Alright, now is the time to buy.

Apparently hollywood is using soviet photo glass for movies now. Companies are rehousing them into film lenses.

Dune 2 was shot entirely on old Soviet glass.

I know the Helios m42 is legend. what else should I look at.

I am on L mount.

If you have Hollywood money why would you not just buy an actual Jena Biotar at that point?

Why not just melt some glass over a cereal bowl and call it soviet glass? Profit!

Nobody does professional-level rehousing of them. And also there are no so much copies of biotars on market (just a magic part of soviet economy when goods produced not because people need them, but to make peepo do something continuously)

yeah, there are millions of helios floating around. the re-housing company is in Ukraine, and I imagine building a company without a steady flow of available glass is pretty fucking hard.

people are getting some amazing results with them. I picked up a pretty fresh looking 44m-4 off of ebay for $60 wtih free shipping from bulgaria. excited.

I would recommend picking up a lens now while you can. there is a lot of chatter about these lenses.

>Dune
They shot these movies with old obsolete lenses because if the world saw that goblin Zendaya in real HD they would never recover from it, and they'd go bankrupt.

Dune looked bad for a reason people.

Correct, now is the time to buy at inflated prices due to all the youtubers hyping them up. The real time to buy was years ago.

By the time something is memed, and by the time you jump on the bandwagon, the bleeding edge folks will have already moved on to the next gimmick.

In summary, there's lots of lenses out there, experiment. Don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters.

Because “soft” lenses still have a lot of detail, it’s just not as crispy.

This statement makes absolutely no sense. If you're going to display stuff in an IMAX theater you need resolution and detail.

It has detail. The individual hairs are there. Just not as contrasty. Too sharp of a lens and it looks like a 3d render or AI enhanced. Why do you think mirrorless portraits shot with flawless lenses like the nikon noct and plena look uncanny before retouching? Human vision isnt nearly that sharp. If nikon had a 100mp camera you could crop super sharp 5mp images out of it, the sharpest 5mp has ever been, with the plena attached. It’s actually too much.
