- Vintage Lens + GH5 // Panasonic GH5 Cinematic Video with a Vintage Lens
Vintage lens for video.
I mount a vintage lens to the Panasonic GH5 to get cinematic video. Using vintage lenses on the GH5 has intrigued me for awhile. This past year I finally bought the adapter and in this video I use the Minolta 50mm Rokkor-X f1.4 on the GH5 and I really like what it produces. This lens was my grandpa's old lens that he traveled the world with and I gave it new life with the Panasonic GH5.

Love it. Getting into vintage lenses just now. I'm on a buying spree. lol.
Same here. I just used that exact lens to shoot a feature film, along with the 28mm telesor f/2.8, also Minolta, both my father's lenses. I found them in his camera bag after he died in 1988. I used them on a Panasonic S5 for the film though. But I'm also using them on my gh5. I have the 35mm rokkor as well. All amazing lenses, right up there with helios. At least in my opinion. :-) great video is always, even though I'm 4 years late. Lol
Love this! Got this same lens in my cine kit I built. With a Tiffin 1/4 black promise can’t beat it
🙌 love it!
this is great taking lens for shooting anamorphic - thanks for your vids!
thanks for watching!
Fellow GH5 Dude!! This is a nice image. The out of focus area has a nice look to it. Older lenses are less contrasty which makes them better for storytelling.
yes! i totally agree with the less contrasty image coming out of those. i honestly really like the soft image it has as well. i might need to find some different focal lengths and try them out. thanks for checking out the vid!
That vintage lens has a sweet look, and the image quality it spot on
i really was happy with how soft the image was. didn’t feel digital ya know. thanks for checking out!
A lot of character for sure.
Hey Caleb, great video. I'm loving the look of that lens! I actually have a Helios 44m that I haven't really used at all. You're making me want to take it off the shelf and put some mileage on it.
DO IT!! just make sure you make a vid so i can see it 🙌
That Corona beer at 3:15. ^^
Nice Video!
thanks for checking it out!
HI Caleb, I Cine Moded out a vintage Minolta Rokkor-X 1.7 sent it to Duclos lenses in CA, and use in the GH5, I love the images, very sharp, adds character and the lens was only $50! Thanks for sharing!
dood that's awesome! i love the vintage lens feel
NICE VIDEO CALEB! TKS FOR SHARING, CHEERS FROM BRAZIL!
Thanks for watching!
Love those light leaks
awesome!
I bought this exact same setup for my gh5. I had a hard time trying to film anything interesting with it lmao. It's a challenge but the manual focus is so damn fun that I want to try it again.
yeah totally! the manual focus is great. i was really happy with how the image looked too!
Love the flaring from the whacking and your composition shots! Earlier this month I brought a vivitar 35mm 2.8 off of eBay and need to shoot with it ASAP. I’m sure you’ll like the 28mm, 35mm and etc to work with but you did amazing with that 50! So amazing to shoot with a family heirloom! Great job! Loving your channel and energy Caleb!
Wow thanks so much Dionne!! I really appreciate that! yeah i think having a couple other focal lengths would be great. I just really loved how soft the image was with that Minolta. It definitely makes me want to explore using a variation in lens selection!
Caleb Hoover can’t wait to see more of the footage you come up with as you explore various focal lengths! ☺️
@@Dionne_Sheree Thanks for coming along on the journey!
Caleb Hoover thank you for sharing it with us!
Can you recommend some lenses around 25mm on a Full frame to shoot video in a low light ?
All I shoot with are vintage lenses. I absolutely LOVE the cinematic look they give!
Sure they tend to be harder to shoot with than more modern glass, but for me the difficulty-to-cinematic-quality ratio is more than acceptable LOLZ
I mainly shoot with the Kiev-16u trio (Tair 41 50mm, Vega 7 20mm, and the MIR-11M 12mm), but I shoot with the Rokinon equivalent to this lens.
Footage is suuuuper cinematic and just right in terms of softness.
Excellent video, as always!
thanks for checking it out!! yeah i really love how soft the image is. i hadn’t really thought about that cuz i’ve been shooting with more modern lenses but man that really stood out to me when looking through the footage on this minolta of how soft is was. i put together a vintage lens challenge. you should jump in 👉 th-cam.com/video/B1LJeHUfgAs/w-d-xo.html
@@CalebHoover Bruhhhhh!
I'm all over this challenge!
@@AfoteyAnnum Dood! Can't wait to check out your vid!
Nice work. I have the 50mm super takumar f1.4 lens. Used in the right context it works great. Not sure I'd be trying it on a client shoot though!
yeah i don’t think i’d use the minolta on a client shoot but it’s fun to play around with!
Love the colors at 4:07 and 4:15. One of the things I did during the pandemic was go nuts on vintage lenses. Anything but the most sought-after will typically be a hell of a good lens with its own characteristic look for a hundred bucks or less. You really need good speedboosters to use them on MFT for walking-around focal lengths, but you'll still pay far less than for a new native lens. It's cheap enough that you can try it and see if you catch the bug. : )
That's awesome man! I used to shoot the hell outta my dads Olympus 50mm f 1.8 it was already over 40 years old when I got it! Good stuff man! Dig the free lensing for some specialty effects. I need to go to a pawn shop and cop a new to me vintage!
yeah man! i love stories and history behind some of these things. i used my dad’s old camera in a dark room photography class in college too and it was amazing. this minolta tho, my gpa used way back in the day and it was fun to mount that on the gh5
@@CalebHoover That's a rad story! Man glass is forever! Until you drop it that is...😕 I'm inspired to do a video about my old Fujinon b4 lens on the gh5. It's crazy!
@@scott.skates yeah man! do that video! i'd love to see it
Vintage lenses can be fun and have a look all of their own. I've a few M42 screw mount lenses and got some adapters for those just to play around, mostly on photos.
Looked like those adapters are a glass free adapters so you have the 2x crop factor. You can get focal reducers (from the likes of K&G Concepts or Viltrox) with a 0.71 factor making the total crop factor 1.44 and increasing the speed by one stop. This means that a 50mm f2.8 on a focal reducer would be more like a 35mm f2.
You can also get cheap tilt adapters to work with vintage lenses (the M42 screw tilt shift/adapter I have doesn't fit on the GH5, but the tilt only adapter does) that allow you to play around with the focal plane and shift the focus around the shot.
Another option is the Helicon focusing adapter - turning the vintage lenses into macro lenses.
i'd love to play around with a tilt shift!
@@CalebHoover the tilt/shift m42 to mft adapter i have is the Kipon Tilt & Shift Adapter www.amazon.co.uk/Kipon-Tilt-Shift-Adapter-Micro/dp/B072L4327X but because of the shifting function it doesn't fit on the GH5 (fits the gx80/85 though). I don't use the shift ability much but its handy if you want to shoot into a mirror, take shots of tall buildings or do a 3 shot panoramic photo where the shots match up better than panning.
The tilt only lens is cylindrical so fits the GH5 (no shift ability). its like this one www.amazon.co.uk/B-I-G-Lens-Adapter-Tilt-M42/dp/B076VLKZKT
Great for doing the toy effect but also useful for controlling what is in focus (e.g. just the faces of the subject with their bodies falling out of focus).
Both of these are to use old fashioned m42 screw mount full frame lenses on the micro 4/3 format making use if that extra image circle ( one great advantage of the 2x crop as you would need a large format lens to do it with a larger sensor - and they aren't as cheap or as easy to come by as m42)
Hey Caleb! Been watching you for a while now and I love your support for the GH5 or basically the MFT systems. I switched to the BMPCC4K some months ago but sill use the GH1 or GX80 for some shots. Can't live with my vintage collection though :) The Canon FD lenses are famous among all filmmakers, did you checked them out? For me I use a set of Minolta glasses. I just love the focus pull on these vintage lenses so MUCH better than the neewer ones. Keep it bro! Greetings from Germany
i love vintage for b-roll style shots. i haven't used much of the FD but i really like the minolta
Bro! You are hard on yourself these shots were beautiful! Great video man 👍🏻
😂 definitely not how i’m used to framing up that’s for sure! thanks man!
Caleb Hoover it’s funny i recorded video with the 85 lens i have and i though about our conversation we had earlier about framing. It is definitely a limit harder to frame telephoto hahaha
@@Ansonandco yeah it's definitely a different feel. i would say usually a 35mm or 70mm equivalent is about as high as i go which i feel still has some give to it.
Caleb Hoover what are you using for your 35 reach? The sigma 18-35?
@@Ansonandco yeah 18-35 or lumix 12-35.
Hi Calab, just picked up on your Minolta 50mm lens on your GH5 video. I have 4 Minolta MD lens left over from many years ago & now shooting on the GH5. Now I know that I can pick up an adapter at a reasonable price and will ask if they will ship to Australia. Keep up the good work as I follow your comments.
The Minolta lens that I have are a 28mm, 50mm, 135mm & a 500mm Mirror, which all should be interesting to shoot with, Currently I have the Panasonic Leica 12 - 60 & the Panasonic Leica 50 - 200 which are both beautiful to use, Roy
sounds like a great lens lineup! i'd love to have a telephoto like that 50-200
I love Minolta glass and use it often on my GH5. Buy a cheap focal reducer on eBay, it makes these even better! 😎
awesome man!! that’s a great tip on the focal reducer! i’ll have to look into that! i just put together a vintage lens challenge - you should jump in 👉 th-cam.com/video/B1LJeHUfgAs/w-d-xo.html
I happened upon an ad (a few months ago) for a OM to M4/3 converter for like £10 and I had a 50mm OM lens sitting on my old OM1n so, for that money, I thought ‘Why not’?
I wasn’t sure how the angle of view would turn out but it’s exactly the same as a M4/3 50mm (compared with my 35-100 set to 50mm). So I now have a (virtually) free - Wide Aperture- 50mm Prime lens which is tiny and produces beautiful video (and Arty photos too I guess). So then I sourced a vintage OM 24mm f2.8 lens (just like the one I used to own and gave away 🤦♂️) which cost me £120 but that’s still the Cheapest lens I have bought for my GH5/G9!
sounds like an awesome set up! thanks for sharing!
Are u still available on social media?
I thought the GH5 had NO CROP 4K - if so, wouldn't the 50mm lens stay a 50mm???
Hi Caleb, what is the setting “without lens” on a gh5? Is it in the menu?
yeah should be right in the menu
damn dude, it looks gooood. I need a gimbal to test out my Yashica 50mm on my GH5. it's a bit shaky with my handheld lol
i think a gimbal would have helped me more too here
Really good, what software did you edit with?
i'm in premiere pro
Have you ever considered using a MD speedbooster?
i actually haven't but I'll have to look into it.
hi can you tll me ifwe have to put 179d for the autofuc today? or 180d? thank you
i found that 180 works pretty good with the 2.6 firmware update. still not perfect tho
@@CalebHoover thank for your answer
As you have shown an interest in the 50 > 200 lens I thought that you may be interested to see this lens works in a real world shoot.
th-cam.com/video/0ZW_EPmvBlM/w-d-xo.html
This clip was shot late November 2018 on the Falkland Islands where we called during a 16 day cruise to Antarctica.
I have more many videos shot on the GH5 while on this cruise if you are interested.
One point of interest is that the GH5 performs brilliantly even when covered in snow at around minus 10c while on the Antarctic Continent.
Roy
yeah it gets cold where i live and the gh5 has been fine all winter outdoors. i'll check out the vid!
Caleb - Have you shot any stills with your vintage lenses?
i rarely take still shots with my gh5 but if i did it would be with this lens for sure
The colors seem muted but oh so cool. What an awesome lens. How do you see 422 footage? Do you use adobe media encoder?
no i don’t use media encoder for it but i probably should. i usually just edit straight up. it would probs take way less of a toll on the machine if i used proxies tho 😂
Caleb Hoover Actually the issue I have is my computer doesn’t even recognize the footage. I am using the free version of Davinci Resolve.
@@FashionableFather oh i hear ya. yeah i can't preview the actual files in finder but it does recognize the footage once i toss it in Premiere. yeah i could see how that would just add an extra step to the process that could be annoying. have you tried encoder or anything like that?
@@CalebHoover I trial versioned an encoder for my last video. Yeah it was another step that was a lil annoying, but boy did I like the footage. I'm feeling that vintage lens.
Can a meta booster fit with any vintage lenses you know about?
i'm not sure if the meta speedboosters fit with some of the vintage lenses but there are several adapters you can get for the vintage lenses.
Metabones makes Speedboosters for a variety of legacy lenses, like Canon FD, Contax/Yashica and Minolta MD. The latter will fit the vintage lens Caleb uses here. However, it won't work with these lenses due to the aperture pin getting in the way:
Minolta MD 24mm F 2.8
Minolta MC 28 mm F 2.5
Minolta MD 35mm F 2.8
Minolta MD 85mm F 1.7
Minolta MD 135 mm F 2.8
Minolta MD 135 mm F 3.5
Minolta MC 200mm F 4
Minolta MD 35-70mm F 4
This is a definite negative as it removes many of the most useful focal lengths and commonly available lenses.
I’ve been buying the EF adapters and then snapping them onto the Viltrox speedbooster, works great.
the crop factor must be at least 3 x with that adapter added on
it’s a tight focal length!
Caleb Hoover I had FD lenses on an aspc sensor t3i and the cropping drove me nuts. If I ever go full frame I’m definitely using vintage lenses. The images are great.
What was going on with that purple color???
yeah i was holding the lens off the mount. it’s called free lensing or lens whacking. let’s some cool light leaks in on the footage
@@CalebHoover ooohhh..ok..but you ONLY do that on vintage lenses?
@@NeroMC you can do it with any lens. sometimes different type of lenses give off different type of colors. i personally like it more with vintage lenses cuz i feel like it has a great home movie feel to it if you can get focus. just detach your lens try it out.
@@CalebHoover i Will try it out ,no doubt... Greetings from Portugal 💪
@@NeroMC make sure you share a link if you post a vid!
Ooooo, I should do a vintage lens video with my A7iii Hmmmm.....I have a vintage Canon Lens that is a 28mm F2.8 full frame. Good idea bro! lol I agree your too hard on yourself.
yeah totally do that vid! i’d like to see it on full frame.. that 28mm that you have would be way more in my focal length comfort zone. 😂 thanks man!
also! i finally used the deity d3 pro with this vid and i really like the audio comin out of that. it was good to finally use it!
@@CalebHoover such a good microphone. I use it in all my studio videos
@@PaulFeinberg do you have an extension that runs directly into your camera or do you use a external recorder. i can't remember if you said that in any of your videos
@@CalebHoover extension and its the normal 1/8 inch and I have to turn the mic on manually. If you get a TRRS it would act normal and would automatically turn on.
Check out my video about vintage lenses as well. I also shoot on the GH5 😊
hey man! yeah i'll go check it out!
Caleb Hoover by the way I am Subscribed to you, so looking forward to watch your videos👍
@@Nqrgaard thanks so much man!
Bruh, how old the lens should be. I don’t got that old but I got one.
yeah i should have defined a vintage lens. I would say anything that is from a film camera and doesn't mount directly to your dslr or mirrorless
Caleb Hoover then I’m counted out for sure. Lol. There some dudes doing your vintage challenge posting. Dude from NYC look like.
Contax zeiss
right on!
