To get in focus with manual focusing lens of moving subjects/persons/aminals you prefocus at a point where you expect them to pass and just wait for the right moment 🙂 Just a little tip from an old scool photographer 😉
''lets just shoot this on the alexa''
Really
When using manual focus lenses I switch to black and white. With focus peaking in red against black and white… nails focus. Of course the raw is still in color/colour for postprocessing.
OMG a vintage Nikon lens is good! who would have ever thought!!!
So we're all just gonna pretend like we didn't see him fake selfie hold that Alexa Redcam throughout the video?
How bad are the A7 series cameras with focus peaking and manual lenses?
Nice! I use the same lens on my Nikon F2!
Shooting manul lens is not new for me cuz im currently using nikon 50mm 1.8 D lens which is manual lens on nikon D5600
I love you baby! Manual lenses are harder to focus, but if you've grown up with all manual cameras, it's no issue. If you can get some manual Minolta lenses, try them out. They are very close to Leica quality.
When irritating hipster fuck wits discover classic gear, eurgh.
I love vintage lenses. I shoot with 2 Yashica lenses and 2 Ricoh lenses(m42 screw mount) and I use them on my Sony a6000. Absolutely love the way they look. The old lenses have such a unique look to them and I love it. Also after a while manual focusing all the time becomes easy. I actually can get a lot of shots in focus. You do have to slow the pace a little though. Can't just go around firing shots without even looking at them. Takes some time
I actually love how Natasha's overalls match the photo booth so well
Last shot of the women by the photo booth was the best one, so some great proof that it pays to step out of your comfort zone
Try the Helios that lens is insane. This is just regular
Funfact: almost a year ago, i bought a canon fd 28mm f. 2.8 for about 60€. A few weeks ago i've seen this exact lens for 200€… I mean i only use this lens but i'm starting to think about selling it 😂
Liam, the reason it doesn’t zoom in cos it doesn’t have the electronic contacts like the the Manual Zeiss lenses which allows it zoom in automatically
Get the Techart Pro autofocus adapter and it will make all your vintage lens autofocus
Can't be the only one who thought of Daniel Ricciardo
someone need to teach this dude zone focusing
If you want to manually focus there is another way to do it. Set the focus distance you want then move towards or away from subject to acquire focus!.
Or use a hyperfocal distance calculator & open that aperture!
