Thanks for the video. Is this the Pro 1 or Pro II? The Pro 1 has "Tokina" around the front lens element.

@noahforbes 2 күн бұрын

Am I missing it or do you have any info on disassembling the front elements? I want to clean the haze out from behind the front element but can't figure out how to disassemble it once its out of the lens . Great info on here by the way!

@@thomascaminada7808 it is extremely close and there are easy adjustments you can do to make it perfectly parfocal. It is fantastic with BM but you will need to convert it to EF with a conversion kit. I used the fdtoef.com kit and it's been fantastic

I’ve been eyeballing this lens for a moment. What adapter are you using? I was using a couple of different cheap adapters to adapt Nikon lenses to the Panasonic S5 but my zoom lenses that are parfocal on other camera bodies, didn’t have the correct back focus.

Hi Avery great footage! Love the fd line. I’ve got the 24mm and the 35mm. I’ve a question - do you have any videos in which you showcase the lens zooming completely out then in? I’m working on a short film and am looking for a solution and I think this lens may be it. I appreciate your time and thank you for the video!

@@averykevans6894 after looking up what that means, yes, I would like to also know that.

I am having serious debate with myself about what lens set should I get for video work. Canon FD, Leica R or Olympus Zuiko. 24mm and 50mm for start. what do you think Canon FD 24mm f2 with 50mm 1.2 ssc (later 50mm 1.2 L) or Leica R 24mm 2.8 with 50mm 1.4 Summilux or Olympus 24mm f2 with 50mm 1.2?

@@thomascaminada7808 I wouldn't say it is difficult, however, the aperture control mechanism is spring loaded so you need to be careful so it doesn't spin too far around or it's tough to get to to get back in the right spot. I believe there are some videos of the process out there though. If you've ever opened FD lenses up though you should have no problems

I used LM47 on my Helios 44M helicoids and made it even stiffer than it was.. I think there must be a grease out there less viscous than the LM47... It might work for FDs but for Helios 44s is WAY too thick...any ideas?
