    The swirly characteristic on macro shots really gives us a clue, more than that I wouldn't able to tell the differences.
    But again, story is a king and should be our top priority, plus a good lighting setup will be far more useful rather than one piece of expensive glass especially for starters 😊

  • @seanmullin1393

    Hey Mathieu, great content again! I honestly thought that the $5 lens at points had better artistic quality for some things. The Egg shot looked much better IMO with the inexpensive lens. Of course there are other considerations. The larger lens allows for the follow focus to be more granular due to the larger width of the lens; the Cine lens also was T2 which at times can be invaluable. So overall I liked your final say, it depends. Recommendation: A short series on how to clean vintage lenses, tools required, etc. Keep up the good work.

    The swirly bokeh of the vintage Revuenon was very pleasing indeed and gave away many of the 5$ shots. The vintage lens gets my pick. Nice video, thanks.

  • @MrShanePhoto

    The cheaper lens is incredible for the price. And it has a very stylised look and feel. Definitely the option for someone wanting to start in macro photography. Or for a project that needs very unique look.

    @kruno7150 6 месяцев назад +3

    Enna (rebranded as Revuneon in this case) had amazing lenses, unfortunately they went downsides with plastic-fantastic bodies (while keeping amazing optics). But, regardless, $5 even with the haze, is a steal

  • @bramverhees755

    I could actually differentiate most of the footage, but not in a way that I would classify as best or worst. I probably prefer the softer look of the vintage glass.

  • @anecro
    @anecro 6 месяцев назад

    Vintage lenses are a serious hack in the photography space few people focus on. I bought a Topman 75-200mm (MC version) and it's so fucking sharp and consistent it's left me speechless. It has built in macro capabilities and it's a consistent minimum f/3.5 throughout the zoom range.
    That thing cost 50€. Imagine how much I'd have to spend for something like that in modern terms. There are 2 negatives with this lens and it's the lower contrast and chromatic aberration, both of which can be corrected or at least improved digitally.

  • @BariumCobaltNitrog3n
    @BariumCobaltNitrog3n 6 месяцев назад

    There are probably 50 lenses between these two. Buying a slightly aging premium lens is a good investment. That's the best part of progress, it makes nice things cheaper.

  • @alexlindstrom9971
    @alexlindstrom9971 6 месяцев назад +26

    The lens costs a minimum of $75 for poor copies on eBay and goes up fast. Not particularly relevant to a wide audience that you got it for $5 at a yard sale, not should anyone think of it as a '$5 lens.' They still often cost roughly as much as many Helios copies.

      75 dollars is a 20 pack carton of cigarettes in Canada..or a pair of new jeans. 1000 is a months rent in a basement...in a small City..or a Harry Potter understair closet in Vancouver..big difference..

    Those spanner wrench tools are dangerous, an accident with scratches to the lens would sooner or later happen. Rubber pads in different sizes are much safer and a better tool.
