[Mark Von Lanken]

Here is a clip that features primarily vintage lenses. The exception is the extreme wide angle shots when we used the Tokina 11-16.

Vintage lenses used

Hi Broadwayline.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words.

How did you mount those lenses to your camera?

How did you mount those lenses to your camera?

The Helios 44 lens has an M42 mount. The Mir 24 has a Nikon mount and the Zeiss has a Contax Yashica (CY) mount. You just get an M42 to EOS, Nikon to EOS and CY to EOS adapters and you are good to go. Adapters range from $10-20 on Ebay. I like the Fotodiox adpaters.

Great job! She's lucky to have a dad like you. Hard to believe it's only a month away!

I bet you had a big grin on your face the whole time while shooting.

Very nice work. The holding hands shot must have been the Helios, based on the bokeh.

Hi Bobonli,

You are welcome, but the real thanks goes to Chris Watson for all of the time and energy he invested into the topic and then continues to so willingly share of his knowledge.

Hi Chris,

Thanks, but it would have looked different without your help. Yes, the date is quickly approaching.

Hi Jordan,

Thanks. Actually, the holding hands shot was with the Mir 24.

nice job Mark. never seen an invite like that.


Did you resolve that metering prob? i woke up today, turned my cam on and its happening again. Maybe later it will go back to normal...who knows.

Darren.

Hi Darren,

Thanks and no, I have not found a solution to the metering problem on the 60D. I'm sorry the problem returned on your 60D.

I'm surprised but now that I think about the shot's field of view, it makes sense.

oh its my 7D...hey it comes and goes. I had it this morning with the vivitar series 1 70-210 i just got today...turned it off and turned it back on and it was working again. Dont think its the camera cuz its fine with the only modern lens i have which is the tamron (which communicates witht he cam).

That's true, but the Mir24 has really sweet bokeh as well.

That's really weird. In my case, i think it is the 60D. I can use any number of manual focus lenses on the T2i and the exposure meter if fine. When I put that same lens on the 60D and the exposure meter is way off.

wierd indeed
