FA35mm video review

Sat, Apr 10, 2021 7:22 PM

I just published my under 4 minute review of the FA35.

This was my main prime lens for years, and when shooting video of it I
realized how bad it looks. That's plastic from the 90s for you!  One reason
to love the new metal AF Fuji lenses for example, I imagine they will look
a lot better than this in twenty years.

Anyway it's a great lens even if its skin hasn't aged well.

Juan, a nice video review!
The FA 35/2 has always been one of my most favoured lenses. I bought it
based on Yoshihiko's lens resolution tests:

I do like the hood which is very convenient.
The only cosmetic weakness is the door on the hood for pola filter turning.
This is always falling off. I put some black tape on it.

You could get brilliance using a Coke bottle mate. I am humbled!

Seriously, I watch your videos for the snaps mate ;-)

Cotty--my new challenge now will be to build a lens with a Coke bottle and
test that theory :D

Speaking of which...

Just heard in the news that your beer gardens may open again. With the
weather being as it is, aren't you afraid that your beer will get cold? ;-)

On the subject of photographic fringe benefits, I used to use M&Ms Minis containers to hold exposed rolls of 120.  I still have them (used one a couple of weeks ago for an old film).

Ahar - yesterday. In fact I did some filming in one for BBC. Yes, it's a bit weird after 97 days apparently.

I drink cold beer all the time pal!

I used an Altoids tin to keep my original little Optio.

BTW,  what ever happened to Altoids?  They seem to have
curiously disappeared.
