Ayyyyy! Mark, thanks for showing up. Snag a copy, you'll love it!

I have the FL58mm f1.2. I use it with a straight adapter. Every speed booster I've seen has significant issues. For me, your work here only confirms my opinion. I see tons of vignetting and the edges are really too soft for me. However, mine does great with a straight adapter for both stills and video. I shoot stills on my XE cameras and video and stills with my H1 and X-S20. It is a wonderful lens and one of my favorite vintage film camera lenses.

I agree & have since stopped using & even sold the speed booster & only use straight through adapters now. Speed boosters are a double edged sward, even with expensive name brand ones. You get a look more similar to full frame & more light onto the sensor, but with a degradation of the image.

Way sharper than the Helios 44?!?! Wow. I’ve got a 44-2 and 44m and they are sharp wide open… if this thing is way sharper then the helioses…. I need this lens!

Way sharper than most of the Helios lenses I have had at least. Canon didn't have the same quality control issues as Helios, so you're not playing the Soviet lens lottery lol

Great for dreamy sequence.

Thanks!

I am officially dubbing this lens the Helios Killer 🔫 Also, this was filmed on Classic Negative , not Classic Chrome 🤷‍♂️

it's a bit swirly, but not too much. and got more bloom and less faults then the helios thingy's

I have Canon Super-Canomatic R f1.2 and on Canon 6D and BMP6K pro, it only close focuses and it's depressing me. Do I need to get a mirrorless for smaller flange distance?

I don't know if you already solve it but you need an adapter with an optical element for both cameras. FL - EOS. Otherwise you'll only have a macro lens. The mirrorless adapters does not need an optical element, so it's only the metal ring.

@@SuperCxhxa Thanks. Yes you're right. I contacted Fotodiox and got the right adapter, yes the slim one and the flange distance is now correct

Any post processing on the color?

No, internal film sim only

Did you have to modify the lens to fit the metabones?

No, it fit just fine. Noticeably more snug than my FD glass, but it did mount correctly & will even focus to infinity!

@@EricNelsonYT Good things to know, thanks Eric. Great video, very informative ☺️

should I be concerned about it being radioactive

Now go look at Helios swirls, bokeh and sharpness, this is nice but more of a wallet killer.
