It would have been perfect if they'd had the 6-bit contact on the Z mount (like the voightlander), it makes it easier to focus on the Nikon Zf with the squares turning green and it allows you to be quick without having to zoom into the image to confirm focus.
I bought that lens. The photo quality was actually very good. But I really disliked that infinity lock button especially since it was not focused at infinity, I had to always change my focus. Plus there was heavy vignetting. It was correctable in post but it was the most of any lens I have ever shot with. That said, those problems could have been because I was adapting it to a Sony camera. I ended up returning it. As for vintage style lenses I have found that Light Lens Lab makes some great lenses but they are more expensive.
I do personally find infinity locks useful when removing bayonet lenses from my M-mount cameras. The lenses without infinity locks or poorly-locking ones are annoying to twist off without a good grip.
Part of why I’m not super keen on the ZF is the weird juxtaposition of a retro body but 99% of their lenses looking “modern” and ugly imo. The ZF body is super pretty but they really need lens support for it if they want that fujifilm $$$
Kinda agree. Personally think the lenses go pretty okay since they are all black but yes they are clinically boring looking. When I do care about the look, I slap in my new voight 50 f1. Looks amazing
Maybe if you'd made a community post at any time in the past FIVE YEARS RUclips wouldn't hate your channel so much. That and subtitles. The captions have no idea what Lok is saying, so therefore RUclips doesn't know what happens in your video, so it won't push it.
Cheap. That's all we can say for sure. Let's check back in 10 years and see how they are holding up. Who knows the quality of the helicoid grease etc etc.
True, but the particular vintage lens you're looking for might not be available at the moment you want it. Or at a ridiculous price. Or in a good enough state.
Kai is wearing his Asian tourist disguise today.
is he wearing lipstick?
Sandals. And tending goldfish.
Who else is jealous of Kai's sense of style ?
Pattern on pattern?
nah
Every time you say “Infinity Lok”, I think of Lok in a Buzz Lightyear outfit.
Kai lookin like he just smuggled some dinosaur DNA outta Jurassic Park.

Thigh-pok is supposedly coming out with a non infinity locked version pretty soon
I'm sticking with the Voigtlander. And the Zeiss.
I like the bokeh bois have matching fiats
Cameras and Trunks! Love this series!
My favorite thing is to use any lenses that is compatible. A pricey addiction but I can't help myself in trying out different lenses/filters

If that infinity lock locks at precisely infinity, it would be a great taking lens for an anamorphic adapter.
Will you ever do the camera tricks you use to do?
We offer up some drone footage! Too good, love y’all

Carl Zeiss & SMC Pentax. The cheap digital DC 202, 37mm. : )
killer party shirt Kai
Thypoch, the lesser known Lannister.
Hey Tim from STORM! 5:37

Sunsurf shirt goes hard
Can you try
Minolta New MD 50mm 1.7
the late version
Kai it's been years, can you please just scream BOKEH
Very nice and entertaining video
is the lens coupled beyond 0.7m?
Leica can only range finder focus to 0.7 anything under and it’s live view
What shirt is that Kai? lol
Cheap. That's all we can say for sure. Let's check back in 10 years and see how they are holding up. Who knows the quality of the helicoid grease etc etc.
It's cloudy in London, why does Kai have sunglasses on? Hiding a shiner?
You have sense of style... 😉
Nothing wrong with second hand Leica lenses, unless of course there's something wrong with it.
We don't say " old lenses" in the business we say "geezer glass"
Kai's shades are so small he looks like a Ditto pretending to be Kai.
People there really need to learn how to clean up after themselves...
Nice
ok Lok might be Lolicon
Bring back Alamby
4:27 That's what she said.
I just do not get those buying a very expensive Camera and then mount very cheap lenses !!!
Is that the Church where John Wick 4 had it's finale?
Why are all my favorite RUclips photographers promoting AI shit? I’m so tired of this.
It’s time to unsubscribe maybe? I was thinking this too after this episode
@@JoenelDragos Absolutely! I'm unsubscribing to everyone I see using and/or promoting gen ai.
The locks on the stairway rails are the absolute worst. There are a lot of morons out there.
why buy this when you can pick up vintage Nikon glass for less

my fav asian g*y couple
1st
the 28 and 35 Thypoch is the most ugly looking lenses for 2024. love the 50 design though.
bro get to the point! 80% of your videos is a reality tv show. all we care about is your review of the lens.
This isn’t the channel for you
Just go buy a cheap industar, the real deal ok? A helios, maybe some german tessar. Still cheap, still fake.
