I hadn't actually read them as I was primarily just here for the heckling regarding the Soviet sphere of influence post World War II. Oh well, in the bin it goes. Let me get this straight... you shot a film for a film competition and didn't follow ANY of the rules? I'd keep your eyes on this thread come judging time!! ???

leslie Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 my lens has arrived, preliminary tests give no joy. If i free lens i can get focus, it appears my m42 to mft adapter is too long. Looks like i am waiting for the helicoid to arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like i am waiting for the helicoid to arrive I noticed some lenses suggested that the manufacturer used a m42 mount but a different flange distance, and that these wouldn't be a straight conversion with a normal adapter, and I thought I'd bought one of these but one arrived and it's fine, so maybe it's one that hasn't arrived yet. How far away can you focus? Maybe it's workable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far away can you focus? Maybe it's workable? actually i tried two enlarger lenses, one projection lens, and the russian lens that arrived today . I'm not really surprised i have read that the once you go lower than 70mm or so with enlarger lenses its harder to get infinity focus and you need shorter and shorter mounts. The el nikor 63mm enlarger lens is notoriously difficult to get infinity focus without a custom mount. I didn't think this russian lens was an enlarger lens i figured it would mount up to m42 and i'd be away but its m39 which is a popular size for enlarger lenses and i dont read or speak russian so theres a good chance that maybe it is an enlarger lens ?. I'm not too perturbed i have a bunch of adapters of different thicknesses, two helicoids yet to arrive. kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslie Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 more research reveals it is indeed a camera lens. Mine does come with a focusing helicoid, i need a short m42 to mft adapter, maybe a short extension tube to get me to infinity and some 2 part epoxy perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xzobinx Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Pretty sure I have used two lens for this which broke the single lens rule but I can assure that both are Soviet. I made this a while ago as part of my street music passion project. If anyone can tell me the name of the song, much appreciated heart0less, leslie, BTM_Pix and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much of a standard song that Clint Eastwood made a movie around it. The tune is by Erroll Gardner. For my money the best rendition of the song is from Ella Fitzgerald. Best sax rendition? I'll go with Sonny Stitt. Saginaw, MI represent! Look at me, helpless like a kitten up a tree... Anyone want an internet rabbit hole to go down? "Misty" will take through the pinnacle of mid-century American music. xzobinx and Xavier Plagaro Mussard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kye Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 With only a week left to enter, how are we all doing? Who has films on the way? I have two lenses I haven't shot with yet, although one has an infinity focus problem that I haven't resolved, and no opportunities to shoot in sight... ???

leslie Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 looks like i will have one lens at least. I'm also downloading the 6.6 update for the bmp4k so i hope to give the anamorphic options a go as well. kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
