kidzrevil Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 are you still looking at the milvus?actually bought the 35mm f2 and 50mm f1.4 milvus ! Waiting for it to come in the mail. Had to make sure it has no issues adapting to Canon as I might get the 5d mark iii as a second camera or go all out and get the 21mm and 85mm milvus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 actually bought the 35mm f2 and 50mm f1.4 milvus ! Waiting for it to come in the mail nice. i love 35mm f2 lenses. my 35mm f2 Takumar came in today. I got a couple minutes with it and it's an awesome little lens, obviously not in the same league as the milvus, but cool nonetheless.

Digital sensors and film are completely different by design and we have to account for that. If i wasnt shooting an nx1 i'd def try the contax glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRenaissanceMan Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hey guys! Is anyone here knowledgeable about the Olympus OM lens lineup? I'm looking to put together a budget set, but what little information I can find is vague and, in some cases, contradictory. Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm looking to put together a budget set, but what little information I can find is vague and, in some cases, contradictory. Thanks in advance for any help. I have a little first hand knowledge. I have the 50mm 1.8 and the 28mm 3.5. They are both decent little lenses. Although I never tried it, I know the 50mm 1.4 is highly regarded for video. That vintage lenses for video guy has a few videos covering and featuring that lens. On the wide end, the 28mm f2 is supposed to be great. I've even read a few claims on some forums that it is one of the best 28mm lenses ever made. Good news is that most of their lenses can be had cheap. Even the 28mm f2 can be had for less than 200 bucks. TheRenaissanceMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted February 3, 2016 Super Members Share Posted February 3, 2016 Finally had time to pick up the 35mm from the post office.Had a quick play on the BMCC and I like what I see. Very clean bokeh balls.Also really like the build, which I normaly dont on old Nikkors. But this had a nice solid feel. mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every old nikkor I ever bought has a real dry focus ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestar_kevin Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Nice Mattias! I used to own one of those, I liked the build and focus ring.Have the AIS 35 1.4 now and it's great, but I do like the longer focus throw on the older one.Hey guys! Is anyone here knowledgeable about the Olympus OM lens lineup? I'm looking to put together a budget set, but what little information I can find is vague and, in some cases, contradictory. Thanks in advance for any help. I have owned the 28 3.5 and 50 1.8/50 1.4 at various points and they're pretty great.Very small lenses. Front aperture ring is a bid odd.The colors from the lenses are awesome. Love the coating on the Zuiko lenses.They're still cheap too. I definitely want to pick up a basic kit for myself to keep.They have a lot of macro lenses available for an older line up.

BrorSvensson Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 has anyone tried the slr magic t1.1? seems like real bargain, and f1 lens for 350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercer Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 So, I came across a 35mm f2 RMC Tokina m42 lens on eBay today that I never knew existed. It was a little pricy, but I thought I would never find another one, so I jumped on it. Anybody have any experience with it?I figured it would pair nicely with my RMC 17mm and 25-50mm.

Felt like I was cheating myself using the other lenses after seeing these ! Its jpgs edited in vsco it aint even the raw stills ! And yeah its san diego zoo I love doing my cam tests there ! only thing about these lenses are they are HEAVY. Scared I will damage the NX mount. I may send em back to get the canon mount versions instead in case I do end up getting a canon body. So far so good though the lenses really bring out the detail in the sensor, cant wait to see the video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some weird reason i am not seeing the same sharpening artifacts i got with my other lenses in the nx1 video. Think my theory is correct about the body. Anywho im for sure sticking with these lenses just probably in a different mount. may need to go to the 5d and use the ef mount version. Strong feeling they are too heavy for the nx mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong feeling they are too heavy for the nx mount So the Nikon version is clickless but the canon version isn't? Weird. So, wait... You're gonna get the Ef version and use them on the 5d but not the NX? What will you use with the NX1? Speaking of 5D, have you seen Volker Schmidt's 5D Raw videos? They look great. I think he has one posted on your film grain thread. kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
