    One of my favorite lenses! I bought one about a year after I bought my first 35mm SLR, a Pentax MX in 1978.
    A voiceover audio editing suggestion: Use a pop/sibilance shield on your voiceover microphone to reduce high frequency noise. You can also try filters in your video editing software. Also try a little bit of compression of the audio to reduce the volume variation in your narration. Thanks.

    Another one i'm missing out on for it being too modern! I do however have the 1971 Thorium-baked version, and that is one of my favourite manual lenses (along with the excellent 55 1.8). Nice vid - cheers very much.

      Thanks for the feedback, I've certainly learnt a lot about the CZcams editor in the last few weeks , all I need now is some decent weather 🥴

    Hi, I've just tested this lens from a reseller and found the focus ring had a little movement when moved left to right (not turned, but moved) like if it was a little loose, and also made a little click sound when doing this. I'd like to know if this is normal or I should avoid buying it. Thank you very much, wonderful review BTW.

    • @fistfulloflenses
      @fistfulloflenses  Před měsícem

      All I can say is in my copy there is no movement or clicking, so you may want to check it carefully before you buy , if you get one in good condition, I'm sure you won't be disappointed (good luck)
