About This Video:
I Had the chance to be Invited to visit the vintage lenses paradise in Finland by the Camera rescue team.
This was a fantastic week, playing and learning a lot with the most rare and crazy weird lenses in the world.
I did something that a lot of vintage lens lovers only dream to do, have a photoshoot with the super rare and expensive Canon F0.95 massive lens.

you should once run through a forest with much trees, bushes etc. make a slow motion video of that footage and see how the focus point changes from by example a bush to a squirrel running around
I wish you could have done some night photography testing. It always seems like people focus just on the bokeh when it comes to these super fast lenses, when really they could work wonders in low-light.
Feels like my Nikon F1.2 (oh well... Nikkor...) isn't that much better in low light than like my f2 helios or some other lenses but could be just my eyes playing tricks.
@@MuwexTech nope transmission isn't the same as f stop. Light is lost as it passes through the glass elements before reaching the sensor. An f1.2 lens might only have a T1.4 transmission.
@@kingsamvisuals that is correct! That is why we prefer also in video world T-stops when using different lenses so still have same exposure.
@@djstrobo huh? Care to explain
You are rights bro
I know I should be focusing on the lens and looking at the photos, but all I can think about is that beautiful first location.
damn thats pretty soft wide open
Jop it is
You mean extremely soft right?
Actually, it is not all that soft (unsharp), however it suffers from huge field curvature which moves the plane of sharpest focus closer to the camera as you examine the image toward the edges and corners. The 50mm 1.2 has the same, but the effect is not as severe.
@@randallstewart175 Umm it's soft even in the centre.
Just like your mom
This lens was extensively used on the new Netflix original Army of the dead, by Zack Snyder! The result is so remarkable!
I also searched after hearing zack used it. He used it in justice league too.
amazing!
i’ve only shot this lens on film and it’s very funny because the Canon 7S is a Rangefinder so you don’t see the depht of field when taking picture and you’re always amazed by the result when the film comes back from the lab ! i love this lens !!!
Gabriel Delarageaz Also it's MUCH easier to focus on a rangefinder camera than with mirrorless...
@@jlwilliams Well, on Fuji cameras you can actually use a digital rangefinder instead of focus peaking, so it's just as good as old rangefinders
Liked this episode particularly because I could see you directing the model and then the final shots. Cool.
Beautiful Flare, its dreamy because its just like in your dream the background is mostly bokeh (out of focus) only part of your consciousness resolve the detail.
Straight up loving the vintage lenses here. I really need to go to Finland just for this shop lol.
Kamerastore oh believe me I plan on it.. as soon as I can get the funds together 😅
My wife and daughters would say that I have a" Camera rescued center " if they know about that store
i would love to visit your center :)
*Zack Snyder* used it (with RED cameras) on movie "Army of the dead". The director was a principal photographer (cameraman) himself on the set. Watch the film (I haven't seen it) or at least the trailer (like I did). Looking fantastic! P.S. BTW I've toured Finland with my death metal band MORTEM (Russian, not the one from Peru) and we played a show in Tampere. Nice town, nice people!
Wow that's soft all over. What I'd love to see is how it performs for video in low light. It looks like with all the flares and abborations it's not my cup of tea for shooting pictures in bright sunny situations when you compare it to today's lenses, but being able to get cleaner lower iso shots with a good follow focus would make this lens really appealing when you want that je ne sais quoi in low light video situations. I have a crappy old Zeiss 50mm manual that I have used for pictures but shooting at 1.2 with moving subjects is just a battle against a mega beast that I don't want to partake in anymore. Great for filming with though, especially when you can punch in 200% and check focus while recording. Thanks for the review. I hope you enjoyed it
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! You were the one inspiring me to get into this field and look at the wonders that make photography of today the true art form that it really is. I love how you bring life to not just old lenses, but understand the value and meaning behind them. To use old lenses and make interesting and unique shots with generic digital cameras today who's only main focus seems to be the same for most brands, lose the ability to be as unique as what you offer them with these lenses. In other words, you are showing how to bring back the art in the Art of Photography and that is my love and passion in life, so thank you for inspiring me to get into this most amazing field and fun adventure. I'm Namaste.Soham on Instgram, we've talked before, so thank you for your kindness! You're awesome bro!
thanks a lot my friend
Thanks to Laowa, we don't need to spend that much with their upcoming 35mm and 45mm f/0.95 lenses this year for full-frame mirrorless cameras!
I love the pictures from this shoot.
Forgot to use a universal lens hood AKA a KFC bucket
Damn this is really cool. Awesome share as always, Mathieu!
Amazing Amazing lens wow♥️
I really like your videos with voiceovers. They are a lot more engaging then the ones with just text.
It's a dream channel showing dream lenses producing dream photographs :)
Based on long experience with the f0.95, I suggest you sacrifice one f-stop and use the Canon 50/1.4 instead. Less flare wide open, nearly the same shallow DOF, very similar bokeh ... all for under $400 for a minty example in LTM39, $300 for the FD mount version. Most Canon RF shooters agree that the 50/1.4 LTM39 equals any 50mm Leitz product ever made.
Got a 50mm F1.2 for €105 lol
@4:13 were you manually focusing using focus assist on the mirror less camera?
Another great video from the master of weird lenses
Merci Mathieu!
Soon 200k Followers !! You deserve it. Nice video as usual.
Beautiful model and nice review...
Very very interesting to have seen this perform. Loved the shoot, too. But for that price - which imho just reflects the rarity, not the performance - I will stick to my 6 other 50mm lenses LOL
Happier with a tak f1.8
Great video. I shoot some of my formals with wedding clients mounted on a EosR I am in love with this lens.
I just bought a rolleiflex from the camera rescue center!
them cool!but here in denmark 1 print costs about 15-18 dollars!!
@@bernhardtsen74 here in France it's quite expensive as well, so I mainly scan digitally, sadly
@@paulie3095 I got a friend in London, he used to sneak into any university that had photolabs from old times!he would dress young and just develop his pix when he could!
@@Kamerastore it's my pleasure your website was so welcoming and easy to use, and the prices were so reasonable, I will definitely buy from you guys again
please can you make a video about the Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f/0,7?
I own three copies of this Canon 50mm f0.95. All been converted into Leica M mount. This is one my favorite vintage lenses to do portrait.
Fantastic Lens !! magnifique !
Very cool Video! This lens is really interesting. It has a very special look o.O
1:24 She is an Angel and the Flare its Beautiful.
Getting the focus right must be a pain in the a.. nice video as always.
Oh you was here in Finland! WOW! :)
Super awesome man
when others review the 7artisans 50mm 0.95 and practically has the same flaws, they say its garbage.
wow it's a beautiful lens
Do they have a Noct-Nikkor aswell for comparison? :-D
"i'm an angel" ...yes, you are =D
Superbe Vidéo Mathieu 🤩
Merci Esteban
Keep it up dude! Thumbs up!
Mathieu I like your Choice in music lmao
Aaaaa)) somebody teleport me to Finland's camera rescue shop) I will probably lose half of my savings there;)
i just watch you bz ur from Finland not many of finns to see in social media , keep up
Love the music
Beautiful angel! 😇
its not easy with this narrow depth of field. Do you use focus peaking?
always !
Did you use focus peaking?
What kind of mount is needed to use that on his Sony?
I think the effect is similar with Nikon 50mm 1.2 wide open :)
Old lenses are quite soft compared with modern counterparts
I have this lens. Focus peaking helps greatly.
I own one too. It is really King of the bokeh！
My fav lens.
Believe it or not. I bought one for $280. It came in camera lot i bought, after selling the rest of the lot the dream lens ended up costing me only $160. I had it overhauled & converted to Leica M-mount. That costed me $460 plus the $160 so total cost to me was $620. But i was never a fan of this lens so I sold it on Ebay for $2800 & ended up buying my dream camera the Pentax 67ii with 105mm f2.4 :) The point I'm trying to make is...always keep an eye out on craigslist, offerup, letgo apps lol
creamy soft coffe!
My uncle hooked me up with one in like perfect condition...i didnt realize it was such a rare lens! Makes me wonder if i can sell it...def need to try it for video,what adaptador would i need for the sony E mount?
Depends on the lens mount ?
If you want to sell it I can help you !
Send me an email mathieustern@yahoo.fr
At that F stop, i want to go out at night and go NUTS
I have retro 50mm 1.4f Minolta Rokkor. Find for 110€. with Zhongyi Lens Turbo II adapter To Lumix M43. Same Results.. Beautiful Bokeh. Great Lowlight performance.. Cinematic look when taking videos. Almost no need for any filters or effects. Dreamy and warm
have you try the canon ltm 50 1.4 and 1.2? I would love to hear your opinion on these two :D
Expecting a separate video on low light performance
well, with the manual focus assist from Sony, no wonder its a nightmare to nail focus....
definitely can't rely on peaking....better results with magnification in my experience
I only use magnification on my Sony, have gotten pretty quick at it with lenses I use a lot.
I currently have f0.95 50mm lens by Mitakon for full-frame e-mount and it is a wonderful lens. I have another camera that uses an EF mount lens, but I can't find such a lens that has f0.95.
Does it do auto focus or is it a vintage?
@@realamericannegro977 neither. It doesn't have autofocus and I don't think it's vintage, I bought it brand new.
@@AdamIverson have you tried to shoot a model next to a car like he tried in this video? I believe it is possible to it her way less blurry while getting the car. Im asking cause im new and want to work my way up to getting crazy lenses
@@realamericannegro977 no, I have not tried that with the model in front of car. I posted the comment two years ago, I forgot the content of the video, so I had to rewatch the video a bit. For close up, the depth of field is really shallow. However, if you take picture of the whole car, I think the whole car can be in focus, but I haven't worked with the lens for a while. I sold A7Sii a while ago and got A7Siii, but still have the lens. I hardly use it though.
@@AdamIverson thanks
4:12 does focus peaking help this issue?
Well, finally a lens that will not get some price... Because it's hell expensive :D
Take my money, I need this
Is this an anamorphic or spherical lens? If spherical is the case, I wasn't aware such bokeh could be achieved. Or is this an exception?
What about the Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. Lens?
soft when it is fully open
King Bokeh..😍
WHAT LENS IS THAT AT 0:09? I WOULD LIKE TO BUY ONE.
How much did the IBIS help?
Just found one between some old crappy camera stuff cleaning up grandma's ceiling :))))
Can you send me a photo ?
Mathieustern@yahoo.fr
J'ai été a Tampere mais je savais pas qu'il y avait un musée pareil, c'est visitable gratuitement ?
Oui, mais seulement 1 jour par semaine. et tu peux acheter tout ce qui est exposé en plus :)
@@MathieuStern Merci de l'information, continue tes vidéos c'est bien intéressant :ok:
very similar look to my minolta 58mm rokkor pf @1.4
Soft as butter that lens. Wouldn't pay that much for it.
iNerdier Stopping it down even about 1/3 stop retains softness but cleans up the flare. By the time you get down to about f/4 it's a sharp conventional 50mm lens (although big and heavy.) So you can choose the effect you want... I use a variable ND filter on mine so I can pick the aperture that gives the look I want and then change the filter to get correct exposure.
Quite a feat for canon in the 60s to make such a lens, it has a unique design in the sense that it is quite stout, short and that large diameter makes it fat looking. i love its look and it balances well on any camera body to which it can be mated to. If focusing with EVF is hard enough, try focusing with a rangefinder, depends on how you look at it, in a rangefinder system, its lining the patch up, and if you are able to line it irrespective of what lens is attached, you will hit focus, if the lens is accurately coupled. Now focusing with EVF, if that EVF is tiny and does not have enough resolution for you to make out what's in focus and what's not, you will be guessing with such a lens as this that is both soft and has such a shallow DOF because it opens up to 0.95. again it has a 180 degree throw on the focus to let you dial in focus.
Is there a place like this in America??
Honestly, not big optical difference between F:1.2 FL/FD lenses, that costs 60€-200€. Thank you for review!👍
Wow, Big like
Thanks for the visit
Thanks for the video! Now I know that I don't want this lens. Not for the price it's usually sold. I can now think about other lenses. :)
Glad it was helpful!
Woow
it's similar to my minolta 58mm f1.4
I'm not a sharpness obsessed photographer at all but that lens is WAY too soft. It looks foggy and not in a good way (in my opinion). You can easily get that kind of separation with an 85mm shot at f2 and your subjects are a lot more sharp and crisp. Enjoyed the video though 👍🏼
Au bon moment pour la sortie du Noct.
Et dire que Kubrick a utilisé. un 0,7 !
Lowbarr Kate Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f/0.7 was used on Barry Lyndon. Only 10 lenses were ever made. Kubrick bought 3.
@@user2144 yes, and he used it with an incredible talent,.as he usually did.
Lowbarr Kate Usually??
@@user2144 I regard Kubrick as a real genious so you can understand...
I’ve just found at my grandpas place
Canon 7s Z
with
Canon lens 50mm f/1:0.95
and I don’t know what to do with it while I know there are some people dying to try it
well you can send it to me :)
that could be a great second video
Hey you still got it?
I use everytime lens shade....
With sooo big front...
Imagine trying to focus this on the original rangefinder cameras... you couldn't even focus.
Please, show low lights night pictures
Yet all the images are looking like there's a silk screen in front of the detail that's supposed to be sharp. I've got the same issue with my grandpas old lenses.
Old stuff deteriorates
@@jaysanchez4407 no, it was never good to begin with.
All of his lenses? I have a few vintage lenses that are terrible like that, but it's rare to get a whole bunch that are unusable.
The real breakthrough was the ability to turn out aspherical lenses at an reasonable price. Canon turned out an 1:1,2 50mm Aspherical SSC and the later 1:1,2 50mm L. Both had versions without aspherical elements, and all were better than the 1:0,95 50mm.
Such fast lenses were build to deliver good image quality under very bad/dim light situation, and that's the point where they are superior. With open lights in a very dark situation you get sharp images without coma and spherical aberation with an open aperture.
What aperture do you choose to shoot a portait? 1,2...?
Look what parts of the face are still sharp.
Shoot portrait with 50mm or 85mm in a medium distance mostly stopped down to 4.0 or 5,6 to get sharpness from nose to ear... a more open aperture is senseless for this application.
and btw i think you can get better results with a hellios lens for 1/60 of the money :p
saved me a comment
feels like 85mm 1.8
👍
No voihan nääs! En olis arvannu että Tampereella!
You should probably use a focusing string as they o in movies to get the subject in focus. A laser meter and then 'freeze'.Or do something else, like get a Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 or (I am not saying this) do the bokeh in post-process. Alien Skin can.
Canon 7S + 50 dream lens .... un de mes duo de rêve malheureusement devenu inabordable .... :-(
I would say painting lence
But it's soft. Or am I missing something here?
3d pop, more like blurry pop.hahaha fun lens im sure but for the price i think id get a tilt shift and get creative or
