Is This DIRT CHEAP Vintage 50mm F1.8 Worth It On Modern Cameras?
Просмотров 47121 день назад
Nikon made their 50mm F1.8 with this design for over 40 years, is it any good on a modern camera? In further testing I realized the contrast is better in the Minolta lens because the front element is set deeper into the barrel (kind of like a built in hood). *Affiliate links do not cost viewers anything, but they do send a small amount of money to creators to continue providing content.

Firmware 1.02 Vs. a6700 Overheating, & A New Problem With The Camera!
Fun to play with, but honestly the cheap new native chinese lenses are much better, and usually have AF, so I don't use my old MF lenses much on mirrorless.
Yes, for just saving money they aren’t worthwhile for everyone. Vintage lenses are great for those of us who occasionally enjoy the process of adjusting focus and aperture manually (as well as any “character” they may achieve of course). I like the nostalgia as well!
Such a solid lens and focal length, and cool you cleaned it and modded it. My dream would be a 28mm full frame F1.2... Also, its now only a matter of time before I watch your, "i finally bought the A7Cii" video!!
Hey Brian! I’d love to get my hands on that Viltrox 27mm f1.2, but of course that’s me picking up another APS-C lens👀lol. Yes, I’m doing a lot of full frame thinking here🧐.
❤❤❤
Salam Mahshid joon!!
You are genius... I've been trying to solve this issue for forever now! Thank you!!
Haha! It was you who got me thinking about it Brian, when you mentioned it man lol. I just took take my chances to see how it'd go 😁.
@chosenideahandle I'm the idea guy (I lazily point out a problem, you're the execution man (you toil over the solution), but great teamwork)!
@@BrianCatalano Haha! I know you better than that Brian. You have LOADS of solutions I'm borrowing from you all the time😁!
😂good solution! 😂😂
Thanks! 💖😁
Hey! How did you update the firmware on your tamron 70-300 lens for Sony? Mine does not have a usb port nor do I find a compatible tap in console for the e-mount. Help?
Hi! You need a computer with the update downloaded onto it from Tamron. With a full battery in your camera, connect it to your computer via USB, and launch the updater. It will find your lens, but make certain you follow the provided instructions. The most important thing is that the USB connection is uninterrupted during the update.
Hi Marko jan ❤❤❤
Hi Mahshid Joon!!!
Yay!!! My favorite spots... Nice shots!✨✨
Haha! Thank youuuu❤
Really interesting lens, I love that photo of the black and white motorcycle...as well as the history lessons. Quality review!!
Haha! I can always count on you man. Much appreciated, as usual! I have an old Tokina 28mm that I was gifted as well, that I’m looking forward to trying out soon. It’s a 2.8, but the focal length might be handy (since I’m still APS-C here). I goofed the title here (it read 80-100), just fixed it.
This is very good work, nice video, nice audio, great pictures. I received this with another Nikkor and film camera a few weeks ago (as a gift). I'm excited to get them snapping. Keep up the good work.
See, this is the kind of comment that keeps me posting videos (with no other indications whatsoever my channel will ever go anywhere lol). In all seriousness thank you, the kind words are VERY much appreciated! Have fun out there!
@@chosenideahandle You're welcome. Keep doing what you love!
Yes, or a mini telescope. 😝 Marko with the sarcasm.
Haha! No sarcasm... ever... dead serious 😁.
Hello Sir , which lens I have to purchase, from both lenses?
Hi! The choice is clear if you have a full-frame camera, then you would want the Sony (if choosing between the two). If your camera has an APS-C sensor, I recommend the Sigma. It's light gathering ability is better (with the F1.4 max aperture), and it makes up for some background blur lost when shooting with a smaller APS-C sensor. The price of the Sigma is also far more attractive.
This was such a star studded episode! You look like one of the crew, a perfect trio there! I would have asked Gerald about the A1ii though! Great video as usual!
Haha! Hey Brian! It's a pretty small group here in TO, so I figured most would show up this year. I was surprised Dunna made it in from BC though👀. Did you see that purple lens that Viltrox made for Gerald? So crazy, but kinda cool. Thanks for the kind words, as usual!
Hi Marko jan
Hi Mahshid joon!!!
You left him hanging 😂
Haha! He did say... and there ya go👀. Nice to see you here buddy👍.
And It was at this moment Apexel knew that they f***d up 😂
Haha! Hey Ramon! It’s been awhile since I’ve seen you in the comments! Ya, they might not be happy. With a channel as small as mine, I guess not much of an impact though.
iPhone Mini Telescope!?! Love your honesty here!
Hey Brian! They probably could of did something cool here, but maybe next time (I don’t think they’re sending anything next time lol). At ProFusion they did have a phone lens that actually blew me away. It was one of those probe lenses. It wasn’t expensive, which makes more sense for people that wouldn’t be using one all the time. I’d need a bigger phone for that too though🤷🏻♂️. Maybe I eat it and start carrying a big phone again lol. Thanks for dropping in, as usual!

Thank youuuuuu! 💕
The image quality was really quite impressive, great video of your dad too! Yet, it's sad when you're older than something that's considered vintage...
Hey Brian! Thanks for your encouraging words, as usual. You moisturize lol? I know I’m vintage😂.
Cool review, I just bought a Mini 2 SE and K & F filters so I am happy to have seen your take on it. Looking forward to experience them. Thanks and your video is still actual
Thanks for dropping bye! Cool someone's getting something out of these lol. I switched to the Mini Pro and went K & F again. I've been buying their bags, light modifiers, and filters for my actual full sized cameras. They do solid stuff, now to get them to start sending me things!
Great video, thank you for sharing, appreciate you
I appreciate the kind words, and I'm happy someone is watching out there! Thanks!
Hello, of course I'm here watching... Also, I think I've been under a rock as I didn't even realize that Peter Mckinnon covered Luminar Neo. I literally use the program every day and find new tools each time...and I haven't used the color transform yet. Also, the relight is one of my favorites... Yet, what I love is that you can brush/paint or erase each mask each later that you apply, so that gives you complete control over every tool. The result was a killer thumbnail as well!
There is the man himself!! As usual, thanks so much for popping in Brian. So many possibilities with this, I'd honestly need a year to go through my old drives of photos to see what to Neo-ize lol. Your words always encourage me here BTW!
great video
Much appreciated Lanre!
I switched over to Luminar Neo a few months back and love it...and love it way more than I thought. I also have aperty too but haven't played too much with. Regardless, I use Luminar to develop and do 90% of the work and Aperty to fix blemishes. Love all these tools. Great video!!
Hey Brian! I'm looking forward to adding Luminar Neo to my landscape work when I start travelling again! I've been digging up old RAW files and breathing new life into them here lol. I like it! Thanks for the kind words and your visit, as usual man.
Very informative with cool music in the background!🤩😄
Thanks!
I love their monitors but for some reason the Shimbols dont come with sunshades, but really cool products overall. I actually just picked the viltrox monitor because it has s cool pop up shade
Hey Brian! Yeah, now I'm left to hunt down an aftermarket shade somewhere lol! I should check out the Viltrox monitors, the pop up shade sounds cool 👀.
@@chosenideahandle if you find a shade let me know... I searched for awhile and gave up and since ducked tape an old one on. The Viltrox is super cheap and I literally only bought because of the shade design
These look incredible! Wow! I was choosing between this and the 28-200 for video in indoor concerts. But with the firmware update, I think this lens might work well given the extra reach! Thanks so much!
I'm glad I could help! Welcome to the channel, and thank you for the kind words😊.
Some beautiful wildlife shots! Ugh... You're making me want this lens now!!
Hey Brian! It's a nice one, but I wish it had that lock on it. It's been with me on our last couple of big trips. I had the Sony G version years ago when we went to Costa Rica, and I was ready to throw it into the ocean after the first few days (double the weight of the Tamron, murder on my neck)!
I have to look into the Deadcat mic. You can't hear a whisper of wind. Love this episode, it was so you! Some history, camera gear and good music! Keep them coming. 🤩
Haha! Thanks for the kind words there😊! The deadcat is just the little furry thing that goes over the mic, but I cheated and used AI voice isolation in my video editor (Da Vinci Resolve). The mic is the Hollyland Lark M2, and it also has it's own built in noise reduction l, but I don't really use it👀.

Lol. Yep, it’s a danger! It is pretty nice being able to go see what’s new once and awhile without spending, but not easy! Cool seeing you here, as usual Brian!

Cool DeadCat mic on your shirt!
Lol. Thanks❤
Thanks- I just updated my Tamron 70-300. Going on a trip soon and will be definitely be putting this lens in my bag. I had not heard of this update from any other source so your short video is greatly appreciated!
I'm glad it helped! I just shot some tests for my full-length video, and the update definitely does the trick! Thanks for your comment.
Lost one of those on my first outing as well. Think I will Loctite the next one!
Haha! Not a bad idea! Thanks for the comment 😁.
Please suggest Blue yeti x or rode nt usb plus or any mic under $170
I'd highly recommend the RØDE VideoMic GO II. I just sold the RØDE NT-USB+ to do everything with the VideoMic GO II. I just did a video comparing the two here... ruclips.net/video/SvySBSGzTrM/видео.html
@@chosenideahandle I have added two more please suggest me shure mv7+ or rode podmic usb main purpose is for youtube videos. Good audio, plug and play. Budget 200$
would you still happen to have the fx30 ver 4.00 update bodydat file? if so could you upload it please.
Sorry I don't! I won't be deleting those older updates in the future though! I wish I could help🤦♂️.
@@chosenideahandle thanks no worries
Great video and great reminder to check lens' firmwares... Thank you!
Hey Brian! Well, your shorts are so nicely done ("crafted" is the word!), and I just throw up a camera haphazard lol. If B&H hadn't emailed me about the firmware, I would of assumed there weren't even going to be any updates. It was spooky that just after I checked for updates on it, they finally came out with one. It's been three years with no updates! I'm off to shoot my first job today with the somewhat new 10-18mm Sigma (APS-C) that came out with... exciting! I haven't bought a new lens in awhile.
@@chosenideahandle I was actually thinking, I need to do what you do, which is set up a camera with an idea in hand, specifically to shoot a short. I still just chop up my longform to repurpose... But I think yours just looks better as well as feeling more targeted. I usually only hear about firmware updates from Instagram (via the lens manufacturer), so I hardly ever catch them. Happy shooting with your sigma!!
I approve this mic test
Finally, a video up to the Bennett standard lol! Thanks for dropping in on the humble channel here Mark😁👍!

@@chosenideahandle Hi Marko jan😍😍😍
I could hear the difference but surprised how negligible it was... Ooh, I'm wondering now where Mark thought you'd be!? I remember him when he was at 2k subs and then after like 3.3k he just blew up, but he definitely puts the work in and not just publishes a ridiculous amount, he maintains that quality too! I wish I had whatever coffee he's drinkin!
Haha! Thanks for dropping by, as usual Brian! Yes, I need that coffee (or that apple juice lol). It was a “revelation” that the preamp is actually called a “revolution” preamp lol🤪. I always seem to find some mistake after the fact! When are you flying out to London?
@@chosenideahandle mistakes seem to be the consistent factor in all my videos too... It's just a matter of how many! I actually flew back from London and Lisbon already, did 3 weeks at end of Aug. but had to get back to get my son back into school or else I would be looking for a permanent home in Portugal!
@@BrianCatalanolol. There could be worse things I guess, I love Portugal 😆. I’ve only been to the Algarve though. I’d like to see Lisbon someday!
