The ISCORAMA 42 (left) is a wonderful lens, but incredibly rare and pretty expensive, so if you'd like something similar for much less money, you might want to check out the ISCO WIDE-SCREEN 2000 (right) You can find reviews for both of these on the vintagelensesforvideo.com #iscorama #iscorama42 #iscorama42mc #isco #widescreen2000 #anamorphic #anamorphiclens #lenstest #lensporn #legacylens #canonfd #vintagelens #vintagelenses #vintagelensesforvideo #vlfv #filmmaker #filmmaking #cinemascope #cinematography #cinematographer #dop #cameradept #cameradepartment

3 Carl Zeiss Jena Primes (35mm F2.8 50mm F2.8, 135mm F4) in different finishes but with the same, rather unusual mount! Last month I shared a little bit of info about Zeiss lenses in Praktica Bayonet (PB) and this time I want to tell you about the mount that goes by a cool name -EXAKTA! Some of you probably know about it already, but I'm sure plenty don't, which is the reason why Zeiss lenses made in this mount can be found much cheaper than those in M42. EXAKTA lenses can be easily adapted to Sony-E and MFT mount (EF comparability appears to be limited) so if you can't afford Contax or even M42 mount Zeiss lenses, then EXAKTA mount might open up some opportunities for you. As you can see I have a few of them myself and will be testing/comparing them to my M42 equivalents to find out if there is any difference at all! I suspect the won't be much, but we'll see! #carlzeiss #carlzeissjena #zeissjena #m42 #exakta #exa #exaktalens #exaktalenses #zeiss #zeisslens #contax #vintagelens #vintagelensesforvideo #vlfv #legacylens #telephotolens #filmmaking #photography #lensporn #cheaplens #cameradept #cameradepartment #photolens

15sec of ISCORAMA 42 MC + HELIOS 44-2 58mm F2. As you can see, all my attempts to make this combo produce anamorphic flares have failed miserably. Beautiful images nevertheless! You can watch my full test video on YouTube.com/alanbesedin My in-depth review is coming soon too! #iscorama #iscorama42 #isco #anamorphic #anamorphiclens #anamorphicflare #helios #helios44_2 #helios442 #helios58mm #vintagelens #vintagelenses #vintagelensesforvideo #vlfv #legacylens #filmmaker #filmmaking #cinemascope #cinematography #cinematographer #dop #cameradept #cameradepartment

Really loving the LOMO OCT19 35mm. Filmed almost entire review with it today: main shot, close up, b-roll. So far my favourite LOMO lens and such a great focal length on Super35. I'm planning to compare it to the popular vintage photo alternatives including the MIR-1 37mm and Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm. I think that would be a cool comparison because MIR & Zeiss are favourites of many, so which one would be the best?! :) #LOMO #lomolens #lomooct19 #lomolenses #russianlens #ussrlens #sovietlens #vintagelens #legacylens #vintagelensesforvideo #vlfv #lensporn #sonyfs100 #fs100 #nexfs100 #filmmaker #filmmaking #setlife #cameradept #cameradepartment #cinelens #cinemalens #dop #cinematography

Another little clip from Krasnogorsk video. This time a bit more of the MIR11 12.5mm which unfortunately does vignette a little and is softish wide open, but Vega7 20mm and Vega9 50mm are perfect on BMPCC. Full review is coming soon.

15 Sec from Krasnogorsk video. No, this video is not about a city in Russia, but about these magical little lenses that can be used on S16 sensor cameras like BMPCC or M4/3 mount cameras with a Super16 crop mode. My favourite is the 20mm, which particularly magical, but more about it in my upcoming in-depth review :) Meanwhile, to see the full test video, go to YouTube.com/alanbesedin #krasnogorskLenses #mir11 #vega7 #vega9 #russianlenses #sovietlenses #ussrlenses #bmpcc #blackmagicdesign #blackmagicpocketcinemacamera #legacylens #vintagelens #vintagelenses #vintagelensesforvideo #vlfv #oldlens #filmmaking #filmmaker #cinematographer #cinematographer #dop #testvideo #lenstest
