Magic talks about Biotar 50/1.4. The bokeh monster mounted on Sony A7R III. Is this the most epic blur ever?

Such a cool lens! SO JEALOUS!

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

It is pretty amazing!

[@mikevallely8332]

Love your hoodie bro!

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

That's a NAPSACK! And I love it too :D Thanks

[@campbells0ups]

awesome video! this lens is a wish list item for me but i do own the later CZJ pancolar 50/2 and im looking to scope out a CZJ biotar 58/2 this month! both of those lenses also give a great vintage image

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

Thanks! How is that pancolar? I got the Meyer Optik Gortliz new Biotar - will soon make a video on it!

[@AirFuchs1]

I like the bokeh of your jacket.

I hunted down one of these lenses last year for my A7iii (I have since sold it since it wasn't getting much use). I agree with your thoughts on it entirely. It's produces very painterly looking portrait images quite unlike any other lens that I've used. But it's a one-trick pony that has borderline usable sharpness at 1.4

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

Yep! Exactly my thoughts although I decided to keep it so I can pull out some magical painting-like shots from time to time. Do you have any other old school lenses in your Arsenal?

[@JamesClark1991]

@@MagicWeddingPhotographer Only a few left which I use for photos (Canon FL 55mm 1.2, Canon FD 50mm 1.4, Canon FL 35mm 2.5).
If you like rainbow flares from that Leica 50mm btw the Canon 135mm FL f/2.5 produces very similar flares but it's difficult to manual focus due to the focal length.

You might be also interested to try Leica Summarit 50/1.5, it is pretty cheap and has interesting rendering. As for Biotar, if you like this design Helios are same design, Helios 44 and Helios 40 specifically interesting

[@Gefterws]

i have helios 44m-4 , its f2 ,but still good, atleast i like it , it for my self

Ciao Boss 🍕🇮🇹🤙🏻👌🏻

[@alexcarrillo5510]

Good Video, as the lens is designated to be on a Original 16mm Motion Picture Camera called the Pentaflex for a 16 AK 16 Mount Not C mount as it was adapted for your camera, Clever to use these Well known Zeiss Jena lenses that I for my Praktina mount as I also adapted to use them on my Fuji Mirrorless models. Again Good video using simple logic. Thank You

[@pattespattes]

flat bokeh is almost boring me now, that kind of lens make strong feelings about photography taked with it. This is why i try to shoot portrait session on my weddings with the Pentax 77ldt instead of classic 70-200 2.8.

[@steven1811]

I am almost afraid to ask how much you paid for this lens.

[@MagicWeddingPhotographer]

Haha it was not so bad - around 500usd

[@balubalaji9956]

for a asecond i thought it was green screen edit

[@Kframevideo]

This bokeh is so sux, looks harsh...
