Nice video, really like that lens too! I got two of those, which are pretty much parfocal. Maybe it’s because of the additional lens element inside your adapter?
i was gonna make a video about this lens, already wrote the script and shot all the b-roll but never ended up finishing it. it's certainly a useful lens, but some of it's short comings could be deal breakers for a lot of people. the minimum focussing distance this lens has is pretty bad, plus it's soft at at close focus. you said it doesn't flare too bad but i think it flares quite a lot at certain angles, and these flares are huge and oddly shaped. it's obviously a matter of taste but as you said, clamp-on matte boxes aren't suited for this lens, so either you accept giant flares or you go for a rig with rails. still one of the most underrated vintage zooms, there are few lenses with that big of a range and that low of a constant f-stop. the bokeh is pretty, too. then again, you have to like pentagonal bokeh to like this lens :D
I read this lens was just before the release of L glass... might want to try CY Zeiss 35-70 3.5(macro too) sharp... the FD>EF glass adapters are a deal breaker for me. Obviously other mirrorless formats no prob
Damn , the rendering of the image is beautiful. I can see this look being perfect for many situations

It’s funny you like that lens so much bc I bought it awhile back and found it to be insanely mid across the board.
If you like this, try out the ef mount 28-105mm f3.5…its one of my favorite dual purpose lenses
I will have to look into that one thanks!

Amazing video! Sub’d!
Are you more living in the idea of what your doing than in what you are doing? Like the Leica snob?
