Shooting a Circular Video with a 180° Fisheye Lens

  Previously on the " The Weird Lens Challenge " we saw how to shoot with a 1950 Plastic camera Lens

I am happy to announce the launch of a new web-serie about lens test  " The Weird Lens Challenge "... but not any kind of lens, we will focus only on the weird ones , the old, the crazy ones that you can mount on a mirrorless camera.

For this 4th episode we will shoot a video with a 180° fish eye from the end of 60's on a Sony A7II

For this episode we will test a lens fish eye adapter  : the Kenko 180° fisheye

The lens was first screwd to a 55mm to 52mm filter then to the filer of a Canon 50mm 1.4 FD to a Nex Adapter to the Sony  A7II

The 50mm focal length is perfect for having a full frame Fisheye circular image ... on a APSC it would not be circular.

The Lens is not sharp as hell, but it's pretty good coupled with a sharp lens like the Canon FD, it's also give a incredible look at your shots, of course the use of a Circular video is pretty rare for a cinematic project, but for time lapses it give an impressive effect.

this Lens is pretty rare, but i was lucky to find it only for 60 euros.

Check the video for the results.

So does it takes good photos too ?

Here are some exemples of what the lens mounting is giving for photos.

Shooting a Video with a 1950 Plastic Camera Lens

  Previously on the " The Weird Lens Challenge " we saw how to get Bokeh Madness on Video

I am happy to announce the launch of a new web-serie about lens test  " The Weird Lens Challenge "... but not any kind of lens, we will focus only on the weird ones , the old, the crazy ones that you can mount on a mirrorless camera.

For this 3rd episode we will test to shoot a video with a Photax camera lens from the 50'S on a Sony A7II

And answer to the question : How to get Bokeh Madness on video.

This episode was shot on a rainy dark day, so before everyone gets crazy, the ISO where very high, as the light was low and the camera is also very dark.

For this episode we will test a 1950 french plastic camera : the Photax Heanar type V.

After i managed to open and separate the front and the back of the camera, i blocked the shutter and then i just had to plug the camera directly on the A7II sensor, it was fitting perfectly.

The Lens is not sharp or great, or even easy to use, but it's pretty cool looking and gives a certain vintage look to your shots. After all the results on a bright day could be really great, but ... yea it's winter !

How to get Bokeh Madness on Video

  Previously on the " The Weird Lens Challenge " we tested a 1910 lens on a Mirrorless camera.

I am happy to announce the launch of a new web-serie about lens test  " The Weird Lens Challenge "... but not any kind of lens, we will focus only on the weird ones , the old, the crazy ones that you can mount on a mirrorless camera.

For this second episode we will test the famous Sovietic Jupiter-9  Bokeh Monster 85mm/2 lens mixed with a M42 tilt Ring to Nex adapter on a Sony A7II

And answer to the question : How to get Bokeh Madness on video.

The Jupiter - 9 is famous for being a Bokeh Monster, it has the same swirly effect as the Helios Lenses but even stronger, being very close the the Petzval lens.

Then the lens was screwed to a M42 to Tilt Nex Adaptor ring then to the Sony A7II 

Mixing a tilt ring who makes weird bokeh on any lens with a bokeh Monster will get you some amazing results.

Check the video for the results.

A Video Shot With 105 Year Old Lens

I love Lenses .... i mean i am obsessed with them, but i also like weird stuff, so naturally i mixed the two and wanted to experiment. Why just focusing on the ultra expensive electronic lenses when you can do incredible things with just old glass ...

the glass is the key to image beauty, not the internal motors.

I am happy to announce the launch of a new web-serie about lens test  " The Weird Lens Challenge "... but not any kind of lens, we will focus only on the weird ones , the old, the crazy ones that you can mount on a mirrorless camera.

For this first episode we will teste a 1910 folding camera lens : a Eastman Kodak Kodex / Topaz Boyer Paris f 6.3 120 MM

lens

After mounting it with a cardboard piece to keep it tightly blocked in a m42 macro tube, and then screw it on a m42 bellows, the lens was able to focus.

Then the Bellow was screwed to a M42 to Nex Adaptor ring then to the Sony A7II 

The Lens is incredibly sharp for a 105 years old lady ... but it also gives some strange lens flares and light leaks that are pretty dreamy ( some would say it's horrible )

Check the video for the results.

Here are some exemples of what the lens mounting is giving for photos.

Azores video

I spent 2 weeks with my girlfriend in the Azores islands ( Pico, Sao Miguel, Sao Jorge) The Azores Islands are a small archipelago of nine islands off the coast of Portugal. Verdant and lush, the Azores offer many beautiful sites to see and interesting places to visit like the sapphire blue and emerald green lakes, fertile prairies, volcanic cones and craters, colorful hydrangeas and azaleas, 15th century churches, and majestic manor houses. We went there to walk, discover volcano caves and see whales ... sadly , i didn't saw any whales but i saw dolphins and flying fishes. This islands are so beautiful, so wild and so unique in the world, it was a wonderfull experience and 2 weeks was definitely not enough to see all. This video is a way to give you a short view on what you could see in the Azores islands.

It was shot with a Sony A7II and 35mm zeiss Lens color-graded in premiere cc with Impulz puts stabilized with a Beholder MS1 3 Axes Gimbal

Thanks to Sony France for their support and to My Girlfriend Mariel for her patience when i was shooting behind her like a spy.
