  • Vintage Camera Lens Hunting in Dongmyo market in Seoul, South Korea. I really like vintage lenses and one of the best ways to find great deals is to go out and check the outdoor. Got a Mamiya Sekor 55mm f1.8 That is a pretty good find! Also found some Helios 44-2 lenses in good condition!

    Dongmyo old folk market is located on the north side of Seoul. It is really busy especially on the weekends but you can drop by during the week too and you might get lucky with something.
    I ended up getting the Mamiya Sekor 55mm 1.8 and a body for 10 dollars, which I ended up fixing up quite nicely.
    I'm here to sell you an idea, the idea that photography is an art form which doesn't require the latest camera gear. I believe the most important aspect of photography is the person behind the camera learning to manipulate the light to take nice photos. It upsets me to see that the majority of photographic content revolves around getting people to buy the latest camera or lens, instead of actually making photographs.
    내 생각을 말해 주고 싶어요. 사진예술은 대단한 장비를 필요로 하지 않아요.
    좋은 사진을 찍기위해 빛을 조절하는 법을 배우는 것이 사진의 가장 중요한 면이라고 생각해요. 사진을 잘 찍게 도와주기는 커녕 최신카메라와 렌즈를 사도록 유도하는 컨텐츠를 끊임없이 반복하는 유명 사진가들을 보면 너무 화가 나요.

    Lol never say " this is the lens i am looking for" in front of the seller ... :))
    in france he will triple the price instantly !
    But the " its broken and dusty inside" is always a good way to bargain.

    • @Noealz
      @Noealz  Před 4 lety

      I'll keep that in mind! I was able to clean the lens nicely and fix the aperture system, but missing the tools to make the aperture and focus smooth. But this is really fun, I think I'll go out hunting for lenses in these markets more.

    I have that 55 f1.8 with the chrome nose. Very surprising lens! I found it to be quite sharp and the background blur to be very pleasing.

    Today I learned from both you and Sir Robin that Seoul isn't really the best place for camera hunting... yes, you find a lot, but damn, those prices! That Praktica, I have three of those with the same lens from flea markets and ebay, never paid more than $20 (that's why I have three) :)

    • @Noealz
      @Noealz  Před 4 lety

      Right, Korea is a peninsula so it is cut off from the rest of the world practically, things cost a bit more but you can find some nice things

    As I said on Twitter, super you will love it. Please do comment on the adapter and the rear lens working or not...! It is important as I think it could break some cameras. A.,

    • @Noealz
      @Noealz  Před 4 lety

      I don't think you have to worry about it with this lens, the only ones you need to watch out for are the Canons and any lens with a bayonet mount - this one is pretty flat : ) But right DSLR users usually have to worry more about this kinda stuff

  • @punkrachmaninoff
    @punkrachmaninoff Před 4 lety

    sold my mamiya 50mm f2, still quite possibly the sharpest lens i have ever adapted on my fuji X-T3.
    btw, another underrated lens to look out for which i can find almost nothing about on CZcams or the internet are the fujicas -- so damn sharp. much like the mamiya, almost too sharp for many situations.
    my other recent X-T3 favorite 50 on the street is the meyer optik gorlitz domiplan... 😭📸

    • @Noealz
      @Noealz  Před 4 lety

      I'm on the lookout for the Domiplan, luckily they are cheap online - but I have my eyes out for a decent fujinon also :)

  • @_H_2023
    @_H_2023 Před 4 lety

    Stick to Ebay you will find it much cheaper, a lot of those lenses had fungus and a real pain to take apart & clean especially if the lens was made in japan during the 70s all screws are sealed with lacquer and the screws are soft metal and can be easily be damaged etc.

    • @Noealz
      @Noealz  Před 4 lety

      I've only had trouble with these market lenses so far cleaning them :( But still came out great once I fixed it up!

    I got the adapter you told me about so I can use my vintage lenses on my t2i. On a couple of the lenses when I start to focus the lens it takes a picture. What is causing this to happen?

    • @Noealz

      That's really stange, to be honest that is the first time I have ever heard of that happening. Which lens are you using/

    • @TheBMCRET
      @TheBMCRET Před 4 lety

      It happened with a couple of them I will check them out in the morning and let you know. How can I tell if the lens is interfering with the mirror?
