Canon FD & K35 – Legendary cine lenses on a budget – Epic Episode #14

The ultimate guide to Canon FD – with history and versions, similarities in image and design, coatings, aspherical elements and radioactivity, and how to develop a set on a budget.
We also explore the Canon K35… so:
Are there Canon FD lenses that give us the look of the Canon K35 in a somewhat affordable way?

We talk to an award winning filmmaker that uses Canon FD and test the most important lenses. We DIY declick and change the mount, and test sophisticated modding by Simmod. We heal Thorium tint, discuss the value & where to buy, and explain how to spot counterfeit lenses.
We will show you how we did the Aliens effect shots… using Filmconvert Nitrate.

Don't miss the sequel to this episode: we turn our FD set into real cine lenses!
