free shipping for a $26k lens 😂😂😂😂
If only I could get one for the upcoming eclipse😂
It's like asking if a 10,000 to 25,000 $/€/£ hotel room is with the breakfast included. 😂
@@CongThanhContentthat would be fair 😂😂
@@u.e.u.e.absolutely, doesn't make any sense 😂😂😂
That's like the free keychain holder they give you when you buy a new car haha
That's a great video my guy, I didn't even notice how few subs you had before you said it... your production quality is insane
Appreciate it! Some one just brought it up to me and said that I should just mention in the video so I gave it a shot 😂
@@CongThanhContentthey gave you good advice, I subscribed after that🤘
Definitely has the polish of more established channels
I fully second this comment. Amazing content and narration!!
The "craziest lenses" will always likely be telescopes. For instance, Celestron has an 8" RASA telescope at f/2, which is the equivalent of 400mm. The cost is $2K, which seems low for a camera lens of 400mm, f/2. Of course, they're intended for deep space, and not terrestrial applications.
or a RC astrograph scope that’s like 20k+
Fair enough! Looks like I only scratched the surface 😂
What is even crazier for RASA: The camera sits in Front of the telescope
tbf, sigma had a 200-500 f2.8
tbf again, it cost a lot more than this lol
me trying to catch a greatly blurred background for a fly on my window: *OH YEAH BABY, STAY LIKE THAT, WOOOOOOO*
There's also a number of Canon EF 1200 mm f/5.6 L that are out. The lens was not only massive 36 pounder, but had a small price tag of $89,999 MSRP. This was debauted back in 1984 during one the LA Olympic.
Canon recently made a slower rf lens but for 20k, Canon RF 1200mm f/8 L IS USM.
Pentax likewise had a 1200mm f8 lens. It's a bargain at less than 10K
Nikon made some 1200-1700mm f5.6 - f8 AI lenses. Not hand holdable of course. Nowadays 800mm lenses are sort of hand holdable I think.
i think was 70k in some point of the production.... half price in advance and 6 month to delivery
the 1200/5.6 is absolutely iconic. Back when I was a kid with a 300D and a 70-200/4 I used to lust over that thing in catalogues - a bit sad perhaps!
Me too a bit later when I got my 400D. Even the 400mm f5.6 let alone the 800mm!
A short note: the theoretical maximum achievable f-stop for an optical system refracting in air is f/0.5.
underrated comment
A bit more specific, f/0.5 is the maximum theoretical aperture of an _aplanatic_ (only corrected for spherical aberration and coma) distortion-free lens on-axis in air, assuming no transmission losses. If you allow for distortion, and spherical and coma aberrations, one can go a bit faster still. (Source: Applied Photographic Optics, Sidney F. Ray, Third Edition, Focal Press, 2002)

Sheesh !
What a fantastic video !
Instantly subbed
Nice work man I look forward to anything new you put out
Thank you!! Hopefully going to get one of these out a month hopefully and maybe 1 or 2 smaller pieces! I found some really cool stories that really could of been its own videos entirely! So might dabble in that?!
That was great! I just discovered you but thoroughly enjoyed what you put together. Keep up the great work. I’m already a fan.
Welcome aboard! More to come!
Amazing facts. You did some great research. Thank you.
this is mad impressive, i was procrastinating on homework and saw this video in my recommended, up untill you said something i thought you were some channel with 100-200k+ subs, ur style is super calming and this video was really fun to watch! good luck in the future!!
Thanks man! I hope so one day!!
Great content man! I had no idea you had so few subs. Keep it up!
Fun and well put together video, keep them coming!
Thanks man!! Trying for a couple videos a month!
This is fantastic dude. You’ve got a gift! Very well done.
Thank you! This means alot to me!!
Honestly, loving all your work so far! Shocked you don’t have more subs yet!!! 🙌
Thank you so much!!
Great content! The production is better than most large channels. I hope you continue to make more videos like this!
Thanks! Im planning the next one soon!
Nice vid and great research.
Very fun video, dude! Of course I subscribed. Keep it up!
Great research!
Great video, I enjoyed it. So many lenses I did not know exist. That first 270° fov lens was crazy
Absolutely bonkers! Hopefully I can go test it one day!!
This is some insane quality for such a new channel ! Keep it up man ! 😃
Thank you!
@CongThanhContent looking forward to part two,you earned a subscriber !
Love this video idea. Love this series. Photography CZcams is too often caught up with gear for pros in mind. But photography is also a hobby and learning about cool photographic stuff that has nothing to do with purchasing decisions is really refreshing.
Brilliant use of stock footage at 1.56 seconds! (this is exactly how I hoped it would be used ) always fun to watch some of my clips in other productions.
Awesome man! Thanks for sharing them!!
The Nikon 13mm f/5.6, "The Holy Grail', the widest non distorting professional ultrawide lens ever made. The Zoom-Nikkor 1200-1700mm f/5.6-8P IF-ED the longest zoom ever made for the 35mm full frame format.
12mm f5.6 from laowa?
7artisans made a 9mm f/5.6 that practically has no distorsion and is suitable for full frame
For being so fresh to youtube, your video quality is "up to par", if not better than a lot of people that have been in this for a long time. Subscribed... and let's see what you got.
Awesome thanks man! Welcome to the team
Jeze bro this video is amazing
Bro you doin so nice edits i enjoy watching and i sub
Go ahead Bro, keep going !!
this is legit high quality stuff.... underated
Nice work bro, subbed.
You are seriously underrated man! Good work and keep on the grind!
Thanks!! 🫡
love the video!, mabye for part 2 try to find the cheapest and most expensive lens, would be fun to see the diffrence
Great suggestion! Might be cooking something like that up soon 🤫
this is so educative! the history as well 🔥🔥🔥
Trying something new! Was alot of fun researching these crazy things!
love this video so much, had no idea the green giant wasnt meant to face the sun! there go my plans
Great video :)
Great work! You should have millions of Subs!
one day hopefully!
Very enjoyable video to watch as well as informative.
Glad to hear it!
Well done .very enjoyable film
u new?? looks so professional, lets gooo, u can be big fr fr
Thanks man! Yeah I only started a few month ago! Glad to be around though!
US inteligence watching end of video... "cute toy".
"Back when we had budget restrictions"
Great Video, keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Superb video, though sometimes I found it a tad too fast paced. Looking forward for more!
Thanks for letting me know! I'll tone it done next time. I edit at 2x-3x speed usually so I don't even remember what normal is anymore 😂
crazy production values, nice man
Thanks man!
Nice video!
You forgot to mention the very big Zeiss 1700mm F4 for Hasselblad 6x6 (256Kgs !) for Qatar state, and also the amazing Nikon Nikkor 300mm f2.0 ED Telephoto Lens (7Kgs) !
Hey man, great video! I spend the whole video wondering whether your backdrop is Ai generated or not, because it's so majestic, but 11:47 convinced me it's real :DDD Keep up the good work
Hundreds of years ago when I ran Freezeframe Studios in Gloucester we borrowed the Nikon lens to shoot some architecture in Gloucester Cathedral - stunning
Could of retired by now if you just a couple of them 😂 That's awesome though!
Thank you very much for this hilarious but factual video. You've spiced up my Saturday evening by making me laugh at least 5 times with your video and the comments by your other viewers.
I'm glad you loved it! Cheers!
Man your editing and video making is superb. You should teach a class how.
Subscribed 🤙 like your style 👊
Welcome aboard!
Ohhh, I'd love to play with the Zeiss 50mm f0.7 😁 That was a fun video! If I hadn't focused on Retro computer trash for my channel, I'd have most likely focused on weird photography stuff instead! 😂 Subbed!
Great video
Please part 2, 3, 4… !! 😉
You got it!
Awesome video and entertaining content! I bought a ZhongYi Optics 0.95 EF lens for my 5D MK3. Love that lens!
Awesome! That's the 50mm right?!
@@CongThanhContent Yep! It's also known as the mitakon-speedmaster-50mm-f-0-95-iii-canon-ef . There's a very extensive review on it by Christopher Frost on his YT channel.
Oh he's the goat! I check out his stuff all the time!!
@@CongThanhContent Indeed! I bought the lens because of his review! :D The title of his video is "The brightest DSLR lens ever : Mitakon 50mm f/0.95 (for Canon EF) lens review"
nice video man!
Thanks! More to come!
I also want to say that it's very interesting video. Also thought first that you are very popular. Keep doing these interesting videos
Really pro looking video.
The f0.8 Voightlander 29mm deserved a mention. It may be MFT but it is still widely available.
You've done a great job by doing all that research 👏
Thank you!
This video was absolutely amazinh
Thank you!
Why is your channel not called "King Cong" ????? Also, you just gained another sub! Well done!
thanks! King Cong is my dads name, didn't think it was a good fit
The Canon 50-1000 seems like it would fit well on this list
Great video :)
Tu t'en sort super bien.
Great start
Try ELCAN and their designs in the
1960’s
very very very nice video
Garret Brown invented the Steadicam, Guilio helped develop it further. He may also have come up with the name Steadicam but this is disputed.
Yeah I should of rephrased this, originally I scripted it as "innovator of cinema products", but when I went to record I said it accidentally said inventor 😅
Super interesting. You would have fun exploring the weird world of catadioptric lenses aka mirror lenses.
That would be cool!
man i love seeing new photographer youtuber i wanna be like you man but right now ill just stay as a photographer
ima support ya bro keep at it
Thanks man! Can live vicariously through me 😂
Really enjoyed this content. For camera, I’d love to see your take on the Zeiss Ikon Contarex Bullseye. It is beautifully but overly engineered and is the product of a tremendous R&D budget and came out in 1959 as the hopeful camera of choice for professional photographers. This was followed by the lighter, cheaper, easier to maintain, solid workhorse of a camera, the Nikon F in 1960 which, in fact, become the go-to for professionals and effectively ended Zeiss Ikon as camera company. The Contarex is a joy to hold and to use but a cautionary tale of over-engineering.
wow, your quality is insane for just starting out, good luck on your journey
Hopefully I'm not a one hit wonder 😂
hi, just to point out Ed Digiulio didnt invent the steadicam, he founded the company that developed it but it was invented by Garret Brown
where'd you get that Sarnia Lambton street view image in the background, i live in the area and thought it's pretty cool
Zimblee.studio on Instagram! She's a local designer. If you reach out I'm sure she'd do a reprint!
The 7artisans 4mm fisheye is a pretty wild addition too fr. 225 degrees of vision lets you see behind you but youll get your fingers alot till you get the hang of it
My man you have been blessed by the algorithm, dope video
They knew it was time 🥹
@@CongThanhContent You really were blessed. 100k views now
My Picasso piece I'll never top this 😂 next video I'm working on is pretty funny though
You can buy the Voigtländer Super Nokton 29mm f/0.8 today. It's the fastest production lens. And it's less than 1800$.
I am currently considering buying a Zeiss Mirotar that costs nearly 6k. But it's 1/205 and supposedly optically perfect and apochromatic.
I already own a 150mm f/1.0 lens. Which is massive and kinda expensive. It's not even made out of glass.
If you want truly weird lenses: look at telecentric lenses. Which have effectively infinite focal length and gives you an orthographic image with no perspective.
There is also a Applied Science video on Hyperventric optics. A lens that lets you look "around" objects.
and finally you can make a multi hole pinhole lens. To get a wide angle stich.
Hey man! Awesome comment! Definitely interesting stuff! If I end up pursue those for a future video is there anyway I could get some photos/video of those?!
@@CongThanhContent there is a website called allphotolenses that has a really great dataset of lenses ans variations. they usually like sample photos, reviews and videos.
For some of the rare lenses you might get a single sample gallery on Flickr and that's it. Not even a sensationalized CZcams video (like there is some for the Nikon 6mm).
The 150mm f/1 lens is for thermal cameras and seemingly not that rare. And there is even crazier lenses that reach boule limit for the front element.
For all kinds of scientific lenses, usually Edmund optics on CZcams has demos.
Thanks for the info on Stanley Kubrick. I thought he used a fast but available projection lens - I had no idea he had a special lens from Zeiss. I also didn't know about the "3 wick candle" trick! It's fascinating how filmmakers come up with unique solutions to problems.
Clean video man, good luck with YouTubing
Thanks for fun content 😂
Any time!
I installed Helios44-2 on Canon 5Dc, the result is amazing!
The distance of the object taken by last lens isn't a big issue. I can photograph Andromeda with my lenses and it is a lot further than 52 miles!😜
The sheer pettiness of Zeiss making the Super Q.....I love it. Bokeh is overrated!
I have a Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 manual focus lens for my M6 mark II. That is my fastest lens. My setup for longest reach is to put a teleconverter (2x) on a 75-300. I get decent moon pix at 600mm. The craziest lens I have is an old FD mount 135mm f/2.8 with an adapter for FD to EF-M with the lock. I works just fine on my M6 mark II.
F0.5 is the speed limit for conventional lenses.
The only thing outrageous is how outrageously handsome you are in your studio.
Thanks brother!
Two good lenses that have no equivalents in terms of range and quality :
for photo use, covers full frame : Canon EF 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 L lens (I have one copy, if you need samples I can give you some)
for cinema use, covers S35 sensors (cinema's APS-C) : Angénieux Optimo 12x 24-290mm T2.8
That would be awesome man!!! Let's keep in touch for sure! I didn't even scratch the surface of absurd video lenses 😂
Just a side note, Ed Di Guilio only oversaw the development of the Steadicam, Garret Brown invented the Steadicam. Brown licenses the Steadicam to Cinema Product Corporation, Guilio was head of the company.
DIY Perks lens solution is amazing too
I checked it out! Soo coool!!! Maybe I'll try to get my hands on one!!
When you leave basic photography there are lots of gnarly lenses. The ones used on police helicopters, imax projectors, lyre concert lights... I have a sun optics 24-40 macro, very unusual design and wide macro shots look really cool. That's quite uncomon ig
Definitely need to scope into those!
I wish they would just do a 24-70 f/1.8 with OIS, and a 70-200 f/1.8 with OIS.
Sony 24-70 f2 is a rumor that's going around!
Canon make an RF 28-70mm f/2
I believe I had the pleasure to see the giant Sigma lens as a kid. I remember standing behind a huge green camera lens and use it to spot my parents. Considering I was tiny back then it could aslo be that it was a slightly smaller version. I wish I had a picture of that day
Have had an eye on a Rayxar for a while now, might have to buy it after this haha
Hahaha happy modding!!
Hee, hee... I had the privilege to get my hands on a Canon EOS-1D (??Mark II?) when it came out in the early 2000's. That was a time when consumer cameras had less than 5 MP.
This 1D was equipped with a brand new Canon lens F/0.95. I don't remember the focal length anymore. Was it 50? Was it 85? Too long ago. 🤷♂️
The camera was in the hands of a pro photographer who wanted to shoot something near me.
I was sooooo thrilled that I asked him if I might look through it. But I didn't wait for the response. 😂
It took me about 1 second and the camera was not in his hands anymore, the strap not around his neck but around my neck. 🤣
I pointed on my father under very low light conditions and made a portrait that blew me away.
The photographer let me copy that file in full resolution. I printed it in 20 by 30 cm (8" by 12 ").
The F/0.95 is really the edge of practicality. The camera focussed on the eyes of my father, the ears almost disappear in blur, even the tip of his regular sized nose starts to be blurred - crazy. 😎🤭
So awesome! I would love to try one, one of these days!
@@mikafoxx2717 What are you talking about? What does this have to do with my original message? 🤷♂️
@@mikafoxx2717 I think you're right. I did a looooot of research. 🤭
So it was probably not 0.95 but 1.0 or 1.2 and one of these 3:
- EF50mm f/1.0L USM (1989)
- EF85mm f/1.2L II USM ( March 2006)
- EF50mm f/1.2L USM (January 2007)
The last 2 are likely regarding the date of release. But as it is now almost 20 years ago I really don't remember if it was 50 or 85 mm. The result was incredible. The portrait I shot with that expensive equipment (it was a spontaneous snapshot) is hanging in a frame in the apartment of my parents.
The camera back then was most likely a EOS-1Ds Mark II. Mark III is rather unlikely.
My 50mms f1.8 is pretty wild
Barry Lyndon is worth a watch based on this fact alone
The helios 44 was originally silver, then became black. The silver ones are m39 mount and the 44-2m is in M42 mount. They also had other mounts... BUT! Look up the bigger brother the Helios 40. It is 85mm f1.5, it has crazier swirls and sharper center.
09:26 The funny part: just 10-15 years ago it costed literally 1$-10$ for used one, nobody wanted to use such a soft and heavy lens on DSLR. Rubbish. Lots of them - just got dumped, due to this.
I got mine during 2015-2016, It suffers from many things like front light, too overtight focusing ring, fungus, very fluctuated image quality, very bad at night on fast aperture, too soft.
Even at F4 - it stills to be considered as "soft quality". This is just a dust cover while having nothing but stock DSLR kit lens, better, but can't be used on a commercial basis.
At the same time, the Canon EF50 F1.8 - was a great option to have for around same 10-50$ (lol) for good used one.
The cost for helios was like 50-500 rubles (1.5$-15$), now it is kinda 500-2000 rubles (5.5$-22$)
The cost for canon was like 500-1500 rubles (15-100$), now it's kinda 1500-6000 rubles (16$-65$)
I'd love to get for $2 😂 here it costs minimum $30 to ship 😰
@@CongThanhContent lolwut, 30$ for this - is way too much, mate
Ask your friends, probably you can get it with somebody during travel flights or so :D
btw: Canon's 50mm FD lens (radioactive one) - is a much interesting thing to buy, just sayin'
based on what i read online years ago, that 52C Canon lens was ordered by either the American army for photographing nuclear bomb tests, or by NASA ... (or both?)
imagine you have feeling that someone's watching you and then some guy 30 km away be like ah so this is what is he doing
Don't need to imagine! You could own it!
Consider any of the Smooth Trans Focus lenses that allow bokeh adjustment using two diaphragms. I am aware of three versions. Nikon and Sony made one for their mounts but the cheaper and easier one is the Laowa 105mm f/2.0 T3.2 STM available in several mounts.
