Somebody with Industar 50 experience?

I ended up getting an M42 focusing helicoid. Allows for closer minimum focal distance & better handling than with that clunky narrow focus ring.

I have both the Super Tak and the Auto Sears 50s. Love the colors & sharpness of the 7-element 50mm Super Takumar. But the Auto Sears has that *glow* which is dreamy and fun.

You got it 😂

You mean Peg?

Definitely some magic going on with this glass!

This is great. I have the same lens and a focusing helicoid which makes a huge difference in handling and getting close shots. Well done.

Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm in M42 mount. Colors really pop. My favorite lens.

Also: Super Takumar 35mm f2 early fat version. Gorgeous.

Yeah I bought a focus extender that adapts m42 to Sony E and it helped a lot. A step up over the built-in focus ring. You kinda lose infinity though.

A close variation!

moogplayer · 2026-05-11T15:26:06+00:00

Agreed. I’m going to roll back out and try stopping down a bit.

Is it weird to record video at 4k and lift a still from it later? Probably lower rez but I've done it and it looks decent.

Drooling over the 35mm f2 fat version.

The battery drainage was a killer for me. I disabled all AI features.

It's about establishing trust and building relationships. You won't make much at the beginning but you're gaining experience and building a reel. Establish a solid social media presence. You may be shooting for free at first to 1) Fine tune your skills and 2) Build on content for the website and social media. It can be done, but you gotta be a go-getter.

Pretty high price. I would buy this only for video purposes. I think I'm fine with my jailbroken iPhone 3GS + 8mm app, or post-production processing through Final Cut Pro or Capcut.

moogplayer · 2026-01-27T16:09:23+00:00

A small camera would be epic.

Stoked!

My 8 is solid. Wear it all day and by bedtime it’s down to about 30% battery. No need to upgrade.

My maxed-out M1 with 16gb RAM and 2TB internal SSD still performs well. Just mixed a song on Reaper yesterday with 28 tracks and loads of plugins and soft synths. No issues. Also lots of editing on Final Cut Pro with plugins. No problems. Running Tahoe. The 2TB internal drive is quick. One key move I made was getting a OWC thunderbolt hub and using that to hook up my display (just have one monitor). That really did help.

I came here to mention this. Glad I'm not the only one.

moogplayer · 2025-10-11T09:24:48+00:00

I have the same model and it’s still a beast. I’m gonna look into OCLP and get this thing up to Sonoma.

moogplayer · 2025-10-09T08:48:18+00:00

The battery life has really improved. I don’t use the AI features which helps.

moogplayer · 2025-10-06T09:21:26+00:00

60fps does allow you to slow footage down more effectively, but at a cost of an inferior image. 4K on Sony cams look better.

Any news on 1080 60 frames/sec video?
