how to mount takumar to fp?

@KazuoItoga Ай бұрын

you can use an M42 to L adapter like this one www.kfconcept.com/KF06.476-manual-lens-adapter-ring-m42-l.html

How practical/easy is it to video with the FP and a manual focus lens?

@KazuoItoga Ай бұрын

For casual video, really easy. I do it all the time. For serious work I'd rig it with a monitor. Keep in mind no IBIS.

Do you know how to see if it's a 7 or 8 elements version? I mean from the outside, I want to know about mine now 😅

@KazuoItoga Ай бұрын

Hi! Usually the serial number is under 1,400,000. The red infrared line is on the right side of the 4 line, and the rear element curves out quite a bit from the casing.

I love the feel of your videos along with your stunning photography. It's very inspiring. I am looking into getting an FP soon as an upgrade to my video camera and for taking photos, and seeing your work has convinced me to go for it. Thank you, and I'll be looking forward to your future videos!

Thank you for your wonderful video. I have an fp on loan from SIGMA for use with my students and it is a wonderful camera. Your video and included photos are really good. One thing (and apologies in case); If you are Japanese, your English is incredibly accomplished.

This is pretty insightful! I'm just starting out and have been shooting street theater plays. The challenge is I have no knowledge or control over what the performers are going to do next, so I'm never quite sure how to frame properly 😅

Anybody shooting jpegs ? No viewfinder ? Handling looks awkward and unstable. Nice colours though.

@KazuoItoga 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! fp is modular. You can buy a viewfinder. It also shoots 14bit DNGs. It's not a camera for many, especially beginners.

Hello, you have vignette in all the photos, I wonder if it is a problem with the lens or you have added it in editing. Japan is so safe and calm to take photographs that it is a unique experience.I love how that camera treats color. Thanks.

wow that's a very cool use of an fp-L. I'm sure you can use your fp-L as a handheld snap camera just like I do with my fp.

Ive got almost 3 years with the FP, and it is still a powerful video beast. And the thing it doesnt get enough attention over is the still images. The stills are as good as the GFX system I used to have. I sold the GFX and will keep the FP until it dies. It's also massively reliable due to not having a mechanical shutter. And that Sigma 45/2.8 "cheap" lens is spectacular!
