Many interesting lenses that I've never seen before but man... the "swirly bokeh" of HELIOS 40 is phenomenal! It gives a great cinematic look to the footage. You made me want to buy one!
@@weplaywax I agree with you, I have this lens and for me, this swirly bokeh is maybe good just for a few weird shots. In a long run it's very distracting and makes it hard to separate an object from a background. But closed to f/4 it the bokeh becomes really nice and silky.
Buy the 44-2 and see if you love it. Then get the 40. I have a very early 00 numbered 40 and love it, but I also have a dozen or more 44-2 that all play different.
Finally revealing that wooden lens 😁👌👌👌 Saw this on your Instagram stories I think... couldn't wait to see what it was 👍 So very very elegantly made...
I really love how natural female models look on your photos. No redundant make-up, no forced poses or well-crafted seduction, as it mostly happens these days on women photos. Just their natural beauty.

The Helios 40 85mm ant the Jupiter 11 lenses are the must have one. Helios 40 price is crazy now. About the TT Artisans, I have had a chance to put it into a test, at full wide open and to catch some flare. In your channel, we discuss about bokeh and flare. And this one, seems like to be missing character at flaring and bokeh. Each video of yours is "oh boy, let's see what we have for new " :)
Hey Mathieu. Great video as usual. I am once again bothering you about the cyanotype on map. I would really appreciate it if you could describe your process briefly. Thanks again!
Noted! well it's so simple I dont really have a tutorial, you take a vintage paper map from 1970 , you apply the cyanotype solutions in the dark like in my cyanotype video. you wait for it to dry, you place your negative and you expose to UV lights. develop in water. to be honest the only difference with normal cyanotype is that you use maps and not white paper.
@@MathieuStern I have been following your exploits with old lenses, ice lenses and other unrelated funny things. Everytime I see your vids I go on a hunt to try and find the lenses on eBay XD I'm dying to try them out :D
Hi Mathieu)) thanks again for amazing video, I loved the adaptation of projector lens. Mathieu have you tried any of Mamiya 645 lenses? The M645 45mm f2.8 N on the 35mm FF has a look similar to mentioned here Jupiter-11 with shorter focal length of 72mm (f4 for DoF) and even more sharp and 3D on full open 2.8 (f4 for FF DoF), and if you buy tilt/shift adapter you always have tilt/shift option with you. I sold my Jupiter-11 because of this Mamiya option. Now looking to get and add Mamiya 80mm f1.9 to the same adapter.
Another truly great thing about Helios 40 lens is that it covers almost 645 format, so on a "full frame" you can easily convert it to a tilt/swing lens to get even more bokeh madness! :)
The Helios lense is the only one that i would get, as you said in your video title, it's all about lens style, not the effects, some of those lenses don't look special, they just look like inferior semi modern lenses (in their image quality). But the Helios in particular, it's like recording dreams, i love their looks, i'll probably try to get one for a future camera, because i don't believe i could adapt it to a EF-M mount. The Jupiter lens is also very unique.
Excellent ! Dans la famille des objectifs de projection, j'ai un Astro-kino-color 75mm 1.6, je crois qu'on n'a jamais fait mieux ! (films 16 mm, donc aps-c max) Pour le monter c'est simple : un tube inox (∅48,5mm) coupé à la bonne longueur, dans lequel on colle un feutre adhésif. Le tube est coincé dans une bague step-down 52 to 49, et termine par une bague d'inversion 52mm to nex. Le feutre permet à l'objectif de glisser doucement dans le tube. Le résultat est très desing, et la mise au point on ne peut plus douce ! Et bien sûr, bokeh de folie, mise au point de 30 cm à l'infini, et couleurs somptueuses !
I have Meopta Opener 20mm, 40mm and 80mm. Which are late 60s 16mm lenses from a Czech camera. Sadly the 20mm doesn't adapt as it's CS mount while the others are C mount.
This got me thinking, because I shoot film Leica, but can't justify buying digital Leica at the moment, speaking for the 28 and 50mm use, what are some options out there for stills? I've heard a7rii is great, but with wide it needs the mod.. then what other choices? Any suggestions? Thanks!
You simply give me too many crazy ideas .... The only "crazy" lens I possess is the Helios-44 original lens for the Soviet START SLC. I have an adapter for my Canon EOS M50. The result is pretty funny as the photos I have taken look very *analog*.

I bought it a while back it is customized for me and I love it.

Can you make a guide on adapting vintage glas to nikon f mount? It is a bit difficult due to the flange distance.

I have the Helios 40 in M42. I really need a 35mm camera, because APS-C cuts out all the swirls :/
Please stop flex your helios 40.. just kidding, keep up the good work! :D

Are you saying this can be adapted to medium format film cameras?
@@anamorphicalan to some of them, and its very difficult because the rear element will touch the mirror if you try to focus further than about 1m.
@@KNURKonesur nice! Any idea which cameras hit the mirror at 1m?

How about tessar jena 40/4.5?
How to I this bokeh in ringform?
*Mathieu is the Name & Weird is d Game*
One of my favorite the helios 40 :)
I never really got the "it" of Helios. Now I do. Unreal. Also, that wooden lens looks amazing. Thanks for posting this.
Glad I could help!
What camera do you use for the vintage lenses? The Sony a7III? And is the original Sony worth buying for vintage lenses?
The A7III, what is the original Sony ? the A7 ? yes it's still good for photos , not so much for videos.

Any mirrorless full frame camera right now will be great for adapting your leica lenses, A7II or A7III or even A7RII are great choices for stills
