Fuji GF 23mm Thoughts After 5 Years Is It Worth The Price
Is the 120 CZJ a macro lens? I wonder how it compares to the GF 110 f/2. If you are going to use portraits in your examples, it seems like comparing it to the GF 110 is a better choice over the GF 120 macro.
Thanks for the feedback. The CZ120 is not a macro lens. I wish I had the 110 to compare, but did not have it available.
I was hoping for more technical information but now I'm not sure if the lens shown is worth the time. I'm A novice photographer going on since 2005 and most of my vintage lens are Olympus. Soon to get Olympus 135mm'f2.8. Entered with 135' JC Penny f2.8. ,which by my guess takes extra ordinary shots .
Thank you for the feedback. The vintage Olympus lenses are very nice, and I've used a couple really good JC Penny lenses, and a couple that weren't so good. Guessing it was because they sourced out to different manufacturers to make the lenses.
Really fascinating, thanks Marshall for documenting this entire process! It's not something I'm planning to try myself, but I really appreciate the video and your detailed instruction. Super educational, thank you! Edit: oh and by the way, your results are outstanding!
Thank you for the feedback.
Interesting experiment, thanks for the video Marshall. The clarity of that spider web between the lower and upper bridge sections was pretty amazing.
Thank you for the comment. The CZ lens glass is so good, and that spiderweb is a good example of just how good.
What’s the idea of using a 35mm film lens on the gfx sensor.
Thank you for the comment. The main reason is to see how this lens performs. It produces amazing colors and contrast, but can it handle the larger sensor of the GFX.
I am a pure amateur who loves taking pictures living in South Korea. I felt it after watching your video. You are truly the greatest photographer of this century. You have imprinted the true colors, light and focus in our hearts and memories. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the photography.
I have the 120 CJZ lens which I originally used on a Kiev 60 and now use with a Pentax 67 adaptation. I have always found this lens to be sharp but better is its beautiful rich and natural color rendering. It is also very light to carry!
Thank you for your comment and experience with the 120mm. The color is fantastic with this lens. This lens, like the 80mm CZJ are both really light, and that is super helpful carrying them around.
Find yourself a pancolar!
Thank you for the comment, as I sit here and day dream for a pancolar
@@marshalljvanderhoofphoto you wont be disappointed!
@@creepyoldhouseexplorersclub I had a 50 pancolar at one time years ago when I shot film. They are nice.
How about the AF with sony emount cameras
Thank you for the comment. Just by feel, the auto focus was pretty good and mostly crisp, but not quite as good as say having the lens mounted on a 1D Mark II say (the 1D II and this lens is my usual long focal length combination). The main difference is that the lens would hunt a little more on the Sony than with the native Canon EF mount mostly when trying to af on birds in trees. This was really minimal though, and would not stop me from using this lens/camera combination in the future.
I have a couple of them and the f series lense is my favorite. I use the pentax on my K-50. Works great.
Thank you for the comment and the heads up on the f series lenses.
I don't understand why anyone would put a lens for a 135 format on a somewhat of a medium format camera and not expect vignetting. I have this lens and as any CZ lens, it shines on the format it was meant for. It's color rendering is beautiful as is the bokeh. Much better, in my opinion, than even a Summicron-R 50mm which I also own. Use a Pentacon6 CZ lens on your Fuji to get rid of vignetting and get beautiful color rendering with high acuity.
Thank you for the comment and Pentacon6 CZ lenses suggestion. I use them regularly on my GFX camera. They are absolutely fantastic. This was an experiment to see how well the 35mm lenses did on the digital MF. Now we know. Over all the resolution holds up fairly well and they could be used if you are willing to crop the images and accept using a little more sharpening in post. Overall I agree that sticking to MF lens is probably the better idea, but I also know there are many of us that have the vintage 35mm lenses laying around and why not try to use them where we can.
I appreciate this video. Though the Zeiss 50 1.4 wasn't really on my radar, I have considered a nifty 50 comparison on the GFX, but can confidently say your video has excluded this lens from lenses I would consider. The barrel distortion alone was too much for me personally. If you have the chance to test the Zeiss 50 f4 for pentacon six, that is a lens I am often curious about. Obviously not going to have the most bokeh, but I imagine it's got some good points.
Thank you for the comment. I'm out currently, but I think I own the 50. It's either the 50 or the 65mm. Thank you for the inspiration for a soon to be made video.
@@marshalljvanderhoofphoto I'd also be interested if it's a 65mm as I am not away of that lens. The one I am referring to is the "Flexagon". Every day I consider selling my GF 250mm and invest in some older medium format glass for my own reviews. The advantage is of course they don't go down in value, so I can buy and sell to my hearts content. Disadvantage, the GF 250mm is such an epic lens, and it's hard to see a day when I will spend that kind of money again for a single lens.
@@filmstudiojapan It might take me a few weeks but I will get a review out of the lens I have. I've heard really good things about the GF250. That would be a difficult lens to part with for sure.
The 65mm is more rare than the 50mm because they stopped making it in 1969. The 65mm was supposed to be only mediocre. A few years ago I set out to acquire the whole set of the CZ Jena lenses, but did not get one them because I ran out of funds at the time. When I get back from traveling I'll figure out which one I have and put it on the Fuji for some fun.
@@marshalljvanderhoofphoto Thanks for the info. Always interested to learn about lenses.
In the vintage lens world, the Contax zeiss are pretty much the best there is except maybe the Leica Rs.
Thank you for the input. The C/Y Zeiss lenses are amazing for sure.
Thanks for your effort on these videos. Excellent work.
Thank you for the comment and kind words.
! have one for a year and it is great. In the right situation- mainly in BW- it shines.
Sweet! Thank you for the comment. Glad you like it.
Another nice video :) pity that the vignetting is still limited by the image circle. I haven't used my M adapter on my GFX in a while so thanks for the reminder! My lenses are so small that they look silly but I haven't tried my new one yet 😅
Thank you for the kind words! The vignetting is a bummer, but cropping is an option, especially with the large GFX sensor. Also agree that the vintage lens are so light and small they do look a little odd on the larger cameras. I did like the idea of carrying around less weight all day with smaller/lighter lens though.
So fun to take the Carl Zeiss 50mm f1.4 lens out on Fujifilm GFX 50s. What are your favorite vintage lenses for the GFX system?
What do you mean it has good shallow depth of field, but doesn't hold up to other lens? Do you mean "Bokeh" or "quality of the out of focus areas" ? Depth of field is a stict mathematical property and ANY 135 f2.8 lens ( or zoom lens used at 135mm f2.8 ) will have THE EXACT SAME depth of field ( DOF ) - but of course different out of focus "look" or bokeh. The DOF is dependent on 4 main factors and WILL NOT change with different lens if all these are equal: focal length, aperture, distance to subject and size of sensor ( or film size ).
Thank you for your comment and the questions. I completely agree with you that DOF is a mathematical property. I am really referencing a few things in talking about the CZ and f2.8 DOF. I was really surprised how sharp it is at f2.8 since many vintage lenses are not necessarily as sharp wide open as they are when they are stopped down a couple stops. Additionally, I really like the the "quality" of the out of focus areas which surprised me given that it is an f2.8 lens and not an f2 or even lower. Overall I really like the lens but if someone is looking for a lens with shallower DOF the CZ 135 f2 would probably be a better choice. Hope this answers your questions.
Please CHANGE THE VIDEO TITLE to Carl Zeiss Sonnar 135mm f/2.8 to be easily found. Need to be specific. Title of the video is Lacking.
Thank you for the feedback!
Excellent video
Thank you!
Awesome!
Thank you
Thank you for reminding me about styles! I really need to set up a custom style as I do always seem to do the same several tweaks to photos, followed up with a couple of custom changes. That would make things so much faster for batch processing!
Thank you for the comment, and glad that you found it to be a good reminder. We all need those every once in a while.
I really enjoy spending as much time shooting photography as possible. By finding short cuts and using automation in editing tools really saves a lot of time for editing. Capture One Styles and Presets really helps with that. What's your favorite C1 or any editing app tool to save you time?
Just bought this lens for my Sony A7ii, this video makes me feel more confident to shoot with it, Thanks Marshall
Thank you for the comment! Congrats on the new lens. I really enjoyed going out shooting with it for this video. Hope you enjoy it and create many amazing images with it.
my man couldn't hit one focus right on this vídeo haha keep it up
Nice video as usual. My all time favorite lens to date was the Nikkor 200-400mm Af-s F4. Very similar images to yours and similar weight. In a weird way I miss the weight. My hands felt it to the point of pain at times, but it seemed to strengthen my back and shoulders, both of which have issues.
It is really interesting how carrying the weight really makes me focus on what I'm doing. It is definitely a workout, but the images make it so worth it.
@@marshalljvanderhoofphoto Do you find yourself with the lens down studying the wild life a bit more carefully before picking your shots?
@@filmstudiojapan That is a great question. I find that a longer lens like the Canon 500mm puts up close in a world that I would otherwise not really be able to see. An example of this is being able to really look at all the feathers of a bird and in some cases see into their eyes the same way I would with say a portrait in the studio. For me it really is a journey that I absolutely enjoy. As for the shots, I actually study the area and chase reflections on the water to add color to the image naturally, or look for an interesting foreground/background and then mostly wait for the wildlife.
Genius. 🤯
Thank you!
Thank you ❤
Most considerations in this test were about depth of field and the disadvantage of shooting moving targets with a thin focus plane and a manual focus lens. This is generic. It should be mainly about the excellent colors, the special Sonnar bokeh (not for everyone, but definitely for me) and the contasts, that are laborous to create in post (no it's not just adjusting the contrast slider). All this and more create the character of this lens, with this legendary, beautifully old fashioned lens design. Sonnars still rule.
Thank you for the comment. I do completely agree your take on the character of this lens and the colors it renders are outstanding.
Thanks for sharing!
Would you consider (have you tried) using a teleconvertor on this combo (180mm)? If so, which one would you recommend?
What do you do with the images you don’t want to edit?
Thank you for the question. I tend to save all the images I shoot. I generally do not shoot a ton of images while I'm out. I really focus on composition and take my time as much as possible. That said, saving all the images does take up a lot of hard drive space.
That's a beast of a lens, but the pictures are amazing! Great quality! Love the wildlife shots!
Thank you for the comment. It is definitely a beast to carry around, but the images really do make it worth it.
Had a lot of fun going out with the 500mm f4 and shooting images of the birds. What is your experience with this lens or any other super telephoto lenses?
Thanks man!😊
I own and use the following: 135mm f/2.8 Takumar 135mm f/2.8 Fujinon 135mm f/3.5 Nikkor 135mm f/2 Nikkor (my favorite for portraits) 135mm f/2 Zeiss (my favorite for photojournalism)
That is a nice list of 135's and thank you for you input on which are your favorite!
I use a Zeiss 135mm f/2 Nikon F mount lens on Nikon SLRs and Fuji X mirrorless cameras.
Thank you for the comment! The Fuji X cameras are a great lineup for using vintage lenses. Enjoy!
Very informative but please Jena is pronounced “Yenah” 😅
Thank you for the feedback.
Thanks a lot for the great video! It give me a lot of inspiration. I just purchased a GFX 50r, and became a new Medium Format user. (Mainly, since the price of X100VI is even higher than GFX50r + a native lens, crazy world~) And...Pardon me for asking, which kind of adopter do you used for CZ jena lens? I hope I can find a nice 180mm CZ jena lens for my 50r. I have a native 50mm lens, but I think I still need a telephoto lens:)
Thank you for the comment and welcome to the Medium Format Digital World! I use the Kipon Pentacon 6 to GFX adapter. There are a variety of adapters available, and since they do not have any electronics I really don't see much difference between them. Hope that helps. Enjoy that 50r.
Invert masks! Thank you! Makes so much sense!
Thank you for the comment! Hopefully this speeds up your editing process like it did to mine.
Best lens with the 80mm
Thank you for your comment and input!
Nice tip, I started with darktable and still split my edits between this and C1, so many things like invert have remained hidden to me. Had no idea about the subject detect masking either, and have been doing things the hard way. Thanks!
Thank you for the comment! Hopefully the tips help you like they help me.
Do You Use Masks? What Do You Use Them For? Thank you for watching.
I really enjoy using the 80mm and 180mm Carl Zeiss Jena lenses on that other 'affordable' medium format brand, Pentax. My copy of the 120mm however is very soft and I never use it, thanks to your video I might get me another example of this lens. One advantage of the Fujifilm GFX system is focus peaking I imagine, what are your experiences with this?
Thank you for the comment. Too bad to hear that your 120mm copy isn't that sharp. I really love my copy. Focus peaking is amazingly helpful with the GFX system. Especially when I'm shooting with a shallow depth of field and want to make sure that the focus is exactly where I want it.
Wow an $18 bag of lenses, that's hard to beat! Very informative video Marshall, thanks!
Thank you for the comment and glad you it was informative for you.
I recently sold my Pentax-M 50mm 1.7 after using it for a year adapted to a m43 camera. Pros: Really sharp between 2.8-8.0 Excellent build quality. Easy to focus. Lightweight. Cheap. Very filmlike result at 1.7 Cons: Soft and low contrast at 1.7 Color fringing at large apertures. And the biggest con - hexagonal shaped bokeh balls at any aperture except 1.7
Thank you for the comment and your experience with the 50 1.7. I could see the hexagonal bokeh being an issue, especially you don't want it.
I have the 55 F/1.8 M42 mount Pentax adapted to GFX, and it does surprisingly well. It is a bit of my therapy lens after lugging around 2 or 3 KG of lenses all week. I paid about $20 for that lens, and recently picked up the Pentax 135mm F/2.8 for $2. I needed to open it and clean out some mold, but it's working again surprisingly well now, especially for $2.
Thank you for the comment. The 55 sounds interesting, especially on a GFX camera. Good to know, since I shoot with the the GFX system as well. The GF lenses can definitely get heavy after carrying them around for a bit.
@@marshalljvanderhoofphoto Yeah, the 55 is nice. Vignette is non existent in many cases (f stop and lighting dependent). The 135 also has no real vignette, and that lens is very sharp. I need a new copy of the asahi 200mm 5.6 as I have that lens but it didn't survive my last internal cleaning. It has very pleasing colors has one of my favorite focusing rings (butter smooth) and is known to be very sharp too, plus for a 200mm it's tiny. Not sure yet if it covers the gfx sensor as I was just using it on micro 4/3rd years back.
What is your favorite Vintage 50mm?
Hi Marshall! it was fun to see your process! One suggestion to save time on clean up is to have a base shot before any splashes. Then you can simply "paint" in the base shot with photoshop!
Thank you for the comment! That is a great suggestion. Definitely a big time saver to have an image that you could paint in a base. I actually bet you could create an action for that if you had a lot of images.
You forget the important part, what is the filter haha
Thank you for the comment. The images in this video were all shot with the Hoya R72 IR filter.
Thanks Marshall for your honest review. I agree trying to use a manual focus sometimes can be frustrating. My favorite 135mm is the Steinheil 135 mm 2.8. There is something special about the way in renders a scene. The color and sharpness is first class.
Thank you for the comment. I have never used the Steinheil 135mm 2.8 before. Sounds like a great lens. I so enjoy that "special" quality of the vintage lenses for sure. Manual focusing can definitely be tough for some types of photography, but not all.
