Hey Lads,

Did a little shoot yesterday testing some recently picked up Takumar primes.
Most of the shots done on the 50mm 1.8 Super Takumar plus a sporadic wide on a 28mm 3.5.
Interestingly I am also using a cheapo chinese Speed Booster going from m42 to Nex.
I must say, I was pretty blown away when examining the shots last evening. Those Takumars are such a pleasure to handle. And the speedbooster worked like a charm. I could not spot any negatives.
Judge for yourself.

Not bad! I'd like to see them during the day with sunlight or with some artificial lighting, both practical and staged. If at all possible and you have the time.
 
The results speak for themselves, super impressed so far! What frame rate did you use? Any post sharpening, etc?
 
I shot it all at 60p at 1/250 shutter more less.
4 percent sharpening in post to pop Sofia ( the model ) a little more.

I did some mid day tests today, will try to get some stuff done tomorrow as well.
Let's see how this combo reacts with higher contrast scenes.
 
One last question, I promise haha what are your export setting for Vimeo? I can't get my videos to look as sharp and detailed when I upload, can you share your preferred method of encoding?
