ah I see, they've got now a 35mm, 50mm, and an 85mm that's cheaper than anything else at the moment for L Mount: https://meikeglobal.com/collections/auto-focus-lenses/products/3520?variant=45550769307876 https://meikeglobal.com/collections/auto-focus-lenses/products/50mm-f1-8-auto-focus-lens-for-portrait-photography?variant=45396236108004 https://meikeglobal.com/collections/auto-focus-lenses/products/85mm-f1-8-full-frame-auto-focus-stm-lens-for-sony-e-mount-cameras?variant=45493148614884 Like @newfoundmass said, they're not on major sites such as B&H yet. But give it another 18 months, for the prices of a secondhand Panasonic S9 to come down then this (plus perhaps the kit zoom too) could be a very appealing everyday casual camera on the cheap. -
ohhhhh.... I'd never even looked into those lenses. (how should I search for them on eBay? How do I specifically restrict the search just to half frame rangerfinder lenses?) I guess due to them being rangefinder lenses, they must not have been too popular during the DSLR era at all. (as DSLR mounts are too deep) And being half frame lenses I guess the mirrorless FF shooters don't want them either. Would be perfect however for Fujifilm shooters. Only just starting lately to dabble in using my old Fujifilm X-A3 as a casual stills camera I can carry with me most times whenever I feel like it (I want something compact / light / cheap / decent, I think the X-A3 with APS-C lenses fits the bill here). So thus I recently put together a very cheap Fujifilm lens kit of native X mount lenses: 7artisans 12mm F2.8 II (Manual Focus) Sirui 21mm f1.2 (Auto Focus) TTArtisan 25mm f2 (Manual Focus) Vivitar 56mm f1.7 (Auto Focus) (I half wonder if the 21mm f1.2 lens was a mistake, was using it for the first time on Christmas Eve, and it was a lot bigger and heavier than I imagined! Perhaps a bit too much so for the little X-A3? Maybe I should have got the TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8 lens instead)

There’s also still a couple LUMIX S9 bodies on the Japanese auction sites I frequent. Good deal, open box for around $925 after the 10% off sale. It was tough to choose between the X-M5 and the S9. The S9 feels like a really good buy if you get it below $1,000. I want to play around with the X-M5 though and figure they may end up becoming hard to find where as the S9 will probably be available cheap in the coming months. The only thing I’m wondering about is the lack of IBIS on the Fuji so we’ll see how it handles. If I don’t like it I’ll sell it and get the S9. -
75% Film stuff and 25% photos is my norm. I have 0 native Fuji lenses but have the Kipon M42 - X speedbooster as well as the Konica - X adapter also the Minolta AF - X adapter so I have a lot of my vintage glass needs met. Metabones makes a Minolta AF - X speedbooster but it’s pricey at $450. Still… I have the whole set from 16mm - 200mm and it’s really amazing glass. I’ll get a few native lenses for autofocus but probably just a couple wides. What I’m most excited about is the Blazer Nero 1.5x Anamorphic adapter which looks great on APS-C and will be a perfect match to the 6.2k open gate raw. That’s a monster of an image for the price. I also have a whole set of 1960’s Yashica and Mamiya rangefinder lenses that I’m slowly converting to Mirrorless. A few of them were “half frame” lenses that shot two images per 35mm frame. These fit APS-C perfectly and are nice F/1.4 lenses. So yeah, lots of options LOL. what are your favorite Fuji X lenses? I’ve heard great things about the 16mm and older 35mm f/1.4.

First you might like to watch this video on Mr Beast's youtube channel, so you get to see what the end result looks like: Then check out the behind the scenes, of how it got made: Check out the camera plan (well, one of the camera plans) they show thirteen minutes into it (yes, that's one THOUSAND GoPros): Two more BTS videos about this same YouTuber production series:
