My Panasonic does't have the thing to plug the RCA cables but "A/V out" instead, question is: if I buy the same set up as you but get the cable with A/V out in one end and RCA in the other end instead of what you have, should it work for me? I'm pretty desperate lol

You are the only one describing how to use this lens in its Exakta version and I have subscribed to your channel right a way! Now, with the mirrorless cameras it does work this way when you push and turn that release button... But, with a DSLR it doesn't because you can simply not focus if doing that while the lens is stopped down, it's to dark! So, first focus with f2.8 and then press and turn and know what you are doing exposure wise. And, if there is not enough contrast or saturation, you can always create a separate picture control ( Nikon shooter speaking ) for that very lens👍🤩 Keep up the good work

I am right now in Spain. And i just want something cheap to plug onto the camera. Any Pentacon lens, 29, 50 or 135mm now goes for like 30 euros here :D Sometimes with film cameras attached :D I saw a Zenith film camera plus Pentacon 50mm 1.8 for 20 euros ... I mean!! Get out of here... Thats a price of a restaurant meal! Its ridiculous!!! Also thanks for the advice. I might just buy a pentacon set of 29 50 135 for 100 euros :D What the hell...

@@MarkHoltze Hi thanks for the reply.. this lens clicks when you focus, just before the number 2 (.5 macro/fully extended) I ask because I am wondering that there might be something wrong. It gets stiff just as you get to the very end of the focus travel then clicks inside and then smooth again.. it happens right at the end, perhaps the last 2 or 3mm! Does that sound wrong to you?

@sidbrun_6 күн бұрын
Wow I looked up the price of the FireWire 800 to Thunderbolt adapters, and they're about £150 😬 guess what, I had that adapter for YEARS, and after getting an M1 MacBook Pro I sold it in 2021 for just £24! Who'd have thought they'd become so rare. Luckily I still have all my FW400/FW800 cables, I think it'd be cheaper for me to just buy an old Mac with a FW800 port than to buy the adapters.

AF on a macro lens is useless as udders on a bull. Even if it does find focus, there is no guarantee it will focus on what you _want_ to be in focus. Although I am a daily Nikon user, I have a Spotmatic F and 7 Takumar lenses from 24mm f/3.5 to 300mm f/4 SMC. All are extremely well built, focus butterly smooth and very sharp with a high resolution film like Kodak T-Max 100
