Good day guys, thanks for joining me. I've got a few vintage manual lenses for my Pentax Sponkmatic kit. These are all M42 screw mount lenses. What I've been interested in doing is sticking them onto a digital camera body and just seeing what the results are. You know, fairly new digital camera with vintage lenses and just see what results we get. Now the camera I've picked is my Nikon D3S which is just a workhorse, it's a beautiful camera. So I bought myself a M42 to Nikon F adapter. It costs about $70 I think, $70 New Zealand dollars, something like that. So I'm going to stick that on guys. Get a few photographs over the next few days, various lenses, just see how we go. Could be quite interesting. What I've got here is a small collection of M42 for some reason, I don't know why I can't explain it, I absolutely adore M42 screw mount lenses. For one the cheap, the easily available you get some good results with them and to be honest, it's pretty cool just screwing on a screw on a lens and screwing off a lens and I don't know, it's just quite interesting. We've got the Super Takama 50mm 1.4 beautiful lens. We have got the Super Takama 55mm 1.8 lens which is also beautiful. This one is a Super Takama 150mm F4. I've got a 135mm F2.8 Sun lens. This is my latest acquisition, I bought this off eBay from my Japanese seller, very cheap, arriving already absolutely Christine condition. Look at that, she's beautiful. This is a 28mm F3.5 lens and it's gorgeous. So for this little experiment, and it is just a little experiment, it's just a little bit of interest, I'm going to concentrate on the 28mm and the 150mm. Just take it out and have a play about and see what we can get with these two fantastic M42 lenses. Let's go. The first subject is about 25 minutes drive up the road and it's a stand of trees that are absolutely gorgeous, some hills in the background. I've shot them a few times before, actually on the previous Pentax video I got a quick grab shot. That was in black and white, these shots are going to be in colour and with the sun setting to the west it casts some beautiful light onto the scene. So that's the plan for this particular shoot. I've got around this little experiment this morning. Getting up and walking down the beach, I shot them during the last video in black and white on the spot and I just shot them in colour, vintage lens, DSLR and see how it goes. Before I came up with this idea to try vintage lenses on on a DSLR, I just bought the first adaptor that I could find online and it came and I just never even thought about it, I just stuck it on the camera and just went out and did my thing and then since I've been looking at a few videos online and apparently you've got to be careful which adapt to your buy M42 Tynic on F because apparently you can get some adapters that will not allow the camera to focus to infinity. So I didn't even know that was a thing, so luckily I've kind of dodged the bullet because this adaptor I've bought seems to have no problems at all, focusing to any distance at all which is pretty lucky on my behalf really. I've dropped on quite lucky with that one, definitely more than judgement on my part. This adaptor has got another glass element in there and obviously it's sort of another glass element between the sensor and the glass in the lens, it kind of apparently detracts on the fine image. I don't know about that, I'm not sure, keep it clean, who knows, now listen, I'm not here for pixel peeping, I'm not here for fricking, you know, a ward winning masterpiece photography, I'm here for enjoyment and I'm absolutely loving it so well. Hey, all power to the adaptor. I've just driven a bit further down the road and there's quite a few surfers out there so I'm thinking stick on the 150 millimeter lens manual focus, see what we get, can we do all this? Of course we can, come on. Shit, it's getting close and that's that I'm going to get to work. The surfers are doing their thing, I'm going to go do my thing. Hope you enjoyed this guys, we've been a lovely, lovely experiment.
