Cheap Lens Face-off - Holga Lens vs PinWide

[Riccardo931000]

With the Canon what f/stop i need to use?

[forrestwasko]

You don't shoot a pinhole without a tripod... Low ISO + Long Exposures.

[ojlondon85]

haha these guys are great ! good review too

[FooYeezy]

what kind of camera bag is lok carrying

[ravengenesis]

3:54 best freaking description of the focusing aid ever!

[Mixboxification]

Cheapo M42 lens anybody? It whipes the floor with both these :D

[cjdavda]

I bought the Holga lens last Christmas, and I have to say, it's pretty hard to use. You have to use it like a point and shoot, but also plan out where you shoot. Indoors is waaaay too dark, same thing when its cloudy. It's like having an infinite amount of 120 film.

[nasron88]

canon camera , nikon strap . haha .

good combination

[VDroid711]

Lok hai dou Gup lui LOL

[justinmumm]

'P' mode is for 'Practice'



[baldycoup]

lol @die and get buried in the mountain???

[tamahome5555]

LOL 2:44

Lok : It's made from some durable material called

Kai : Plastic

[WeirdyIsHere]

So Kai is Clarkson, Lok is May and Alamby is.. Hammond? :D

[4rtic3]

tunnelvision...

[eliote17]

GAYPAL hahahaha

[addictedtodiesel1]

i love Lok!

[pooandawesome]

polycarbonate cha siu!!!!!

[ShuPortraits]

oh man! really, guys? please tell me you just picked the two most random lenses you could find to make the review entertaining. 5 minutes on "evilbay" will find your choice of canon fl lens for less than $30US and a fl to ef converter for less than $20 for a total of under $50US.

[ShuPortraits]

oh man, guys? i sincerely hope you just picked two really random lenses to make the review interesting. 5 minutes on "evilbay" you can get your choice of high quality canon fl lens for less than $20 us and a cheep converter for another 15-25; grand total of less than $50!

[berryuser9780]

What camera do you guys use to record your videos?

[xsjad0man]

i want that T-shirt tbh lol. 

[flyingfishlu]

Lok got ripped off xD even Kai's homemade pinhole works better than that

[goldeneye234960]

....what's a hoot?

[Neiliooooo]

I'm surprised i missed this video! Just wanted to add, I discovered the Sony NEX 7 is coming out soon. I hope to see a video on it from DigiRev. I saw a review comment on amazon that it is a "revolution." It didn't even come out yet, but people seem to be going Gaga over it.

[aus2045]

Kai - How do you put your strap on just one side, can you tell me?

[mjones410]

should have got a CCTV lens with a C-mount adapter for the Pen, they work really well, and cheap.

[xlynx9]

@mjones410 I second this. You can get the 25mm f/1.4 CCTV + adapter for $30 USD. It lets in way more light and takes beautiful shots.

[tomtafola]

hay guy's i love the way you make lances and cameras reviews so i want to ask you is there can i visit you guys n just go out to city in make a review on my pen tax 6x7 using slide film.

[visualdarkness]

I was at a photo convention here in Sweden and one store sold the Holga one as "the worlds worst lens", I don't think they exaggerated after trying it out.

[YukiLT]

It's much easier to get a M42 lens with an adapter...:)

[jayxunned]

i want lok's bag...anywhere can i get it

[dandylionphotography]

bought the holga lens for nikon, package said it was f/8, actually metered at closer to f/22

[redfolio8]

whinge much?!!

[MrJinchuuriki2]

ur single then get married , family and u die barred in the mountains 

[killa12222]

"Single, get married, have family, die in mountains" LOL!

[KAMEKorgSWK]

China got blamed for shityness ness in every video..lol...Kinda racist though

[VINTONGFX]

cantonese accent on the other guy

[CalebFilmsPresent]

fun..............ness

[MrPlaystationboy]

lok should get a cheapo c-mount lens on ebay ...you can get c-mount lenses that include a C to MFT adapter for around 20-40$

[MrAfif91]

Okay, what happen when you`re into brands?

This will

Nikon strap, holga lens, canon camera body

[victuey]

question: can nikons use lenses made by other brands too?

[exconigor]

@victuey you have to look if they have Nikon F mount.

[Reamoo412]

LOL SELF PLEASURING TOY... Not to be racist buttt stereotypically, asians have small... yea ahah 

[vangstaz]

@Reamoo412 Perhaps you should come to Asia and see the real truth for yourself, how about that???

[omgwtfbbqxD]

it's like top gear, but about photography!

[13vafanculo]

@omgwtfbbqxD 1 knob missing

[CrazyCake49]

: Durable martial.. ummm.. : Plastic : polycarbonate.. : Plastic : um. Cha siu somthing like that

note cha siu is pork in Chinese XD

[jambandz]

Lok has a pretty pimpin camera bag.

[Schmidtkord]

Lok's so good at focussing! He gets the Holga and is focussing much better at the beginning than Kai did in any shot. Anyway, really crappy lenses :D

[dodadooful]

lol canon camera and nikon strap...yup

[azhestiga]

nikon strap for 5D II

[YurVanGor]

alamby cannot hold a candle to Lok's focusing skillz!!!

[XWirtanen]

ROFL Arguably the best definition for the icons on the Holga lens' focusing barrel! :D :D (at around 4:00)

[lasting999]

@XWirtanen single, married, family tree!, died buried in mountain !!! HAHAHAH... lol!

[r4p1dmage]

I recently bought a CCTV lens, its a c mount but can be adapted to m43. i bought a 35mm 1.7 it aint the best but certainly not the worst lens you can get especially considering the price of only $30.

[ZDP189HK]

Kai and Lok, was that Holga lens as stock, or was it modified to enlarge the aperture? The images appear so. Take it apart and have a look, as stock, the iris behind the zone sieve should be only 2mm across and meters at about f/32.

[ZDP189HK]

So that's what P mode is for.

[andrehellm13]

WHAT IS IT WITH KAI AND ALL HIS PERVERTIVE WORDS? ITS GETTING PREETY ANNOYING. AND MAKES HIM LOOK IGNORANT.....

[rorrt]

You really have to be stupid to focus with a holga lens, i never focus...No point...

[Handford]

@rorrt at least as long as you don't get too close, anything under a couple of metres starts needs focusing, everything else is fine

[rorrt]

@Handford They say a meter, at the closest focus setting...

But this doesnt really matter.

[hoshinoediting]

Best come back for anything "no!"

[neopanich]

It's worth

[leftaway12]

Hey guys, can someone tell me how to attach the strap like Kai ? (I mean just attach one side.) Thanks a lot :)

[darren5781]

Self pleasuring toy!!!!!! Hahahahaha

[Sallybunckle]

Lok is hot..!!!!!

[Cub140]

At 11:35 did anyone realise they were going backwards?

[xlynx9]

@Cub140 that's crazy, I didn't notice at all.

[soul05extinct]

I like Lok's lens.. it looks like a TOP.. :D

[soul05extinct]

I like Kai's lens.. it looks like a TOP.. :D

[AnthonygoesApple]

anyone knows how to put the camera strap like Kai did?

[MrPlaystationboy]

@AnthonygoesApple just put both ends of the strap on the same strap thingy

[jerick23concept]

I'd rather buy $40 worth of dollar menu burgers.. Eat it & Shit out these lens LOL

[ManongPishbol]

lok said "tayoo" not bollocks.... 00:24

[Kopfale]

Anyone one else notice something odd at 11:35?

[Darkrasen1494]

@Kopfale lol

[FreerunPulse]

@Kopfale No, you're just high.

[MrPlaystationboy]

@Kopfale what ?

[Richpence]

I would have gotten a 28mm f2.8 pentax.

[Deweeyy]

i can hardly understand lok but i still laugh my ass off with everything he says :p

[frogsoda]

First. Neither of these guys have ever used a pinhole camera before?? Really?

Second. At least Lok knew what he was buying. A pinhole. Kai thought he was getting a "real" lens and wound up with a pinhole anyway. Serves him right.

Winner LOK.

[frankieboy180]

single, marry, family, die -- Lok is too funny!

[bent540]

Chairs are Danish

[swingAE86]

WHOSE HOLDING THE VIDEO CAMERA?

[dsade]

@swingAE86 probably alamby

[MrPlaystationboy]

i would get pentax 110 18mm and a 110 to micro 4/3 adapter from ebay

[suomo15]

m42 adapter and a nice m42 50mm = much more fun,

[himanshupanchal]

hahaha...you are the weirdest one!.... You shoot with Canon 5D MII with Nikon Strap...

[butterscotch1997]

Its got the single then marrige then family tree then you die

[tretreant]

I think alamby filmed this

[BrettValentine]

. . .noYOU!

[nte604]

If Lok is in front of the camera, who's behind it??

[nte604]

0:23 - Hahahaha

[DCassidy42]

Loc's english is getting much better. Good job man.

[Birkemark]

Kai.... It's a Danish chair from the danish designer Arne Jacobsen. The chair is called "the swan". And both of the chairs is a .......... china copy.

[hardspank]

Kai you should have bought an M42 adapter and a helios 44-2 58mm or a Pentax Takumar! Im sure it would have been under 50 bucks

[ogtsui]

polycarbonate cha siu ahahaha

[badradlad]

12:06 Jejemon Cap...

[JKroul]

The original chair is made in Denmark, not Italy...

[raedchen1]

well, you forgot the slr magic 35mm f1.7 for nex, also available as fujian 35mm f1,7 + c-mount to nex adapter, for a few bucks ;) ... and its GLAS and METAL, way better quality that those above ;) ..

[UncleRob199]

I have a question for DRTV and everyone! How does a small pinhole size aperture still allow the entire sensor to pick up light? I know it would work with wide angles, but what about setting your tele zoom lens to f32?

[giammyzanna]

It's funny when Kai tries to put the Holga lens on the canon by turning the lens like a Nikon mount lens.

[NitromeSupporter]

"free sex"???

[littlebitnina]

OMG his Chinese accent reminded me of the Chinese teacher i hated 0..0

[DanhNguyenster64]

Would a reverse ring be more fun for under $40?

[doceigen]

hehe... you guys always crack me up. Your glib attitudes makes the world seem a little less threatened. 

Anywise... I wish you'd invest some money towards a nice MTF (modulation transfer function) measurement system so we could see the comparative wavefronts of the various lenses you guys get to handle. Human interpretation is nice, but nothing like seeing some plots.

[ItzDaTwiGGajD]

you single man, get married, and then family tree, and then you die and bury in mountain. LOL

[MrLunxP]

If a mexican goes to England will they speak british 2 o.o

[Ch1ris23]

@MrLunxP it depends on how fast they will adapt to the english language and where they are in the Uk

[pentecostes20]

i was like ohh one chinese and then whattttttttttttttttt brittish

[grmeyer1]

asians with british accents...weird

[MrTimeControl]

Both of you are hilarious, but I'll stick with my 50mm 1.8 thanks!

[gloverfrxx]

4o1bm3v o7q5 k0lne8p s847w1

[Sraye]

Some durable material called.... plastic! Haha.

[danamezjohn]

[KennyBetterment]

[eatingYSSUP]

[eatingYSSUP]

a shitty factory from china is where you come from

[ZackSeraphicOFFICIAL]

More Lok!

[drsta84]

Damn this has to be the first time i have heard asians speak in that accent..

weird

[bgateb]

GayPal :rofl:

[g1code]

My brain seeks creepy stuff.. for example I keep thinking that Kai uses a "Canon" camera, with a "Nikon" strap, and a T-shirt with some "Leica" cam on it. And I think with myself, "This is what he must do, to keep getting test cameras from all companies without pissing them off !

[SirRobertDole2]

calling paypal "gaypal"

sitting in pink chairs against a glowing purple backdrop

lolwut

[MoxxieDreamer]

the two of them make a chopstick

[Bingsta33]

i really enjoyed this

[theillusiv3]

Love how they sensor 'bollocks' but Kai just casually says 'shitty' hahahhah

[thejerrymobile]

Unrelated to cheap lenses (well, depends on your definition) could you compare some 50mm equivalent micro 4/3 lenses, like the leica one that will launch with the GF3?

[jkfalse]

free sex! lmao

[kjsphotography]

err...You Single...then you Get married...then u got Family...then u die and burry in the mountain

[crudalex]

polycarbonate chai siu FTW

[Rationalific]

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

Lok roks!

You gotta bring him out in front of the camera more often.

[remake1990]

i'm waitin for ur review of the sony a77 and a65 :)

[EZbakeROFLcakes]

GayPal, what?!



[MrGbounds]

@EZbakeROFLcakes It's meant as a disrespectful term because people dislike paypal since they make you jump through too many hoops... :l

[EZbakeROFLcakes]

@MrGbounds Arhh, thought it may be, thanks a lot mate :)

[drfrank01]

ill take the canon 50 1.8 before any of those two lenses



[andre10445]

already saw all your movies... when is there more?

sometimes just would like having alzheimer's to have an excused for seeing the same videos all day long... :D

[andersdenkend]

Dude. Your shirt. Where to buy? >:o

[shaktikushwaha]

[raptorcZn]

@shaktikushwaha Hong Kong

[XClaireySpontaneousX]

LOl waat did Lok say that they beeped out???

[92mib92]

Thumbs up for Nikon strap on a Canon.

[nightwing20050089]

i'd rather use picnik.(com)

[Jheemusic]

Thumbs up if digital rev should do a review on the new sony dslt a65 and a77!!! like this to keep it on the top! really excited about the 2 new dslt cameras

[Ishcoa]

@Jheemusic

Of course, I'm sure that they'll review cameras that aren't even released yet...

Where are they supposed to get one of those cameras?

[Jheemusic]

@Ishcoa I think most major retails can get an early headstart on getting e camera based on a sponsor :) thats just an assumption

[hanumanchu215]

U CAN'T SEE ANYTHING IN THAT LEN

[1996Gordon5]

[musenseus]

[AustViewer]

Where in HK are those markets?

[M3mPHiS]

3'57 HAHAHAHAHA

[thienthanchet]

awesome combination Kai, Canon body, Holga lens, Nikon strap LMAO

[tsaikamho520]

totally out of focusing.............!!

[Whatisright]

I know exactly how Lok feels when handing over your camera to someone. Even if they know what they're doing you still feel the need to remind them not to drop your camera.

[nattienut]

09:01 "nobody's coming this way? free sex!" LMAO

[lillianz]

Kai's got a canon cam with nikon strap. how perverse ! :P

[hueva79]

my fav 11:10..fun video :P

[xnychen]

What is that? You're single men, get married and then uhhhh family and then you die and buried in the mountains.

[AmaneX]

Bahaha... again with the Polycarbonate Char-siew!
