Canon 50mm f0.95 TV lens 夢幻之眼

I have heard about the Canon lens and I have been searching for a Canon TV lens back in 2018 and have not been able to get one. Recently, I have decided to pick up my hobby of photography again and I have started my search again. I have finally found one Canon 50mm lens at very reasonable price of HK$16888 at a vintage camera shop near Jordan.

I have made appointment to buy it coming Monday. Unfortunately, in the Saturday afternoon, I received a WhatsApp message from the shop saying that the lens have been sold. As a result, I will need to restart my search again. 

I was a bit disappointed but I have decided to look for one TV lens instead. There is another camera dealer who has two lovely Canon lens, one TV and one normal selling at US$5000 (HK$38820) and US$4300 (Hk$33,391) respectively, which are beyond my budgets.

Then, I remembered my friend Micheal has been playing with various camera lens and I have decided to WhatsApp him to see if he has any lens to let go. Interesting, my first Cine lens was also from him.

I am fortunate as he has one TV lens to let go…Thanks Micheal! 

This is a very interesting lens and many photographers have mentioned that the only real comparison for this lens at the same speed is Leica’s own f0.95 Noctilux, which costs at least HK$55,000 or more. In my opinion, Angenieux M F0.95 is also another nice one for comparison but it costs more then HK$120,000. For the moment, this Canon 50mm f0.95 lens is good enough for me..

Leica M3 vs M4

  Tuesday, 17 April 2018 Leica M3 versus M4 M4 total production topped out at about 58,000 examples compared with the 225,000 run of the earlier M3. Of the total production of M4s just 6,775 were finished in black chrome and  4,889 in black paint. The M4 is considered by many collectors to be the finest of the unmetered    M’s. However, , to compare  Leica M3 versus M4, my two favourite gears both with the collapsible lens in perfect harmony, is not an easy task. Having tried both the Leica M3, M4, one visible different I see is in the loading of film. Loading film into the M4 is easier and faster. T he M4 combined the best of its predecessors’ virtues, including superb build quality, and added a feature or two.  With its engraved top-plate and M3-like craftsmanship, the M4 upped the rangefinder game. Another different is t he angled rewind lever, instead of the knob on earlier models, dramatically speeded up the rewind process.  In addition, the M4 ha...

Leica M3 Olive Bundeseigentum and Leica M3 Black Paint (徠卡M3橄欖色Bundeseigentum和徠卡M3黑色漆)

  Leica M3 Olive Bundeseigentum and Leica M3 Black Paint (徠卡M3橄欖色Bundeseigentum和徠卡M3黑色漆) After much research research, I have finally bite the bullet and acquired the rare Olive military M3. In order to maintain a small and tighter collection, I have traded away the Leica I and Leica II Black paint cameras, Leica M3 chrome and the Rolleiflex for these vintage Leica.  After trading away my M3 chrome and for the M3 black paint, I was faced with the dilemma of what to do with the steel chrome Leica 50mm Summicron collapsible radioactive len, which I actually love. With the Olive M3, I can now pair it with the Summicron collapsible. These are my small collection of vintage Leica M3 camera consisting of the M3 Olive and M3 Black paint and awaiting the M4 Black paint. Even though these are in used conditions, I love the used brass marks left by the previous owners. Moreover, I am afraid of the repainted cameras and these natural fading of enamel lacquered black paint actually helped...
