I really like the soft edges. I feel that it works in certain use cases to bring in attention to the centre. Obviously if we're talking about objective quality, then this lens isn't going to stun you, but it creates this dreamy look which I like.
Nice touch starting the video already using it. I was surprised how usable the quality is in the center of the image. This will probably be way better with an APS-C crop.
Hey Andrik, I just found your channel and I wanted to make sure you understand that your channel will blow up in no time. Stay consistent my brotha and you'll get there. Your quality and content are just way too underrated. Subbed.
@@AndrikLangfield Thank you. All good. Do these screw on the filter threads? I wasn’t sure if that’s how they work. I have a 67mm filter thread lens so I’d guess I’d need to find one with that size threads.
The extent of degradation of IQ depends on the specific lens and converter combination. I found that the Vivitar 0.43x 58mm Wide Adapter with Macro works great on the old cheap Nikon AF 28-80 f/3.3-5.6 G full-frame plastic lens from the end of the 35mm film era, but not that well with anything else I had on hand. It might work well with the Canon EF 28-80 also - I didn't have one to test. However, on the Nikon AF 28-80 it is pretty sharp edge-to-edge even on FX bodies - converting it to a 12-35 ultra-wide zoom with very slight vignetting at 28 x 0.43 that goes away at 30 x 0.43. There's no detectable vignetting and minimal CA with this combo on DX bodies. The only minor downside is that the 28-80 requires a body with the spindle-motor AF drive, but manual focus works on any body with focus confirmation in the viewfinder. Highly recommended for an ultrawide combo with acceptable IQ that doesn't break the bank - one can experiment on composition, framing, technique, etc. *before* splurging big money on a real full-frame ultrawide. I spent about ~$15 on the 28-80 and another ~$15 on the Vivitar 0.43x, both pre-owned in ex++ condition, and it's probably the best ~$30 I've invested in FX glass, ever.
I tested it and it works. I LOVE the way it looks but I don't like the chromatic abortions. I'm on a quest to find a converter with little to no aborations so let me know if you find one.
@@rowando_productions as for one with no imperfections there is no other way other than going to a rehousing centre where they can develop one there. But maybe if you find a dogshitz snider adapter you can maybe use a step up ring
Unfortunately I dont have a link, my dad found these at a thrift store, they are really common at used stores and they are all pretty similar in build quality.
Great video, I wanted to know if autofocus still worked with a WA adapter and you answered my question. Absolutely no clear answers any where else on this. Thanks!
Hi! Sorry if this is an annoying question but what did you figure the thread size on the 0.6X converter? I just got the same one (from a flea market lol) and I need to get a step up/down ring to fit my 49mm filter thread size. Cant find that info anywhere lol Thanks!
Great idea, I had never tested it and just did to see what would happen and the results were pretty cool. The only macro lens I have is the apsc 60mm 2.8 by Canon so what I did was I adapted the Canon 60mm 2.8 on my FX3 so it did have a little vignetting which is manageable and then put a x.06 wide angle adapter and it worked really well. The close focus was inside the wide angle lens meaning I focused on the dust on the front of the wide angle adapter and beyond it, so for example I placed it facedown on my cellphone and focused right up to the screen, if that makes sense, and then made my phone screen go out of focus by focusing closer than that. lol thanks for the idea, I'll definitely be using that combo more often 👍🏼
I haven't personally tried it on a 28mm, is the 28mm on a full-frame camera? You'll definitely get vignetting like in the video, I had it on a 35mm on a full-frame sensor but just cropped it in a bit to remove it.
@@whosjozikolnik Oh yea, in that case, it may be hard to ignore it. Especially if you want to include any of the film borders, you won't be able to crop it at all in post.
@@AndrikLangfield I crop out film borders and I don't mind having a bit of the vignette, it's supposed be another element of the photo and what you had for example, was fine but I'm really not sure what a 28mm lens would do and I can't afford to try without knowing. anyway thank you for the insight:)
Will you please make a video on film grain ? When to use, how to use & all please & also if you can provide any free film grain will you please do ???? 🙄🙄
I know the feeling, which lens do you have? I recently got the Sigma 24-70 and that has an 82mm so now none of my filters fit on it other than my matte box lol

@@AndrikLangfield amazing. what lenses did you use?
@@DilaurentisGomezDylan I'm pretty sure I was using the Sony 35 1.8 in this video :) thanks for your comment 🙏🏼
Hey man, would the wide angle lens affect the focusing motor long term? I'm thinking of getting one, but I'm worried it might destroy my lens
Cool. I’m curious if you can share the exact brand/model of converter you have? Thanks!
Hey Josh, unfortunately, it only says it's a wide converter made in Japan. I got it from a thrift store. They all are pretty much the same :)

Love this!! Just bought one..been looking for a wide lens for the past week and I love this option. Thank you!
You're welcome! Hope you enjoy it, it's definitely fun to use :)
I don't understand is the converter which gives that cinematic look? or the other overall equipments
A little combination of everything. Lighting, camera, framing, the lens, the converter has some effects, the color grade, etc :)
Have you tried this for crop sensors camera? I want to get an ultra wide for it but want to try this since I don't shoot that wide that often.
Yes I have some crop cameras and it does the same effect as a full frame cameras. What's your widest lens you own right now?
@@AndrikLangfield 17mm
So 25mm full frame equivalent
@asahi.w Makes sense, so yeah, if you were to get one like the one I had, which was a .6 it'd be like a 15mm equivalent.
Very interesting Landrik. I’ve always wondered about these converters. Thanks
Hey, thanks for the feedback. I had also always wondered, so I was happy to try them out :)
@@AndrikLangfield 👊🏽
Do you think the RCA 0.6x would fit well with the helios 44-2 when using a step up ring?
Also on a full frame sensor as well
I tested it and it works. I LOVE the way it looks but I don't like the chromatic abortions. I'm on a quest to find a converter with little to no aborations so let me know if you find one.
@@rowando_productions just a another question, does it really turn into a 40mm equivalent ff lens since 58x 0.6=40-ish mm?
@@rowando_productions as for one with no imperfections there is no other way other than going to a rehousing centre where they can develop one there. But maybe if you find a dogshitz snider adapter you can maybe use a step up ring
@@rowando_productionsdid you ever manage to find one? 🤞🏽
whtas the amazon link for the one you using? is it x0.43 wide?

I've a Canon 50mm prime lens.What size(diameters) lens converter should I buy ???
Hey a bit late but i bought 0.45 and it doesn’t do much to my 50mm prime lens. Maybe try the 0.35
How about adapting this to a macro lens.
Great idea, I had never tested it and just did to see what would happen and the results were pretty cool.

sorry, didn't mean the thumbs down, I meant thumbs up! great video!
Hey, thanks so much for the comment! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Why didn't you stop down to f8 or f11
Soft focus can be overcome by a smaller f-stop.
do you think a 28mm lens is too wide for this? (in a sense that the vignette would be too strong)
great video btw:) very informative

good break down bro
Thank you! 🙏🏼
bro include links to the converter you used
This one was from a used store. It's just called a "Wide Conversion Lens x0.6 Japan"
Does it works in 35mm full frame prime lenses ?
Yes. This particular one you can and this video was shot on the a7iii. You will probably get some vignetting, but you can crop in if you're in 4K.

Hey, great video idea, yes, I'll look into making that in the future :)
@@AndrikLangfield thank you sir 🙏🏻❤️
Interesting...it really feels anamorphic.
Yeah, it’s got some similar qualities!
