Now that would be naughty! I usually find the A73 a little slow when it comes to compensating with iso/shutter, I really have to rack slowly for it to be of any use.
Looks good Phillip, i am using the old Sony A-mount lenses. 50mm 1.7 . I hope you are in good health mi. Thanks for the video. Regards from Denmark ..... Chris
I have an old Pentax 50mm 1.7 that is my Dads and I still use that with an adapter. Each one has a character, I am addicted to manual lenses. Thanks Chris, all the best from Poland! Denmark is wonderful 🔥
@@henrytheturnip I find the RS2 lidar focus is great, but it needs to be set up very, very well for it to work perfectly. I did try it with a few fully open lenses and it seemed to do the job very nicely, mind you it likes focusing on my nose.
Maybe something about the IQ and lenses character on a next video? 370 dollars for 1.2 lens for photography it might have some shortcomings? Very interesting lens, been watching it but holding the finger on the trigger😃
I pixel peeped a little, the IQ is as expected, an 80’s type of soft but sharp at f1.2, that’s what gives it character. It’s definitely a lens I’ll continue to use as I find it very nostalgic and “cinematic” in an unconventional arty farty way. Shortcomings, none, well, for a fully manual lens, none. Unless you don’t like character, in that case it’s full of shortcomings. I’d personally pick it up. Did you watch “You” on Netflix, some very interesting choice of lens going on there, so much character!
@@PhillipSkraba thanks for answering! I like character as long the image quality is doable. Don’t have to be stellar by anymeans. A lotnis forgiven when the price is right for a 1.2 lens. I was hoping for a more in depth look of this lenses characters🙂
I use Mieke 1.4 35mm on Canon M50 (EFM) and I think this is best investment of money in my life :) Seriously - this is cheap and awesome lenses, not only my 35mm.

Great Video Phillip, and Great Pictures. Nice Lens. Thank You.
Thank You Doug! It has a really nice feel to it.
Thanks Phillip 👍😊
No, Thank You!
Wow that lens produces some amazing images! Also, the pulling focus would entertain me forever. Just seems like an all around great lens to use!
It does! It's very dreamy. haha, I know! I've always loved pulling focus, it's a ton of fun.
@@PhillipSkraba It really is dreamy! Might need to look into getting a focus pull system just for fun one of these days haha!
Would love to see this lens aperture racking

My zv1 has rack focus too 😉
haha 😂 So does the Mavic 3
Great review, thank you for the info. I didn't see it in your description, so If you don't mind me asking; what wireless pull focus are you using?
Thanks! That's the Tilta Nano, it's pretty cool.
Thank for sharing 👍🙏🙏🔔
You’re welcome!
Hmmm what about that DJI Lidar autofocus thingy to turn this lens into an autofocus lens?
Sure, that can work on the Ronin RS2.
@@PhillipSkraba Well luckily I have an RS2, so maybe I will buy this lens. So there, you nice person, you :p

Great video. Subbed.
Thank You, welcome to the channel 🔥
Meike 50mm or 7artisans?
I love the Meike 50mm, mind you both have different feelings and characters, it really depends on how you feel about the image it produces.
@@PhillipSkraba “love” is a strong word
It is, and I do. The F1.2 does it for me.
Another question, sorry. How would this lens cope with macro rings, especially when stacking focus?
I'd say like any lens with macro rings. Depending on what strength you're using it'll be a ton of work to stack with, especially on a 50mm f1.2.
What size focus ring fits that lens?
Typo in the title, my dude! Thanks for the video!
Damn it, thanks for the heads up Boyden 🤜🏻🤛🏻
does your camera's focus ring makin noise sound when you focusing on something? bc i do
Nice video, what gear ring did you use on that lens?
Thanks! I use the Tilta gear rings, very nicely made and well priced, I basically picked up all the sizes 🔥
@@PhillipSkraba oh wow, that's insane - $2 each :O
@@ivotouart I have a huge box full of them as I have a problem with acquiring too many analogue lenses 😂
@@PhillipSkraba (un)fortunately I've just started discovering the wonderful world of vintage lenses :D

I agree, this one is absolutely wonderful! I can’t wait to try their Cine lenses 🥰
The Mieke :)
It’s so buttery 🤤
Meike is also buttery😄
