Chinon Lens Pros:
VERY Affordable
Lens Adapters
You can use any adapter you’d like, but I personally like to adapt all my vintage lenses to EF. From there, I can adapt EF to any camera.
So if you’re going to use these lenses on a Sony camera I would recommend adapting the lenses to EF and then use a single EF to Sony E adapter on your camera.
The lenses above come in a few different mounts but most will be M42 or PK so you can use the following adapters:
M42 to EF on Amazon (PAID LINK): geni.us/JwOAr8
PK to EF on Amazon (PAID LINK): geni.us/113jU8
And finally, here are the adapters I like for Sony and MFT:
EF to Sony E on Amazon (PAID LINK): geni.us/OzHzmP
EF to MFT on Amazon (PAID LINK): geni.us/hnTzL

So sorry about the sound in this video guys! Make a big whoopsie! Have a great day!
I have a Panasonic Gh4, which adaptor would be needed to use these lenses? Love your videos man! I'm tryna start shooting a short film by September at the earliest!
Amazing new set up
DSLR Video Shooter hey, love the vid - I have a G7 what mount would you consider me purchasing? I would like to buy a few of these lenses for my collection
We all make a whoopsie now and again!
@@alexm7582 You need a Micro 4/3 to M43 adapter to shoot with these lenses on your GH4. Just make sure when you buy the lenses that you are buying the M42 screw mount version of the lenses. hope this answered your question. Happy shooting
"Hi everyone, I'm Caleb with DSLR Video Shooter and I just picked up these lenses for just $256"
***Price on eBay spikes 1000 percent*** ;)
Kit Kohler No joke. Every lens on the list is already around $100 a pop.
cri
Just say the 35mm going 100$
I was just thinking about it...
you have the longest name ever.
loving the new lighting, and these lenses are beautiful!
I have quite a few of these lenses already in my collection. They are gems. I also like the softer look for moody videos. I could also add that for shooting on these newer camera sensors, especially the larger 42mp A7R III, we are actually asking a lot from these lenses since they were never intended to resolve on these current sensors. That being said, at 4K, I think they do an excellent job and the value for the money cannot be beaten!
Dude, amazing video! Loving the vintage lens content! Used to have a bunch of Chinon lenses, but never went as far as building a whole set. Amazing value for money!
All hail the vintage lens king!!! Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Caleb, I really appreciate the generosity of your videos. What I mean by that is: a) you are concise, so you don't waste your viewers' time (and yet your energy is calm rather than the hyped-up vibe that some aspiring tutorial gurus go for) b) You back up all of your suggestions with web links, saving your viewers TONS of research time. That attention to detail extends even to your suggestion to adapt the vintage lenses to Canon EF, then use one EF - NEX (Sony E) adapter on a Sony camera -- with links to recommended adapters. As I said, this thoroughness strikes me as generous. c) You are always cognizant that many people don't have budget for buying the top of the line / trendiest brand name gear, much of which is bizarrely overpriced.
You mention Canon FD lenses as another popular (yet more expensive) option for vintage manual lenses. I would LOVE to see a comparison of some of the leading vintage lenses: Chinon vs. Asahi Pentax Super Takumar vs. Canon FD vs. Nikkor ... and maybe throw in a Leica M from the 1980s for the high end.
This is great stuff. I will happily point undergraduate film students to your channel.
Looking forward to more vintage lens reviews, I love the look as opposed to the overly sharp digital look.
I got the 135mm after watching this video a few months ago for my new Sony A7iii but didn't use it until today. Wow is all I can really say. The tactile feel of the aperture ring and the smooth resistance of the focus ring had me hooked immediately. I was completely and immediately hooked on pulling focus. This thing blew me away and I can't wait to take it out and shoot with it tomorrow.
Love this kind of content, reminds me of some of your older videos that originally got me subscribed
I'm so excited to get back to this stuff!
Pretty smooth transition to the new set. New, but familiar. Great job!
needs more purple! LOL
Thanks boss!
Finally! For once I'm on time to watch your video (before it blows up).
wow... I remember using such a 55mm Chinon lens. With great results in landscape photography.
Nice to know this gear still performs today.
And thank you Caleb for refreshing our tired minds ! ✋🙂
FINALLY SOMEONE RECOGNIZES THESE LENSES!!! I had some for a while and couldn't find ANYTHING on these guys. Dirt cheap, full frame, awesome colors.
HUGE fan of adapted vintage lenses for CINE use. You can scale them right up to commercial production film and TV work as well. There is a massive professional DP group that has their own adapted vintage for their commercial work.
It's legit, from budget straight up the line to professional.
Great video dude.
I've seen amazing stuff done with the old Russian Helios lenses adapted to EF. Going for $50-$100 on eBay, super clean.
@@MatthewHinmanTexas Russian glass gets a lot of attention, but check out SMC Takumar M42 mounts. Those are photography's best kept secrets ;)
I was just looking for m42 mount lenses to pair it with my helios 44m when the ring belt. Really appreciate your contribution for low budget filmmaker starters
Love the new lighting. Looks spectacular 👌
Bro you are definitely one of the few RUclipsrs who has the cleanest lighting!
Aw thanks man!
Hey Caleb, where did you get focus gears for them? I was actually looking to pick up a couple, then this vid sealed the deal. I just wondered where to get the focus gears, and what size. Could you also tell me what you use to get a cap on them, do you just by step-up rings then a standard cap? Thanks for all the vids!
The new lighting set up is amazing! Maybe try a warmer tone too?
I like the different background, Caleb. Looks good.
Not really related to the video:
What is the setup on that camera shown on screen?
Is that what you use to shoot tabletop b roll?
Awesome stuff! Perfect timing on this video too; I'm DPing a short next month and I'm going with all vintage glass.
Just picked up the 135mm! That just about completes the lens lineup :)
Man, I love the new set design! Super clean.
I’ve done similar but with Takumar SMC screw mount lenses. They translate beautifully to video.
The SMC Takumars are way superior lenses!
will those lens work on sony cameras? and which models? thanks
@@bulcub youd have to have the ability to convert the lens mount to your cameras body's mount.... most of the mirrorless cameras have a very expensive selection of converter rings available to them.... except when talking canon to nikon or nikon to canon is about the only exceptions
This is such a bargain! Thanks for creating and sharing this video Caleb!!
now and than I come back and watch this video, just amazing!! :D
Very smooth, flattering looking light setup!
Can you do a video on how you 3d-printed the focus gear?
I literally posted an Auto Chinon 55mm 1.4 on Ebay that has been sitting in my gear pile earlier this week. I was wondering why it has so many bids & watchers, until I saw this video haha! Great video, and thanks for the extra bids coming my way!
Thanks for this - great info - just purchased a 50mm 1.7 - can't wait to see how it looks on my GH5
The original Caleb is back!
Thanks for this.
ordered my set! can’t wait
Really cool that you're sponsoring yourself. A very professional way to advertise educational products you made.
Caleb, love these kind of videos! Do more of vintage lens content! This video is kind of a throwback to when you used to talk a lot about Nikkor Lenses on the channel. Do more, please! ❤️ 🙏
More content like this is definitely on it's way!
@@dslrvideoshooter That sounds amazing! Cannot wait ❤️
PS: A few recommendations/wishes would be Russian OKT mount Lenses (Extremely Rare), Cooke Speed Panchros version II ("Godfather" Lenses), Contax C/Y mount lenses, Leica R Lenses, Minolta MC Rokkor PG Lenses, and also speciality C Mount lenses (vintage Russian and German Glass).
I've watched your "bargain lenses" videos before, and they're always very interesting. What is also interesting is how one of these videos drives up the prices of the lenses covered on eBay! I have a whole collection of Nikon manual lenses from the 1960's to 80's, and an adapter for my Panasonic G7. Think I'll try out some of them!
Great video. Nice examples, explanation and setup. I love vintage lenses and all this kind of content. Thanks for make visible this type of lenses, because not all is Zeiss, Sigma and Canon ;) I have one Auto Chinon 135mm 2.8 and it's lovely.
Thanks for sharing how great the Chinon lenses are. I have been using them for several years (35mm 2.8, 55mm 1.7, and the 135mm 2.8) love these lenses.
I had the Chinon 55mm f/1.7 M42 mount lens back in my Pentax days. It was really nice! I do regret letting it go when I switched to Nikon DSLRs in ~2012 because now that I have mirrorless camera it would have been much more usable. Nice video. :)
Dope setup!!! Love it 🔥
Great video. There are some old lenses I really love because they have personality. Thanks for sharing!
Great video! Keep up the unusual and unique reviews. Also, this gives those of us who cannot afford all the new glass, a chance to experiment around without breaking the bank.
The setup looks really nice, simple but pretty !
supper fun for lots of lens! display and review, I always watch your video review. well done!
Thank you for this video! I have the Chinon 200mm laying around and now I know what to do with it :)
These look fantastic. M42 mount I can use on my old Zenit SLR too.
great timing Ive been searching for vintage 135mm!
Crispy crisp 😍 Love the vibe of the video! Just subscribe 😍😍😍
This video couldn’t have come in a more perfect time! Could you also share what you use to place your lenses in? Like the case you used in the video when you opened it and those lenses were inside?
Thanks Jacob! I've been working on this collection for sometime now, found the 50mm f1.7 for $10 at a antique store, and the 135 f2.8 for $35 at another. After seeing this video I'll continue to look for the rest...happy hunting.
Funny timing was legit just searching around for Cine lenses, vintage and affordable. Long time sub...great stuff dude
weird how that happens!
Thank you Dawwal!
Yo! Can you guys share the .obj file for the 3d printed gears?! I def wanna print some out for these bad boys!!
Thanks for the great recommendation! What do you think of the Helios 44-2 58mm?
Any chance you can give us a link to gears for these lenses??? I have everything I need apart from the gears! Also can I declick these lenses? Thanks
Incredible. Well done!
To everyone saying prices were way higher, they are DOWN again. Not AS low but I just got the 135mm, 1 50mm, 35mm and 28mm for $280 shipped. I did have to buy 2 different adapters for about $60 bucks, but 4 for just over $300 feels pretty nice! Thanks for the tip!
Looking like Unbox Therapy tbh haha looks nice tho
Chinoismedia more like D2D Dave Lee standing desk
That is exactly how I felt. If this was a step and a half brighter it'd be the exact same.
Unbox Therapy shoots more ultra wide angle.
UT is also a scam artist
@@zacharybohlman4069 No he's not! I am!
Recently got a M42 adapter for my A7r3, had some 50 1.8 a 135 and a 28 laying around. Works fine! (diff. brand)
Cison are great lenses also. I have a few that were made for Pentax K mount, and M42. I have added adapters for my Canon EF mount. Works great. Just be sure to remove the aperture control arm sticking out the back. Thanks for your video.
New lighting set-up looks great.
Thank you for sharing this set of lenses. They are super affordable. Just would like to know is it possible to share the 3D models for the focus gear you used on those lenses?
I have a 3d printer as well. Would love not only to see your files for that, but an episode on that whole workflow would be awesome!
Great video, between eBay and Etsy I found:
28mm 2.8
35mm 2.8 1:2.8
50mm 1:2
55mm 1.7
200mm 3.5
Total $219.05 (including shipping and tax)
FotodioX Mount Adapter for M42 Lens to Micro Four Thirds Camera B&H $10.36
Oh wow! Great price!
@@dslrvideoshooter Have you ever checked out - www.etsy.com
Thanks for the great review and find. Could you do a test of these lenses on the GH5
Always good to see a reviewer looking other alternatives. Thanks Caleb! Oh well... it seems every time you release these product reviews, the price goes up though...
I have been collecting vintage glass for awhile, amazingly from garage sales and flea markets. They have a distinctive look I feel that modern lenses don’t.
It’s a great way to go. Ebay is hit and miss for condition, but a big thing to check besides scratches, internal contamination, fungus and haze, is play in the focus ring and the iris ring. Allot of these vintage 35mm format lenses can have some wear and play in the focus that makes the image shift as you make adjustments. So run it through its paces and make sure everything is good before you permanently make it part of your kit. Might need to go through a few copies before you find a good one.
Super novice question but how can I tell the difference between the M42 mount and the PK mount? Is it mentioned on the lens itself?
Caleb do you have any video talking about zoom lenses? I usually default to using primes but have been interested in getting something I can keep on my camera without switching lenses as often for run and gun scenarios.
Reminds me of your firsts videos which I used to watch on vimeo sometimes If I recall correctly. Looks clean and cool.
Dude, do you have plans for the gear wheels? I'm gonna try and get some printed with a friend, but I need the specs.
I like the way you have given this vintage glass a consistent look by using the step up rings and focusing gears, very clever!
I shoot on GH5, G9 and S5 FF.
My go to and favorite vintage glass includes; SMC Pentax 50mm f1.4,
Canon FDL 50mm f1.8, Nikkor 105mm f2.5, Canon FDL 70~210 f4 and the Fujinon 55mm f1.8. The highlight roll off and micro contrast as well as color rendition produces FILMIC quality images which modern glass just does not give. And I have the excellent Leica 10~25mm f1.7 beast!
LIKED and SUBED 👍
Hey Caleb, Thanks for this great video. I just did some searching and found a Chinon CE-4 35mm camera with a 50mm 1.9 + 28mm 2.8 + 135mm 2.8 - all for $49.99 on Etsy!!! OMG what a score! :)
I own the 28 and I love it. It's sharp wide open and the color are good and warm. My is softer at 2.8 and the right side is muddy maybe off center but I love it 🥰🥰 Easy to focus so go for it. I got mine for around 22€
dude, at first I thought I clicked on an UnboxTherapy video by mistake
I definitely see it now too!
Same
Underrated comment
great video caleb ! never heard of chinon before.. how would you compare them to old zeiss jena/sonnar lenses? keep up the good work :)
Can you add links to the stepup rings and the link to the 3d printed files you used for the gears in the description? Thanks.
Do you have a sharable file or link for the focus rings? I am interested in printing some at the local Maker's lab. Thanks!
great info my g!
What i need to put on my ef mount?
Combos with complete (or mostly) lens sets are some the best deals because buyers are largely seeking out individual lenses to fill a gap in their set. You can often buy a package with a one highly desirable lens for less than it sells on it's own, and the other lenses can than be sold to pay for the pick of the litter.
What's a good lens mount and adapter / speedbooster to choose for use on the BMPCC4K?
I like your other backdrop setups with items in the back. Way more interesting. Will you release a video testing these on the GH5s with a speedbooster?
I noticed your in rockford IL I did a photoshoot at that coffee shop thats randomly awesome!
Nice video, thanks for making it! One of the things that distinguishes lenses for me is how to they are able in coping with strong backlighting: are they able to retain colors, nuances and such. For instance, my Nikon AF-D 50mm with a planar lens design is on the one hand a steal for use indoors, but a nightmare when using outside. It literally shows no contrast whatsoever when shooting in harsh sunlight (and I live in the Netherlands, where there is not so much sun, mind you).
I really like the lighting😃 I think the darker set was causing some banding due to the RUclips compression methods. REALLY good attitude of you to take feedback from the comments and improve your quality!!!
Nice vid! I discovered a couple vintage FD's in my buddy's closet, got a $20 adapter, and I just added three lenses to my kit! (I don't think he's caught on yet lol) They've got problems, of course - chromatic aberration is pretty blatant when using the 50mm f1.4 wide open, but stopping down to f2.8 eliminates that. Sometimes I use it wide open anyways, it gives a sort of bloom to the already low-contrast look of the footage, which is really cool in certain situations.
As for thoughts on the setup: I thought it was a little bland, maybe add a little color here and there? might make it a little more eye-catching. I love the channel tho, hope you're well :)
what meta bones or speed booster would i need to get for these lens to work on a Black magic
Long time viewer, first time commenter: What lens adapter would I need to use this for the Fuji x-t3? Your videos keep getting better and better. Keep it up buddy!
This is fantastic
Hey Caleb!
Out of curiosity; If you would pick between the Chinon 35 and the fujian 35mm for an apsc sensor, which would you pic? Which is sharper?
Love your vids man! Keep it up! And all the best!
dont suppose you have a download link to the 3d model for those gears?
with they support on bmp4k?
With a M42/PK to MFT adapter, yes.. Keep in mind that they are manual, photo oriented lenses, so the follow focus ring, declicked aperture etc needs to be done if you want those fancy goodies
@@vaidehiarts can you provide a link to adapters that will fit these lenses to the BMP 4K?
@@richardweddle3408 just google it.
Thanks for the tip brother. I just order mines. What mount did you use for your Sony
Might be a bit off topic, but is there a chance you can cover in a future video the process of 3D printing your focus rings? I just got a printer myself, but I found your use of it brilliant! Thank you in advance, great video, and fantastic lenses covered here!
Hey ! I'm looking for the same thing, did you got some info ? :)
New lighting looks great
Hey Caleb! I’m having an issue with my m42 to EF adapters (Fotodiox Pro V2 and generics) They have too much play when used on my .64 Metabones speedbooster. (Can’t touch the lens or use a motor on it because the image being jolted is so noticeable) Native Canon fit snug and great! Any new reasonably priced adapter recommendations ?
I'd be curious to see some comparison shots between these lenses and the modern Canon, Sigma, or Sony lenses that you might have.
tnx for the video ! i have 28mm 2.8 auto Chinon lens. it‚s great !
Fantastic find! Any method to mount them onto a mft cam like lumix gh5?
Mind sharing what tripod/monopod that is??
