Montage w/ redrock + pentax lenses

[Broken Science Films]

I just got the redrock m2 and broke out some old pentax lenses. I used a 52mm and a 135mm telephoto lens. Just some footage shot outside in a town called Fairplay in Colorado and an old restored historic town called south park (yea, like the show).

Heres the link:

I also got a nikon mount and have shot some with those lenses. I'll post the footage when I get something edited.

great images. love it man. really good stuff. just purchased at a takamur lens for pantax. how does the lens work for you. do you feel it gives you crisp images. also, how does it compare to zeiss lenses?

Beautiful images, but aren't those old Pentax lenses coated with radioactive coatings?

I like the pentax lenses, but the nikon lenses I have are much better, especially with the adapter. I can get a crisp image from the pentax, but a few shots that I felt were in perfect focus while shooting ended up being a little soft to me. I did cheap out and get a non-hd monitor that is really hard to get focus with, so that could be one reason. Check out this video from my first day of shooting with them and you can see what I mean:

Also, I haven't shot with zeiss lenses but from what I've seen they seem to be the best, with very good glass. They are a little pricey so I've just been using what I have available to me.

Really? That might explain the third eye I've been growing... But seriously, that would suck! How old are you talking? The ones I have are from the early seventies..

Thoriated Camera Lens (ca. 1970s)

"The gamma and beta emissions from high thorium content lenses in photographic cameras have the potential to degrade the film if the latter was left in the camera for a substantial period of time. In addition, the self-irradiation of the camera lens leads to a gradual darkening of the glass that reduces light transmission. As a result, it is not unusual to see a reddish brown color to the glass of older lenses."

Nice stuff. The timelapse of the water pump is SWEET and love the light blooms.
