Julian Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 F-stops measured in Japan Nice review! Those cheap c-mount lenses are fun indeed.Since GH4 is in the title of your video I was a bit disappointed not seeing any GH4 footage though. I'd expect it will give quite some vignetting, even in 4K mode.I have a Cosmicar Television 12,5mm f/1.8 (C-mount), works ok-ish in 4K mode on the GH4, corners get pretty soft though.

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted June 10, 2015 Author Super Members Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm curious about that Bolex. What's your take?Haven't had that much time to use it yet. And haven't used it for a serious gig yet. But. Basically it's my Favorite camera of all time. Liam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricardo_sousa11 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 You have an NX1, right ? Can you try it out with the NX1 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted June 10, 2015 Author Super Members Share Posted June 10, 2015 You have an NX1, right ? Can you try it out with the NX1 ?The flange is to long on NX. No such adapter without optical element.Would also vignette quite badly. It probably would have covered the NX500s crop pretty good if such an adapter existed.

Do you have other vintage/cheap lenses that work with the NX1 ? What do you recomend ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have other vintage/cheap lenses that work with the NX1 ? What do you recomend ?!Plenty.I have a super sharp $10 Yashica 50mm f1.9. Works great on the NX1. Here is a 4K sample. Also the Zeiss 50mm and Tokina 24mm in this goes on the NX and cost less than $20. This would also work. Bought it twice, both times for less than $15.

mercer Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 What's nice about that yashinon, is that it looks pretty good right out of the box. If you need a quick turnaround time, that is a nice lens to have. The color and contrast are well balanced. Mattias Burling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
