…but the focus ring is little stiff and the focusing through is very short comparing to the other 3. I’ve paid £10 for mine and even at this price I would only give this lens 2 out 5, there are just to many other 135s that are much better. Time to stick it back on eBay. 🙂 The only weird thing, all the other Promura 135s I found on eBay at the time of writing a completely different, so please note, that my conclusion only applies to this particular… Continue Reading

…m that is as Hollywood as you can possibly be – a Vegas-set zombie shooter-come-heist flick, complete with CGI zombie tiger – shot in the least Hollywood way possible. Could it be that the “Hollywood look” we have always aspired to is whatever we want it to be? “This weird combination of super high-tech and super low-tech,” is the way Snyder put it in this interview with CinemaBlend, barely containing a grin. “That feels like my wheelhouse. Taking… Continue Reading
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRtKvQgm8PU&feature=player_embedded I’ve tested both of these lenses before, so the individual write-ups and opinions can be found here (for Olympus) and here (for Helios). Someone on the website asked me which one based batter based on image quality Olympus Zuiko OM 50mm f/1.4 or Helios 44m 58mm f/2, so I decided to do this quick test with my Olympus and the Helios I’ve used in my previous test. I think the results… Continue Reading
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV2ctwb2Jrs&feature=player_embedded It is time for my second test so far. This I quickly tested 4 very cheap 200mm primes, all 4 in very easily adaptable M42 mount. 200mm is a nice long focal length for video, anything longer and camera starts go become very shaky, so for the long shots 200mm is one of the best choices. Back in a day, 200mm along was found any every big camera manufacturer’s range. There are so many… Continue Reading
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mr1jTNae6g I’ve been using my Tokina 400mm f/5.6 ever since I bought it as an alternative to my Canon 100-400mm as that lens was getting a bit to expensive for the amount of time I was using it. Here is my test video, which shows how Tokina performs against the 10 times more expensive Canon. In the end the result were not different enough for me to stick with Canon. The Tokina is quite compact for 400mm lens, has a… Continue Reading
…the benefits mentioned above together with incredible, clean, sharp optics comparable to Canon L and modern Zeiss lens. There is now also the new Cine Version of this lens featuring the integrated follow focus rings and step-less aperture adjustment making this lens even more attractive to any filmmaker. I highly recommend this lens looking for a fast 35mm prime, be it vintage or modern. P.S. Thanks again for the shout out Mark! Click to find Ro… Continue Reading
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQiU9Jk5VGc Here is yet another video from Mario Suze giving us a detailed look at Tair 11A 135mm f/2.8 prime lens. Tair is an old, but very solid and very unusual Russian lens. I have two of these myself and although I haven’t tested them yet, this video really makes me want to have a ago at it. Not only does it produce some very impressive, film-like shots with Canon 5D MKII , but also has some very impressive spe… Continue Reading
