We are all waiting for the Lomo guys to revive the spirit of the Quatsch lens!!!

Small correction, the Sigma 200-500 isn't called the Sigmonster, that's the 300 - 800mm. The 200 - 500 is referred to as either Bigma or Sigzilla.

So much great advice in 1 video. Thanks. A tip for file naming. For personal photos naming like 20240624a01Subject1Subject2...Location.jpg works pretty well. The "a01" is like the old film roll classification where you had roll "a", exposure "01". That works well for things where the subjects/location are the same. 20240624a01GeorgeXmas.jpg, 20240624a02GeorgeXmas.jpg, 20240624a03GeorgeXmas.jpg, etc. It also works well on vacations where you move from place to place and the "a" can become "b", etc. keeping stuff sorted in subgroups properly. When I was helping my pro friend transition from film to digital a million years back, we went to a CustomerName/number20240624A01Subject.jpg format.

I worked in a camera store in high school and college. Our manager ordered a Bessler camera (same company that made great enlargers). It was AWFUL. Heavy, clunky, loud, few lenses, bad control placement, the film advance felt like it was grinding sand, it looked like it was a junior high school shop project, .... THE WORST ever. We could not sell it. That's not quite right. We could not sell it to anyone who would not return it. She finally told us to sell it for anything we could get for it, no returns allowed. That did not work. We put it out on our yearly "sidewalk sale" and somebody finally took it away for almost free. Did I mention it was bad? Like really bad? That was 50 years ago and it still haunts my dreams.

holy... dude you are so annoying. Stop this editing, stop the voice, stop the zoomer stock images. Its so over for you bro

The Rubin observatory is a large format 10300mm f/1.2 monstrosity, without a doubt the most extreme visible light lens ever created. The full frame equivalent is roughly 500mm f/0.06

The city at 8:24 to 8:25 (houses in a line, river and bridge) is Tübingen (West Germany). I lived there for some years. 🙂 btw Today, I live near Leica. Maybe I should go check out their dumpster.📷📷📷📷

Those pigeon photos are actually really nice The phase is one camera seems more like a prototype that actually got built and sold to the public. Looking at you Kodak with that eight millimeter 5k camera! I really wanna get that lens from the very first ever camera and put it on a modern DSLR.

The fastest production lens I ever personally held, was on a Canon point-n-shoot in the late 1970s. It was either 0.95 or 0.96. Every image was "soft", and by "soft" I mean out of focus. It made the best photographer look like a rank amateur. I think the store had to almost give it away.

I own a tele-takumar 1000mm f8 manual focus lens. I even tried attaching a 2x rear adaptor on it.

Crazy we made such a big deal over stamps and the commercialization of space when now Elon Musk is allowed to launch an internet company powered from satellites in space. I think Starlink is amazing and is changing the world for the better but its just interesting.

BRO HAD A CHANCE TO SAY "BIGMA" BUT WENT WITH THE LAME "SIGMONSTER" IM UNSUBBING (NO JOKE)

Maybe not crazy, but mirror lenses deserve a segment in part 2

What about telecentrics? What about microscope adapters?

Damn, you just made me regretted selling my Sony 20-70mm f4 on my ZVE1.😅 i traded the lens for Sony PZ16-35mm. I just love the ultra-wide look. But i do sometimes miss the telephoto side of 50 to 70.

Damn you are just right.. thank you for opening my eyes..

There were rumors that Fujifilm is working on a medium format fixed lens camera

You are SO right. IMO, most of the time nobody can tell if you use a cheap lens. I shot products for years with a first generation Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro that I got for three bills on e-bay. I recently tested that lens against an RF 100mm f/2.8L - yep the new one has much faster and quieter autofocus, and it did have slightly more contrast - but that little difference disappeared instantly during processing. I could shoot in the studio with that janky old lens all day long. Nobody would ever know the difference.

That’s insane

Bro I’m not falling anymore I’m going to stick with sigma, which is like the cheaper version of the Gmaster lens for Sony.and since I am a Sony shooter, I’m a sigma master

You pronounced "Quatsch" like a true german ;)

Talking about fast lenses you forgot about Voigtlaender 29mm f0.8, which is not just a fastest production lens ever, but also its sharp wide open and almost covers APS-C

I don’t understand anything about cameras and lenses 😅

Tbh It has some cool features for the time And it seems like a camera I would use unironiclly

How does this guy have less than 5k Subs😭😱❤

6mmf2.8 nikkor had 220 degree of view not 270..

Waiting for the chicken stabilizer video

This was fascinating!

I love my LAOWA lenses though. They make some really unique lenses.

you could have added the nikon D600 which was able to dirty its sensor on its own. Nikon had offer a free cleaning service for over ten years.

I loved the video. But PLEASE don't use AI for your thumbnail.

Not even 1000 views? This is great. Keep it up!

awesome video as always!

New videooooo !!! 🎉🎉

why/how are their crosshairs on the moon photos? Couldn't be on the lens, because they would be out of focus (or not even visible). Were these on the film??
