1:10. F stops from 3.5 to f22 in full stops? It has no detents so there are an infinite number of stops between wide open and f22, not just full stops.
I suppose it is a matter of terminology - yes you can set an infinite number - my reference, that should be better communicated then, is that is is denoted /indicated as full stops (more like half a stop from f3.5 to f4 also!), but is stepless or declicked (also not technically the correct term, but lens people would understand). The problem with setting the in-between aperture stops is, is that you cannot reliably set something more accurately than more or less half a stop, so even of you could do all the possible fractions, it is unlikely you will be able to know that you set it...., yet, shooting most films, with the latitude available, it would not matter. Thanks for your input, next time saying not clicked/denoted would be more accurate, so will make a note of that.
Just copped this camera and excited to run a roll thru it!
I enjoy mine, I think you will too
I can't help but think these shots would've looked so much more dramatic and moody if Fomapan 400 was used instead, the flatness of kentmere just doesn't do it for me, but there were definitely some keepers on that roll! Another great vid Danie! Keep them coming 👏🏻
Thanks - yes, I agree with you. One has to work the film quite hard to get nice contrast, although the mid-tones are quite smooth. The Kentmere 100 is lovely, especially in 120, but instead of the 400, I would also lean to Delta 400 or even HP5 in future. I haven't tried Fomapan yet, but will soon. Thanks for checking in, much appreciated!
I got one at my birthday, from my neighbour,i replaced the light seals with New ones,and right now shooting a test Film, to See, if everything works. (I hope it does.)
If it does work, you will have fun! Luckily even a rudimentary form of light seal replacement can be very effective.
your square compositions are awesome
Thanks so much! It is actually something I am not that comfortable with, weirdly enough.
@@danienelphoto dont worry, be happy
@@chriscard6544 lol, indeed.
Has this been tested for radiation?
No, but as far as I know the Takumar 55mm was the last to use Thorium glass.
That lens seems to be pretty sharp for a focus free lens. Of course, I'm only seeing this on video. But that camera has some capabilities.
100% man, I am really stoked. On the scans - medium res, not ultra high res, I can't even pick up aberrations. On a high res, I think you probably will, but even coma and all that, negligible or at least not visible in the current scan size. As long as your scenes are pretty wide, and in the infinity range, this camera delivers. Closer up, I presume you will have more issues.
You used to be able to get Tudor film, here in the UK. It was often a freebie given away when you had a film developed, so that it cunningly encouraged you to use their services again. I think it vanished with the advent of digital. Great shots, in any case.
Thank you very much for your comment, and checking out the video. Yes, you used to get it here too, in fact, I have an unopened box of 110 format Tudor XL still :). It was never considered great film, though.
wow very nice results from that camera!
I know, right? Apart from the composition, it was all camera. I was very surprised as well.
Howdy. I'm here after reading your interchange with The 120ist. I am also a lover of vintage glass. (Shhhh, don't tell anyone!) I had this lens 30-years ago when I was an AE-1 shooter. It is nearly a perfect focal range for 35mm photography. (I sometimes wished for 28mm, though...) I found it to be acceptably sharp for my work (mostly shooting concerts in small venues, some outdoor photography, and my family of course), especially stopped down a little. If I was still shooting Canon film cameras, this would be in my kit. My favorite Canon lens of all time was the 50mm f/1.4 SSC in the old FD mount. I still have one on the shelf and that makes me think I need to take it for a walk with the Sony A7Sii. Nice review. Well done.
Thank you for your kind comment. It is so funny, 30 years ago when I was about to go to uni for my photography degree, these were just lenses! Lol, now its vintage. I suppose I am too! I didn't really care too.much about 35mm, as I was shooting Mamiya 645 almost exclusively for my pro work till 2006, so the 35mm stuff was aleays an afterthought, so I missed out on learning about Canon lenses a lot, those days. It was basically just "get a decent zoom for the odd event things I did, and bands too! That 50mm 1.4 SSC is legendary, even though I don't have yet.
such beautiful shots! thanks for sharing :D
Thank you and so much for checking out the video.
Great video Danie👍🏻 I would have taken a sizeable bet against those results😉😂
@@antonroland Thanks man, me too!
❤
:)
I have this camera along with a ton of other Pentax k mount cameras including MX, LX, k1000, Super Program, KX etc etc... It was my moms camera... this thing sat in a damp garage for 30 years before i found it. threw some batteries in it and it came right back to life. and it just works... prob never serviced, shutter is accurate, everything worked... timer, meter is accurate, and its just one of those cameras that you can always count on being reliable... its everything you need, and nothing you don't. It takes Pentax glass, tho the rikenon 50 f2 is actually good.. sharper even than my pentax 50 1.4s to my suprise.. It has slightly less slow shutter speeds, but is better that the k1000 in my opinion and can be had for practically nothing.. its worth twice as much with portra 800 in it... great alternative to learn on and get into 35mm photography for like 40$
Exactly! I am a K1000 fan no doubt, but I love the Ricoh, and is definitely an easier tool to use. I love the simplicity, but it is simple in a way that is efficient. I am about to start testing a Novoflex 400mm with PK mount, and I will be using the Ricoh, rather than the K1000.
If you are masking it, would you just use some black tape on the insde?
Outside over the "gaps" works easier :). I have since replaced the seals. Easy to do.
Your videos are so much under rated😢
Thank you, that is very kind!
I wanna use it with Sony A 6000. Is it worthy?
Yes! (Disclaimer: it will always be an opinion as it is a subjective thing)..., but yes!
@@danienelphoto is it widely available? Can I find these easily? And what's about the fd 20mm f/2.8 ?? I'm interested in Portrait, landscape and real estate photography.
Yes, fairly avaialble. You will see in the description there are Ebay links. It depends where you are in the world, I suppose! I haven't used the 20mm F2.8 myself, but most of the FD lenses are great quality. A 20mm is great for real estate and landscapes, amd the 85mm is perfect for portraits. You can successfully use it for real estate and landscape compositions that is more cropped too.
@@danienelphoto oh! Thank you 😊 I am from Bangladesh. But I'll soon move to Romania for bachelor's study. There I wanna start professional photography beside my study. So, if it is possible, I'll buy these from there. I am currently using Samsung WB1100F for amateur birding, landscape, potrait shots 😊
Great stuff, man. I have been a pro photographer for 24 years and if I can dio it, anyone can! All the best with your move to Romania. Greetings from South Africa
Beautifully timed video, thanks! One coming my way in the next month or so…
Me thinks you will enjoy it!
I have this lens... It is not parfocal at all.... The canon groups on FB will also state the very same that its not parfocal.. Why its even mentioned is absurd and misleading
Not the intention to mislead..., especially since I am not selling or promoting it. There are many online forums where this is suggested and thus I examined it, and you can see as well what my conclusion was. However, to correct your mistaken assumption, this is in fact a discussion that was had on FB groups where I participated in, and true to form to discussions like these, some claimed it was enthusiastically, and some held your view, enthusiastically. A quick intermet search would show this is in fact a topic of discussion, with this particular article claiming it is parfocal to 85mm. www.cined.com/ancient-optics-canon-fd-35-105mm-f-3-5-multi-format-zoom-introduced/ Or www.flickr.com/groups/canonfd/discuss/72157634551287530/ Or www.photo.net/forums/topic/395842-canon-fd-35-105mm-f35-lens-scales-interpretation/ And www.canonclassics.com/canon-nfd-35-105mm-f3.5/10-110/ There are scores more, but I think you should catch my drift. Absurd is a strong sentiment, and given the amount of discussion on it, probably ill-informed. You seem to also just be giving your opinion (an inalienable right, so please do!), but if indeed mine struck you as such, my apologies for causing you displeasure. I (sincerely) hope you were able to watch a video with more edifying results afters :). Thanks for checking out my review anyways and bothering to engage.
I have this lens and it’s parfocal on my Blackmagic 6k with Fd to L adapter so I don’t know.
The concensus I seem to be seeing is that it is parfocal to 85mm from 35mm... in my experience it was close, but not all the way - it could be a calibration issue on mine? I am not a camera technician, so cannot say for sure.
I use that lens on my canon FT QL camera
It is a good match, as it especially era specific.
Thanks for the tips on composition that you've mixed in with the technical information on the lens. That was intelligent commentary. Cheers.
Thank you for watching, Eddy, and I am glad you enjoyed that! I am more passionate about that than gear, actually.
Keep going man you are awesome!!!!!
Thank you for the encouragement! It is always needed :)
I love so much this camera
I do too! Such good value
Great video & beautiful shots using Kodak Retina Ia i’m big fan of them, amazing quality & design indeed! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you very much for checking out the video. Yes, real "they don't make 'em like they used to" example!
Nice video! Thanks a lot. Got this lens with the OM-1 I just bought. The entire set, including this lens, is almost brand new. Really eager to test it, both on the OM-1 and on my digital Sony's.
I am keen to get an OM at some point, and that sounds like a great set you have. I think you will enjoy the Tokina, it really is a neat little lens.
@danienelphoto I did get very lucky. A cool large vintage camera case, with inside it: an OM-1 body with f1.8 50mm kit lens and an original Olympus leather casing, the Tokina lens from your video, a flasher, a 90s point-and-shoot camera and two film rolls. Booklets for everything included, everything in minty mint condition. It all feels semi-unused. Price: 75 euro. Not bad at all. Hope you'll have a similar score with your future OM!
That is a good haul for 75E!
I just picked one of these up at an antique mall for $25. Very smooth. It’s on my film camera, so I will need to finish the roll before I know how it shoots.
That is a good price. I used mine again yesterday to test a Canon AL-1
@@danienelphoto - Brilliant! Will you be posting the results here or another platform by any chance?
Oh, very much! I just finished the roll - Kentmere Pan 400 - and I used that lens to shoot some still life shots in studio - also using its macro feature...
I recently picked up a pair of lenses that were labeled as Vivitar lenses, but they were both made for Vivitar by Tokina. 1) 135mm f2.8, 15 blade vertion. A really nice lens. The ability to always have round bokeh balls it=s super cool. And the bokeh of the lens is very nice. Its also and very sharp lens, even at 2.8 and the colors and contrast are very strong and punchy. The other is a Auto Zoom Vivitar 35mm-105mm f3.5. This one I bought because I have never tried a vintage zoom before and this one was priced right. It turns out that this was also a great buy. I was blown away with how sharp it was. I thought it was gonna be a blurry mess. Its sharp across the focal range, the colors are very similar to the 135 lens, strong and punchy. Contrast is a little less strong, but still good and very useable. It has a "Close Focus" feature that is very interesting to use across the focal range.So it has 4 rings, focus, closer focus feature, zoom and aperture. Tokina did a great job with both these lenses!
It sounds like you made a good buy! As you can see, I was very impressed by this little lens. Tokina made lenses for some really popular systems, so they must've known what they are doing!
Great job soos altyd Danie en dit raak net beter! Net jammer van die swaar Canon flavour…jy moet darem bietjie Pentax inbring jong🤪🤪
Baie dankie, Anton! Haha... jy is reg. Ek kort so paar Takumars! Ek ogie op 35mm, 24mm... daar is wel n PK mount Novoflex video oppad!

A few street blocks ahead of Kodak’s No 1 Autographic…1/25 and 1/50…well, kind of🤪
Totally. The Autographic is a neat kit. If there wasn't so many lenses I wanted instead...
Great video and I noticed the different music styles you played in the background to compliment the visuals.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the great review. I like this lens too. I use it more often than the amazing 85mm 1.2L, as it is much lighter and the performance is solid. Also, it gives me a little more of that vintage look, especially wide open, while the 85mm 1.2 delivers quite a perfect, modern look.
...and manually focsing at f1.2 is tricky on the run sometimes!
@@danienelphoto absolutely!
Had an intersting chat to the camera repair guy here... the problem with super fast lenses is that in order to get it tack sharp, the lens develops chromatic aberrations, and to get rid of that, you sacrifice sharpness wide open.
@@danienelphoto yes, that’s interesting. I noticed that just a very minimal focusing change can change the appearance of longitudinal chromatic aberrations a lot. You might be right about sacrificing a bit of sharpness when needed. I will try to play with this aspect again.
It is hard to decide which I prefer to keep, sharpness or LCA!
Ek het seker 30 vintage lense wat ek gebruik vir my Sony. Ek weier om duisende uit te haal vir n moderne lens. My opinie is dat die ouer lense meer karakter het en verby die " o jou kwaliteit van foto moet flymskerp wees". En watter beter plek as die goeie ou Stellenbosch om te wys wat hulle kan doen. So jou cheap vintage glass is puik. Dankie vir die "upload". Cheers uit Oregon.
Baie dankie. Ja, my versameling groei ook elke dag voel dit my! Karakter is die regte woord, ek stem. Baie dankie dat jy ingeloer het, en als wat mooi is daar in Oregon (dis mooi wêreld daai hoor ek).
Thank you so, much for this video. I really enjoyed it and long forward to using my own camera I just found. I also enjoyed your photos, thank you for sharing them with us. God Bless
Thank you for taking time to watch it! Enjoy the camera. God Bless you too.
When you used Kodak 200 were you able to find 45 mm film? All I can find is 35.
It is 35mm film this camera uses. The 45mm is the lens's focal length. 45mm film is not a format I am aware off :) Kodak Gold is available in 135 (aka 35mm) and 120 format (for medium format cameras)

I did not know about the Nikon EM. White label manufacturing is the way most manufacturers stay afloat, in lots of industries.
Nice one bru 🇿🇦
Shot, bru!
I have a Voigtlander Bessa from the 30s (I believe) that is very capable of producing good images. Not as tack sharp as my Rolleiflex, but very pleasing. EDIT: but I should also mention it's very easy to make mistakes on these cameras :)
I do believe it is quite reasonable to expect good images, if your camera is in good condition. If the bellows are good and the lens clear, then one must just take care that the front "standard" is parralell to the film plane, and it should be ok. Also, the iris and shutter can give issues.
I recently had a similar outing with a Kodak Autograph. With my recent vintage Pentax 35mm drive I stepped away from MF for a while… I found the Autograph great fun to play with and I really should burn another roll or two before writing her off…bellows light leaks were a real issue… You make me wanna go scratch for a 400 ISO roll of 120…👍🏻
Light leaks in folders are unfortunately a big issue, especially if the are almost a century old. I think you should get that 120 into the Autograph and de-Pentaxify a bit!
@@danienelphotoDe-Pentaxify? 😂 Dude…Gaan was jou mond uit!!🤪😂😂 But yes, f/stops with the Autograph amounted to great amounts of thumb-sucking and 3 or so highly unreliable shutter speeds made life interesting.
Yes, considering the margins allowed for error and what tech they had to their disposal, it is still impressive, and films of that era were not all that forgiving.
I'm also using this lens on the EOS R50, I love the old FD lenses. Great video, thanks bro :)
Thank you, Zax! I love them too. I spent some time with my family today in a park, and also had another FD on my R6. (85mm 1.8). But, yes, this lens I discuss here is great. Thank you for checking out my video.
This is a great lens. I would never have tried it if it had not come bundled with a 58 f1.4 that I wanted. I think the image quality from the 50 f2 is better than that of the much-touted 58.
I haven't used the 58, but as you could tell, I also really like the lens! Thanks for checking out the video.
I found this camera at a garage sale it’s my first film camera!! when I press the shutter button is does no fire do you have any advice i’ve been trying to search it up but I can’t find anything
Congrats! If you have wound on the film lever, then the shutter is cocked. You have to then pull the lever back about 30 deg, the lightmeter will switch on and the shutter should work, if the camera is in working condition.
"Coma and halo (spherical aberrations)" are thing related to optical design (curvature, type of glass used, etc.). The multicoat only influences the overall contrast (backlit scenes), colors, certain reflections and the level of light transmission
Thank you :)
Any idea if the lens has a SC?
You can't take a bad image with the K1000. Oh sure you can have poor composure, stuff-up the metering, neglect to clean the lens or forget to set the ASA / ISO. Fabulous cameras.
Indeed! It is truly never this camera's fault :)
I just got this camera during my trip in Japan!!!!
Enjoy - it is a really fun camera.
Bought 2 for £8.50 in near mint condition. For video work with my sigma FP, it's a steal.
Wow, that is a bargain. I checked Facebook Marketplace today, and saw a bunch of them for really very little money. Real value, indeed.
i picked one up from a thrift shop years ago and i never knew if it worked, granted i still dont, but i recently took it out of storage, cleaned it, and im hoping it works! fingers crossed! thank ypu for the upload!
Let me know if it does! I have another, more complete video on the camera, and what bbatteries you should get etc is discussed. Thanks for watching.
Change your caption, don't write cheap because it cheap these days then it was too much pricy dream of every middle class families I have vintage camera collection like zenith, pentax, practica, yashica all my father's collection so i better know the values.
Cheap Vintage Glass is the series's name, and it refers to the price relative to new modern lenses. It was indeed expensive then, but as I live in the present, I refer to its price now, but no disrespect to the quality or value of these. I couldn't afford it in the 90s either, so I get your point :).
Bro does camera control work
Yes
