses of very different construction and separated by many years but I would like to know if I win something or if it would be something similar. Thank you very much for your time.

    • @DavidHancock
      @DavidHancock 3 дня назад

      There's not a clear yes or no to that. The lenses are much different ages and also much different designs as well as one being a zoom and one a prime. In general, prime lenses tend to be better at their focal length than zooms of the same age. Also, super zooms (such as your 28-300) do tend to make some compromises in image quality to achieve the extreme zoom range. So the best answer I can give is that there are times this lens would be a better choice and there are other times when the Sigma would be better choice. What times those are depends on a lot of factors such as light, subject type, subject distance, and so forth.

Pity I needed the 800 speed, but the results are still ok. Might go for HP5 for the next shoot though, let's see (8 more rolls to develop tomorrow). Great vid!

    A very good description of the Minolta X370 because I own one. I bought my Minolta X370 as my first 35mm camera in 1985, which I followed with the Minolta X700 6 months later and finally 6 months after I bought my last Minolta X570. I used them a lot, you can see the usage on the metal casing with all kind of scratches. There are still in good condition to be use. Here is a tip to keep your camera dry. All these little package you get from suitcases to keep inside dry, I throwed them in my camera bags. That work for me for last 40 years.
