    You know, that's why I like your channel more and more. You are not pretentious and you do not even gear slap us in the face. You present us budget things with the pros and cons, but it works and serves perfectly to be creative.
    This is the idea. It's not about the gear! Please do not stop and continue to give us affordable equipment reviews, because most of us are not rich and just want to make good videos and photos without spending tons of money.
    Congratulations!

      Spot on. I think people insensitivitly throw around multi-hundred dollar numbers in too many cinematography/photography videos for components that aren't absolutely essential to be that expensive.

    Just got the 7artisans 25mm f1.8 E mount lens and I am wowed by the sharpness and the focus distance. The Bokeh too is so sweet. For $70 that is a monster lens.

    @johnhmaw 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have one of the 25mm lenses for my G80. I got it with a M4/3 adaptor and it focussed well past infinity and was therefore wasting part of its focus travel. I added two or three 0.5mm copper shims so that it now only goes a tiny bit past infinity and can focus a bit closer. These are cheap to buy on eBay.

    GREAT Reveiw! I have been collecting c mounts for 8 years now. C means Cine and they were used for early movies, not just 16mm.
    One thing: you neglected to show the swirly effects of some of these as they have uncorrected aberrations that make some portraits very interesting.

      I was looking for a cheap alternative to a pancake lens, so would you recommend the 35mm 1.6 version for a more pocketable setup?

    • @dslrvideoshooter
      @dslrvideoshooter  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nice! Glad to be of service. I have some pancake lenses in the works. This would definitely be similar albeit a little longer.

    wow man this is just what I needed, I was looking for some macro and some shallow depth of field but I could not afford the lenses out there but this is just fantastic 23$ on ebay and you can get both macro shots and shallow depth of field. thanks a lot this really made my day

  • @GripUpUK
    @GripUpUK 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a dream. I used to love shooting on my old manual lenses, I had a really nice 28mm but it was just too soft on my FS700. But I'm definitely going to pick up some of these, been desperate for a 35mm for a while! Great video.

    Thanks so much for this. I just ordered my first mirrorless camera and I was dreading getting expensive lenses right away, I will have to buy used and these little suckers will give me nice creative toys to play with while I save up. Plus they are tiny so will still have usefulness when I do get bigger lenses.

  • @flyguy8787
    @flyguy8787 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Also a heads up: the 35mm 1.7 here has a thread size of....35mm. I can't tell you the ridiculous trial and error I just had to go through to figure this out. So 35mm Is the filter/step up ring size you'll need for that one.

  • @YakovGYP
    @YakovGYP 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm having fun with my C-mount lenses. I'll have to try out that 35mm f/1.6, it's the only one I don't have just yet. Great video!

  • @excursioncuts6424
    @excursioncuts6424 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I own the 25mm, it does have a unique, vintage kind of look. That makes sense right now since the faded film/vintage look is trending in photography and video.

    @richardpcrowe 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have and love (among my many manual focus lenses) a Night Hawk 80mm f/1.7 (a security camera lens) that I go for less than $40 NEW! It is a perfect focal length portrait lens for full frame cameras but, really shines as a portrait lens (especially outdoors where I need to blur the background) with a crop sensor camera like my Sony A6500.

  • @zora_tech
    @zora_tech 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    One thing i noticed you didnt mention in the video was that when you put these on a micro 4/3 lens they tend to double the distance. Im still new with camera stuf so i dont rwally know the technical terms but what i meant is that a 35mm lens will act a little bit more like a 50-70mm lens. Which can be something bad but you can get around it by getting a focual reducer but those can get pretty expensive. But other than that this was a great video

  • @ReelHooking
    @ReelHooking 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I believe these lenses would work great with a beast grip pro for the iPhone that has a 37mm tread mount. I’m guessing with a step down ring it would do the trick

    I love the thought experiment, what if computers and smartphones were invented first and paper second? People would be amazed that there were devices they could read in any weather, light-condition, and lasted for centuries. These lenses are also misunderstood. They have a look that can't be obtained with "real" (expensive) lenses. That look is mesmerizing.
    I have a $1,500 Zeiss and a $30 version of one of these. It's hard for me to accept, but I often prefer the image out of the $30 lens. Why? They focus one's attention on the subject. Bokeh and blur make up the rest. They have a look that simply cannot be replicated with any other lens no matter what the cost. What these lenses capture is probably what your eye captures, except your brain fills in the blurry sides. They work really well on the EOS-M too, btw. Like Caleb, I find the 35mm is the sweet spot in these lenses. It gives a look you simply cannot replicate in Photoshop because even though there is a lot of blur, it IS based on focal distances a computer can't figure out from the $1,000 lens. Yes, in instagram you can get similar looks, but again, these are lot sharper and deliver very saturated images compared to a smartphone. In short, the 35mm c-mount is the most important lens I own because it challenges my presumptions about photography and art. That I don't use it more is a testament to my lack of courage because if I'm honest, they produce images I love, no matter what I point them at! Take thie following photo, $1,500 Zeiss or $30 c-mount? www.flickr.com/photos/maxotics/9754099553/in/album-72157635527242324/

    @ToastedSynapseGaming 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi Caleb, I've been using the 35 f1.7 for some time now on the 6500 and I love it, I didn't get any lens hoods options back when I bought it, however I did some simple DIY. I super glued a simple 37 to 49 filter adapter to the plastic lens cap that this lest shipped with (I cut a whole so that the thread of the adapter fits nicely in there) and then I got a generic 49mm lens hood. Everything is now nicely glued together, nothing sticks out (because the camera body adapter in the back is also wider) and it also helps with the flares, not to mention that I can now add Rubber Hoods, ND filters, all kinds of stuff to that new thread I created.
    Also, I want to ask about macro tubes and IBIS in general. (hypothetically) If you are using a 35mm lens and you attach tubing that extends it 10mm more, does the IBIS setting have to be at 45mm? I would love to see you do some testing and talk about this. I presonally have done loads, but I can never tell.

    • @dslrvideoshooter
      @dslrvideoshooter  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nice Toasted! Not sure on the IS options. I usually leave it at 35mm but I'm sure there is a better way to go about it.

    • @territorio_salvaje

      @cinemenico 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There's a 4/3" covering 8mm f/3.8.
      I believe there's also a 16mm... but that probably only covers S16 sensors like the BMPCC.
      You'd need to use ETC if your camera has it, but that kind of negates having a wide lens in the first place...

    No one makes c-mount adapters for Sony A-mounts. Another reason to regret my purchase of a 65Alpha. Maybe I can drill a hole in a Sony Alpha Body cap and glue a c-mount adapter too it?

  • @flyguy8787
    @flyguy8787 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I own the 25mm and 35 1.7 myself. The 35 is awesome as hell. I use them on my Bmpcc and they're great but WARNING to Canon users, they do make a c mount to EF adapter however because of the flange distance it will turn your C-mount lens into a dedicated macro lens with zero ability to focus beyond an inch or so. The 25mm is a little janky and is starting to leave metal shavings everywhere but for a $20 security camera lens its still kind of rad. just be sure to have a rocket blower nearby after dismount

    • @dslrvideoshooter

    • @flyguy8787
      @flyguy8787 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      DSLR Video Shooter haha it's true. it makes me sad that THEY (canon) have even made this an issue for the rest of us. I will never argue with anyone that makes the switch because all of the reasons are always solid reasons. Are Canon mirrorless worth a damn? Knowing zero about them I would assume "not really-ish" since I see no one on TH-cam talking about them much, but I'm curious.

    • @jordanhellwig3924
      @jordanhellwig3924 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Curious about this. I know Caleb used the other 35mm C-Mount with the EOS-M in another video. So is it just the 1.7 where this an issue? Or is this a C-Mount thing?

    • @jordanhellwig3924
      @jordanhellwig3924 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@dslrvideoshooter In your "tiny cinema camera" video, you used the 1.6 C-Mount lens instead of the 1.7. Why would the 1.7 create a macro issue, but not the 1.6? I'm wondering because I'd like to get one of the lenses, and you recommended the 1.7 in this video over the 1.6...but if the 1.7 is unusable on an EOS M, then it's an easy choice.

    Did you test or compare the transmission? I have one of the "Mini 25mm F1.8" C-mount lenses that looks like the small 35mm you have, and it exposes like an F2.8 lens. It also has an extremely curved focus plane. It is not even possible to get the corners focused at infinity.

      @lkfxfotografiavideo177 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bastien Laure look in ebay for 34-52mm adapter ring, use clear epoxy glue to glue it, need to put adapter facing down 👇 then lens front hole inside the center of adapter (lens facing down too) apply epoxy where the lens meets the adapter, just do it on the outside, no need to risk putting glue inside and possibly glue the lens 😓, let it dry overnight and boom!! You can use filters, lens hoods and lens caps, don't forget to buy a lens cap since the lens hood and cap that come with lens won't fit anymore, you're welcome 👌👌👍👋

      Hey Sully, I'd recommend the APS-C covering ones over on AliExpress (make a bundle discount offer inquiry to the store Rocks Photographic Equipment). They have a green circle on 'em and are quite a bit more refined than these (I've had these on the GH2, they're toy lenses, the 25mm f/1.4 is absolutely cringy, but the others are indeed quite alright). Then I had a whole generic APS-C set (including a 8mm f/3.8 that covers 4/3"). And now the green circle ones!

    Wow! Very nice!
    I'm going to get that 35mm f/1.7 for my GX8. It'll be nice for when I don't want to carry the zoom around, plus the macro capability will be fun.
    Thanks!

    Caleb, there is a 25mm/1.8 lens similar in style (and cost) to the 35mm/1.6 that you've shown. It has no vignetting with APS-C sensors, so might be more interesting than 25mm/1.4

    • @cinemenico
      @cinemenico 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yup! Exactly, on AliExpress there's a whole sets of APS-C covering ones, just look for 'CCTV APS-C lens' or something. There's even an 8mm f/3.8 for 4/3" sensor cameras. Rocks Photographic Equipment (a store on AliExpress) and some others also sell certain 'green circle' lenses. They are the latest versions of these APS-C ones and are quite a bit more refined. Total recommendation! Better than that 25mm f/1.4 toy lens with strange milky flares.

    • @claralcortez
      @claralcortez 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey guys, can those Green Circle ones get all the frame in focus or are they just like the Fujian ones that can only focus on the center or the sides?

    • @cinemenico
      @cinemenico 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      They cover APS-C/S35.
      Just not fullframe.

    • @alexadrianov8357
      @alexadrianov8357 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Those 'green circle' lenses are nice, but kinda irrelevant to the Caleb's video, as they cost $60+ (and I would buy 7artisans lens for this money anyway)

    Hi,
    it was a long time...so, first of all, congrats for this concise vid and thanks for the specs and all that help of yours!
    After having bought a used G7 with its 14-140mm ( f/3.5 not enought as my project is to film often in the darkness), quite disappointed by the depth of field (well, I've only used my FZ200 and SX60 for 2 years), I was considering buying the same chinese stuff, Fujian kit from AE (25+35+50mm).
    My greatest fear is about the vignetting, yet.
    Many people out there just put it in one word: 'TOY'.
    So, if it's said being 'cheap' (still, this remains relative, up to me, if it's just some useless junk, compared to other people's priorities), would you still recommend I gave it a try?
    Again, great samples of shots, thank you.
    Sincerely,
    Max

  • @cinemenico
    @cinemenico 7 ปีที่แล้ว +40

    There are a bit better versions on these, still affordable on AliExpress.
    Look for 'Green circle lens'. They're more like that 35mm you've got there, but a tad more refined overall.
    You can also try like looking for 'C-mount APS-C CCTV lens' or stuff like that. AE, but eBay too.
    I like them better than e.g. that 25mm f/1.4 shown here, that to me was the most rubbish lens I ever owned. A real 'toy lens'.

      I have some very nice native E mount Fotasy lenses that are similar: 35mm F1.6 and 50mm F1.8. Both have flat focus planes and are very sharp. Here's the 35mm www.ebay.com/itm/35mm-f1-6-Lens-for-APS-C-sensor-Sony-a6300-a6000-a5100-a5000-a3500-a3000-/322003324217?hash=item4af8e4cd39:g:120AAOSwx-9Wuae8 Yep, $40 shipped.

    • @stickmakerman
      @stickmakerman 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The lens you sent seems to be a rebranded version of the 35mm f1.6 lens he showed in the video and more expensive

    • @cinemenico
      @cinemenico 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have had all three... the super cheap one from eBay. The 'APS-C' blacked out version from AliExpress. The 'green ring' ones. And even the Zonlai 35mm, which is already in the right mount, but probably after C-mount design. There's certainly a difference.

    • @SeanTran
      @SeanTran 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Shiznutsz I clicked on the link for the 35mm f1.7 but it is c mount? Will that work on the sony a6300? Or do I have to buy an adapter? Please clarify i am so confused!

  • @kelloggs77
    @kelloggs77 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I bought the 35mm 1.7 for my G7 (using your link) and must have drawn the short straw. Focus ring just screws of and is almost impossible to focus with. Straight in the bin probably :-(

  • @Illya_Marchenko
    @Illya_Marchenko 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I know the video is kinda old. Title say it's for Sony and Panasonic. Does that mean they'll not work on my Canon M50? I've seen adapters, but wonder what problems this might cause. Too much vignetting? Thanks

    Hi DSLR Video Shooter, after I watched this your video I went ahead and bought the 25mm F1.4 lens but I can't seem to get any visible picture on my GH5 LCD to record. All I see are blurry (bokeh-like) faint lights. I have noticed that the settings of the Panasonic GH5 is much more complicated than the Canon T4i I use to own before. I will really appreciate if you have any suggestions on how I can go about understanding how to set up the GH5 for video (cinema) shooting in general and how to set it up to shoot with native and non-native lenses like the 25mm F1.4 lens. I have read the manuals but that has been of no help.

  • @trevorpinnocky

  • @DanHovington

    Please do a dslr fisheye review....all I can find are super cheap or the canon 8-15mm....we need to find good options for video...being a skateboarder I need a rgeat fisheye but and 1500$ in canada the 8-15mm canon is not a good option because I risk hitting the lens quite often

  • @NecopostTV

    Is the filter thread 37mm? Because the moondog labs anamorphic Lens could maybe fit on the 50mm lens.

  • @joebuslife9275
    @joebuslife9275 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just a warning not all adapters will allow the 50mm 1.4 lens to focus to infinity. certain ones don't allow the lens to screw down all the way limiting it to just 15 feet or so.

    • @dslrvideoshooter
      @dslrvideoshooter  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the info Joseph! I found the NEX adapter that came with the lens seemed to work well. Many 3rd party MFT adapters (not bundled with the lens) had issues though.

  • @OnlineNumberOne
