Got all of them in absolute mint condition for a good price used. Will work on any mirrorless camera for video as well. The best part, besides the excellent image is the very nice build quality and smooth focus, with tabs on all but the 50mm. Very pancakish. Is the m8 full frame?

The M9, M, M-E, etc, or in other words, the rest of them are full frame. BrorSvensson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRenaissanceMan Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 So glad to see they're working for you! I always suspected they'd pair well with the NX1 sensor. I plan to build an MM set once I clear out some space in the gear closet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Great stuff kidsrevil. Sorry to go against your name with this one, grab from a quick film parody I shot yesterday. Voigtlander 20mm 3.5. Color is right off the NX1, just added some grain. PannySVHS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kieley Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Just got the set of 3 Kiev16u lenses that are common on ebay. I love the 20mm and 50mm lenses, but the 12mm is horrible. I don't know if it's my copy or what, but it doesn't even begin to match the sharpness of the other lenses until like f/5.6. And the vignette is awful too. I wouldn't mind a little bit in each corner that I could just slightly crop out, but this is just one broad curve in the top left. But that Vega 20mm is great. I'm loving the look of it so far.

Vivid ? Looks good ! How do you feel about shooting with slower lenses on the NX1 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Vivid -2 Saturation +6 Black Level. It really is a far superior image than shooting in a fake flat profile by lowering contrast. Love shooting with the lower apertures in decent light. Also wider lenses shine, and also help with RS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shot a couple of stills for a client and it came out pretty dope It's less about resolution than a slightly different rendering. MMs are a bit cleaner, crisper, more modern. They flare much less and lack the distinctive AE "ninja stars." If I want something smother and more vintage, I'll throw on Minoltas/Leica Rs. For a more modern look and something I can use for commercial work, I'll reach for the Zeiss set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzrevil Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I really wanted those Leica R's after talking to you man...I was on ebay looking for a 35mm and literally laughed out loud.

But the faster, rarer glass will break the bank. My current plan is to forgo Leicas and pair my Zeiss set with fast Minolta MCs, which I can then convert to EF mount. It depends what camera I get next-- only the Leicas will work on Nikon, and I can avoid paying $150 per lens to convert the Minoltas if I stick with mirrorless mount cameras. kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minolta developed a few of the Leica lenses, I believe. The Leica 35-70 costs £££'s but the Minolta 35-70 equivalent only costs ££'s. I think the Elmarit 28mm was also developed by Minolta. I don't know if the Leica versions have different coatings to their Minolta equivalents though. It would be interesting to see how close the Leica and Minolta lenses are in use.

It's the 35-70, 24mm 2.8, and 500mm mirror lens that were licensed by Leica. The coatings do differ between the two, and some claim a build quality advantage for the Leicas. I can't speak to the veracity of that. I'd love to see a comparison between the best Leica and Minolta glass. My guess is that the Minoltas would hold up rather well, but lose out a bit in resolving power/microcontrast. They do match perfectly for color and contrast though, which matters more for video shooters. DevonChris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freaking great color! 20mm- beautiful FOV, if one knows how to use it! What Fstop did you shoot this with, 3.5? won an auction for the Canon 20mm nFD for 220 USD. Kinda worried now, because manual focus on the 28mm FD is very tricky from 3m to infinity, focus throw tinely short between these two marks, so focus can easily to be off.

If anyone has the novoflex one I will buy it off of you I use Fotasy for pretty much all my lens adapters, they're cheap and they've always worked great for me, that's what I use my c/y lens with on my nx cameras. From what I hear, cheap, crappy adapters can sometimes screw up infinity focus but I've never had a problem with any of mine. Frankly I don't see the need to spend more than $10 or $20 on any adapter really.http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xfotasy+c%2Fy+to+nx.TRS0&_nkw=fotasy+c%2Fy+to+nx&_sacat=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzrevil Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 @parker I am using a fotasy and the lens wont lock in place the right way, you can feel the lens slipping in the mount when you rotate the focus. Think I should order another one or are you having that problem as well ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
