Vintage Lenses

>jacking up the prices on my cheap vintage native glass just so you mft fags can have lenses because the ones made for your system cost too much

reeeeeeeee

any old Nikkor glass is good to go. The Helios isn't bad because muh bokeh.

>>3096372
Trying to track down a Nikon ais 50mm F1.4 at the moment.

I stay away from ebay and amazon because people jack the prices up. Vintage camera shops and charity shops are where all the good deals are at.

Swirly bokeh from the Helios is bretty good though.

>>3096382

That 50 isn't bad. It's almost optically identical to the AF-D version. Find a 105 2.5 as well.

My MFT experiences so far:
2.8/28 MD Rokkor is decent for a poorfag standard lens on MFT. Doesn't fuck up the corners like most adapted 28mm's do.
1.4/57 Hexanon is the sharpest motherfucker I've adapted to MFT so far, but the length is an issue.
3.5/50 Macro-Hexanon is good for close ups of bugs on flowers to get laughed out of /rpt/.
2/135 FD is great for tele work, sharp and fast. But it's also expensive as hell. Pic related taken with this one.
For super tele meme shots of the moon, look no further than the 5.6/300 MC Rokkor.

Just got a exacta 2.8/28mm FD
It's kinda crap but I can 15cm Close so I guess I'll take shots of flowers and maybe "dreamy Portraits"

2.5 105mm nikkor or 135 2.8.

Olympus OM 50 1.4 or 1.2 and Olympus OM 100 2.8
Fujian 36 1.7 C Mount
Fujinon 50 1.4 C Mount

I'm looking for an old macro lens with M42/OM/C/M39 mount
Any ideas ?

Just ordered the CZ T* (C/Y) 135f2.8, 85f2.8, 50f1.4 and 35f.2.4 after 8 hours of research and reconsideration. Did I just meme'd myself to the T*? Going to use them with >Sony A7

>>3096632
CZ Flektogon 35f2.4

It's cheap and great, 0.18m focus range is basically 1:2 macro.

What is a good wide angled vintage lens? I want something wide but sharp for landscapes.

>>3096382
I picked one of those up last year when I was buying an FE body, it also came with a105 Micro. The guy did not know what the lenses were, I got it for $100. That was a Craig s buy, I still browse the hell out of it everyday, even though most of the time it is a wasteland.

>>3096651
I got my 50 1.4 non-ai with my F3 for 100 bucks too. I think the guy didn't know it wasn't a normal 50mm.

>>3096363
Any and pretty much all C/Y Zeiss lenses, 35 /2.8, 50 /1.7, 50 /1.4, 25 /2.8 (this one's awesome, the best price/performance you'll find in wide angles) 85 /2.8, 135 /2.8, 100 /2.0 and so on. They're all good and they're all much cheaper than their modern counterparts at 80% of the performance. Especially some of the medium teles, the 100 /2.0 is pin sharp and has no CA for example.

>>3096666
>non-ai

>>3096642
>CZ Flektogon 35f2.4
Nice thank you anon

>>3096669
what's wrong with the non-ai version? Is the same fucking optical formula and its better than todays f1.4s.

well I'm a poor fag with an a6000 so I have a bit of experience with vintage lenses.

Have a 50mm 1.8, and 1.4 Canon FD lens, they're great lenses

Also have a Pentax K 50mm 1.2, fantastic lens, massive lens flare (which is good or bad depending on your preferences). The aberrations are bad though. They're magenta and aqua/blue when wide upon, and you're gonna get them no matter what. The FD lenses didn't have this problem nearly as much. They're great though, they're cheap and have fantastic performance. Hell, collectively on all of them I've spent $10 lmao. Way better than blowing 400, 1000, or 1500$ on a similar native lens.

Just bought pic related for 20 britbongs.

I wanted the original silver version which is weighs just 118 grams, but it meant having to buy another adaptor.

m42?

How do you use a vintage lens with a m43 camera?

Like technically it isn't a vintage lens, but I just ordered a 17.5 f0.95 lens for my pen f. Do I just set it to allow peaking then set the camera on aperture priority and I am good to go?

>>3096372
Mft lenses are expensive? I didn't think they were any more expensive than the cannon lenses I used to buy

>>3097452
I brought one last night on a drunken whim. Should come here next week.

>>3097794
That version is M42 but there are also ones with EX mounts.

>>3097845
You enable peaking and use manual mode. You have to manually set everything othwr than shutter speed.

How is the CZ Flektogon 35mm/2.4 compared to CZ Distagon T* 35mm/2.8? I didn't find a lot of comparison between the two of them and the T* is almost double price.

Unrelated note my friend got a CZ T* 35mm 1.4 for $150, I'm so fucking jelly.

this, probably the coolest vintage 35 you can get

also fujinon 50/1.4, ive got one of the "newer" versions, using it with a speedbooster on my old-ish x-e1 and man, its unbelieveable - pic related.

what are the benefits to spending the money on a speedbooster instead of using a $10 adapter?

>>3098015
well since i use crop - i get a bit more light, a bit more sharpness in the center, and dof + fov almost equivalent to fullframe..

There is no benefit to adapting lenses in my opinion.

Probably my most used lens is the FD 50/1.4 SSC, images just seem to come out really well from it. I prefer it over my SMC Takumar 50/1.4

I own a nikkor 20/3.5 that is alright, but I typically don't need anything that wide, 28/2 is my go to wide right now.

I have the second version of Tamron 90/2.5 macro, I have heard some versions are sharp wide open, mine isn't, though around f4 its decent.

Tokina made Vivitar 100/2.8 that's surprisingly good. (pic related)

Less used; Yashika 50/2 which feels really nice, and the images are decent aswell. Vivitar 55/2.8 macro, which is pretty good, and I used it alot before I got the FD 50/1.4.

All used on the meme dream a7.

I've never purchased a vintage before but I think I'm about to take the plunge, I was looking around ebay and noticed a few Nikon 28mm f/2.8 AI's for around $70-$100, it's something that I want - but aside from the standard Ken Rockwell page on it I don't know other resources to research - and I'm scarred I'll buy a bad year batch or wrong factory version.

Any thoughts on this? Am I overthinking?

>>3098145
>a bad year batch
There isn't one as far as i know, if there is i'm sure google will tell you. The Nikon Nikkor AI are god tier lenses.

>>3098152
Rad, I figured I would've noticed something in the google search but you never know.

I bought a Super Tak 35mm f2 lens and I want to use it on my Pentax MX body. I'm planning to buy an (official Pentax) adapter to achieve this.

do you think I can get good results with this combination? what are some issues I might run into?

I've been trying to read about stop-down metering for a start, but I'm having trouble grasping the concept.

so far I understand that in normal use with a K-mount lens, the MX body will meter accurately for your selected f-stop without actually stopping down the aperture blades until just before the moment the shutter fires. in this way, the viewfinder will be well-lit, because the aperture blades remain wide open until the last moment. this is made possible by the feature called an automatic diaphragm.

I also understand that the use of an adapter and a non-K mount lens will not allow the diaphragm to do its job. this means that as I stop down, the viewfinder will grow dim.

so, to stop-down meter, you

>set the Super Tak's switch to 'manual'
>open the aperture to its widest stop
>set the desired shutter speed
>look through the viewfinder
>focus on your subject
>half-depress the shutter and stop down until the camera meters the correct exposure (the viewfinder will be too dim now to focus effectively)
>depress the shutter

is that it? so all you have to do is remember to revert to wide open if you need to meter. to be honest I mostly guess & shoot for overexposure anyway. I'm not sure how much I trust the MX's meter in anything except ideal light. so what's the big deal? why do I keep hearing about this 'disadvantage'?

also, if I flick the Tak's switch to 'automatic', it seems to go to the widest aperture. will this switch function the same way once the lens is mounted? if so, that is pretty handy.

>>3096718
It is not usable on bodies with interal focusing motors unless they have been modified. They do not damage the motor, but the indexing tab on the mount.

>>3098165
Auto aperture will not function with a M42 on a K-mount body. The body will meter correctly at any given aperture but as you at least realized, focusing becomes a pain in the ass when stopped down. When switched to automatic, the lens will remain wide open and will not stop down when you shoot.

Just buy a K-mount lens.

>>3096363
Kit lenses that came with very expensive cameras years ago. People think just because it's a kit lens it is automatically shit, but when a camera costs thousands of dollars on its own the kit lens is expected to be sharp enough to take advantage.

For MFT video, what vintage manual system is best to invest in for a speedbooster?

>>3098384
If you get a Canon EOS mount speedbooster you can use another adapter to adapt pretty much any other lens system with a longer flange distance, so you don't lock yourself to a specific mount.
Not a MFT or video user but it's the reason I got an EOS speedbooster, don't even own Canon lenses.

I just got a CZ T* 135mm/2.8, using it on the A7. I have some experience with MF lens but I can't seem to get the focus right with this lens even at f5.6 and 300+ shutter. The focusing looks perfect through the liveview/EVR but after shot taken it become a little blurry. I've taken care not to shake the camera too much when pressing the trigger.

Is it possible that there's some fault with the lens?

>>3098763
focus with 2.8 and then switch to the aperture you want to shoot with. More precise focusing.

>>3098763
Can't you zoom on the liveview screen?

>>3098814
>>3098808
What I'm saying is I zoomed in and focused as I do with other MF lens, through the liveview/evr the image appeared very sharp but after the shot was taken the image is a little blurry even at high shutter speed. I have never encountered this kind of problem even on a 210mm MF lense.

I'm wondering if there is some fault with the lens but then again the preview image when I was focusing looked sharp enough so that can't be the case right?

How's the Canon 55mm f1.2?

Is it a good lens for the buck?

>>3098817
Are you perhaps touching the focusing ring while pressing the shutter?

>>3098819
No, I've also taken extra care to stabilize the camera when pressing the trigger but the image still come out blurry compared to focusing preview.

>>3098822
your last hope is trying with a tripod. Can you post samples?

Thinking about getting a Zhongyi Lens turbo II for my A6000.

They do one with a M42 mount and a MD mount. At the moment I have one MD lens which is a Minolta MD 50mm 1.7 and two M42 lenses which are a Helios 44-2 55mm 1.7 and a Carl Zeiss Jena 50mm 2.8.

Which mount has the most lenses? M42 or MD? I plan on getting one for each mount eventually but for now I can only get one so I want to go with the mount that supports the most amount of lenses.

They also do Canon, Nikon and Pentax mounts but I don't have any of those lenses yet.

>>3098920
Between those two M42 has the most lenses and many of them are great.

Im a Sony a7s and I almost exclusively shoot vintage glass...

>>3096649
How wide? I like my Canon FD 28mm f2.8. I think their 24mm 2.8 is also good.

What I would like to know, is what a good fast wide lens; like 24-28mm, at least f2. Or maybe a 35mm faster than f2. I also generally have a budget of $100-$200 usd

>>3096729
>Have a 50mm 1.8, and 1.4 Canon FD lens, they're great lenses

I have a Canon FD 50mm 1.4 SSC and 2 50mm 1.8s; is there any reason for me to keep a 1.8? Like, do they do anything at all better than the 1.4?

>>3098052
>28/2 is my go to wide right now.
which exact model?

>>3099635
>>3098920
you could get the MD version and use an M42-MD adapter for now

>>3098763
shake the lens; do you hear anything that is possibly a loose element?

Is this a first gen A7 or 2nd? If 2nd, try turning on or off the in-body stabilization

>>3098822
try using a tripod and also either using a remote release or at least a 2 second timed release. there is several free phone apps that allow your phone to act as a wireless remote trigger

>>3098394
Also, the EOS mount is an absolute pleasure to use. However, its flange focal distance is a bit longer than some, notably, its longer than Canon FD. Meaning you would not be able to adapt FD lenses to that setup. It might make more sense to get a FD or perhaps another mount. I, however, hate dealing with the FD mounting setup

>>3098021
I prefer old lenses to new ones. I think they are built better. I like everything about the manual apertures better. I like the manual focus setup better. Focus throws on AF lenses are way too short. You can argue this is not an issue with fully electric (no focus cam) AF systems like Sony is using a lot, but Im not sure I like those either

>>3099699
mm, fungusy.

>>3098015
Well you get a couple extra stops of light for one. But perhaps the most obvious benefit is you get approximately the full wide angle of your lenses

>>3099699
Is that rikenon F-mount?

>>3098014
>fujinon 50/1.4
nice I wasnt really aware of this lens. what mount is it? Its designed for full frame (35mm) right?

>>3096510
what is it?

>>3097981
I assume you can do auto-ISO as well

>>3097845
>Do I just set it to allow peaking then set the camera on aperture priority and I am good to go?
That should work. You should be able to set ISO to whatever you want or auto. You can also try not using peaking, and just using the focus zoom function and eye-balling it. This is often actually more accurate than focus-peaking. I suggest you try both and see what you get better results with, as well as whats easier to shoot. I prefer focus peaking off personally, but thats just a preference

>>3099717
>Its designed for full frame (35mm) right?
No it was designed to APS film.

>what mount is it?
M42

Can someone tell me some vintage lenses they recommend for astro-photography? Maybe something I missed in my google searches. Definitely open to recommendations for Mirror lenses. Also wondering if theres any apo-chromatic lenses that are somewhat cheap.

>>3099714
just checked for fungus; unless im missing something, only one of the pentax 50 f2, and perhaps a tint bit on the canon, had fungus. I bought these off a fellow lens repair technician; these are his test lenses from his film days; i collect old primes.

Post the front of the lens

I have a few Minolta md lenses from my grandfather and I'm thinking of getting an A7 this year. I can't afford new glass so I was planning on getting an adapter and using the stuff I already have. What adapter should I buy and is this even a good idea? With focus peaking it seems like it would be pretty easy to get sharp shots and ive never owned an af camera (other than phone and other crappy stuff), anyone with experience have any input as far as ease of use on Sony's platform?

>>3099955
MD to NEX adapter

Recently bought a Canon A1. Proper newfag question, but am I stuck with buying Canon lenses from pre-digital because of it being FD? What lenses would you recommend for a Canon A1? Mine came with a bog standard 50/1.8"

>>3099728
No cannot really tell. Do you have a Nikon read cap? If it fits it is Nikon, if it doesn't its not.

Read this article and the whole site really.

Focus peaking isn't perfect, but it is damn close and there are tricks to make it easier.

Overall, MD lenses work great on the a7 series. You may also want to look at the techart pro adapter. MD lenses can be adapted to it too.

Pic related, my MD mount camera.

>buying 50mm film lenses when they're literally growing from trees in your parents/ grandparents basement.

I have 3 50mm lenses ranging from 1.8,1.4, and 1.2 that I have collectively spent $10 on. All you have to do is look around or ask your relatively for old film cameras.

>>3099717
m42 and covers the whole frame, yeah-

>>3100001
yes, you're not going to be using any EF lenses. I would pick up either a 28/24 depending on how wide you want to go and a 85/100 for portraits.

>>3100614
>yes, you're not going to be using any EF lenses
just curious, but why not? an adapter should be possible, but ive noticed there dont really seem to be any, even though they should be easy to make

id venture to say you could probably make a diy adapter

>>3099728

Minolta MD mount

>>3099699

The Nikon will have better contrast wide open and will be sharper wide open at the expense of moderate CA. Past f/4 they are all sharp as tacks. The SC coating on the Nikon is an early multi-coating designed for color film but the Canon will have better colors and better saturation.

>>3100920
Not that guy, but ef has electronic aperture control, so you'd be stuck with whatever aperture those lenses happen to be at. Just not worth it.

Contax g. Any. With a $10 adapter to any mirrorless camera. Dont buy them, though, save them for me.

>>3100964
>not having a dedicated canon body just to preset the aperture on your EF lenses

>>3099703
apparently the 1.8 is sharper than the 1.4? That's what I've been told at least, though they conveniently failed to manetion whether or not they were taking about both lenses wide open, in which case the 1.8 is obviously sharper.

Purchased a nice little meme this morning.
Vivitar 28/2.5 in K-mount, $25 strayan.
Wide open the abberations are buck-wild, but stopped down to f/16 it sharpens up nicely.
Big front element so it doesn't even vignette that horribly.
This is wide open.

Even at f/16, the final few mm's of the image circle are a little streaky, but nothing that would concern you in a real photo. CA is not too bad at all, and probably less noticeable than it would be on a higher resolution lense, distortion is surprisingly good.
As the based god says in the scriptures, lenses don't make sharp photos, photographers do. Happy with my $25 purchase, might give it to a pentacks shooting qt I know.

The Canon FD 85/1.2L.
Most modern 85mm's are cheaper.
>>3106043
Bruh, I've got a Fuji GSW, Nikkor Ai-s 24 and 28mm's, canon FD 24mm, Hexanon AR 28mm, Mamiya 50mm and 75mm L and a Sigma 30/1.4, I was buying this for fun, not out of necessity.
The effect from this lense wide open is neat.
I'm sorry you can't appreciate any rendering aesthetic besides "sharp" in a lense.

>>3106099
If you want some insanely soft edges, try the Vivitar 28mm f2. Best yet try it on a speed-booster!

I never thought my 28mm f2.5 was soft, but I guess I havent looked closely enough. I like the extremely long focus throw and giant front element

What is the best 50mm vintage lense? I want a decent 50mm, I could buy the Samyang 35mm f1.4 for £300 which would give me 52mm on my A6000. Just wondering if there is a good vintage alternative, M42 or MD would be ideal.

>best 50mm
CZ Sonnar T* 50mm f1.4 CY mount. You can get one in mint condition for about $300, MM version (has green max aperture number) is better than AE.

If you want a 35mm to have 52mm on your a6k then get the CZ Flektogon 35mm/2.4 or CZ Distagon T* 35mm/2.8. Both are great but the Flektogon is cheaper and has 18cm minimum focus distance which is great for macro.

I was thinking about the CZ Plannar to be honest. It would probably be best because I want to get an MD mount focal reducer that way I can use MD mount lenses on it and use an adapter to covert M42 ones to MD and use those on it as well.

How is it with manual focus lenses? Torn between that and an XT-1

>>3106933
The focus peaking isn't great IMO but the quick zoom in to check focus makes it easy. I tend to just zone focus anyway for street.

The Pentacon 135 is essentially a cheap Sonnar. Lenses from the GDR can be great finds as they are Zeiss designs taken by the Soviets.

Every 135mm lens are decent to good anyway so anything in that focal length can be a "cheap Sonnar".

But CZ 135mm/f2.8 is cheapest among all the CY mount CZ lenses anyway so you may as well get it for the T* coating and imo much nicer colors.

i have the cz 50mm 1,4 for C/Y,
thinking to adapt on my xpro1 ( together with fuji xf35mm and 18mm ) so it would be more of a portrait lens

also i activly use the contax g2 with
45mm and recently the 28mm 2,8

which lenses should i adapt on my fuji xpro1
the c/y 50mm 1,4 or the contax g2 lenses

or is this all a waste of time ?
surely i would love to see the quality of the
biogon 45mm f2 on my xpro

>>3107219
Why not both? The adapters are not that expensive. If I had to choose only one, probably the 50f1.4 because Contax G focusing experience through adapter is not that great unless you're using Techart adapter on Sony.

Oxfam, but they know their shit about vintage lenses and charge the average going price or slightly less. They have a website, just google 'ixfam vintage lenses'.

I use www.rockycameras.com it seems to take around 4 days to get a lense from them, even though they send them royal mail first class. That has been my experience with them anyway.

>>3110125
It is the lens coating, it gives better image quality. You can only see it from an angle, straight on it looks clear.

Bought pic related earlier, it is a M42 to MD adapter.

I got it for two reasons

1. it means I only need to worry about carrying one adapter for my M42 and MD lenses.
2. I want to buy a focal reducer and this means I only have to buy one instead of two. They are £120 each so this is a good thing.

Are there adapters like this for canon and nikon etc? I had a look on google but couldn't find anything, just wondering if anyone knows?

If I can get ones that convert canon and nikon to MD it means I only have to buy one MD focal reducer for any lenses I buy.

You are supposed to read about lenses before you buy them.

its a great lens

I'm fairly sure it's the same performance or better than the pentax-a variant which I absolutely adore

I'm guessing you have a k-50 or something

amazing lens, i've been using it for the last year as my main and it holds up great, sharp from wide open, from 5.6 it's simply amazing. has nice bokeh at closest focus

a bit less sharp than 28 3.5, that's where the mixed opinions come from but imo 2.8 is worth the minimal loss in sharpness

Since noone posted about any Jupiters yet:
I love my Jupiter 21m (f4/200mm). I alread yhave an FD lens with f3.5/200mm but it is unsharp as fuck. meanwhile, the Jupiter is much sharper, but heavy as fuck. Even with a monopod can't get stable videos with it. maybe if I have camera with IBIS I'll get some.
But the photos are great. It made me want to buy a Jupiter 8 or 3

It sometimes has contrast problems, because there's a metal plate inside that is covering up the aperture-engagement mechanism and this plate flares into the lens. i coverend it up with some plastic-sponge webbing and it took a great deal of flare away

Here's a test of the lens with and without the modification. It isn't perfect and taking pictures of bright scenes still lowers contrast somewhat, but the bright flare in the center is gone and that's the most important part
maybe one day I'll remove the plastic mesh and replace it with something better, like rubber foam or something, but I'm afraid I'll destroy something in the process, especially since I used superglue.

Just got another Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm f2.8 in perfect condition after the first one I bought had fungus and scratches all over the lens.

It is not the best lens in the world but there is just something about it I really like. The colour rendering is some of the best I have seen, the colours it produces are pretty much spot on to how things are irl.

The Hexanon AR 40mm f1.8 that comes with the Konica Autoreflex TC is my absolute favorite lens. Don't really know the general opinion on it but it gives me the results that I want.

Yeah, there's something about Zeiss rendering that I really like. I don't even want to change much in LR/PS to preserve the colors.

Right now I have Zeiss 35f2.8, 50f1.4, 135f2.8 CY mount but will start collecting contax G mount lenses as well when I can afford A7rii + techart adapter. Focusing experience with other adapter feels like shit.

should have posted here first instead of the gear thread. these are going in a charity shop by me, £5 for lens and camera for each. I already have a 50mm 1.8 EF lens and was just wondering if any are worth picking up.

Buy both. Zooms of that camera's era were bad (except Zuiko, but it's still a zoom so compared to Zuiko primes it's still bad), and the 50mm f/1.8 is excellent for a film lens. The OM-10 body is auto-only without the manual adapter, but for a fiver it's hard to fuck up here.

OM-system is adaptable to Canon SLRs, yeah. Not worth it compared to modern stuff, but again for a fiver it's next to free plus you get a fancy rear cap. Usable copies of that lens go for 20€ at expert resellers, so you could expect a tenner online.

>>3118616
thank you very much for the quick response, I suppose I'll grab a working body and as many lenses that are still available.
