@@fredr. .. totally agree! It’s why I’m a patreon supporter of his (extra content like this!).. and I feel guilty that I’m not paying more per month than the cost of a coffee at Dunkin Donuts! I’m learning SO much!!
REALLY enjoying your content and your story and very much liking the fact that you have made a video on cheap lenses that are ACTUALLY cheap unlike 90% of TH-camrs who throw on a catchy title then tell you about a £1,500+ lens.. keep at TH-cam, very refreshing content!
I Like that bit of irony in the presentation of your new hat! If I was a film director I could find you a role to play! Interesting on the lens présentation too but I got more than I need cause I tend to hold on to my stuff.
😅 Brother, I LOVE your nice blend wisdom and humor (that "crop" visual had me laughing!), and your editing is awesome. Your M50 footage has a magical quality about it, and I dare say it looks very cinematic, even your talking head shots. Your practical, no-nonsense, sage personality, your facial expressions and attire, and your surroundings there, all create a very nice feeling that feels like home to me. I'll be re-watching your videos many more times, as they are filled with gems. Infinite Thanks! 🙏🏾💎
Hi Drew, hope you’re doing ok. Another excellent video. I love your selection of lenses and will definitely be hunting a few down. Equipment can be so expensive and I love the fact that you’re offering people some great alternatives. I have so many vintage cameras and lenses and they never stop surprising me with the amazing results you can get on a budget. Thanks for another truly thoughtful, helpful and inspiring video. You stand out head and shoulders on TH-cam and are the only photography channel I get truly excited about nowadays. All the best, David
David Wheater - Wow David what a lovely comment! Yes I find that even some older lenses which may not necessarily be optimal for stills photography can often have beautiful qualities for video. The cheaper the better sometimes! I hope life is treating you with kindness my friend. You're a good soul - and it comes through in your videos. Drew
@@loneshootr Thanks Drew. It has been a roller-coaster ride the last wee while, as it has for most, but I'm ready for better times, and as long as I've got my camera I'll be ok. I've doubled down and tried to improve the next set of videos, but I still feel I've got a lot of work to do. I guess it just takes time. Hope thinks are ok with you and I really look forward to seeing more of your beautiful videos soon. All the best, David
TMIDD - ...and what a channel man! I paid you a visit, watched Myles From Home and BTS videos. You guys have an awesome vibe about you - plus you a damn good photographer. Subbed, naturally. Hope you get that A7Siii soon my friend - it'll be in good hands.
Just stumbled on your video. Not a professional by any means but I do love to shoot photos and video. I have somewhat of a vintage lens collection and i will agree with you that the Helios is an outstanding lens and should never be let go, which I did. I will be sticking around and have just subscribed because I really like your vibes. Perhaps you will convince me to start my own youtube channel which I have been putting off for the past 7 years!
Bayou Josh - ah Josh brother... your videos are the exception here - the video quality, narration, cinematography, your work is Netflix ready. I watch your videos on a big monitor and it's a beautiful experience.
You know I love you Drew, but I disagree with your statement "this is TH-cam, not Netflix". Man, you know you can pull a very good short film with these lenses 😁
Folks we need to push this channel up where it belongs. The Sky!
Mohammad Aqeel - Wow! You are very kind my friend 😊 Thank you.
I discovered his channel yesterday "by accident" . The man has very impressive cinematography and storytelling skills.
Couldn't agree more.

"It's TH-cam not Netflix". Thank you for this reminder. But You forgot to mention about the microphone you are using. With headphones your voice is 👌.
Fred Romain - Ah you're very kind Fred, thank you. The microphone is just a Rode Video Mic Go on the camera about a metre away.
Goddamn it's nice to see that there is a real human being on this planet. Thanks for doing what you do. Saving YoutTube one video at a time, brother.
Aw thanks Matthew - very kind.
@@loneshootr you’re most welcome.
Yep thank you I got the 44-2 after seeing your video so happy I did 🤩🙏🏾 now time to check EBAY 🤣👍🏾🙏🏾
Patrick Levar - excellent! Enjoy that Helios 😊

Intruder Grid - haha I dread to think what type of character I'd be asked to play... 😲😄

Great video! I wouldnt mind having a a7siii myself haha but until it drops in price I will stick with what i have now to make content for my channel!

Subbed, naturally.
Hope you get that A7Siii soon my friend - it'll be in good hands.
I like this channel, your attitude to camera stuff is brilliant…
Oh no I don’t want another bleeding lens, and now tempted with that Carl Zeiss 1
Random Life Productions - ah thank you so much!
Love this, great stuff thanks man
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this!
Tian Senpai - Thank you for watching and for your kind comment!
@@loneshootr Absolutely, no problem! Thank you for the content once again

brakmaster - yeah go for it, starting/running a you tube channel is a great creative outlet.
That is sound advice my friend.

@@loneshootr Well thank you man. It's a beautiful hobby.
You’re gonna make a real shooter outta this Sony Alpha 77 MII girl.. 🤪
SLR_FL - As long as we're having fun that's all that matters 😊
Good entrance lol
I just discovered my moms old zenith lenses new as they can get 135mm 3.5 carl zeiss I felt like a fisher man who found a stach
Ihab Charife - yes! That Zeiss 135mm is a treasured lens for me.
Love the hat.
Izak Greyling - thank you!
You know I love you Drew, but I disagree with your statement "this is TH-cam, not Netflix". Man, you know you can pull a very good short film with these lenses 😁
Madrò! 😁 some can - but I'll keep on trying ... 😊
