@@loeildeos I'm having trouble with mine. My speed booster works but every time I connect my Helios lens with a urth m42 adapter my camera tells me the lens is not attached properly, do you know what the problem may be?
@@k.rproductions Hello just put some tape on thé back of the adaptor m42 to ef to disable the electronic and do it behind thé Viltrox ! I manage to make it works with this technique, it will disable the Viltrox electronics and it recognize my lens ! See you
Ehhh, I just bought a Viltrox ef-m2 ii and already have a Helios But it seems when I try to focus to infinity the lens presses against the speedbooster And won't let me go all the way to infinity You know if this is a common issue?
I just ordered viltrox M ii2 plus Helios 44M 58mm for my bmpcc4k this video helped me a lot to clarify that I have ordered the right equipments. Thanks 🤩
My Pocket 4K is on the way so while I wait I purchased a 1975 Helios 44-2 and 70’s Super Takumar 50mm lenses. Your video answered my question as to mounting. Beautiful cinematography. Love the green canopy of colour.
Fantastic video! Where did you end up buying it? I've seen some on Ebay, Etsy, and Amazon but I'm not sure where is best to get it because there seem to be different versions.
Merci pour la video. Je viens de recevoir le Helios 44-2 de russie!! trop cool - toutefois je ne comprends pas: si le helios 44-2 est un 58mm sur un FF Camera -> alors n'est ce pas l'equivalent de 29mm sur un M34? mais en realite c'est un 116mm sur le M43 - par exemple J'ai un lumix 25mm que j'utilise sur mon GH5 qui est equivalent a un 50mm sur un full frame...cant get my head around that one!!??
C'est la même chose avec l'Helios effectivement. L'Helios est un 58mm FF, donc sur un M4/3 il correspond à un 116mm. Il y a un crop factor de x2 sur M4/3. Cependant avec un Viltrox le calcul change est va nous réduire la focale. Donc l'Helios avec un Viltrox 0.71 se rapproche d'un 80mm au final.
@@loeildeos Saluut!! j'ai recu mon Helios ainsi que le Viltrox...hate de raconter une histoire avec!! je vois que tu melanges l'anglais et le francais sur ta chaine...je suis bien tente de faire de meme...ca marche comme ca?
Salut, j'ai exactement le helios 44-2 et le viltrox sur mon gh5, mais quand j'ouvre mon kodak il m'inscrit que la lentille est mal connecté. Comment as tu fais pour la faire fonctionné? Merci!
@@loeildeos bonjour ! Je suis face au même problème que Yanick, sur Gh5 (non Gh5S), donc pas de fonction sans objectif contrairement à mon Gh4, jusque là j'avais bien lu les commentaires mentionnant la page Panasonic...

Merci d'avance ! Cordialement
I find I'm not able to get infinite focus with the viltox because the helios lens actually hits the viltrox lens. Did you solve this with a spacer or something? The images look great btw.
@@loeildeos Im sorry i made the wrong question, what i mean is when you put the helios if you want to focus to infinity the rear element of the helios touches the element from the viltrox, does it happen to you? thanks for answering c:
With this lens, you lose autofocus, no matter which adapter. If you install the Helios to an EF mount, so a Full frame, it is much more pronounced, therefore more beautiful.
@@loeildeos as stated on support page of Panasonic, the option you reference to is not available. So curious where you find that option? "The DC-GH5 will automatically switch to the 'shoot without lens' function when no lens contacts are detected. Because of this the setting is not present in the camera's Menu." - support-uk.panasonic.eu/app/answers/detail/a_id/4373/kw/without%20lens%20gh5/st/7
Its better used for photography rather than video. You need to do some work in post to make it look good as this lens seems to desaturate the colours and is slightly soft in its rendition.
@@loeildeos Looks nice and sharp wide open. I have the same set up and with the Viltrox also. Thanks. I will try it out today. I thought wide open it would look softer. I guess the Viltrox haters might want to check your video out. Looks perfect. I have the Zenit Helios, I hope it is as sharp as your copy which has the Aperture control on the from of the glass. Mine is back closer where it mounts to the camera.
Hello et merci pour cette vidéo, dans un autre tuto, le youtuber recommandait ceci pour connecter à mon GH5, qu'en penses tu ? www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002U4PGPI/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=itisharrison-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B002U4PGPI&linkId=5861856a63d25d14e2d4825e4461f1b1 Pourquoi utiliser deux adaptateurs dans ton cas ?
Salut, l'adaptateur que tu me montres n'est qu'une simple bague. M42 vers M4/3. Il permet juste d'installer l'objectif sur ta caméra. Ton objectif devient alors un 116mm. Sans stabilisation, cette focale est inutilisable en vidéo. Ici le viltrox EF-M2 te permet de réduire la focale et de passer à un 74mm. De plus le Viltrox te fait aussi gagner en ouverture et tu passe de F2 à F1.4. Donc tout est bien mieux avec cette configuration.

Amazing setup 👏 did you shot this in 1.4 or 2.0?
Literally brought this exact setup because of your vid. Thank you
How about infinite focus? I cant focus to objects over 20meters
did you update your speed booster before putting on a adapter?
No
@@loeildeos I'm having trouble with mine. My speed booster works but every time I connect my Helios lens with a urth m42 adapter my camera tells me the lens is not attached properly, do you know what the problem may be?

See you
For some reason when I put mine on my speedbooster it does do anything, or show any lens and then just has an error saying lens isnt connected.
Does Viltrox offer an M42 to Micro 4/3s focal reducer?
No sorry. Or I don't know 😅
@@loeildeos I guess the EF will have to do. LoL I know Pixco has one but prefer the Viltrox. Thank you.
Ehhh, I just bought a Viltrox ef-m2 ii and already have a Helios
But it seems when I try to focus to infinity the lens presses against the speedbooster
And won't let me go all the way to infinity
You know if this is a common issue?
You have to adjust the small lens inside the viltrox, by a rotation.
@@loeildeos thanks I'll try🙏
@@loeildeos worked like a charm
Thanks

@@loeildeos Thank you so much for the quick response, I think Ebay is the way to go.

Amazing
Thanks 🤙
Did you use a gimbal for this footage? If so which one ?
My video shootings with this lens are really shaky
No gimbal for this vidéo. Lots of practice and some post-prod stab 😉

Beautiful swirly bokeh on what is essentially an apsc equivalent. Nice footage.

Étrange... quelle version du viltrox ?
@@loeildeos efm2-II 0.71x
Cela pourrait être dû à la version ?
Sur le Gh4 ça fonctionne les objectifs manuel ? Sur le votre ?
beautiful!!
Thanks a lot !
How did you enable to use manual lens while using it on the Viltrox?

I am having the same problem, I adjusted the inside lens on the viltrox and unable to get infinity focus
I have two lens 44-2 love IS PERFECT BOKEH (Sorry my inglish is bad)
No worries, I'm french 🤣
Beautiful!
Thank you !
Absolutely gorgeous footage! I’m sold on the lens for my gh5
Thanks ! It's the best vintage lens
How did you manage to get to infinity focus with the viltrox?
You have to rotate the element inside the viltrox.

I don't have this problem. Sorry 😬
Excellent image quality.. could this also work with an M42 to EF Confirmation chip adapter.. would you still get some sort of focus beep?
With this lens, you lose autofocus, no matter which adapter. If you install the Helios to an EF mount, so a Full frame, it is much more pronounced, therefore more beautiful.
Beautiful cinematic image from this lens. Love it
Thanks a lot.
Great vid!
I have Metabones 0,64 XL - Do you know if it will be a lot vignette?
Apparently yes !
Did you use this with a GH5? If so, did you have to tape over the contacts on the EF-M2?
No I use it with a GH5s. Do not touch the contacts.
L'oeil d'Eos how did you get the GH5 to not error out?
@Chris Clough It must be set so that it can work without lense. You have to go to the GH5s menu.
I like it. I have a EF-M2 II for my G7, I may have to get the lens and adapter and give it a try. 🤘

But that's the goal ! Have a softer image ;)
Looks great, I have the same set up. Viltrox works just fine. Were you shooting wide open? Thanks
