As Contax and Yashica were working together and Yashica used the same coatings on their ML series of lens have you looked at those. The cost of Yashica glass is currently in range of most of us. The quality of the glass is along the line of some of the best out there.

Very nice work man ! Nigel sent me here. SUBSCRIBED !

I love the basis! Film is expensive! And Leica Digital is free! Totally free! How may films would that free price be? Use film, bleed slowly! Digital Leica sell body parts..l

amazing camera setup

I noticed you close you Aputure quite a bit, it’s refreshing to see because most DPs try to open up lenses as much as possible, but what made you choose otherwise?

Idk who you ripped off but you got great money for those tokinas… I see them regularly for like $2k a lens. Amazing contax Zeiss lens set too. Glad to see these beauties getting use.

Enjoyed the story of your journey. I’ve been shooting Leica since acquiring a M3 from a friend of my father’s for $500. 54 years later I’m shooting a M11. It’s the tool I’m comfortable with.

Tha shi goin crazy mane

Thanks Josh, Imagery look amazing. Sharp but not sharp alchemy. Anyway, I think your video has convinced me to go for the 35, 50 and 85. 35 f1.4 has steady gone up in price recently but thankfully not Summilux crazy! Shooting on the sigma art stills and find myself “declinicalising” quite a lot. Best wishes from Scotland Martin

got mine a couple days back! pretty nice

Can you tell me where I can buy an expanded handle? Video time at 0:52. Thx

This set is based on the Ae or MM lens?

The background track is 🔥🔥🔥

Saludos desde Malmö, Suecia y enhorabuena por tu excelente canal y compartir tus conocimientos con todos nosotros.

Are we just chasing resolutions here ? Are we becoming a businessman instead of cinematographers ?

Why nobody talks about that magnificent wide lens you shot your vlog? Is that anamorphic?

Just starting my journey in to vintage glass, will slowly build out a set of Contax :)

The incorrectly loaded film had a cool vibe to it, still. Could be used for filmic overlays in a sample pack or footage for a more avant guard video/music video/etc

Very cool, thanks for sharing the experience. I got k3 through a friend in Thialand, as Im in Asia and he got it converted to super16, but not like your version where you can actually see, so I haven't yet shot with it. I will probably shoot centered subjects first on a test roll to see which side Im missing in the view finder, to better compose on actual shoots. I'm not pro or anything, just for fun. And I haven't yet used the light meter, so I'm still in the "scared" phase, I have black and white svema as test rolls. I do agree, K3 is known to cause loop issues, although you got loop formers removed, I got mine removed too, sounds like i'm talking about getting balls removed, but, no, it's like getting a surgery for the better, or film gets scratched. But I also do have Arri 16S, so send me some confidence to kill my fear and test the K3 with a light meter, so I can get the hurdle away, its been two years already. The mount I have is m42, so I dont mind it, since I might just use the old glass, especially Helios and other m42 photography lenses I have, but with softer glass, i'll have to nail the focus, or it will be shit. I don't mind not having crystal sync, as I like the fluctuated speed for short scenes and especially if im going to dub audio or at least, if I get a live recording, I can edit footage to sync. Speaking of sound, I would like to experiment recording sound on tape, as Digital for me just clashes with film, if not EQ'd properly. I mean, for digital to sound "correct" on film, I might have to lower the extreme high and low bars, so I have most of the middle section on the EQ, so its not too sharp and bassy, but I figured, tape sound would fit film better. Just more hassle, but it pays off. Lastly, the on screen text (Logos, Credits). I'm interested in shooting on film. There are filmstocks made for special effects and shooting cards with credits and I feel that shooting credits on film blends them to the world, they belong there and on screen digital text is like a sticker on a box, instead of the print.

Great video and results! Wondering what side handle grip you have on the k3?

Try k4 with hd tap and sync motor.

I had a K3 back in the day when they were first being imported. It was like most Soviet items, built like a tank, almost indestructible, but not very precise, as you noted with film speed and there was a lot of gate weave. I used it on some corporate shoots exactly as you suggested, for random b-roll and textural elements, as we shot the actual project on video. They are interesting cameras but definitely with a lot of technical limitations. At the same time, I also owned an Arri SR2 HS modded camera that was the opposite of the K3, It had crystal sync, was quiet and precise, German engineered. But back in the day, really expensive, I think I paid $30k for the SR2 package. K3 is fun if you just want to doodle around and experiment with film. Too bad shooting film today costs a bloody fortune, I used to buy short ends, which were leftovers from high end productions that they would sell off. A good way to save money, but today, I doubt there are enough people shooting film on a regular basis for there to be much of short ends market?

I’m here for all K3 content. Keep it up.

So good! Is the full music video out?

Great video brother!

local filmmaker, stoked about this! Just subscribed!

l love my M10 as well, the only issue for me is the sharp edges body design. I scratched my fingers while trying to to pull the iso knob up due to the sharp corners

Nice work. All the exteriors look so filmic.

I agree that the 24mp sensors are the sweet spot for digital photography. Some claim more than 24mp`s can add too much "digital" in a photo. I shot with a Nikon F2 for years but the price of film with development and long shipping times made me reconsider. I wanted a Leica digital camera and decided on a Leica MD-262 after watching a video made by Thorsten Overgaard. I love film cameras and shooting film and the Leica MD gets me as close to the film experience as possible...!

I randomly found this movie and I wanted to share some thoughts about it, hope you don't mind :) I absolutly love the look of this movie, the cold atmosphere is very much visible and fits the mood perfectly, I also like that you change the aspect ratio depending on the time in which the scene takes place I think the title is very well chosen. The Actors are authentic and fit the roles. I can tell that many thoughts flew into this project, it really has quality The only thing I don't quite get is why the protagonist exactly behaved like this, I don't think his anger is understandable for me as a viewer and I also don't quite get why he is putting himself in to the police, why does he suddenly take responsability? He coldly murdered 3 people without thinking too much about it and he didn't seem sorry, but more like a cold killer. But english is not my first language, I'm not sure if I missed something important. And the reaction of his parents could have been a bit more extreme, they seemed a bit to chill to me. first I also didn't understand that he stole stuff from the other dude (consoles and all that) and why his clueless friend went there with him just to wait in the car. Maybe the film didn't need this scene with the stealing because it moved on very fast without really looking back at what happend just there in this scene. Some sequences with slow motion seemed a bit too long, but I get if that was the vibe you were going for and it does fit the film very well. The music was fantastic, it wasn't to loud and it was very fitting the vibe was perfect. The visual language was very cool, my favorite shot was at the party where the protagonist stares at his "friend" talking to the girl and you can really tell that he's extremly angry, I also love the lighting of all scenes. The Police Officer was very cool, it was a nice way of telling what happend, before it happend and keeping some sort of mystery. Overall I would say its a very well made movie and I would love to see more like this. Please note that the negativ stuff I mencheond is really me complaining on a very high level, overall I really think its more positiv then negativ and i just thought you might like to also hear my negative thoghts as well, I'm a young filmmaker myself and can really understand the difficultys and complexity of such a project. You did great! Keep on doing this stuff :)

Hi.. keen intrested to work with you.... let me know the further project Sir.....

Good info

Brother nice editing and videography

The initial idea with the tracks sounds like something that was in the Dexter revival?

Awesome!

Buying a camera just for rental purpose is a bit silly to be honest. It's 2024 right now and you can rent it for 450€/day (so I guess it's even cheaper in dollars). In the real estate business it's the opposite, you ll get more years after years. (Btw sorry if my English is not perfect, it's not my first language). For exemple you can find a ARRI ALEXA mini (full kit) for 18000€ in 2024. And ask your rental company, they will always say that if you want to invest for a rental purpose, simply choose a Sony (it's the most rented cameras out there). I would say something else; buy it if you really need it for your projects or simply if you want it (don't overthink about this), especially now at this price. I'm going to buy an Amira, not for rental purpose but only because I always wanted to own an Arri (I shot multiple times with it tho). And at this price I prefer to get this than a Komodo X, a FX9 or a URSA Cine 12k, I'm just in love with the image quality. It's not even a wise investment, I know that but who cares, filmmaking is my passion before being my job ;-)

Josh thank you for capturing such beautiful story of rai community! Today i watched the teaser of road to village and its such eye pleasing cinematography ❤ We really loved your work and glad i found this detail video of explaining scenes and different aspects of filming 🙏😍

Looks dope!

Nice video, man! Springfield, Illinois checking in 🤙🏼

Really enjoyed this BTS breakdown! I’ve done a few shorts now as a cinematographer and I’ve noticed time on set is always the underestimated factor in production. We’ll spend months in pre production to minimize time on set, and still time is always crunched. Can’t wait to shoot something with enough time to not rush - I don’t know if it will ever happen lol Can’t wait to see your short 🙌

So excited !

This is awesome!

Why do you show the whole room? When would you like to talk about Camera? What is the point of having this far away? I didn't see this kind of frame from a cinematographer.

Such a great breakdown of the behind the scenes. Keep up the good work.

hell yeah!

What was your order number? Enjoy your set of lenses!

Nice couch

Cinematography is beautiful ❤

I need to learn 😢

Incredible work!
