In this video, I pair the classic 1971 Canon FL 50mm f/1.8 vintage lens with the Sony FX30 to see how well this old-school glass performs for modern video work. This test explores the lens’s sharpness, character, flaring, bokeh, and overall image quality in real-world shooting conditions. If you're curious how vintage manual focus lenses hold up against today's digital cinema cameras, or you're building out a budget-friendly rig with unique character, this video is for you. 📷 Lens: Canon FL 50mm f/1.8 (1971) 🎥 Camera: Sony FX30 Cinema Line 🛠️ Mount: Manual focus via adapter 🎞️ Color graded & edited in DaVinci Resolve 2 Let me know in the comments what you think about this combo and if you'd use vintage glass in your own setup.
