A new life for manual optics began with the advent of digital cameras, especially mirrorless ones (which have focus-picking and the ability to use non-retrofocus manual optics). New life 2.0 for manual optics began after the possibility of turning it into autofocus with an adapter Techart PRO Leica M - Sony E Autofocus Adapter (LM-EA7)... New Life 3.0 takes manual optics to the next level - rehousing (repackaging) old manual optics into a modern case, designed for convenient use during filmmaking, will be able to extend its lifespan for an unlimited period.

Nice price tag for repackaging, but it can be useful to someone
Well, if they do, it means that they are counting on something)))
Although asking (and probably even receiving) for the "repackaged" Jupiter 85/2 $ 1100, when around the corner there is a bulk of new samyangs 85 / T1.5 AS, TWO times cheaper is ... uh ... how to put it mildly ... in general, you need to have a special entrepreneurial spirit :-D
Or you need to have buyers for your service. And, obviously, there are buyers.
And there are many of them, buyers? Although, what am I talking about ...
What the imperialists can not think of, so that once again not to rip off those who are keen on photography!
The imperialists invent what the communists are not capable of. The communists and autofocus were not needed - it’s not tight. And 1/4000 shutter speed is not needed. And zooms are not needed. In general, photography must be used only for military purposes, so that the working class and thoughts would not have to spend their pennies on technology alien to it.
What is this nonsense? Almost every family had a camera and a development kit. There are still photos from all the events in the kindergarten and school. There was no autofocus? Well, before, almost all computers of any state combined were less powerful than any modern smartphone. Technology does not stand still. The state has not existed for 30 years, but some of them are still “bombed” from it)
Better tell us how many salaries a modern worker needs to buy a top lens and carcass, and how many salaries would have been required before.
How many of the photo-video technologies were invented, developed, implemented and perfected by the damned imperialists, and how many are Komi-social? This was discussed in the answer. And the goal of these developments is to improve the quality, usability, and not to “rip off those who are keen on photography”.
And if you carefully read what the company is doing, then it clearly says "repackaging old manual optics into a modern case, designed for convenient use during filmmaking."
What does this have to do with passionate photographers? What does this have to do with your kindergarten and school? What does this have to do with ancient computers and modern smartphones?
Learn to READ CAREFULLY, citizens writers.
It's just that no one thought of releasing biotars of the 40s in millions of copies with modifications, the competition demanded the release of new models. And the party did not demand, therefore Helios-44 and the Olympian Jupiter. And do not play around, you still have to sort out rotten potatoes on the farm.
The goal of any business is to make money. I’ll even tell you more, my elderly friend, the goal of Soviet state enterprises was also to make money, and not to give joy to idiots.
Just don't need myths about “eternal Soviet quality”, yeah.
I already gave an example with 100-300 / 5.6L. “At the start, this lens could be bought in Japan for 93 yen. In 800, 86 yen cost 1000 rubles 3 kopecks. It turns out that at the then exchange rate this lens could be purchased for 81 rubles. More precisely, it was IMPOSSIBLE to acquire, because you have Helios on. "
A new level of scoop weaving. A country that exported from Germany a bunch of technologies related to optics and had a huge production capacity at its disposal “could not” provide its citizens with photographic equipment?
Some statistics on two cameras: Average salary for 1985 ~ 200 rubles
Change 8M
Produced: 21 041 191 pcs. (including "Smena-8"). Original price (in 1986), 15 rubles.
Zenith E
Quantity: 8 million pcs. (of which at KMZ - 3.334.540 pcs.) - a world record for one objective SLR cameras. 80 - 100 rubles, depending on the lens included.
If you want to talk about the quality of these products, then this is another question, but I can say the following - I shoot commercials on Helios 44m4 of the first years of production, the lens is older than me and I am completely satisfied with its quality.
The “top-end” cameras were mentioned. What do we have there “top” in 198xx? Let's say “Kiev-17 ″ ... 270 re. One and a half to two wages. Ok, the photo tank, magnifier, framing frame, cuvettes, chemical cans and other personal belongings are out of brackets.
Kiev-6S / 60: 690 re ... 3-4 salary.
Kiev-88: 919 re. Five wages.
Now it's stupid to talk about “average” income, but if you take the average ceiling PPP, for 6-7K dollars you can afford a very good camera.
Meanwhile, Decaying Vostok is releasing autofocus 50 / 1.0L instead of tanks.
How many hundreds of salaries do you need now to take this mid-range camera of yours? No need to carry nonsense! Lohotrnon by the firms that produce cameras for selling new models has now reached an unprecedented level. But in the figure, since 2009, nothing has changed in quality. What was the best in film Nikons? Service life - I agree, and nothing more! Our Soviet lenses were better!
Are you still shooting only with the Change? Have you even got a little foil before the collapse of the USSR?
It is now in bulk, and it will not be delayed if you spend a couple of minutes on Google.
"What was the best in the film Nikons?"
Was there anything bad about the F3, F4, F5 or film Units?
Everything that concerned the mass consumer - everything was sad. Everything except the quality of products, free medicine (this is now very painfully important) and education.
With education - you can still agree, but food and free medicine - don't be funny, there were no normal products in the USSR (with very rare exceptions), sometimes there were none, but about medicine - you probably did not sit in the chair of a Soviet dentist - I I will not sit, even if they pay me for it, a lot. And the shoes were sovets - these were the pads for torture, but what about the clothes? I understand that many in the USSR had youth and memories associated with it, and now they are old, but you have to look at things objectively. Who likes the USSR - now there is North Korea, you can go and remember how it is.
I just hope you are not serious ...
Firstly, a little-favored namesake, I didn't drink stolen alcohol at the factory with you, so poke your homies near ATB, but not me.
Secondly, the “average” salary today is nonsense. Because not everyone has an average ration, as in your coveted scoop, some have earnings. I hope even you understand this.
Regarding “how many hundreds of salaries” - don't worry about my financial condition. Let's just say PhaseOne is prohibitive for me, and Fujifilm GFX is quite real.
In short, you did not find one scoop, so there is no need for editorials from Pravda.
Who is interested in what Vasily photographs, if we are talking about a company that produces lenses for filming?
How many people did Nazi Germany take out of the USSR? And how many other valuables did they take from the USSR, as well as from other countries? Is this comparable to some kind of glass? These glasses and everything else were taken out even 10% of it was not worth it! By the way, after the wars, nobody canceled the trophies! Likewise - in all cases when you write about Japan, indicate in parentheses the number of proven genocides that they committed only during the Second World War. And so on, and so on.
I have always been interested in the question why Japan and Germany are Japan and Germany again in 20 years, but in 50 years we know where and cannot get out of there. This is from Pelevin, if he also has an answer. But every time I see another announcement of a Chinese brand, I understand that KMZ is sad somewhere in the corner, and nothing left of the Kiev arsenal along the way
I don't understand where you can't get out there? How many years did the USSR restore the industry completely destroyed by the fascists after the war? How many factories and factories did we have? What now? Everything is destroyed, as after the war. Stores have been set up where Chinese crap is sold and chicken coops, whose products are strictly prohibited. All! We are, one might say, a banana republic without industry, without agriculture and without a future! But there are Nikon cameras. Well chew this crap! This is not at all the main thing for the life of normal people in a normal state!
Well, 50 years later, where are you? Where the USSR died 30 years ago. Cameras and lenses are not the main thing, I agree, you can do without them, but this crap gives jobs with this crap taxes are paid, and pensions are paid from these taxes, and the more such crap, the richer the state.
Why is GAZ-A a Ford-A? Why is the T-34 suspension a system of the American engineer Christie? Why is the M-25 aircraft engine a Wright Cyclone? Why is the GAZ-11 engine a Dodge-25? Why is FED a “Leica”? Why was the KhTZ designed by a US citizen who was later awarded the Order of Lenin? And why is the "Vyatka" scooter an all-in-one Vespa? Why did China, which suffered from the Japanese and the Communists, flood the whole world with its products?
Well, you are a storyteller!
Well, of course! It was not in vain that the Japanese fought for the Soviet “Rubies” and “Horizons”, and all sorts of “Funai” were forced on us: D
“If a person is an idiot, then this is for a long time” (c)
this is a normal practice - take and increase Ali and improve ... sometimes worsen)))
Yes that's right. my salary was above average. I bought Zenit-E (there was no other for sale in the city) for 100 in 1980. Gradually I bought everything. Plus movie cameras - AURORA 8C and LADA. He told his relatives on his DR that they shouldn't waste it, but give them 10-20 rubles. So I bought a line of lenses, the newest exp. "Sverdlovsk", plus all the requisites for photos and film slides.
About Zenith - after 10 years it was necessary to change the curtain. The mechanic whistled in surprise - the bolt was held on two screws instead of three and did not dangle.
And how he stood, God, how he stood!
Carl Zeiss, Voigtlander, Leica and many other companies to this day produce most lenses without autofocus. Most AF lenses still have a manual mode, I wonder why?
Andrei
Your long posts can be replaced with one phrase: "blah blah blah." Sorry, of course.
Well ... the price of food?
The main park of Mir-20M and Mir-10A is located in Russia.
Many of their owners will be afraid to send them through the Ukrainian Post (the risk of losing the lens or money is a consequence of propaganda).
Sending through a private company like CDEK or DHL looks more reliable.
Їх хтос змушує sell?
Is there a dek in Ukraine?
Nominally - there is, but in fact - unlikely.
There is a Mir-20 automatic lens unit, a front cover, etc.
Repackaged Mir-1B for kilobax ?!
Excuse muah, gentlemen, but no new frame for this lens unit can cost that much. Rather, maybe, but only outside the world in which people ask the question of expediency ...
Well, either a full set for 2.5K. Star Trek Abrams shot digital, but used a bunch of old lenses for the picture. I also caught glare on them, and where I could not catch it, I added it in post-production. This is a different world and its own criteria, the director will kick up to shoot on film - it will be on film, bw means bw, old glass means old glass. 2.5K means 2.5K, not even the price of one camera.
In the cost of film production, the cost of lenses is a penny.
By the way, here is a film on film, b / w https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B0%D1%8F%D0%BA_(%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BC,_2019)#%D0%A1%D1%8A%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%BA%D0%B8

Igor how to get in touch with you?
I don’t know who, but my dudes should be.
To see if you can soon be surprised by the film, I'll take a look at the old Gelios, or Jupiter. I would look)
It stinks to shy away, when you bathe a product, that means who needs a price. The stench is to bring cinnamon.
Is it better to resell comrade from Aliexpress?
They have demos from clients on their YouTube channel. For some reason, Koreans are especially fond of. Perhaps we should tell them about the cheaper Samyang.
Oleg Sentsov will certainly be able to shoot his next masterpiece film with old optics! Contact him urgently about this - he will not refuse!))
I'm going to get some popcorn.
Norm is so Helios guys sell 1000 bucks
The socialist German Flektogon 35 2,4 got into their soviet lenses. But sold out.
this is called “when the guys got stuck to sharpen planetary gears and primary shafts into eights”
Comrades discussing the past and their political views. Stop, otherwise I'll add everyone to the black list. You can discuss it at the Lance Club, it's a common thing there. But not here.
Whahahah, at the Lens Club now you can discuss anything at all, for example, portraits of Hitler.
this is just a reference to this):
Five years ago, when I started taking pictures, according to an ad, I found a master who, for $ 70, took a helicopter tucked into a Nikon 18-55 whale body, with autofocus), my favorite lens was, only, of course, it would be better to have a carcass with autofocus adjustment, but that's it worked just fine. The same person also reworked the case for a full frame and, as he wrote, tried to make other lens blocks, as he wrote, not to earn money, but for the sake of engineering interest more))
Yes, cool. I also had a couple of "autofocus" Helics: MC HELIOS-44M-4 58mm 1: 2 и HELIOS-44-2 2/58
And why are profile video lenses so bad that it has become profitable to collective farms of the settled photographic stocks of developed socialism?
About the same thing as a normal, sharp fix is bad when a monocle is preferred to it.
Esthetes-ss, Sir!
Who is selling your own products?
I worked for these guys in Melitopol, three years ago. The guys check the enlightenment and quality of the lenses by eye! Cleaning takes place not with pencils, not with chemicals, but with banal microfiber and alcohol. Enlightenment is drawn with markers of different colors. Enlightenment Carl! Paying for an assembled lens is a separate story that does not concern lenses. As it were, a month ago in Zaporozhye I handed over Arsat 50 mm. on the radio market for cleaning. A man under a microscope looked at the lenses for the presence of detachment and cracks of enlightenment. We draw conclusions whether it is worth paying money to these iron-glass. I can gladly write more information if needed.
Some fat, to be honest.
