this guy makes insane footage with the most insane gear.. mind blown

[mynameistooey]

thank you so much for taking the time to create and post this video keep up the great work this is a fantastic working video example of vintage fd lens quality

[babalolaallengege]

Honestly I feel in love with the EOS M just watching your Video

[theonlinething]

I could watch your content all day long without getting bored. Well, at least that‘s what I did today

[INSTINCT]

Amazing footage! Keep rollin :) Have that lens too it's awesome! Can recommend it for photo too!

[AlexThePhenex]

How does this lens compare to the one in your newer review the super takumar f1.4 lens

[kingpossie]

It’s my favorite of the FD lenses I own

[danwildersaidso]

That intro alone made me subscribe!! 🤣🤣

[FotodioxInc]

:D Hilarious intro :D - we love FD lenses here at Fotodiox, as well as Magic Lantern :)

[Skandalista_fotograf]

Got this lense on my SonyA7 but never thought actually about filming with it. Thank you for inspiring .

[soundsheavenly]

Nice one! Loving the video quality ;-) Can't wait to get my old EOS M back from my friend to get Magic Lantern loaded on. I use vintage M42 lenses on my EOS M3 and I get great photos with the standard software but I can't match your video quality!

Great video as always, love the pull focus effects and spectacular lighting with great editing, you seem to have good weather in Australia. I have many FD lenses from my days with the Canon F1 and FTB bodies, glad I kept them all as I had a big collection, perfect for video and stills even today, love the humble Canon EOS M produces such good video with Magic Lantern, much more stable now with a wide choice of resolutions and crops factors, the video editors get better everyday, I love using Davinci Resolve and will get myself a new Apple Mac Mini with the M1 chip to make my editing more enjoyable

[yesthisisdonut]

i've shot pretty much exclusively with this lens for about a year now and it really is great. stopping down to f2 really increases it's resolution and contrast! i don't know how much 120 AUS dollars are in € but that lens is available for around 70€ in a pretty good condition in europe. a lot of fun to be had! there are also speedboosters from FD to EF-M and i'm using one of those with my m50 and this lens. i can shoot most things below ISO 1000 with it :)

[omnihassan]

Yep that's the look..same as chrome nose version?

[anbar]

Not a fan of 50mm (my standard lens is 40mm), but when I need one, the Canon Fd f1, 4 is my first option.

[FrankieTheOne]

Great video. Can you also get the FDN 50mm 1.2 and do a comparison, please?

[erikbrinkman]

Bought one for €60! Can't wait to try it on the BMPCC 6k

[sasankl.r.]

Stunning footage. Can this Canon FD 50mm F1.4 be mounted on a Canon EOS M50 without any stabilizers/Speedboosters?

[dpixvid]

Great vid as usual! I have a bunch of FD, Takumars & C/Y Zeiss all great! In shoot the 50 1.4 also 😊 I want to try the 24 f/2 or 2.8 someday!
My question is about a possible online reference page(?) defining the various resolutions & crops modes for ML for EOS M? It’s very confusing to figure out in the field the different choices when testing.
Any ideas? Thanks you’re an awesome resource! The king of EOS M!!!

[alwaysnormalneverweird]

You're an absolutely amazing person Zeek! A born cinematographer. Btw If you can, have a look at some canon eos m videos I have been making all thanks to your instruction!
