I love testing and reviewing vintage lenses, weird cameras, and beautiful cinematography on a budget.
Lens test - #CanonFD 28mm f/2.8 SC on #SigmaFP CDNG RAW
Testing the Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 SC with my SIgma FP in 1080p CDNG mode, with a Gobe variable ND filter. This is my first time using a Canon FD lens, and I love the bokeh and natural bloom I get from it. Filmed on Prince Edward Island, Canada. #PEI
Graded in Dehancer with Fuji Eterna Vivid 500 (exp. 2013) profile and Kodak 2383 Print. Only added grain, no extra halation or bloom.
The Gobe variable ND introduces a bit of a vignette and a green cast, so in the future I'll stick with a different ND.

The hands down best camera for simulating 8mm and 16mm gotta be the Blackmagic Pocket Camera original one. Its tiny, has really organic digital look, and you get 14bit 1080p RAW. Unless you just want to shoot 12bit ProRes. Someone 3D printed like a body for it with a grip and man its so good looking.
Preserve Company is such a nice spot! I worked there for a summer and loved it. Awesome video!
@@EvanEdrok it was beautiful!! Thank you!
Phenomenal work Alex! I can't believe the look you got out of that lens and Dehancer is really paying off. and obviously George is hilarious! I love that you got the firetruck thing!
Haha thanks Jon!!! I was wondering if anyone would pick up on George's word for "truck" 😂 So glad you liked it!!
Love it! Awesome-looking footage! Great work, Alex!! 🔥🔥
@@prislander55 thanks so much :)
❤ que hermoso que pinta ese lente.
Gracias!!
Absolutely fantastic mate. Home and vacation videos looking like they should be in the cinema 😁
@@Altcine thanks man!!! Really appreciate it!
Great captures
@@TenAfterTen thank you!!!
Wow HD RAW is plenty beautiful! I might try shooting with that. These are gorgeous footages by the way. I like how you have a camera store footage in there too😂
@@socksandbuttons4421 thank you so much! I love shooting HD raw and upscaling to 4K, I think it can upscale really well. And definitely HAD to include the camera store, haha
@@VietinghoffAlex Ohh you can upscale it I should try that. Thanks for the info. FinalCut or Premire to upscale?
@@socksandbuttons4421 I use DaVinci Resolve, but it should work in the others as well!
@@VietinghoffAlex Editing RAW and upscaling at the same time on Davinci, that makes sense! thank you for the tip!🙏
Clearly the problem with Super 8 is that you record so little material, that is, there are no tapes that record a minimum of 1 hour, a pity... and it is expensive to send to be digitized.
@@PANDRIUX big time, that's why I recorded 18fps instead of 24fps. Just to stretch it out a bit more
love the experiment brother 🤘
Thank you!! Just watched your GoPro Cinema Rig video, love that!
@@VietinghoffAlex🤪 much appreciated!
Really interesting video, I had just watched one by Van Neistat also, Thanks and you have a new subscriber Cheers Andrew in Ottawa Canada
@@andrewnoden9117 thank you, appreciate that! I saw his video too, really good!
I bought an Raf Camera step-up adapter for mine (paired with BMPCC OG) so I could screw on a x.45 Wide Angle Lens adapter. I just use it indoors so I can get about a 24" minimum focusing distance and ultra wide shots. The x.45 adapter distorts at the edges but I personally enjoy non clinical imperfect looks. The RAF adapter allows me to use ND filters as well. Nice videos - I found your channel via ALT CINE, and we're East Coast neighbours too, Cheers!
@@aaronw8525 awesome, thank you! I have the Raf step up ring, which I used for my variable ND. Does the wide angle adapter give you a closer minimum focusing distance? That would be amazing for this lens since the default close focus is brutal. Where on the East Coast are you?
Pick a 3d printer, you will find it super useful
@@bassbeats92 any recommendations for a cheap, but good one? Any particular brands that stand out?
@@VietinghoffAlex bambu labs a1 is really good for the price
@@VietinghoffAlex Flashforge Adventure 2 and 3 are pretty forgiving newbie friendly 3D printers, not sure you have them where you live but enclosed temperature control is very handy when you start out since this is where most people fail at first.
I think old super 8 cameras use d-mount lenses maybe try those next on a similar setup?
I have installed version 2.0.3 firmware by mistake and want to put magic lantern on it. Can anyone help me?

This footage looks how memories feel. Beautiful work!
Wow, that's an amazing compliment to receive, thank you!!
Alex, I love your tech updates! Thank you.
Thank you, Cat! Appreciate it :)
nostalgic! I would love to know your grading workflow...these shots look straight out of a movie!
Thank you!!! For this one I just had a simple workflow in DaVinci Resolve - I decoded the CDNGs to P3 D60 Linear, then did a Color Space Transform to Arri Log C, then graded using Dehancer, as a Kodak 50D Film Emulation, with Kodak 2383 Print Film, and tweaked the colour heads to bring out the greens more, and added grain.
@@VietinghoffAlex Lovely...using P3 D60 doesn't lose any color fidelity, does it?
@@suyogmarlecha4466 Nope, from what I've read it's the truest colour space for raw data, so I almost always decode CDNGs that way and then Color Space Transform into whichever camera colour space the sensor is closest to.
@@VietinghoffAlex great
Damn man! You're making want to revisit this camera 🤌🏾🤌🏾
@@Altcine thanks!! Definitely really liking it! Just wish so badly that it had gyrologging for stabilization
@@VietinghoffAlex that would actually work well seeing as it's fullframe.
@@VietinghoffAlex Yess..Sigma should give us just one update...gyrologging and its ok then of they are done with the fp!
nice..subscribed
Awesome!! Thanks!
Did you find any help replacing the button ribbon on here?

@@GregAsdourian A friend and I replaced his button ribbon cable recently, just takes a few tries to make sure you really line up the little black knobs in the tiny holes.
Wow, MIR 10A is hella expensive even in Russia ($300), shocking price after cheap Helios lenses
@@snappy8k I know, and the Mir 20mm is ever pricier!!

Is this a CCTV lens? I know C mount lenses are fine, but do CS mount lenses work with MFT cameras? I found Kowa f/1.6 3.5-10mm from a random $15 CCTV camera, and wondering is it any good lol. I heard about Kowa but not in a CCTV world. I searched "Arecont Vision" and found lots of IP cameras with zoom lenses.
Yup, it is a CCTV lens! One thing I didn't make clear in my video is that with the conversion the GoPro becomes natively CS mount, but comes with a small CS to C mount spacer so it can natively take C mount too.
@@VietinghoffAlex what does IR corrected lens mean? Will it work fine on BMPCC? Sounds like an awesome combination because how small the setup is.
Using such setup in a trip, sounds really hard
It was pretty easy!
Will it work for Lumix 20mm 1.7? 🤔 Could be a cool matching set of 14 + 20
Good question! If I can get my hands on one I'll test it out! I've read that it works on the Lumix 12-42!
Saw your Lumix 14mm mod with Ulanzi anamorphic adapter in Instagram, do you have any examples of this setup?
Yup, in this Short here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsMfwuaHoa9ec?si=1LssYR7V-J0neo57
Good job! I plan to buy Dehancer soon. I use vintage prime lenses for cinema as well. I like the Canon FD 24mm f2.8 I bought new in 1973, plus the Canon FL 58mm f1.2.
Thank you! Amazing, I'm working on building out a Canon FD set right now, just need an 85mm to round mine out! And when you buy Dehancer please consider using my code HOFF10 ;)
This is one of my favorite classic lenses for the BMMCC with the C to MFT adapter. Performs flawlessly and gives you such a stunning image. I am glad to see others using this lens.
Glad to hear it, mine too!!
At 12 seconds - the side by side shows my money was well spent. From there on, it just kept confirming the differences. Thanks to you for Testing and Thanks to Cole for making them available at a reasonable cost.
Glad to hear it!!
Just bought a gopro and a similar lens. Care to describe settings to achieve this?
Which GoPro? And is it a Back-Bone modified one?
@VietinghoffAlex Yep, grabbed a backbone hero 11 based on your video.
@@officially.nguyening awesome, so glad to hear it!! I'd install GoPro Labs for the 11 (you can look up on the GoPro site how to do that), then using GoPro Labs turn down sharpening, noise reduction, and make it a flat colour profile. Then shoot in 4:3 mode if desired, as well as try to attach an ND to the lens so you can keep the shutter at 180° from the frame rate!!
Thank you. Can you use a BMPCC 0.58x speed booster with OLPF?
Haven't tested it yet, I have two Metabones EF-MFT 0.58x speedboosters though, I'll try them out.
@@VietinghoffAlex Thank you for the test shot. I would be also courious about x0,58 compatibility! Important question. Dont you felt the image get too soft? Looks promising however and colors are much much nicer!
Personally I didn't find it too soft, I actually normally use mainly vintage lenses so I like the look!
@@VietinghoffAlex Thx for the answer. If you have time please try out and let us know if the Speedbooster x0.58 is okay with the filter. That is an important question however measurements tell it should work nicely without touching each others surface. With a short test footage about softness, that would be super helpful for many of us.
I couldn't get it to work with my 0.58x Metabones EF-MFT speedbooster, but apparently it works with the 0.64x. I'll try to test that one out soon!
Hope this will become available soon!
I think the next batch comes out in a couple weeks!
Thank you Alex, really appreciate the tests bro. You rule!
My pleasure!! I'll definitely be talking about the OLPF in my in-depth BMMCC video soon!
Thanks bunches for this! I'd been thinking about checking out anamorphic lenses for my DSLR but for mere tests they were all a tad too expensive for me. This is a great alternative for experimentation.
Awesome, happy to help!!!
Absolutely fantastic 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks, man!!!
still looks like digital color grading, I'm sorry.
Where did you get those Arri decals. I can’t find any anywhere?
I made them myself by uploading a PNG from the internet to StickerMule!
This would be perfect as a bts cam for when I'm on big shoot days and need my other cameras at the ready.
Definitely!!
hey, which magnifier/eyepiece and grip did you use?
The grip is actually a Digital Bolex grip, the loupe is this one: www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B09FNVGH6M?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
Why did you put a film emulation on the digital footage? If your goal was to compare a vintage lens on an 8mm camera vs. the GoPro, slapping a film filter over the GoPro footage makes the comparison moot. We can't see the differences. Why don't you just denoise the 8mm footage while you're at it?
The purpose was to specifically see how they compare as a Super 8-type camera. I also have a bunch of footage in there from the GoPro without the emulation. And you can find any GoPro footage online that will give you a sense of the GoPro sensor colours and motion cadence. The only difference with mine is that it has an interchangeable lens :)
Or just buy a split camera for fpv and put it inside a broken super 8 camera to use the lens assembly . or use the cinepi project with the global shutter sensor and do the same. Also old CCD cameras that have video work too. panasonic fz48/47 being my favorite for that, depends if you're ok with 25fps europe version , US will probably be 30. But you can find the service manual with instructions on how to change location I thing, I'm from Europe so It was 25fps already . Some canon and JVC cameras have 24fps video in CCD but for 720p, a1200 for canon and I forgot what jvc. Went down a big rabbit hole with this a few years ago and bought these cameras for around £10-20.
I really want to make or test a CinePi! That's high up on my list of camera projects this year. Also been watching some videos of people installing Rpi cameras and similar inside old Super 8 cameras. I think I'll try CinePi first, then that! Thanks :)
@@VietinghoffAlex probably best to start with cinepi, because it’s about the same price as the rest really and you get raw. Plus you can do custom hardware controls with cinemate .
@@mirelchirila Awesome. Has there been any development using it with RPI5 yet?
@@VietinghoffAlex I don’t know, I got a pi4 off eBay for my stuff . And to be fair why spend the money on anything else , especially since it’s cheaper. What would be cool would be some new sensors, maybe something bigger. Like the arducam global shutter one. There’s another cool pi camera project for webcams , another UA-cam channel forgot the name Jeff something has a good script on that one. And looking through the readme files on their git they might have bigger sensor support. They use a pi zero , that’s way smaller. Another thing I’d love to have would be log gamma , and I’ll have to read the manual on that one , because there’s got to be a way to modify picture profiles. Although I’m not sure now but the pi5 might have more data lanes to the sensor so maybe we can get better resolution when it gets up and running on that platform. Honestly the sensor to cpu part of it is new electronics to me . They have their own protocols and configurations that require a lot of research. I got a bit into that with ccd but nothing bar a few Wikipedia entries with modern sensors. Spoiler alert there are good reasons video took off on cameras only after cmos sensors 😂😂😂😂, and the ones that did it on ccds, were rarely pure ccds.
Is it a loseless-compressed-RAW or uncompressed raw (~1MB 640x480/24)?
It is uncompressed CDNG 12-bit raw. But you can losslessly compress it by using Slimraw
@@VietinghoffAlex It takes a lot of space. On a 2TB card less than 300h in 640x480/24 frames/1bit of color per pixel. Let's say 1920x1080/30/12 bits 88MB/s Seven hours on a 2TB card.
Haha. The ending sequence was gold. Really enjoyed the vid. 👏
Thanks you!!
it's a $400 LUT generator

Great video! I have a similar eq/workflow. What quality did you land on for the assimilate dng export? 3:1 Lossy seems to be recommended.
