Last week I purchased my new favorite retro lens. It’s a Russian Helios 44M (circa 1975) and the imagery is amazing and quite different from what you see with today’s digital lenses. The colors are rich, the lens flare is amazing and the bokeh (the out of focus area) is nothing less than magical. We’re encoding our first wedding shot with this lens so in the meantime, enjoy this little test video to see why we get so excited about using vintage lenses for our productions……

What I love about using vintage lenses in our productions (especially weddings) is they have a warmer, more organic look to them that’s a great mix of the best of the new (HD video) with the best of the old (the retro look the lenses give our productions). We think you’ll love the difference.
