What I Learned After a Year of Using Vintage Lenses For Filmmaking and Why You Need Them!
In this episode I want to share my experience with vintage lenses after a year of using them for filmmaking. Showcase the results I was able to achieve and point out some pros and cons. As well as image quality, character, performance, affordability, some common problems, and lens servicing.
For the past year I have used and tasted around 20 vintage lenses and built 3 sets of Carl Zeiss Jena, Contax Zeiss, and Canon FD. You can find the links down below. (They're Awesome!)
We will also discus some vintage lenses that were used in Dune 2 and Army of the Dead movies, and what makes them special.
Hopefully, this information will help you decide if it is worth for you to invest your money and time in vintage lenses.

Found your channel through a search for the Outback Wilderness (I have a '24 in Geyser Blue), and darned if I wasn't excited to see you're also a photographer. A man after my own heart through-and-through, it seems. :)
vintage lenses can be addictive, ive gone down a huge rabbit hole with over 80 so far

@@fistfulloflenses Absolutely! There is so much value in them. They offer unique look and character that modern photo lenses don’t have and cost much cheaper. What are your to 3 vintage lenses?
Thank you for sharing your experience with vintage lenses. I really like Carl Zeiss Jena, they have so much character but I would love to see a review about lenses that were used in Dune part 2

Carl Zeiss Jena lenses are something! Color consistent, affordable, and produce gorgeous look with great character. Dune 2 lenses are on my list to test!
Nice video, my favourite vintage lens is theJupiter 3 from 1951

Thank you! I’ve never heard of Jupiter 3 but will definitely check it out. What’s the focal length of it?

Thank you much! Once I get Jupiter 9 I’ll start testing it with the other two and see how good they are. Definitely want to film something good with them.
Is it possible to take the digital edge of photographs by using older manual lens? I’d like to achieve a look to my photographs similar to old leica m6 photographs.

Vintage Lenses help a lot when you want your pictures and videos look more natural to human eyes because they are not as sharp as modern photography lenses. Also, a lot depends on editing
