In this crazy experiment we push the limits of lens speed by modding a camera to fit a massive Zeiss Biotar f0.73 lens. Along the way, we are going to take you to the dark side of the moon the realm of the legendary Zeiss Planar f0.7 lens and explain how it helped Staley Kubrick to shot Barry Lyndon in candlelight. We are going to go to the basics to explore the possibilities and to expose the limitations of ultrafast lenses. We look into the possibilities that you have to shoot ultrafast yourself, and what budget options there are. Here we test the Kipon Ibelux 40mm f0.85, the SLR Magic 25mm T0.95… and we boost a Vintage Canon FD f1.2 below f1. We compare shooting ultrafast lenses with shooting at high ISO and of course… using both in combination. Special thanks to Lyndon Gaul and the Marmalade for partnering with us.

Can it focus to infinity? (It will not be to pretty)
You can use this formula to calculate the required flange:
Maximum focus distance = FL x (FL - BF + CF)/(CF - BF)
FL = focal length of lens
BF = back focal distance of lens (from rear of lens mount to image plane)
CF = camera flange distance (look up for your particular camera)

@@MediaDivision that makes perfect sense. It would be actually impossible to deliver this kind of specialized and polished content daily (not even weekly) and if it helps to catch the attention of your target clients then having 80k or 8m isn't a big deal.

This reminds me of some of the great documentaries I watched as a boy, pieces that had irreverence, humor, and style to boot. Masterful & meaningful, especially right now.

I just wanted to say you are an inspiration. Your episode on the "legendary ziess super speeds" took me on an adventure that changed my life. I was so impressed with your delivery and cinematography that i decided to sell all my sony camera gear and lenes and buy an s1h (which was all i could afford) and get a friend to loan me like $300 so i could buy a used zeiss 1.4 35mm contax. All my "camera" friends in my wechat group called me stupid "why the fuck would you tank all your money into an s1h and buy some shit old lens..." all their expertise told them i should buy premium glass..... But I knew in my bones you are the kind of guy that i should listen to .... you dont just shoot images ... you MAKE them... just like Kubrick The images I have been able to produce blow me away some times... especially since i am a total noob and just started with cameras like 6 months ago (bought my sony a6400 for twitch streaming (gave up video games for cinematography and porn) I dont think you are the kinda guy who would mind... but just to warn you I make adult movies with my wife. Not that I love making porn.. but its the only way to learn cinematography and make money. I Don't hate it either.... just would rather be telling stories.... look me up on PHUB if you want "Zentai Fantasy" Pornhub will be paying me soon and i will have enough to support you by joining the membership!!!!

Hey Zen, sorry for the late response, YT put your comment in spam. Super happy that we can do that for you... this is the way. Ironically, the Zeiss Super Speed episode was predominantly shot on A Kinefinity Mavo LF... and that has a Sony sensor, just like the S1H does. It is really about how you film what, and little about the gear. Vintage lenses wide open have their magic, though. I don't mind porn..... that is some pretty weired stuff you do there.... but I get that you strive for more. Even the fetish genre will always be kind of one dimensional... there is little story to tell when people are f#*@ink. You are a lucky man that your wife supports you in your passion (all of them). Good luck on your journey man.

I rarely comment on KZfaq, but you guys totally deserve attention for the overall quality displayed in this video. Thank you, really! Just one thing is not so clear to me - probably I should rewatch some specific parts of the video: how did Kubrick manage to obtain such a deep Depth of Field in the candle sequence, filming at f0.7? Did he actually stopped down the lens? It is clear to my eyes that your result at f0.7 has a much shallower DoF. Sorry in advance for the probable dumb question, and thanks again for this production of yours. I am gonna share it with all my friends and colleagues. Amazing!!

@MediaDivision 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks a lot Riccardo...totally our pleasure. No, he shot at f0.7... it was the whole point and otherwise it would have been impossible using 100iso film stock. The DoF is indeed very narrow. The trick is to compose the scene in a way, to keep all important things on the same focal plane. The difference to out "The Mission" film is, that we used a 100mm lens (instead of a 50mm) and we had a full frame sensor instead of s35 film... resulting in a much deeper DoF.One thing besides the speed is, that the Biotar that we used has a slightly bend focal plane... it works like a light tilt shift on top of the narrow FoV. That was not a dumb question and we always appreciate viewers that really dig in deep!

@MediaDivision 3 жыл бұрын

Glad you found us… and thank you so much for support us by being a Lynch member. Appreciated… you will make the future episodes possible. Well, we already have a video about medium format lenses for filming with the Mamiya 645 and the Kipon focal reducer. While the image Circle of the 645 is slightly smaller and the booster goes down to FF, the principles remain the same. It is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNqfm92YudOZfKM.html The Hasselblad V system is a 6x6 medium format (slightly smaller than IMAX but yes, bigger that 65mm 5-perf), but of course… you will cropping away a lot of the image to get to something like 16:9 or another suitable aspect for film. I don't quite know what you expect from that system. I don't want to pop a bubble, but a larger format does not have an intrinsically different look than a smaller one. Your boosted system using a 80mm @f2.8 will generate the same image that you will get using a 44mm @f1.5. The GFX has a very high resolution, but that is not intrinsic to the large format and I have smaller format cameras that have more resolution than larger format ones. In times of Apollo, it was just the best way to achieve high resolution images allowing higher magnifications. If you want to see how a camera with a large format sensor twice the size of IMAX and a whooping 200 Megapixel would look… we emulate one right here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pa-YdtyBxqq0Zps.html

(50kg used to be the limit).. and there are already many multi-axis stabilizer which can make the drone moving really super smoothly and steady.. the only problem is really the lens.. though there are already the multi-spectrum camera that can capture light beyond visible light spectrum, however it requires AI to recolor it in the post-processing, which takes really a lot of time and effort.. and most filmmakers still prefer to see with the feeling of "natural light".. another effect that ultra fast lenses can do but multi-spectrum camera can't replace is that supper thin foreground.. which can put the main object into the subject and eliminate the background all "naturally".. no other solution than ultra fast lenses will be able to deliver such effect "naturally"..

@@MediaDivision - Great work! I tested an FD 55mm f/1.2 SSC and it is 4k resolution across the full frame wide open. The speed booster still enables 4k (~2k LW/PH) with slight degradation (and slight curvature of focal plane). I also have an observation and question: In your video, the SLR Magic 25mm images at f/0.92 look darker than the Ibelux 40mm images set to f/1.4 and the so does the Canon FD 55mm f/1.2+speed booster at f/0.90 which looks even darker than either of these. What was your shutter speed for each of these tests?

@MediaDivision 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks… lenses can have different brightness at the same f-stop … that is why T-stop was invented for cinema. T (transmission) is what effectively comes through the entrance pupil. Coatings and the number of lens elements are relevant for this… especially in vintage lenses. Of course a FF lens can easily handle 4K…. or 8K… or more depending on the amount of light and the f-stop used. If you watch our „beyond imax“ episode we show how a old large format lens is able to resolve 16k without breaking in sweat. The limiting factor of resolution in an optical system is the „nyquist effect“.

@churchrapture 3 жыл бұрын

@@MediaDivision - Thanks for replying! Right, the Nyquist frequency is the limiting effect in any resolving signals in any wave. But do you know what the shutter speeds were in those fast lens comparisons? Could the darkness difference between lenses be from different shutter speeds? Also, I don't find that many lenses, vintage or modern, can resolve 4k full frame to the edges like the FD 55mm f/1.2 can. It does have the dreamy and lower contrast effect also wide open that can make it appear to be soft yet it does actually resolve the detail. However, I was mainly trying to see if you were doing a technical comparison of the fast lenses or maybe you were not trying to document the shutter speed. In any case your work extremely awesome and full of details that are very interesting and informative! Great work and God bless!

@MediaDivision 3 жыл бұрын

In filmmaking we „always“ use a 180 degree shutter… unless there is a very good reason not to. At 24 FPS that is 1/48th of a second in all the given cases. So, no. Of course shooting wide open will cause loss in detail to a point where resolution doesn’t matter in that regard. If you are interested, we have whole episode about the FD including the 55 SSC and it’s improved sibling, the 55 SSC aspherical (reduced fringing) on the channel. Thank for the flowers.

Canon has produced one that the glass is actually good but its no easy to find and its quite expensive. So, all of the "ghosting" effect and the lack of sharpness is mostly due that.

After watching this magnific work of video, my 45mm f0.95 seems like a slow lens... but, even being manual focus, also looks more practical and far easy to use! Thanks fot this masterpiece of production! I saw it 3 years ago and now found it again between favorite videos!

Absolutely no doubt about the practical part... now put yourself in Kubricks shoes when you don't see what you are filming. Very glad you enjoy Frande... now and then. Thanks for being around.
