- Something a little different today. The Canon FD 50mm 1.4 S.S.C. has been one of my favorite parts of my kit for the last three years, and I felt like it deserved a tribute in video essay style.

being able to adapt so many lenses is one of the best parts of mirrorless cameras! Also this music is giving me major GxAce vibes
Absolutely! It opens up so many creative possibilities!! Yessss he was a huge inspiration for this video. So talented! Thanks for watching!!
@@StevenSchultz your shots looked great!
i haved use a ton of glasses since 25 years. In 2015 i purchased my actual 50mm, a new-fd 50mm 1.4, in new condition, for 80€ to a collector. I reboot all my stuff around this lense. Pure Love. For my last doc "chevaux :l'instinct du troupeau" about horses here in france, i used theses glasses : 24 2.8 old_fd, 28 2.8 new-fd, 50 1.4 new-fd, 135 2.0 new-fd, 200 1.8 new-fd, and two modern lenses for few shots.
This is such a cool video Steven! Love the work that went into this simple lens overview. Would love to see more content like this!
Thank you so much, Nathan!! So grateful to hear that man. I definitely plan on making more videos in this style going forward! :)
Yo I never expected this lens to be this so good for video! My grandfather had one on his shelf. I think I might try to use it on my sony camera but I just need an adapter. Thank you for this video!
Gxace approved 😂
I’ll never come close 😂 but my goodness is he an inspiration!
This was so sick! Loved the music and the shots in this one!
Thank you so much! So glad you liked it!! 😊
I played this video when I wasn't looking, and for a second I thought I accidentally opened a GxAce video 😅
In all seriousness, this video is wonderful. Wonderful music, editing, and what a wonderful lens as well! I've found 3 of this exact lens in amazing condition in a shop nearby but didn't buy them. I think I will now!
Dude this video is so intriguing, i love the sound design, with the music and dialogue. Great video!!
I’m so happy to hear you liked this style! Thanks for watching!!
Stunning!
Thank you Heng!!
I've got old Minolta lenses that I have for my SR-T 101, and really like to film and photograph with them on my little Sony APSC camera - I've especially noticed the halation effect in bright lighting that feels very filmic to me, and they are actually CRAZY sharp, even compared to the Sigma 16mm f1.4 lens I have for the camera.
Dang that sounds so cool! Minolta made some underrated lenses. The character that older glass has is truly special. Thanks for watching, Levi!!
I think people use the word "bokeh" willy-nilly nowadays. I'm a huge fan of old imperfect portrait lenses, and I keep seeing people talk about bokeh when discussing samples from modern Sony/Sigma/Canon/Nikon lenses. Those lenses have no bokeh, THIS lens has bokeh! Bokeh should be re-defined as the out of focus rendering WITH character, with it's own intrinsic special look. Modern lenses with smooth as butter out of focus rendering have no bokeh, they have blur.
This lens is amazing!
Agreed!! I absolutely love it. Thanks for watching, Nuno!!
i love my fd lenses! fantastic video
They’re amazing! Thanks so much, Kendra!! 🙏
oooh so pretty!
Thanks Jackson!! ☺️
Great work once again! I wasn’t aware I could use my 50mm SSC on Canon’s R bodies, maybe you could do an overview of that as a part 2 to this?
Thank you so much, Sean! Totally, I’ve got an adapter video in the queue :) I really appreciate you watching!!
Love it
Thanks Joe!! 🙏
I have the same lens, but unfortunately the oil on the aperture blades (known issue with this lens) is terrible
Really cool video!
Thanks Rick!! 🙏
Yes Yes and Yes!!!
My guy!! Best hand model in town!!!
Well done. 5 star content. Cheers
Thank you very much, Carmine! Cheers!!
I haven't run into a copy at a price I'm willing to pay yet. I came across the 55mm 1.2 ssc aspherical combined with the late FD ssc 35mm f2 for so cheap it's hard to justify paying much for anything else.
Wow, that’s a fantastic combo! How do you like the 55mm 1.2? I’ve heard great things about it!
@@StevenSchultz the 55 1.2 is epic. Wide open it gets softer the farther you are from the subject but you can easily use it at portrait distances wide open and get amazing results. Also stop it down just a little and it cleans up nicely for farther subjects.
@@StevenSchultz It's an amazing piece of kit. Their may be vintage 50's with objectively more pleasing bokeh, but it's a damn good portrait lens. Sharp wide open at portrait distances (softer at long distances) and very pleasing rendering in my opinion.
i got a nice set of fd scc, 24, 35, 50 ,85,100 and we use anamorphic adapters on them for komodo and alexa and its amazing
Oh man, that’s an incredible set! I’m sure the image with those lenses and sensors is beautiful. Do you have any standout favorites in that lineup?
@@StevenSchultz
The Aivascope adapter we use only works with 35 50 and 85 and so far that trio is so good and matches so well together I can’t pick just one they all do so much
@@Itaketoomanypicsawesome! How were you able to convert them for the Alexa?
@@InfamousStar1 simmomods has a mount you can switch out for 400$ so it becomes a Fd mount instead of pl or ef
Are you adapting this lens to the R series cameras? If so do you have to manually focus?
Hi David! Yes, I’m adapting this lens to the RF mount, and I manually focus the lens when I use it. The focus peaking on the R5 and C70 is really helpful for nailing focus!
Commenting as this ad is playing and just want to say this lens is not $50
Yea it made me chuckle a bit. Copies in good condition of every decent 50 f1.4 are about 100 on average, if not more. You are lucky if you can find 1.7-2.0 for 50
On ebay there are lens with little scratches, tiny dust on the glass... for 50 dollars...will it be a good buy? I saw a youtuber that bought it for 26 dollars..and in very good condition... is it true? The best one I have found are for 70 dollars on ebay.
My stepmom found ut for 3 dollars on a garageshop 😂😂🎉🎉
Do you worry that some of the vintage lenses are radioacitve ☢?
Manual lens ?
Yes it is!
Music is WAY too loud. Big fail.
