You can't have a "Vintage Lens Files" segment without talking about the Helios 44-2, one of the most mass produced lenses of all time. Segment pulled from my Helios 44 full review, links to all my soviet lens reviews in the description.

Dude, these are all part of my bigger lens reviews already on the channel lol. You want to watch the full reviews, they're in the description or the full soviet playlist in the cards IN the video. VINTAGE LENS FILES is a short segment i've simply packaged out of those older reviews for a quick FYI bit lol. 1 min took me 5 hours, there's a reason they're short, youtube doesn't pay me enough for these lol. I am sorry to subvert expectations, but this is the last one, I'm testing shorter form content as well, the longer format stuff takes me too long and doesn't seem to perform as well.... = waste of time. Change is in the air, need to see if this is even worthwhile effort any longer.

I'm not even sure I can lol. It's such a chaotic process building them out, I'm not even sure i know how I got it there. Not a bad idea though.

DUDE! This looks so good. It feels like a video game cutscene. Well done sir!

I thought the same, it has some kinda 'Metal Gear Solid' feel

It's totally designed with that in mind, something slightly modern to reflect on some history.

Fotodiox M42 to NEX (E mount) is what I use. Suoer simple and simply awesome:

I got my Helios 44m-4 from Ukraine this month. I love the results so far (so cinematic). I want to de-click the aperture next.

It’s in the pinned comment, it’s a snippet from an existing lens review. Full review is linked in the description. It’s a “short” history beat on the lens. There’s a 12 min full review on it plus others in the Soviet lens playlist, but not everybody cares about a full review and might just want to hear a little bit about the past.

Was hoping it would teach a bit, I know they're short segments, but sometimes people don't make it through the entire video or even a portion where these live and the stories behind them are my fav. Hence why I've separated them into their own segments.
