Yes, 5DIII seems to be the ultimate choice for prosumer videography, but I almost feel guilty getting it as my entry camera.
#Helios lens photos upgrade#
For example, if I get a crop sensor like 60D or 7D (because of the flexibility of lens for long shots), would at least some lens be transferable if I choose to upgrade to/add a full frame body? I’m more concerned about future needs, like lens options and compatibility. So, please help me if you can: I’m wondering if there is any more info you could add based on your experience with video on your cameras. That is until you didn’t have much to say in terms of video-related benefits.īackground: this would be my first DSLR and I’m primarily interested in shooting video…and luckily I can afford a “premium” camera. Most reviews I’ve looked at so far lean towards the 6D because its benefits/cost factor when compared to the 5DIII… And now, your article almost sealed the deal for me on the 6D. I’m really confused between the 5DIII and 6D… especially with the option of getting a crop sensor body (which supposedly can have its benefits in terms of lens choices). Веселиться Categories REVIEWS Tags Helios 1.Thanks for this article. It is available as new lens and it really is a no brainer if you need a fast 85mm lens, love bokeh, vintage color rendering and the best you can get for portrait photography, than this is your lens! It is certainly the Bokeh monster from the seventies and maybe for all time. The lens is not easy to find on eBay and due to the high demand the Helios 40-2 85mm f/1.5 was updated for modern DSLR mounts and put back into production in Russia. Images taken with the Helios 40-2 on a digital Sony A7III, without any filters or modified in editing software.
See below some pictures I took with this fantastic lens. This allows you to predetermine the desired aperture range. The lens, like many other Helios lenses, works with a pre-aperture ring. The focus is very fine due to the smooth-running and very long focus throw. Not a ballistic missile, but the whole, big and long Helios lens. The lens mount is M42 (original Zenit), but can also be connected to any modern digital (APS-C and Fullframe) camera with adapters. At the front, the lens has a whopping 67 mm filter size, so a lot of light enters. Lots of glass and together with the full metal housing, the lens weighs no less than 850 grams! The extra tripod connection is therefore not an unnecessary luxury. The lens is of high quality: 10 blades in the diaphragm, 6 elements in four groups. The original warranty that came with the lens in 1975. With the right light behind the object, everything will also turn, a unique and beautiful effect if you use it sparingly. It is a lens for romantics, for captivating portraits, for picturesque pictures. It is a lens for people who like blurry backgrounds, who want to isolate subjects. But you do have a lot of room for that, because the lens runs from a fast F1.5 up to F22. At full aperture, only the center is sharp and you will have to stop down considerably for landscape photography. Helios 40-2, a very fast F1.5 lens and ideal for 85 mm portraits.
But instead of an error, this became the success of the well-known 44-2 50 mm lens and also of this 85 mm. It is actually the result of a faulty lens construction that causes the background to rotate under incident light. ‘Swirley bokeh’ has become the trademark of the famous Zenit Helios lenses, without the Russians willingly having their hand in it. But best and unsurpassed in charm and breathtaking Bokeh, bokeh…and bokeh.
‘Best’ not expressed in performance, sharpness, contrast or other technical aspects. That said, the Helios 44-2 is at the top of my list of favorite vintage lenses. At least from Russia, where normally little stable quality can be expected when it comes to lenses or cameras.
