f0.7 – Ultrafast Lenses – Legends, budget options, modding, and testing – Epic Episode #13

Well better late than never, you guys are incredible!

I didn't know I needed some pop corn for this. God I'm such a nerd lol I find things like these interesting as I love photography and cinematography. It's art.

Clearly, all Lyndons are best shot with ultra-ultra fast lenses.

This was highly informative and worth the time invested to watch the entire episode.
Also, the mentions of your suppliers are well deserved since you really produced results instead of just talking about how "great" their products were.

Interesting tests. I delved a little more into the math after the video and it is interesting. However, as someone with no experience in higher math courses like trigonometry and physics it is definitely difficult to comprehend at points. One theoretical way to achieve a higher numerical aperture is if you used a medium that was not air. For instance you could get an even higher potential numerical aperture like that of oil-immersion objective lenses. I believe the oil would need to be implemented between the sensor and lens so I do not really know if that would practical or even be possible but just some food for thought.

Well done sir

I was at the Zeiss museum in Oberkochen today … they show amongst other very impressive exhibits one original copy from Stanley Kubrick together with two candles with the three wicks to get more light out of the candles on the set … very impressive … like your video … many thanks! 🍻

Hi Nikolas! Great to have discovered your channel today. I love your style of videomaking with a brilliant use of light and your admiration of Stanley Kubrick! (3 August 2023).

Вы показали впечатляюще завораживающее видео! спасибо за труд и эмоции которые Вы нам подарили.

Great video, but a small correction, the planar 0.7 only had an image circle of 27mm, as per Zeiss "From the Series of Articles on Lens Names: Planar by H. H. Nasse" quote from page 5 "Unfortunately, it is practically impossible to
adapt this "dream lens" to an SLR camera. It had an image circle diameter of 27mm, making it almost an APS-C, a diameter of around 90mm and weighed in at 1850 grams. And the large lens element diameters had to come very close to the film plane: the distance to the last lens vertex was only 5.3mm. It was therefore fitted with a central shutter for large-format camera optics and was precisely adjusted to a modified HASSELBLAD body." the modified bit is doing a lot of heavy lifting

Imagine buying this camera on a second hand market 😂😂😂😂😂

Amazing video. Thank you for your efforts. You might should consider the very cheap lenses from Zhongyi, Pergear, 7Artisan. They all have 35mm/0.95 for APS-C. Thank you for bringing me at the edges of optical physics.

I miss any reference to the Kodak Aero-Ektar in this review.

those owls are so pretty

Excellent, a real optics class, your videos are really good, thanks for sharing.

это как будто кит разглядывает человека поблизости.... или как человек муравья....

The Toneh of that lens is incredible. Great work

That "weird bokeh" is due to the shape of the shroud on the mount you used, check your footage of the projection onto ground glass and you'll notice the bokeh is normal. This is similar to how dust on the rear element of a lens appears in focus within bokeh balls!

The intro always gosebumps me since first seen this few years ago.

Thanks!

Woooow haha. How am I just seeing this 2yrs later. Bravo mate, very informative.

Sooo beautiful, ending results came out breathtaking. Keep up the good work 🙏🏽

awesome work

Thank you so much for your time to stop at the photopia / Fujifilm stage today. I love your style to comment and explain what you are doing and why. And the results presented here are simply stunning.

You did not include the infamous Fujinon XF 50/1.0 in your list 😉 I am looking very much forward seeing what's up here on this channel.

Any plan to follow this video with any other tests with the xray lens? Definitely an interesting lens with an interesting look

f1 보다 낮은 렌즈를 갖고 싶은 것은 모두의 로망 아닐까 싶다.
It seems like everyone's dream to have a lens lower than f1. 🌿🌿🌿

Holy hell!!!! this is beautiful!

This was a very very well done episode. It was just entertaining to watch and the length of this video was absolutely not noticeable.
Appreciate your time which went into this.

I'm looking from a macbook pro m1 and at 0.7 you see a bit of noise. But the light it gives is incredible

'''' THANKS'' ***** SUPERRRRRRRRRR..............!

Amazing wow

Not going to lie, I was like "50 minutes I am not going to spend an hour sitting here watching this"

The information and scenes were so good I watched some of it twice over. Thanks guys for making awesome content. Love learning more about things like this.

omg the German word for X-Ray made me laugh

dschermän englisch batt werri well expläind sou

Wow, just wow. Even though I am subscribed to so many channels, this one deserves another subscriber. Its just too high quality to ignore. Bravo!

I tought the model was Madds Mikelsen for a sec

I miss focuse on a f1.8 80mm and ur on a 100 f0.7

this is just remarkable stuff

Learned so much, info dense and excellent production!

Im not optics expert but I think the softness and "out of focus" effect on the light sources is due the lens being designed with a single focus in mind, so it must have a lot of spherical aberration specially when focused to infinity. This is very obvious when using microscope objectives of large apertures (.4NA and up) were the thickness of the cover slide makes a very significant difference in image quality due the objectives being designed to look thorough it, so it also makes me wonder if the change of the hot mirror also has to do with it.

crazyyyyyyyyyyyy

This is next level content sir...

Did this guy narrate Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
