Definitely a touch nicer than the modern glass IMHO. Not that the ef lenses you've shown are in any way bad. I enjoy using my nikkor-h 50mm f2 (pre Ai) on my 5D but for most things I miss the auto stop down and auto focus of my ef 50 1.8ii. I'm usually shooting my kids so I guess with mf glass it would be a matter of setting hyperfocal and keeping it at f11 or so! Thanks as always!
nikkor-H is a great lens. i love using the pre-AI nikkor's on the 5D. they always work great and i like the aperture control on those. my EF 50/1.8ii never auto focused well enough for me.
@@campbells0ups mine seems to do OK although it's virtually the only af lens I've used so it may be a bit poor compared to other ef lenses. I'm super keen to get my hands on a nikkor-o 35 f2. The impressive centre sharpness and the way it falls off towards the edges give such a stunning image aesthetic IMHO!! Plus colour and contrast seem to be magical from that lens. 🤤
Thanks for noticing the grain! I don't do much post-editing, just the basics really, I prefer keeping things quite natural. Depending on the situation, I add grain by using a higher ISO in-camera. The 5D tends to render quite organic grain, especially for black and white. My ISO setting can range from 800 to the extended 3200.
Dope !!! One of my fav accounts man. I shot the 5D Classic the other day myself, most recent video on my page (also in the camera based playlist), check it if you get some time !
Thank you for your kind feedback! I'm thrilled to know that you're finding the content enjoyable 🙌 I just had the pleasure of watching your 5D Classic video, and I must say, you've truly encapsulated the essence of this camera and its special affinity with the 50mm lens. I can see you had an interesting and fun day out on the pier 😎 I Enjoyed your collection of images, but if I had to choose my top three, 1.20, 1.28 and 1.31. I hope we get see more of your Canon 5D Classic images in the near future 👍
@@paulappleby2729 Wow !!! Thanks for the words man, and thanks for taking the time ! And you nailed it, 50mm is my favorite lens on there. Think I want to get a 35mm tho, we'll see. Definitely going to shoot the 5D again soon, I have it ON the table and not in the bag.. If I see it out and on the table, I'm more inclined to take it with me. In the bag I get forgetful lol. Chat soon and keep shooting ! You're one of the goats w/ the 5D !
It’s great to hear your 5D, like mine, is always out ready to shoot 📸😎 I would like to try out the 35mm prime, but I found the 40mm pancake more suitable for me. If you do get the 35mm be sure to make a video on it, the images you’ll produce I’m certain will finally persuade me to get one 😀 Your kind words are very encouraging 🙌 You too keep shooting!
Great pictures! What adapter are you using? Will it focus on infinity?
I've been wanting to try some old lenses - nice video. Best wishes!
They are definitely a challenge, but that's half the fun 🙌 Best wishes to you too! 👍
Can recommend hidden gem takumar 50mm f1.4 , even more characteristics on the glass.
Thanks for the recommend 👍
great suggestion, both the super-tak and the helios 44 give excellent warm creamy images

whats' the music used here?
Lovely images. I was expecting more swirly bokeh, but the location probably did not allow for it.
Nicely done ❤
Thank you 😎👌
Wondering about the processing of the bnw, they look kinda nice and gritty, did you add grain or anything?
