What would be the dream adapter ?
All the links to the adapter are in the description
I will share some cool stuff on Instagram so join me there : instagram.com/mathieustern/
m42 extension tube made of 24k gold
My dream adapter has built in electronics, combined with its own setting ring.
I can connect the adapter to my computer, and program what lens its mounted on.
And through the setting ring, I can manually transfer exif data to my pictures.
Come on, you know you like it ! 😊
Speedbooster to use a Kodak Aero Ektar lens on a full frame camera for that sweet sweet bokeh :)
Micro four thirds on Canon adapter with all contacts working so I could use my Panasonic Leica 100-400 on my Canon EOS 5D mk2.
An adapter that allows me to put old lenses with names I've never heard of on my camera. I got a few at an antique store estate sale and I have zero idea what adapter might even work.
Polarized lens blew me out, such an interesting artifact
Believe it or not, I actually use polarized sunglasses to go fishing, helps a lot!
@@daviddelahoya151 me too!! It was a game changer.
It's actually not that magical. Basically, reflected lights are usually polarized but refracted lights aren't, so if you set the filter to block that specific polarization you remove the reflection.
I mean you can add a polarizing filter to any lens for the same effect
Its not really an artifact...I don't know a single photographer who doesnt have a polarized filter in their kit.
ND filters are just 2 polarized panes of glass. Same thing.
1:00 Originally, it's meant to be a tilt/shift adapter for perspective correction and focus control. You have discovered its undocumented feature :)
Ahhh yes tiltshift one of my favourite
ahhh yes, the 2 genders, tilt and shift
Yes I came here to say this. I have this exact adaptor. It's for tilt and shift. The video showed us neither of these cool effects! At least not until the tilt adaptor. But it did show me something new to use it for, so thanks
Ahh yes remember back in the 83 when we would use photoshop to add color to our photographs
I was confuse at first
It says vintage so I assume this thing exist before digital camera, how they can use Photoshop in those era
Ah yes, merging in photoshop, such a vintage idea! Love the rubber adapter effect, get's some psychedelic vibes!
I remember the first polarizing lens adaptor I got. It was from a pawn shop and cost me around $10. It was just an amazing thing that I used with my oldschool Sony DSC-S50. Don't even know where either of them are at this point.
That vintage panorama lens is stunning
These are all fascinating. I'd heard of tilt shift before because I'm into time lapse technology, but my favourite was the rubber bellow. Such a unique tool!
What a great video with some cool adapters. You're making me want to get more lenses and adapters now, I've spent so much on camera gear already.
XD
Glad it was helpful!
The last one kinda blew my mind, never thought that merging pictures was actually possible-now I gotta start using Photoshop 😂
Didn't know photography was this much interesting. Subscribed.
Glad you enjoyed!
Ah, good to see Destin is a fan!
A mini flex from my side :)
@@MathieuStern Well deserved! Your content stands out.
@@MathieuStern which video was this from?
The rubber adapter is so crazy. Looks ridiculous, but makes such cool Effects. I wonder how hard it is to use. 🤨
You call that flappy, HARD?!🤪
We used to make these out of the rubber seals that go around the wheel steering joints in cars. 1 gasket/seal, 1 old body cap drilled out, one lens rear cap drilled out, couple of hose clips and some hot glue. Looked messy on the outside but it worked and for under $15
the relfection remover one was so cool! and the flexible one and the one that focuses with tilt! so cool....
3:38 it totally looks like someone is throttling the flowrate of the creek and then opening it back up again. The polarizer is trippy!
That Stretch macro focus adapter looks insanely useful. I really want to use my vintage lenses for my toy photography work, but its always such a pain fiddling with extension tubes trying to find the right length. Looking at Fotodiox's selection though, I'm not seeing any models that match my mounts :/
It's weird to me there aren't more adjustable macro tubes like that
have u invested in a macro lens yet after 6 months of posting this comment? 😂
@@AlexanderRay92 OM had a variable ext-tube 40 years ago.
Genius thumbnail! But the adapter can actually make for some great and unique shots!
Haha, I hope the thumbnail doesn't get censured :))
I'm getting that m42 tilt shift immediately, thanks Matthieu!
Good choice!
I have the ND fusion with built in 1-8 stop VND for my L mount cameras. I love it. I have been thinking about the tilt and the polarizer ones for some fun shots
brooo, the one that takes off the reflections is awesome!
Most of those lenses are no longer needed because photo editing programs will duplicate the same desired results, but the built in polarizer which captures fish on the surface of a pond is definitely a lens adapter I would love to get, as it does a better job than your typical screw on UV filter at cutting the haze and reflection on the water.
I didn’t even know there was a shift adapter! That looks awesome!
Had a Vizelex Polar Throttle on my A7C, and the results were not too shabby. Unfortunately it tended to become loose during normal operation, there seems to have been a problem with the locking mechanism between adapter and camera. That may have been a fault of the individual copy I bought, but I ultimately decided to return it.
Very interesting adapters and what a joy it is to sit back and have them all demonstrated in such a pleasing video. Thank you for your efforts and the superb job you did creating the best possible footage for the demonstrations, as well as the video editing, choice in music etcetera. Just brilliant and thanks for sharing!!
these photos really make me want to get back into photography.
This has to be on of the coolest lens videos I have seen in a while
oh wow that medium format adapter is super interesting in use, especially for portraiture~ thanks for showing these off~ these are super cool!
My pleasure!
@Mathieu Stern is there anyway to het that rubber billow/tilt shift thing effect on a system camera? I love your videos but I shoot with a Sony a7 III and I was wondering how you got those dreamy circular bokeh portraits in the forrest
Oh wow. Never been so early to one of your videos. This is a good opportunity to let you know that I love and appreciate the content you put out. You're amazing.
You're the best Sherif !
Gorgeous shots. A lot of these look very goofy but what you've pulled off is an excellent demonstration of each use.
The rubber bellow extension was so beautiful! Gotta get my hands on one
I love it!
Great... More equipment to resist to buy immediately 😭
Love the panoramic, polarized & medium format ones!
Smarter everyday and Mathew stern are some of my favorite channels. Love it than you know each other s
Love that panoramic adapter will for sure be getting one. thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
The panorama one and the full frame one at the end are incredible!
The Vizelex Polar Throttle is really neat!
I need to try that RhinoCam Vertex adapter! Looks awesome. Specially for portraits. Cheers from Mexico Mathieu!
wow thats really cool
Man! How come you don’t have like 3 million followers your content it’s top! I’ve discovered your channel today and my motivation went overboard. I have a small shop for vintage analog cameras in Dubai I definitely should start to do some videos about the hidden gems I find time to time. Thanks man!
If you find some cool stuff you can send them my way and we work on some cool videos
@@MathieuStern beautiful !
Love Fotodiox and the lenses
I have a cool adapter that lets me use my binoculars as lenses for a D800 body. Quality is not great but it's fun for experimentation. Thanks for showing me so many new options to me.
the results from the panorama and the rubber one looked pretty good
Awesome video! The panoramic and large format are really interesting!
Absolutely awesome man! Your timing in your uploads lately to my current point in photography helps alot man keep it up!🙏🏾love you're videos!
Happy to help!
That ROKR adapter is super versatile... one use for a future video is to shoot straight into a mirror but hide the camera off to the side ; )
Ahh nice... Smarter Every Day Dustin! It's like when you find out regular dad and weekend dad are pals and hang out and play squash.
2:08 The same dude appears in the photo twice... Matrix confirmed ahaha Nice video! I had no idea some of those adapters existed!
Man you can really get some sick cinematic looking shots with the panoramic adapter 😦
This makes me miss shooting with a 4x5 view camera. I used to do commercial product and portrait shoots with one. Being able to easily do things like perspective correction, macro photography, selective focus, etc., was really easy when you could move the front plane of the camera (with the lens) independently of the rear plane (with the film). I had a few adapters like the ones here for my Hasselblad as well.
Of course, now you just shoot the basic photo and then you digitally manipulate it to create these effects, so you have even more options available to you. I miss shooting on film, but I like being able to manipulate the image in different ways without spending money on film and processing.
Thank you for your beautiful work.
Thank you so much for sharing! Great video creation congratulations! Fantastic creative solutions! Super good music background! I wish you and everyone another successful day in strength, health and peace!
👍🍀🇭🇺🌞☝️
Refreshing to see "please consider subscribing" rather than other videos that demand it, so I have! :)
Welcome aboard!
Polar Throttle will be very useful on older lenses where the entire front assembly rotates with focus. Pola filter on such a lens must be readjusted constantly. Polar Throttle solves it!
Those where all pretty interesting effects, but the filter with the water was nothing else than magic!
The built in polarizer is really cool. I love my cpl filter, but having it hang in front of the lens is just annoying. Especially if your front element rotates while focussing.
polarizer was amazing, i was shocked for sec, it looks it was doing magic
I thought the shift adapter is quite useless since it only supports APS cameras, but now I saw that the lens can cover a panaroma. Definitely gonna try it myself. I wish there’s a way to quickly test how big a lens can cover though.
You can find on the internet what the image circle of a lens is for a lot of them.
Love your videos dude! Consider adding time code sections into the description of your video so your playback gets divided by each individual product you review, allowing the viewers to jump ahead to the ones they want to see without the guess work. Cheers!
The rubber bellow was my favourite. It's just so nutty! I want one 🤣
My dream adapter would be a speedbooster to use a Kodak Aero Ektar lens on a full frame camera for that sweet sweet bokeh :)
Lovely video Mathieu!
You always show something great in these videos.
Super! Thanks for sharing! Great video creation! Super informative lens tutorial! Good day!
👍🍀🇭🇺🌞☝️
Shet in the thumbnail got the droop snoot goin
When I saw the rubber adapter, I thought, what kind of crap is that? But then my jaw dropped. Absolutely amazing photos.
Inspiring as always. Thanks!
Cool adapters. I thought this was going to be like "yeah these were only sold in Russia in the 1950's now they sell for $2000", but links in the description. Nice.
Thank you. A great video Photodiox pro panoramic i go for it
Wow, I was not that much into photography, but I was so curious till the end. This is really interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That anti water reflection one is insane
I'm really glad you worked with destin from smarter everyday
Two of my favorite channels 😀
I hope to see more 🙏
More to come!
The idea of taking medium format photo on a full frame camera is awesome. So creative!
I like the panoramic lenses. Love you're videos, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Those are so awesome… I didn’t know these were a thing
Those polarizing filters are used in photogrammetry (taking multiple pictures og an object to convert into a 3d model) to get clean data with no variation with reflections
That polarizing lens is just magic.
cool vibe that vid has
i'm really amused by the panoramic lenses, it gives such a amazing feel
it would have been nice to see a video using the rubber bellows, maybe with a picture in picture showing it being manipulated as the video is being taken, to show how focusing looks. seems like something that would be hard to steady, but really wild!
I see you were in kenosha, Wisconsin seeing the lighthouses at the end!
Good experiment with old lens.
Thank you! Nice effects I knew of but didn't know there were adapters to make them easier to do! Will that TS adapter give the miniature look to landscapes too?
These are all just clever adapters! Love it!
Thank you for the nice video Mathieu 😊
For tilt shift adapter it is better use medium format lenses, to avoid vignette and bad performance on the ages, I love Photodiox tilt shift with Mamiya lenses.
Vertex is absolutely amazing adapter, I bought it after your video, once they released Mamiya 645 adaptor to nikon Z.
After about a half year I am managing making my daughter's portraits even if she moves a lot, just remove any straps and L brackets from camera so you can rotate it very fast...🤣👌still it is a challenge though...
Polarizers also make sky darker in particular sun-related directions.
This was a really cool video! I loved the panoramic adapter, such beautiful images.
Thanks a lot!
So good for filmmaking
Really cool I wish we tried to hold on to some technologies like these also types of film and film development I learned a little bit when I was in high school in 2002 but now it seems like all of that knowledge is going to be lost eventually
Excellent vid!
tilt shift len Good demonstration
This video will hit 1M
let's hope !
I have MD Minolta 35-70 f/3.5 macro 1:4 , really want that Fotodiox mount. But it is really rare in Vietnam
The RhinoCam Vertex I’ll probably get this year when I don’t want to travel the states with my Pentax 645N, but my Pentax is so close to my heart I may not even get it. The convenience of a larger image via Canon and not a medium film camera is stupendously helpful though.
Excelent video! I love tha song at the end of the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you. Really enjoy this!!!
Nice! :)
Have a good week!
I am interested to see a long exposure shot on the Vizelex Polar Throttle
Can someone explain why I'd want the panoramic adapter or the medium format adapter when I can just... point my camera normally to capture lots of areas and stitch it all together?
Thanks I had to look all comments to find someone smart enough to say this
The ingenuity behind this engineering really inspires
The video just started, and I'm already f*&king loving this!
A better use of the FOTGA tilt shift is for Scheimpflug effect, if the lens has the coverage for it.
I wonder what the sliding adapter would look like through video. Could it be some sliding effect? The rotating adapter might be interesting too...
Maybe, if you turn (pan) the camera while you shift the slider in the opposite direction you can start with a perspective-corrected view where lines are parallel and have the perspective lines grow more and more convergent. I think such an effect might look interesting if you could do it vertically, to have a building appear taller and more imposing. Something like a vertigo effect, except it's the perspective lines that are moving.
Also, only shifting the lens while keeping the camera still would give you a parallel-moving panoramic view.
As always, great video again👍
