  • @guit156
    @guit1569 жыл бұрын

    Thanks for the note. This not a very fast lens, and when coupled with an older Micro 4/3rd's camera (in this case an E-PL1), the video is pretty grainy. It works in low light for stills, but I was using a tripod for the evening shots. The video would look better if show with a Panasonic GH2, for example, especially in daylight. The night I shot that little bit of video is was very dark. In general, however, I only use this lens for stills, on both Olympus and Panasonic cameras.

    Yes. This lens has an m42 screw mount, and is being used on an m42 to micro four thirds adapter from Rainbow Imaging. The m42 mount was used by Pentax, among others. Good luck. If you find one of these lenses, give it a try.

    Hi there, thanks for posting this. I currently got two Aus Jena 4/50 and 2.8/180 and was just wondering if for now before I get a Pentacon Six TL I could have a go with on my micro-thirds Panasonic GH1? Can I use them with the m42 mount as you did with the E-PL1? Many thanks!

  • @guit156
    @guit15610 жыл бұрын

    Hello brunopaps. Absolutely, use them on an E-PL1. All of the pictures in that video were shot with an EPL-1. I have a large collection of adapters for micro four thirds, for canon, nikon, pentax (both screw and bayonet mount) lenses. I tend to prefer many of the old Pentax screw mounts because of the glass, and use them on a variety of four thirds cameras. The GH1 can produce great images (and videos) with screw mounts.

    MinnJohn Hi MinnJohn, thanks for your reply :) ...just to confirm, is the m42 one of those old pentax screw mounts you referring to?

  • @guit156
    @guit15610 жыл бұрын

    Yes, absolutely. I regularly use Pentax m42 mount lenses with micro four thirds cameras. The old Pentax lenses are excellent. The still and video images in my "Lake Effect" video were almost all collected with m42 lenses. The clips of the fox in that video were taken with a great Pentax Asahi 135mm prime on an Olympus. The same video can be seen on Vimeo here: vimeo.com/79461896. (Vimeo doesn't disrupt video encoding with embedded advertising.) All you need is an m42-m4/3 adapter.

    One note on adapters. The screw mount adapters come in two types. Some have a flange that will engage the plunger on the lens and make the aperture operation manual, some do not have this flange. If the screw mount lens you will use does not have a "manual" setting, you will probably find the adapter with the flange to be more useful, and indeed it may be required to properly operate the lens.

    Just saw your comment on this video. I experimented with a variety of solutions, and ended up using the peroxide for a first cleaning, and the alcohol for a final cleaning, before reassembly of the lens elements. A friend of mine who does professional work on high quality video lenses (that's his full time job), suggested this approach. He also gave me some of his lint free micro fiber cloths. His cloths have extremely small fibers (almost felt like silk) I've never seen them elsewhere..

  • @guit156
    @guit15611 жыл бұрын

    Thanks for the comment. The Canon G11 does not have interchangeable lenses, so a lens like yours cannot be mounted. The easiest cameras on which to mount most "vintage" lenses are micro four-thirds cameras-- most Olympus and Panasonic interchangeable cameras. Many old Pentax lenses can also be mounted on a Pentax digital slr. The Pentax bayonet mount on the digital cameras is the same as on the old film cameras. There are also adapters for Pentax screw mounts.

    I agree. I have used vintage glass, with a variety of adaptations, on several of my digital cameras. This is very easy of course on Olympus and Pany because of their short registration distance, but I've done a few mods on other digital cams. On the Oly's, the only lenses I typically use are a collections of Asahi Super Takumars, and a few Zeiss optics. The Asahi's are my favorite. Though not extra crisp, I love their optical qualities. Good luck and stop back with results. Thanks!

    Thanks for the comment. I have quite a few 50mm lenses for use on my pen camera and think the bokeh with the Asahi Super Tak is the best -- smooth, buttery and well diffused. It's a great lens, and the Spotmatic is a fantastic camera.

    This lens, the Aus Jena 4/20, can be found on ebay for a reasonable price (often about $80 - $120 US). The lenses manufactured in the old West German Zeiss plant seem to sell for more. This lens is of OK quality - it's good, but not great. Keep in mind that it has a field of view equal to a 40mm lens, and is not a "wide angle" lens on a m4/3 camera. For some subjects the image quality from this lens is fantastic. Most pictures in this video had very little editing. All were shot in RAW.

    The short answer -- I've not experienced this problem. I've used these mugs (both sizes) for quite a while without incident, and sold roughly two dozen retro-fitted mug with no trouble. (I add lids and insulated grips). My two "main" mugs have seen lots of pretty tough use. My guess is it's a defective unit. I purchased mine in bulk from the manufacturer, and received a few with minor flaws, but none that leaked. For their price, even at retail, I'd buy another. Thanks for the report.
