@@furkanaltun2116 exactly. I dont think these lenses were used to cover full frame, but cooke lenses don't have edge to edge sharpness... corner fall off helps add 3rd dimension feel.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Seems to work best with foliage behind your subject - what a superb effect, a great find, and well adapted. I've come close to something as weird by shooting through the bottom of a whisky glass - but only after consuming its contents ;-)
That is so cool. I am not even a big photography buff but I love the experimentation in this channel. I have been doing similar experiments but in order to find cheap odd sources for telescope eyepieces, and I have used lenses from things like data projectors, laser printers, and CD drives. I have also found that some old scanners come with camera lenses in them, as they have a small line sensor a couple inches long instead of as wide as a sheet of paper as most do today. These lens assemblies can be surprisingly large, the largest I found being an inch in diametre and one and a quarter long. The large ones have too long focus for a telescope eyepiece, but will probably work on a camera, which I have never tried.
Here: th-cam.com/video/vyjzCypKH7Q/w-d-xo.html you have a movie of my production. As a projector lens focusing adapter, you can use a Helios 44-x drawn lens and aperture. This is how I adopted the LOMO 16KP 50mm F1.2 lens - also from the projector. I am sorry that I do not have a movie in English but maybe you will understand something visually.
You need tkonw the working distance frrom the lens end to focal plane, depending of that you chouse focusing helicoid (most ussually 17-31mm), which you will use for focusing + 2 or more addapters - one for attaching lens to helicoid, other for attaching helicoid to camera. depending on lens diamater, there are differend diameter helicoids - M42, M52, M65. for light lenses you can use cheap helicoids found on ebay, alyexpress, for heavy ones, hq helicoids with brass inner core. adapters are usually hard to find, either maka/adapt yourself,or buy hq ones @rafcamera + not all such lenses can be added to DSLR, becouse of short flange focal distance or made for 16mm film projectors, which will not cover the fullframe sensor something like that in short
I was trying to find it on ebay, and I didn't find the exact same lens, but what I can tell you is that one of these benoist berthiots, which is in very good shape, goes for almost a 1000 american dollars. Most of them, are around 250. Still what you got is a steal, I mean two euros!!!! Looks beautiful.
I stumbled upon this video not knowing I'd end up feeling this way. It's like I was there with you. Crazy, at first I thought it was distracting but the more you look, the more it's like a dream. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Also see "vintageglas" on eBay: He's a German who 3D prints LTM39 (rangefinder) and M42 (SLR) adapters for many old leaf shutter camera lenses. He is very careful to maintain proper flange focal distances on his rangefinder and SLR products. I have several of them and they are fine pieces of work - shipped with 3D printed shades and caps. As a bonus, "vintageglas" lenses have diaphragms and (typically) front cell focusing, so they are not as limiting in use as are adapted projection lenses.
Actually you're half wrong. Pretty soon AI will be able to deliver this effect. But you're also half right: this is art and it was amazing to watch the clip :)
That is a very, very beautiful effect. Congratulations for seeing its potential. Someone should use that as a concept for an effects lens and market it. Certainly beats Lens Babies.
For a few shots, I had a combination of the feeling of eye strain and a hint of nausea. It really is "dreamy" but slightly unpleasant in some cases. I did recover enough to enjoy the shots of crepe-making, thankfully!
Hi Matt, I have always loved your videos where you adapt the most peculiar lenses to modern digital cameras. I have been very interested in the focusing adapter you use for some time so thank you for telling us the name of it in this video. Was just curious if you had any recommendations for which of the helicoid adapters you would call the most adaptable, as i notice they come in M52 to M42 as well as M42 to M42. Thanks again for a great video.
Mathieu Stern ah good, that is the one i was considering, brill. Would you also say the longer the extension range the better? E.g. 35-90mm. Thanks for the speedy reply mate :)
Man, I wish I could find this lens!!! I bought the New Lomography Petzval lens for this purpose but it is nowhere near this swirly. I wish these projector lenses were easier to come by.
Question : I got an 50mm projection lens it works from on my apsc sensor but not on full frame , full frame don't cover the corner so can you tell me how you pix that
Yesterday I bought a Benoist Berthiot 50mm 1.5 Cinestar N1 in my local thrift shop for 5 euro. It seems to just cover apsc. Now testing it with a macro tube and some tape on an old Nex3.
So far the result is I'm gonna need to make a better adapter, it's nothing like the 2.8 85/90mm projector lenses I converted this way earlier. It's very difficult to focus and tilts too easily. Since it just barely covers the sensor, the tilting makes the corners go black. I'm thinking it needs a tube that fits more snugly, maybe with some cloth padding to create some friction to keep it in place.
I was wondering if I was able to find one of these lenses if you would be willing to help me 3d print the foucus ring adapter? I really love the look of this lens. You did a great job with capturing the essence of this lens.
Hey! I've got a Friend who managed to find one of these lenses! Can I get the STL to print the adaptor for him? I couldn't find a link in the comments or description. Thanks!
Try the elgeet cine navitar 2 inch f1.5(50mm f1.5)! If you can get your hands on it. It's a very rare c-mount lens and very sharp with crazy bokeh! Toby Marshall has a gallery on the lens.
Hello, Amazing videos. your channel is so different and full of creativity. Do you by any chance know of a sharp vintage 24mm lens that can be adapted to a Sony A7Riii with an autofocus adaptor? Thank you
I've seen small amounts of the swirly effect from a Minolta MD (manual focus) 35mm f/2.8 W.Rokkor-X. They're actually one of the more expensive Minolta lenses from that era because they have such great image quality in other ways.
I love the swirly look of something like the Helios 44 lenses. And I have a strong stomach. But the shots at the beginning of the video almost made me nauseous. Too dreamy! Haha. Some of the other shots were very nice, but still very fever-dream-like rather than a soft or heavenly feel. It's the look of disappearing memories.
Filmmaker: “So how is the corner sharpness?”
Cinestar 75MM: “No.”

Cool lens but I'm more impressed by the range of engaging scenes in a 4 minute clip.
Don't know much about cameras, photography or whatever but that shot at 2:26 is amazing. Oozing quality.
Just about to post the same thing... How is that even real?!?!?!?
It’s so dreamy! And the music that goes with the video.. it’s like I’m looking at someone else’s life from another dimension.. it’s hard to explain

It's so absurdly dream-like. From shot one my hair was on end. Great choice of music and editing (as usual).
Worth it just to see how crepes are made. Seriously, the swirly bokeh in the tree lined path was fantastic. Thanks for the video!
yea Crepes making is always fascinating
If the lens is The Swirly Bokeh Emperor, then you are the The Swirly Bokeh Maestro!!!!
Best comment!
_Woow this distortion is awesome😍 And this lens is a dream!_
Holy shit, you italicized an emoji. This is revolutionary
_🤔🤔🤔🤔_
Something so nostalgic, almost melancholic about this look. It looks more like what the human eye actually sees, perhaps?
You need your eyes checked
Yeah, sure kid Your brain filters out what real vision looks like, such as your nose you can now see in your vision.
So glad you popped into my recommended two weeks ago. 📷

At 0:56 i literally went "ooooh jeez!"
This lens produces some insane footage. Another wesome video!
Ooo jeez rick
How are you doing these self made adapters? Aww man this is so creamy oof!
Would love a video on how to adapt these
I'm very interested too. Maybe you could do a video about that? I would love to put some old lenses on my 5D. Thank you :)

I don't think there's a phone camera that could do this effect flawlessly with motion yet, this is really well done. :D
true, or maybe a broken phone :))
Well no need to even replicate it thought software
It just matter of optical design
Good video, dreamy lens, beautiful island - I believe it's called Ushant in English. Would love to visit.
Круто! Где вы берете такое стекло?
Wow! What an incredible mesh of distortion, blur and sharpness. Such a beautiful effect well done!
Ok... Shut up and take my money!! I want it!!! You did a great job
You always have me watching in awe. I would love to make this lens
Great lens mathieu and I enjoy every new video that you put out keep them coming 😊👍🏻
Beautiful Work Mathieu!
It's so melancholic and dreamy at the same time that it makes me wanna make something like this😢
The effect you've got from that lens is so good it looks like it's filmed with CGI for the background
Your videos are always a pleasure to watch 🥰 amazing job on the adaptor!
Wow. It's like this lens has human soul. Nostalgic and melancholic.
New sub here. This is stunning ❤️❤️
What camera do you have the lens mounted to around the 00:38 point?
It looks like a version of the A7, but it also doesn't.
That's been in my head, just as you written

and it cost me 2$ ... so yes better than 500$ lens babies
What camera did you mounted on this lens?
Simply fantastic!
Thank you for your catalytic creativity
I’ve watched a few of your videos before, but this one made me subscribe 😍
The look this gives really feels like I'm looking back in time. Amazing Video!
back in time a week ago for me :))
Great images - another Petzval design lens I guess. Very well done!
At first I was like .. wow .. after a minute I went to .. OMG my eyes started hurting. That bokeh is making me go crazy.
For a few shots, I had a combination of the feeling of eye strain and a hint of nausea. It really is "dreamy" but slightly unpleasant in some cases. I did recover enough to enjoy the shots of crepe-making, thankfully!

m52 to M42 will leave you more room to adapt any weird diameters.
M42 to M42 is for well .... m42 lenses

This looks dreamy! Beautiful and unique
Wow, what a surreal, dreamy look. Incredible!
Your photography is very engaging. Loved this.
Really nice effect. It gives the image such depth!
Wow Mathieu, Magical look and magical island scenes. Thanks again!
what a magical feeling this lens gives off, i'd love to see more footage from it!
Do I need particular lenses for the swirling effect or can I use any old projector lens?
Man, I wish I could find this lens!!! I bought the New Lomography Petzval lens for this purpose but it is nowhere near this swirly. I wish these projector lenses were easier to come by.
I'd fall in love with that bokeh.
How did you manage to have a correct exposure in exterior? Did you used some nd filters?
They need to keep making these. They’re amazing but there should be an easier design and easier way to get one
cool lens ! you should put a tilt shift adaptor on it and see what happens !!
A comforting, dreamlike feel.
Absolutely love it. How were you able to shoot the video in sunlight though? ND filters?
What is the lense? Where might I start my search for one?
i have been searching for this exact term for months on end
i finally found it
2:59 the crepe-maker really tingle my OCD for not doing it in one run
Such a talent. Enjoyed both the lens and even more - how you make a use out of it!

Looks soooo unreal 🤯 it's fantastic.
I don’t suppose you’re selling any? This looks right up my alley!
Please, can you tell me if you know, the flange distance of this lens? I would love to adapt on my Nikon D700!
It feels like you’re watching a flashback of your past memories!
You are amazing creativity!
I'm curious what is at 2:59? Galette au sarrasin?
a mix of sarrasin and crepe batter
Any possibility to buy one
The crepe at the end made me so happy. ☺️
Hey! I've got a Friend who managed to find one of these lenses! Can I get the STL to print the adaptor for him? I couldn't find a link in the comments or description. Thanks!
Reminds me of one of my cctv lenses on my m43 sensor bodies. Love that look.
What is the original mount?
Very awesome Effect, especially the narrow Trail in the Forrest, is like entering a Magic World, great Idea. 👍🏻
How does it perform in apsc sensors?
It's just amazing and really drawing, because it creates this hypnotic effect and I really couldn't take my eyes off the video.
The music and footage in this vid makes me flipping happy and inspired! 🔥🤯😁
Thank you for sharing this beautiful clip!!
How do you cover up the logo on the camera
😲😲😲 Ooo my.. That's the most beautiful bokeh ever I saw
What's the aperature max out at?
Very nice lens. A reverse projector?
not reversed, front side in the front
@@MathieuStern thanks. Love from India.
You should do test and reviews on Lensbaby products
first few shots are intriguing and meditative!
how can I get this, its amazing
Try the elgeet cine navitar 2 inch f1.5(50mm f1.5)! If you can get your hands on it. It's a very rare c-mount lens and very sharp with crazy bokeh! Toby Marshall has a gallery on the lens.
Could you replicate this effect in software?
This would be dead ass cool to shoot some "dream footages" in movies
How you blacked out you Sony A7?
Hello, Amazing videos. your channel is so different and full of creativity.
Do you by any chance know of a sharp vintage 24mm lens that can be adapted to a Sony A7Riii with an autofocus adaptor?

I wanna see portraits with this lens.
Love your videos! Keep it up!
Moi je suis resté bloqué sur la bague de focus dont je connaissais pas l'existence. Ça a l'air génial ce truc pour la macro !
Hey Mathieu where do you get the design template for the adapter for 3D printing from?:)
hello! where can i buy such a lens?
How did you black out your camera?
Have you ever encountered a wide angle swirly bokeh lens?
dot

i love the 3dimensionality that bokeh effect gives those images
Do you know any M42 that can produce an image similar to this?
I'm after that crazy look but I can't find anything. Helios 44 maybe?
