Leon Knook Lens Idiot
Добавлен 29 мар 2014
Vintage lenses are still usable and I show what you can do with them. I use normal manual prime lenses, enlarger lenses and projector lenses. I use commercial adapters to attach the lenses to my digital full-frame camera. If that doesn't work I design my own adapters and 3D print them. I even made adapters that allow you to use an aperture for a projector lens.
Vintage 35mm camera lens Cosina Cosinon-S 50mm F2.0 on full-frame digital camera
Another 50mm lens that I am not dissatisfied with. What strikes me is that the best results can be achieved wide open. But that's something I have always preferred to create beautiful bokeh. Wide-open in the center fine soft sharpness that is not hard-edged but still sharp. Another lens from the thrift store for 10 euros. This lens will later be included in 1 large comparison test, but this can take years. I haven't stopped collecting yet ;-)

Vintage 35mm camera lens Topcor UV 35mm F3.5 on full-frame digital camera
Просмотров 132 часа назад
Topcor lenses are something special. They have an annoying connection, but with a glued M42 ring a very nice quality appears. With the M42 to NEX helicoid adapter you can get up to 20cm close. Wide open very sharp. This is one of a batch of 6 lenses for only 25 euros. Sometimes you are lucky when people want to get rid of a whole lot of lenses and have no idea about it.

This one had been on my list for a while. I would have liked a new type, but it's also interesting to see how the very old versions perform. This copy is from 1954. So very good! The older types often lack the coatings and the contrast is less. Still, it's nice to work with this lens on my bellows to get extremely close. Real macro is possible. This lens was in a bad condition. Fortunately, I w...

Again a very close approach (only 10cm) to a subject is possible with the helicoid adapter. And then I can perform my style. So get as close as possible and look for those beautiful dreamy bokehs. That is even possible with a 28mm. There is fine sharpness present, a useful lens for me, and yes used what it was not made for. I just can't help it. suno.com/@leonknook

All lens elements were cleaned and it looked like new again. When you see such a beautiful lens, it really seems like fantastic quality will come from it. People who bought this lens at the time must have had the same feeling. Unfortunately, this lens is bad. Poor sharpness, poor color rendering, unmanageable wide-open. Fast forward to the next lens seems the best option. suno.com/@leonknook

it must have been very attractive for manufacturers to make many different lenses with an incredible number of brand names. Another brand that is completely unknown to me. It will be a rebrand of something, Vivitar is mentioned somewhere. Sharpness can be achieved with this lens, but it is not all very comfortable. It is that there is a macro mode that makes up for something. The lens is very s...

This fixed lens comes from an old Edox camera. The lens has a built-in shutter aperture that you want to get rid of. With a few screws I had the lens open and the shutter blades spontaneously fell out. Then it was only a matter of designing an M42 ring and 3D printing. The ring is glued to the lens with superglue. Not a bad lens, but it has a very short, difficult-to-adjust focus. With the well...

I screwed up the aperture when I wanted to get the Fungus and dust off the lens elements. The aperture was also stuck by tough oil. Then I could take pictures wide-open or with just a few stops down. just enough for my style of shooting. A far too long shortest focusing distance of 1.5 meters. Then the sharpness is fine and there are beautiful bokeys. it's a 135mm so you can expect that. I'll k...

This lens was full of fungus and dirt. Still managed to get everything perfectly clean. How different that sometimes turns out. The lens is really like new again. This gun weighs 830 grams which is really heavy to work with. Still, a lot comes back. Very nice sharpness is easy to achieve in all focal lengths. This is a slow lens but it didn't bother me at all. Beautiful bokeys at 200mm, that's ...

If you come across this lens anywhere..., grab it..., and buy it immediately!... What a fantastic quality. I never really paid much attention to Konica but this is really great. Razer sharp wide-open rich colors beautiful bokeh. If everything has to be perfectly sharp, no problem. This lens is now a permanent resident of my camera bag. suno.com/@leonknook
Vintage 35mm camera lens Yashica ML 50mm F1.7 on full-frame digital camera

This lens comes as a surprise in some tests. Then my curiosity always gets triggered, especially since the price of this one is not high. Still, it is a bit disappointing, wide/open at 1.7 the center is not sharp. Of course, if you stop down, everything gets better. I don't know, it's not a bad lens but it just doesn't feel good enough. With some lenses everything is so easy, here you have to w...

And then of course you also want the 50mm 1.7. if you have used the other versions. What I have seen of this lens convinced me that this is also a very fine lens. Still, it was hard work to get the most out of this lens. How easily I could achieve everything with the 40mm 1.8, it was that much more difficult with this lens. To be able to take more special photos, I have worked with a thin macro...

This lens is light and therefore pleasant to walk around with. It is looking for sharpness in certain apertures and focal lengths. This is a very slow lens which I don't like. The long shortest focusing distance is annoying. This lens contains the text Macro, but I couldn't find any macro functions. A mediocre zoom in my opinion. If you don't have another lens, you can live with it. suno.com/@l...

This is really a lens I love. We all know that with a wide/angle lens you get no or not much bokeh at all. You have to be really close. Even at a 30cm distance with this lens, there isn't much bokeh. But it's an M42 so I can use the helicoid adapter. Now a distance of only 10cm is possible. And that's where the magic happens. O my God what a wonderful world you step into. suno.com/@leonknook

If you've used a Canon lens once, you'll want to have them all. Canon still stands out because of the high contrast lenses and excellent sharpness. This zoom lens is very pleasant to use. Not very heavy and there is a real macro function available. This macro function only works on 75mm but that is not a problem. There is a separate focus ring for macro that focuses very quickly. Without this m...

I also have an adapted copy of this lens It’s quite nice, for black and white photography like most Schneider lenses. It’s a simple triplet design, which gives it a lot of vintage character.
Which Petri - Sony E Mount adapter did you use?
The Pentax K mount Fotga PK-NEX
The images seem OK from this lens.
Thanks, Leon.
Very interesting lens and beautiful pics, thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Every day new stuff
This lens is as good as described on this video for normal photography too. I'd be interesting to compare the close-up capabilities of this lens with different version of the 55mm/f3.5, f/2.8 Nikkors.
recently I grabbed that lens from the shelf. I'd forgotten hoe nice to use those old manual Nikkors were ... 🦘
If you want nice, go Olympus - I dumped all my Leica glass and cameras and now shoot through beautiful Zuiko lenses.
@@LaughingStock_back in film Daze i Loved the old Olympus Zuiko lenses
that product was made in Hong Kong in 1970s. The factory had been long closed.
Thanks for the reply. Do you know the name of the factory? Did you work there yourself?
@@leonknook_Lens_Idiot The factory was located in Quarry Bay. The name was Boyuen ( literally in Chinese means treasure sources) I worked there for summer job in 1975. I witnessed skilled technicians worked on machines grinding optics. They taught me nothing as if keeping some secrets. the factory was a manufacturer of telescopes, slides projectors, also under licensed to supply products for Pentax. that is all i know, only a small piece of history of Hong Kong industry. thankful to you for holding a physical piece of history which illuminate our glorious past. thank a lot!
Ma è un AI? È inquietante. 😱
Sì, è l'intelligenza artificiale. Ma non ho idea di come suoni a qualcuno che parla davvero la lingua. Se è davvero terribile, lo porterò via.
@@leonknook_Lens_Idiot il contenuto è interessante. La voce a volte suona strana, accenti sbagliati per esempio. Ma sono le voci che ormai molti usano. Magari miglioreranno col tempo. È inquietante la persona che muove le labbra in italiano. Forse meglio lasciare l'originale ma con l'audio in italiano come il doppiaggio al cinema.

More beautiful images. Today's zooms are quite something, but I still prefer a prime macro. Hope you get your A7R2 soon. I have the A7R3, bought in 2019. Very nice camera. If you can skip R2 and go for the R3, I'd recommend it. It's a massive improvement in many ways. Though I believe it has the same excellent sensor.
Thanks! Not long ago the 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD came out. That's actually the closest thing if you really want to use just 1 lens. Photographers rave about this lens. I didn't know it was possible.
Thanks! Nice to hear someone is inspired by me. The green light bulb is a glass dome hanging upside down. An object that has been photographed many times 😊
Nikon shooter here. So many great shots here. I especially love the green lightbulb shot! Now inspired to break out my old glass on my mirrorless.
Thank you very much!
pretty little pix, successful project based on your shots.

Thank you! Nice to read that there are more people who see and appreciate the little things in nature. I'm saving up for the Sony A7r2. That's going to take a long time😊
What does one cost, American dollars, where you live? I have to admit you live is a very beautiful aera. I live across the world, near Los Angeles, California. Quite a difference in scenery from your area. But we do have our lovely sites to photograph.
@@bondgabebond4907 The lens is not sold separately, it is always attached to an old rangefinder camera. There must be quite a few of them in the world. I got this one from a local thrift store for 10 bucks. But as I said, you still have to do some work to get it on your digital camera. My surroundings are not particularly beautiful. Almost all of these photos were taken in our wild garden. These places can be found all over the world, it is a matter of looking at very small things. Sometimes I see things through the lens that I do not expect at all, so it is also a matter of trying.
I love your nature photos. Just ran into your site. I love to take pictures of strange vegetation, autumn leaves, newly formed blossoms, birds, my family and stuff in general. My main love is the Sony A7R3, but that is moving slightly aside for my real love, the a6700. I came from a film background starting in the 70s with a Pentax Spotmatic F. It was love of photography from that point on.
Beautiful.
Nice video! I have the Ennalyt Macro 35mm f2.8 version, but never really tried it yet.
@@ohjajohh Thank you! That lens feels really plastic, but the optics are surprisingly good. Always nice to see quality coming out of a cheap lens. On 10-21-2024 I will come up with the 35mm F3.5 from this brand.
