Super random, but we have the same wedding ring. Great video.

[THiNKmediaTV]

@ryankates Crazy! thx!

[bpbduncan]

You remind me of Gerard Butler

[THiNKmediaTV]

@bpbduncan who is that?

[bpbduncan]

@THiNKmediaTV Man who played King Leonidas in 300

[Sgomogomo]

a damn good tuto

[THiNKmediaTV]

@Sgomogomo thx!

[harajukenene305]

wow i just spent 2,000 on canon lenses....i didnt know i could have gotten nikon lenses :(

[THiNKmediaTV]

@harajukenene305 shoot... they hold their value pretty well.  You can always sell them...

[baijan63]

hey, what could you say about using ikord 35mm adapter lens to your kit lens? thanks.

[THiNKmediaTV]

@baijan63 not sure.. ?

[scornofx]

what version is your 28mm cuz i seen some with difffrent letters like h and f for exp...and does it matter if its ai-s or ai

[THiNKmediaTV]

@scornofx just do as much research on Google to figure out what all the letters mean.

[robert7kim7]

Hey, I was wondering if the F-stop gets lowered with the adapter. For example, will my nikon 55mm f1.4 lens get reduced to a f2.4 due to the adapter? Thanks

[THiNKmediaTV]

@robert7kim7 no... if you get one with "glass" in the adapter... i think it might. Usually the loss of an f-stop is caused by "extenders."

[ivybatista1]

OMG, the camera really loves you.

[THiNKmediaTV]

@ivybatista1 thx... i think... :)

[MrNuun]

You mentioned "old" manual Nikon lenses. But will that adapter work with the new lenses? Like the Nikkor AF-S 35mm F1.8 G DX. It's not brand spanking new but that's a lens my local store has. Couldn't really find "old" manual Nikon lenses.

[THiNKmediaTV]

@MrNuun goggle it.

[glamRebellion7]

2 questions:

1)Would you positively recommend the Nikkor 50mm for filming on a Nikon D3100? Not in the position to buy a Canon right now, just working with what I've got.

2)Could we possibly date? Jk. But you're really cute and funny.

[THiNKmediaTV]

@glamRebellion7 1. yeah! 50mm is great lens for shooting video! 2. thx :)

[HeyItsJako]

Out of all of these what would be the best ONE for music videos. Can't spend money on all of these only one fore now. PLEASE REPLY.

[THiNKmediaTV]

@HeyItsJako get the 50mm 1.4 for around $ 100 ... thats the most band for your buck!

[HeyItsJako]

@THiNKmediaTV I found one and it says "With no AI" does this matter?

[THiNKmediaTV]

@HeyItsJako i don't believe so.. goggle it. :)

[ASerrant2]

I know this video is really is for well..video but think this'll work for still images!?

[THiNKmediaTV]

@ASerrant2 yes... but without Auto Focus and Light Metering... so its will be harder... but your can get great images with these lenses!

[THiNKmediaTV]

@ASerrant2 yes... but without Auto Focus and Light Metering... so its will be harder... but your can get great images with these lenses!

[Refused311]

@THiNKmediaTV Hey dude!

I m following your suggestions on the Nikkor Lenses and just bought the Nikkor S.C 50mm 1.4 + Nikkor-s 35mm 2.8 ! And the adapter that you suggsted! =) I wanna ask, have u ever tried that 35mm lens?

[THiNKmediaTV]

@Refused311 I want to get the 35mm --- it usually costs more so I have not gotten one yet.

[godswiph]

@Refused311 Hey... just curious. where did u purchase from???

[THiNKmediaTV]

@ASerrant2 yes, but without Auto Focus and Light Metering, so its will be harder, but your can get great images with these lenses!

[DamienTorrence]

I actually used a FD to EOS converter with a corrector piece of glass that allowed me to focus to infinity, the only downside is that you lose about a half a stop of light, otherwise it works great

[Sasody123]

Does the adapter work with the Canon 600D (T3i) ?

[THiNKmediaTV]

@Sasody123 yes!

[hirichardhai]

I just bought a 7D and don't have any lenses. thank you so much for this! i'll look into it.

[THiNKmediaTV]

@hirichardhai for sure!

[HiphopJunkieable]

nice video, nice chanel dude! tnx for the sugestion, i like the beats in background, and i hope that you will make more videos about DSLR's

[timzoneking]

the 2 dislikes maybe from rhode island

[theknights9]

awesome video... have you researched rokinon lenses? I hadn't heard of them until recently. But they are an old company

[ProductionsAviles]

dude your awesome imma subscribe!

[H60hadgi]

Dude, I could care less about cameras, but I stumbled across this looking for some other stuff and thought it was amusing so I watched it. Keep it up.

[JediFarce]

The 80-200mm would be nice if it weren't a push-pull. The constant aperture for an f/4 is a plus for doing video.

[aperkins07]

I don't see where he's getting all these prices.... nikon 28mm alone sells for $280 on amazon... 50mm 1.4 sells for about $300 and 80-200 for over $800..... this isn't cheaper.... I might as well stick with canon lenses

[JediFarce]

@aperkins07 You have to look around on ebay or Adorama, they're definitely there because that's where I purchased mine. They are cheaper when you weigh quality vs cost. THiNKmediaTV s right about the cheaper canon glass vs the older nikkor glass, I can confirm this because I have both. If you purchase any of the older nikkor glass, I'd recommend Adorama. They've got a rating system based on the condition of the lens which helps a lot.

[GeoIsACrazyDude]

what body are you using? and is that bitch expensive? cuz if it is... i needs some cheapo cannon video dslr bodie options homie? hmu and thanks in advance..

[HDv1de0]

Eos To fd Worked well for me. Did the adaptor have the extra layer of glass for infinity focus?

[RuqaiyahN]

hey! did you also do this somewhere for audio?? I hate syncing audio with the h4n and plural eyes. bleh.

[chrisjmolina]

Yo! Great video. Do you have any nikor replacement recommendations for a tokina 11-16mm?

[chrisjmolina]

Yo! Great video. Do you have any nikor replacement recommendations foro a tokina 11-16mm?

[godthemark]

This video literally changed my life. Seriously though, suddenly I have a ballin' film rig where instead I would have had an empty bank account and crippling hunger.

[GumbyFlexTen]

Nikon is better than Cannon

[TheAE35Unit]

LOL I don't know it you're using the same ebay as me, but a Nikkor 80-200 f4 for $80 9+ condition would be a steal. I'm seeing them go for around $150 with similar Series E lenses for about half that.

Also the 50mm 1.4 is going for around $300, 50mm 1.2 around $450. The 1.2 AIS still sells new for around $670

The 28mm 2.8 is around $140. If you got it for $40, you burned someone so bad, they're gonna need some aloe.

Still, all these Nikon/Nikkor lenses are a good deal.

[godthemark]

@TheAE35Unit I got my 28mm for $130 I think, the 50mm 1.4 is DEFINITELY around for under $100 though. Keep in mind you have to be looking through AI, AIS, Non-AI, etc etc. Not the modern Nikkors. Takes some hunting but I got the 28 2.8 and 50 1.4 for about $200 total and am absolutely blown away

[Graywhite12]

@TheAE35Unit

i picked up a 50mm 1.4 ai for $130....the lens he got was non ai so thats why it mightve been cheaper? im not exactly sure but regardless i havent seen any for $300 that are nikkor

[aesca151]

As far as the mildew, would it be easy to tell which lenses have it, and can it be removed from the lens?

[OGomann]

great video

[jrm637]

Great video. Both entertaining the whole way through AND resourceful. Rare in todays sea of horrible diy YouTube videos. Keep up the good work! I'm subscribing.

[bpbduncan]

What would you recommend as the first must have lens for video on a Canon EOS 600D or 60D say?

[thinkintl]

@bpbduncan how much money do you have to spend :)

[bpbduncan]

@thinkintl Not really sure. I guess for a first lens I could do about £200 or ~$300. I'll probably get a 50mm prime since that seems to be pretty standard. But what else is recommended for action and fast paced film type work? Thanks

[JOOZi9]

What about fisheye lenses for Canon Eos cameras. I want to use it for shooting pictures AND filming, but i don't want to pay too much. What do you recommend? Should i buy one of these Adapters to save more money or what??? Plz Help

[THiNKmediaTV]

@JOOZi9 I would get a 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye is you are on a crop sensor. Cheap on ebay. OR Sigma 10mm Fish... not cheap but you'll get auto focus. I have used both and like both!

[jmdevans]

So is oil on the blades good or bad?

[PinetreePr0ductions]

@jmdevans BAD BAD BAD!!!!

[thinkintl]

@jmdevans like PinetreePr0ductions said.... it's bad

[larybobjoeguy]

so what about the tamron  70-300 f/4-5.6 macro? i know f stop isnt the best but im looking for documentary filmmaking (which would include photos). what r ur thoughts?

[THiNKmediaTV]

@larybobjoeguy u really want fixed f/stop if possible :)

[freakurGma]

do i need an adapter if im using a nikon body?

[THiNKmediaTV]

@freakurGma i believe so... cause its old lens vs new style

[freakurGma]

@THiNKmediaTV thanks

[ellierocksurworld]

Dude, ur awesome! although you might have already known that! XD

[MELLOWJUDITH]

great video. i looked for these lenses on ebay...they wanted 170$-350 for each lens. hmmph. they must have seen your video.

[THiNKmediaTV]

@MELLOWJUDITH bummer.... keep looking... I shopped around a lot

[jackghawaii]

i like this guy. keep being cool!

[THiNKmediaTV]

@jackghawaii thx

[jonasocean]

what specific lense are you using?

[THiNKmediaTV]

@jonasocean shooting on a canon vixia w/ a opteka fisheye lens

[revcrystaldb]

what do you think about the t3i for videos?

[THiNKmediaTV]

@revcrystaldb great camera, if you want to save money tho get the t2i .. and google the magic lantern t2i hack... lots on indie filmmakers using that set up

[thelifewithoutfear]

do you film skating??

[THiNKmediaTV]

@thelifewithoutfear yes... check out youtube dot come slash clearvisionvideo :)

[thelifewithoutfear]

@THiNKmediaTV nice! i checked out skate montage 13, the one with the little kid. Well done, but i would recomend getting a Cruzer or a board with quieter wheels so that you can hear the skaters board more than the filmers. but nice!

[nokiwe7]

Sean you Are so Ghetto ! hahahahahaha

[THiNKmediaTV]

@nokiwe7 true :)

[xMicXMic]

Which one of these is best for event video?

[THiNKmediaTV]

@xMicXMic honestly I would use these for planned shoots... for events I would want 2 zooms.... 24-70 and a 70-200 ... maybe a super wide as well like a fisheye or 11-16 or something.....

[BravoCharlieTV]

Yah yah, clicked Like .. "sick video" etc. Got 5 FD's on my Sony Nex-5 and just digging up Nikons. Hectic cutting, I think I liked it, must have taken you ages, I did a music piece with the Nex-5 to a 24mm Kiron f2 with a VCL-DH0758 0.7x wide converter screwed on the end > "Dual-horn (Stroh) violin" viva le ghetto lens ebay grabs :)

[THiNKmediaTV]

@BravoCharlieTV thanks!

[ABSjazz]

Cheap body > cheap glass.

Expensive body < expensive glass.

You get what you pay for.

[THiNKmediaTV]

@ABSjazz true

[Pikors]

thanks for the info about that adapter, but man, the super cut-cut-cut-cut editing is really tiring... or give up caffein! Outside the hyper-active editing, thanks again for the info. I wanted to have known more about any image issues like vignetting, image distortion etc, that would be induced by the adapter as the focal length is altered.

[thinkintl]

@Pikors -- a non technical answer is -- the focal length is almost perfect -- which is not the case with canon FD adapting (and that's why some adapters introduce glass optics for correction) -- also check out the video links at the end of the video and see the videos I have done with them :) ----- I'll try and cut back on the caffeine also :)

[Pikors]

@thinkintl haha! ok great! Thanks for the reply, man! I'll have a look to the videos you mentioned. I'll get one of those adapters and if it doesn't work as expected (= just perfect), I'll mail you one of my shoes so you'll kick yourself with it, as I'm too far away from the US to do it myself! ;) Thanks again for the info!

[chrislasscom]

lool you made me laugh hard today! great information as always though brother!! peace

[clearvisionvideo]

@chrislasscom thx :)

[pokieste]

First time watching your video and I just have to say that you're cute! I got lost for a moment, hehe!

[LJtutorials]

great contents, Thanks for making it

[SpencerHirst]

have you been taking hilarious pills?

[brandiann09]

So if I were looking to buy these lenses for photo taking the only real difference would be that there is no auto focus? That sounds like a steal!

[thinkintl]

@brandiann09 -- yep! :)

[BelieveVideo]

so sick! great info, better than group on!

[MikeFolden]

Boom!

[MRjAvellaneda]

u using a fisheye for this video??

[THiNKmediaTV]

@MRjAvellaneda yes sir
