Please, please, please
do not ask my wife
about our mailbox.
My neighbors actually ran over our mailbox a few months ago
and I put it in a bucket with some rocks.
And for four months, that's where the mailbox stood.
It took me about a couple weeks to find the rocks.
It took me another month to go to the hardware store and buy a new mailbox.
I tried to put it up once but it was leaning like a crooked tower in Italy.
And so I gave up,
put the mailbox back into the bucket,
and that's where it sat.
Can you take a guess what my talents and gifts are not?
I'm terrible at fixing things.
You can pray for my wife and pray for our marriage.
It can cause some tension.
But can I tell you what one of my gifts is?
Memorizing the Bible.
I don't know why but ever since I was little,
I could remember things like few people could.
In fact, this past summer, in just one month,
I think I memorized over 100 Bible passages--
the most I ever did.
And now let me hit pause
and ask you,
"What are you feeling in your heart right now?"
When I talk about something I'm pretty pathetic at,
and something I'm pretty powerful at,
how do you feel?
Was there a twinge of pride when you heard
about things that seem pathetic to you,
that you could do easily?
Was there a bit of jealousy or defensiveness
when you learned of something that I can do that perhaps you can't?
The apostle Paul wants to give us contentment.
He doesn't want us to ping pong back and forth
between feeling proud and then feeling envious
and then feeling proud and then feeling envious.
There are too many differences in this world to live like that.
One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is peace and contentment
and it comes from knowing what the apostle Paul said in 1st Corinthians chapter 12.
That's where he talks about the body of Christ,
the various members of the church being like the parts of a body.
They're different.
And he concludes with this.
Different parts and yet we all care about each other, despite the differences.
You know, at my church I told the story of my broken mailbox
and within 24 hours a man with an incredible gift had it fixed.
My wife was very thankful.
And I prayed the next time I get to preach to that man,
I can use those passages God has put in my mind to bless him,
just like he blessed me.
So don't be afraid of the differences.
Celebrate them
from the Holy Spirit who gave each one.

Pollution from China linked to 30,900 premature deaths in S. Korea, Japan - Duration: 0:53.
Transported emissions from China have been linked to almost 31-thousand early deaths
in East Asia, according to a recent study.
An international research team found that,... of three-point-five million premature deaths
in 2007 related to pollution, about twelve percent were linked to pollutants emitted
from other regions.
Emissions in China were related to 30,900 deaths in East Asia region, which includes
South Korea and Japan.
The researchers say China is the world's largest exporter of emissions, …and the emissions
have a much larger effect on South Korea and Japan as they are nearby and densely populated.
Exposure to fine particles with a diameter less than two-point-five micrometers can cause
heart disease, stroke and lung cancer.

Ex-President Park attends arrest warrant hearing - Duration: 2:58.
It's D-day for the ex-president and the nation.
The impeached former President Park Geun-hye is now at the Seoul Central District Court
for a hearing that will decide whether she will be arrested or not.
It's a huge disgrace for Park, as this marks the first time in Korea's history that a
former president is attending such a hearing.
Our Hwang Ho-jun, who is at the court now, joins us to tell us more.
Ho-jun Give us the details.
Daeun, it's been about three and a half hours since
Park Geun-hye arrived for the warrant hearing, but the place is still packed with reporters.
Park arrived here at 10:20 a.m., just eleven minutes after she left her private residence
in southern Seoul.
She walked in through entrance number four, an entry that all other suspects use.
Physically,... she appeared composed, yet stern, in a slight contrast to how she looked
when she first left her home,...flashing a faint smile to her supporters.
The court is now back in session after a lunch break.
The hearing is being held behind closed doors... but Park and her lawyers are expected to deny
all 13 charges against her.
Park is charged with colluding with her close confidante Choi Soon-sil to extort tens of
millions of dollars from conglomerates,... leaking confidential presidential office documents
to Choi... and ordering the creation of a blacklist of cultural figures critical of
the government.
Many of Park's alleged accomplices, including Choi, have already either been arrested or
jailed for their suspected involvement in the scandal.
In the courtroom,... Park will be seated directly opposite the judge.
Her lawyers will be to her right, as you can see on the graphic we have for you,... and
prosecutors will be seated to her left.
Park will get very little assistance from her lawyers during the hearing... and she'll
be required to answer the judge's questions herself.
Hojun, when can we expect the hearing to end, and when will we know whether or not Park
will be arrested?
Well, considering the second arrest warrant hearing for Samsung Electronics vice chairman
Lee Jae-yong took over seven hours, it is likely this hearing will go at least that
long, or maybe longer, with the judge hearing arguments from both sides, after which he'll
review the case.
Now, the big question is where Park will be held while the judge is in deliberation.
While nothing has been confirmed yet, observers are speculating she could be placed in a holding
cell within the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office because of its proximity to the court
and to minimize security concerns.
The court's ruling is expected to come out later tonight, or early tomorrow morning.
If the court grants the warrant, prosecutors will have up to 20 days to continue their
investigation and file formal charges against her.... and Park will become the country's
third former president to be arrested on criminal charges.
If she's convicted of receiving bribes,... she could be facing a minimum of ten years
behind bars.
Back to you, Mark.

Your Money and Your Man [BOOK REVIEW] - Duration: 6:33.
Hello and thank you for tuning into Noire Histoir.
I'm Natasha and today I'll be discussing the book Your Money and Your Man.
I'd been looking for books that offer advanced financial advice on what adults in their 20's-30's should be doing to ensure a secure future.
But, personal finance info targets older folks and focuses on the basics, credit repair, or retirement.
I found a copy of Your Money and Your Man on a personal finance shelf at the library and decided to check it out.
Your Money and Your Man by Michelle Singletary, offers women some financial advice for life
in general but focuses on dating/courtship, marriage, and raising kids.
Generally speaking, men and women should both pay for dates, either splitting the bill or
taking turns paying.
Men shouldn't have to do all the romancing nor should they have to profess their love
through the amount they're willing to spend on pricey gifts.
I don't believe in unmarried couples living together unless they're engaged with a set
wedding date because it's a bad idea to mix finances with someone to whom you aren't married.
I'll admit that I'm frugal and lacking in the romance department.
As a result, I agreed with most of Singletary's views on dating and weddings.
For the most part, expensive engagement rings and weddings are a waste of money for the average couple.
Engagement parties, weddings, and baby showers
have become a tacky ploy to get people to buy the couple stuff.
I did side-eye the idea of two people with different spending patterns entertaining the
idea of marriage.
Love doesn't conquer all and two people with different views on finances thinking
that they'll balance each other out is a gamble.
Finances can be a major issue during a marriage and are one of the most common reasons for divorce.
Couples should resolve differences in financial beliefs during the engagement
and go their own ways if they can't reach a resolution.
Singletary didn't advocate for people getting married under these circumstances.
Yet, she seemed unwilling to state outright that such a couple doesn't have any business being together.
I disagreed with Singletary on the points of prenuptial agreements, joint bank accounts,
and one of her examples of compromise.
Singletary agrees with the opinion that prenuptial agreements are a sign that a couple doesn't
love or trust each other enough.
This was one of the few points for which Singletary presented no facts to support her views.
But based on that logic, why advocate for couples exchanging credit reports before marriage?
Or having detailed conversations about their current views and planned expectations for finances?
Why is it ok to have conversations about life events that might arise in a relationship
but not what would occur should the relationship end?
I don't understand encouraging women to achieve financial independence before marriage.
But then advising against protecting the assets accumulated from that work and sacrifice.
By all means, couples should fairly divide assets accumulated during the marriage.
But, assets accumulated or based on efforts before marriage should remain with the person
that accumulated them.
I came to Your Money and Your Man with that belief and the info presented by Singletary
did nothing to change my mind.
I view a fair prenuptial agreement as nothing more than an agreement on the division of
assets in the event of divorce.
If you view it from that perspective, it's no different than drawing up a will or purchasing insurance.
We all hope that we're not going to die early, become disabled, or suffer a serious
injury/illness.
But, it's responsible to make preparations in the event one of those things should occur.
A prenuptial agreement shouldn't be any more controversial than planning other life
events we hope won't happen.
It isn't much different from the open communication plan that Singletary promotes elsewhere in
Your Money and Your Man.
The person you fall in love and are in a relationship with can be different from the person you
divorce.
It might be better to discuss the division of assets while cool-headed and in love rather
than amidst the emotions of a divorce.
Singletary states that only 1% of married or engaged couples have a prenuptial agreement.
Yet about 50% of marriages end in divorce.
Given the discrepancy in percentages, prenuptial agreements are not a "plan to fail".
If anything, prenuptial agreements would be a good idea for more couples.
I understand Singletary's perspective on joint finances and that money should be "ours"
rather than "yours" and "mine".
But, there's nothing wrong with a couple having joint or separate accounts.
Couples should choose what works best for them.
The "Financial House Rules" are a great idea for avoiding financial disagreements.
Having a couple put in place an actual plan for how they'll communicate should help
to ensure openness and honesty.
I agreed with Singletary's statement that relationships need compromise but took issue
with the example she provided.
She shared the story of a woman who contacted her for advice.
The woman and her fiance both owned their own homes and each had their own reasons for
not wanting to move into the other's home.
The common sense solution would be for them to sell their homes and use the proceeds to
buy a new home together that would fit both of their needs.
Yet it seemed that Singletary advised the woman to compromise and sell with no mention
of the fiancé compromising.
She focused on the woman being unwilling to compromise rather than them both being stubborn.
Her rationale seemed to be that the woman should give in and sell her house because
it's easier than trying to find another man to love/marry her.
It's terrible advice on various levels and a poor example because it's not a compromise.
Your Money and Your Man is a bit basic but I was still able to learn some new things.
Women are the book's intended audience but the advice is also applicable to men.
Singletary's personal beliefs influence some of the advice so Your Money and Your
Man leans Christian conservative.
This might be off-putting for some but I thought it was easy to ignore.
I found exactly what I was looking for in the "Major Money Milestones" chapter which
provided guidelines on financial goals you should strive to achieve broken down by age.
It wasn't as detailed as I would have liked it to be but it was still valuable.
I had almost no prior understanding of the different types of life insurance so the "Getting
Down To The Basics" chapter was also very informative for me.
The advice offered in Your Money and Your Man won't apply to everyone but it's helpful
to know what the different options are and how to select what's right for you.
The breakdowns in each chapter explain how to take action on the advice offered and are
very useful.
The Financial Communication Checklist is also a great resource for couples.

When They Don't Buy Your Stuff - Duration: 11:05.
Today's question is:
I'm selling my...
program or product
and when it doesn't get accepted
I feel rejected personally.
It's a very very good question,
and we've all been there.
Trust me, when I started
coming out of my shell
in to the online world,
because I've been running my business
for almost nine years...
And...
it's been really comfy
in the last few years
beacause...
in the beginning,
I did a lot of networking
and...
all those things
that you need to do
in the beginning of the business,
getting myself out there,
which was very uncomfortable
at the time.
And learning all the ropes...
and I did it on the offline way.
So, back then
that was going to network meetings,
catching up for lunches...
And...
I'm a very introverted person,
I love sitting at home.
So, that was really putting me out
of my comfort zone.
But anyway, I did that.
And I've ran lots of workshops,
and...
did a lot of things.
And that created a huge momentum
in my business,
and so for the next...
few years after that
I was just able to...
really enjoy
the word of mouth
and the momentum that I've created.
And then I...
received the guidance
to start coming out of my shell again
and come out in a new way,
come out online
and share...
the wisdom and...
whatever else is flowing through me
out online.
And, again, this is like:
'I've never done this before!
This is so new! I have to know all these things!'
So, when I just started doing it,
recording my first videos,
which was a year ago...
And then I put them out,
I think I started in May,
putting them out to my subscribers
and out to YouTube...
and my Facebook,
and Instagram
and things like that.
And trust me,
you know what it felt like?
Honestly, it felt like...
and I was saying this
to my friend, as well,
I was like:
I feel like a slug
that was taken out of its shell,
and it's just so exposed,
I felt so vulnerable
And the reason I'm sharing this with you
is because...
we go through these phases
in our business
as we are growing
and evolving in the business.
So, yes, you may have asked this question
becasue you are
in the beginning of your business.
Like, maybe
you are just starting out
and you feel like
every time you put your offer out,
every time you put your...
program or product out
and if it doesn't sell, it's like:
'Oh my gosh! This is personal!'
And I'm going to tell you,
I'm going to talk more about
what's going on there
and what to do about it,
but first
it's to understand
that every time
you are going to go through this phase of
taking yourself up
to the next level
you will experience a degree of that,
lesser or greater degree,
depends on...
depends on the exposure, right?
So...
I'm sure that, you know,
if get invited
to speak in front of...
5,000 people
I'd feel just the same!
Like these videos, it's fine now,
I can post them,
I post my offers...
And I'll tell you, you know, this...
How to do this in a way
that doesn't affect you so much.
So, I do that now,
it doesn't affect me.
I like feel like bulletproof, really.
So, because I've grown into it
and that's okay,
so, I'm wearing it now.
And it's manageable for me,
and it's not personal anymore.
So...
But if I get asked
to go and speak on a stage
with 5,000 people
that would be
a whole new experience for me.
Well, what did you think?
I'm going to feel exactly the same
as I felt nine years ago
when I published my website
for the first time
and only 3 people knew about it:
me, my designer
and my boyfriend at that time.
Nobody else knew
the website existed.
But I couldn't sleep all night
that night
because I felt like I was standing
on Queen Street naked
for everyone to see.
But the truth is
no one saw me,
but that's how personal it felt.
So, what I'm saying is that
this...
experience
of feeling raw and vulnerable
in your business
is not something that
is going to go away completely.
Every time you move to the next level,
you will experience that.
But
you will have a way of dealing with it.
So,
the way to deal with it is...
First, to understand
that your product
and your program,
or whatever you are putting out there,
is not you.
This is really important.
Because
when we are stretching
to that next level
the reason it feels personal is
because we are
personally invested into it.
So, the faster you can
detach yourself
from being personally invested
into that next thing
that you are doing,
your program, your product,
the faster you can detach yourself
and take yourself out of it,
The faster you will stop feeling
personally rejected.
So, that's one level to it:
the personal attachment.
So, when you think about your product
or your program
you can go and self inspect:
Is the reason it feels personal to you
because you are attached
to the outcome,
to what should happen with it,
because you want to...
receive certain feedback
about this program
which will then
give you feedback
about you?
And we don't want that.
When you receive feedback
about your program,
whether it's good or bad,
it doesn't matter,
you'll receive both,
and that's ok.
Somebody may cancel,
you know, somebody may ask
for a refund,
it happens.
It happened to me,
and that's okay.
So, it's not personal,
because it's about the program.
Or it's the way
I talked about the program
that didn't make it clear
to that other person
of what to expect
and what not to expect
within that program.
So,
when I'm not attached
then I'm able to...
look at it objectively
and make any changes
that are necessary
in order for me to improve it
and to...
make it...
better,
make it speak
the right language
to the people
that want to buy it,
so it connects for them.
Now, if I am personally
attached to it,
which means I'm emotional
about the whole thing
then I'm not able
to look at it objectively
and to make changes in it
that are objective
and that are necessary
for this program
because my whole self is invested in it,
it's so personal
I think about it:
'What does it mean about me?'
And I'm lost
in what it means about me
rather than
what it actually means
about the program
and how can I make it better.
The first step is to identify
why you feel personally rejected
when your program or your product
doesn't sell
or doesn't go as well.
So, my guess is,
and really that's the only way
to feel personally,
is that you take it personally
because you are attached to it,
you are invested in it.
And you don't want to be
invested in it.
So...
the faster
you can extract yourself
from your program
or your product
the faster you can actually
objectively work with it,
improve it
and take it to where it needs to go.
So, that's what happened to me.
You know, in the beginning,
I was exposed,
nine years ago,
when I just started,
I had no idea what I was doing.
So, I felt really exposed.
But it went very quickly,
because it was so painful
Because rejection is just normal,
it's part of business.
It was so painful
I detached myself
from what I was offering.
And that's what I did
this time, as well.
It's almost like I've a little bit
forgotten what it's like
to put myself out there,
and so I had to go
through this learning curve again.
But I went through it very quickly
because
when I was putting myself out there,
it's like: 'Ouch! Ouch! It hurts, it hurts!'
Like: Why is it hurting?
Oh, it's hurting because
I'm having expectations,
and I'm attached to it,
and I'm invested in it.
I don't want to do this.
Actually,
my business
my program,
my product
are just a vehicle,
they are not me.
So, when you фre driving, for example,
here's an analogy for you,
when you are driving
you are sitting in your car
and you are driving,
not for a moment
you are thinking that you are your car.
That would be mad.
Right?
Because when you go on the road
here is what happens:
somebody might bump into you,
there is a puddle on the road
and your car gets dirty...
the bird poos on you...
on your car,
and lots of things happen
on the road.
So, your car
gets dirty,
your car may even get dented
but you don't take it personally.
You don't think:
'Oh my gosh, it's me!'
If you do
then you'll be in for a rough ride.
That would be really emotional
to be taking your car out
for a drive every time,
that would be so emotional.
That's just not sustainable,
that's not
how to go through life.
So, the same way for your business.
You take your business out
in the form of your products,
or offers, or programs.
And that's like your car,
it's like taking your car out
for a drive
to go from A to B.
And yes,
some may bump,
some may say:
'Oh I don't like it.'
'Oh, this is not for me.'
Some may ask for refund.
You may not get any takers.
That's ok,
that's just a car.
So, what happens with the car
when it gets dirty?
You just take it to the...
washing place,
and either somebody washes it for you,
or you wash it yourself,
it basically gets washed.
And then you are off on the road again.
It doesn't stop you
from driving, is it,
when a bird poos on your car?
Well, it's the same thing in your business.
Things happen,
and you will get rejected.
So, all you do
is just
fix up your program
if it needs fixing,
so you look at it objectively,
polish it, refine it,
change your language if you need to...
And you put it out again.
You take it out for a drive again
and see what happens.
So, I hope you can do this.

How To Enter Into Safe Mode In Windows 8/8.1/10 - Vasanth Developer - Duration: 4:44.
Hey All this is Vasanth Developer, back with another quick tip video.
In this video we will see how you can access safe modes in Microsoft Windows 10, Windows
8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 Anniversary Update.
So let's get started.
To talk about we have two methods, one is going to be temporary, and is useful for any
data backup or something like that.
The second way is for permanent usage of safe mode and a bit advanced giving you more flexibility
over the temporary safe mode.
Sorry I could not show you the first method, because I don't have a camera to record my
computer screen.
And also I really apologize for uploading this video so late.
It is because I broke my PC, and It is terribly damaged, with that being said let's get to
the point.
Firstly go to your Windows desktop, make sure you have saved any of your personal work and
close all the programs.
Once done, just signout from your account.
Now in this login screen, what you want to do is, simply click on the power icon then,
hold down the shift key and press the Restart button.
Now here, instead of Restarting your computer, it should say Please Wait...
After the operation is completed, Where you will be asked to choose an option.
Now, here you will find three things, first is the continue button, and if you click that
your PC will restart into normal mode.
The second is Troubleshoot button and the third is Turn Off your PC Button.
Here you are gonna click on Troubleshoot Button.
Once you click on that, you will get two options: one Reset this PC and two: Advanced.
Now, go ahead to the Advanced options, in that Advanced options, simply select startup
settings.
If you don't want to restart into safe mode, just click on back button and you will restart
normally.
If you want to enter safe mode, just press on restart button.
And your PC should restart, after the booting is completed, you will see something like
this.
Now, in this step, press four on your keyboard to enter safe mode, press five to enter safe
mode with Internet, press six to enter safe mode with command prompt.
Now the second way of getting into safe mode.
This mode is super helpful if your computer is affected with virus and you still want
to use it.
To get started, simply open your start menu, and search for "msconfig.exe".
Once the search is completed, simply open msconfig.exe, the alternative way to open

A Comparison of Five 50mm Lenses - Duration: 6:49.
In this video, we'll be comparing five
different 50mm lenses. In no way
is this a comprehensive comparison of
every 50mm lens that's
available to you, but I hope it will open
your eyes to a few different options and
show you some of the pros and cons of
each. Let's take a look!
(Music)
A 50mm lens will
most likely be your first lens
purchase after you pick up the kit lens
for your camera. So after you watch this
video, make sure to research as many
50mm lenses as you can and see
which one best fits your needs. In this
comparison, I'll be focused on how well
these lenses work for shooting video.
While sharpness and clarity matters,
sometimes the look and feel of a lens
trumps how technically sharp the
picture is. For each lens, I'll analyze
the approximate price, its overall build
quality, and the condition of the images
rendered. If you plan to build a kit of
prime lenses, I'd suggest not only to
start with a 50mm lens of your
own, but also remain within the same lens
family for your other prime lens choices.
This makes it easier to adapt all of
your lenses to a single camera, as well
as buy all the necessary accessories.
First up to bat is the Zeiss 50mm
Planar T ZE F1.4. This lens
is a true gem among modern lenses. It's
made completely out of metal and has a
smooth follow focus which rivals many
cinema lenses. For this quality, you can
expect to pay $725 for a brand
new version. This price seems high to me
especially since you can buy other
vintage lenses that are much less and
built just as well. My major complaint
for this lens is the electronic aperture
adjustment, which does not work well for
video at least with a completely manual
lens, you have the opportunity to declick
your aperture ring, so it can perform
smooth f-stop adjustments. As you can see
from our test, the footage looks
absolutely incredible with rich color
rendition. Many filmmakers rely on Zeiss
lenses to produce professional looking
results and in this case there's no
doubt you will be amazed by the
performance of this lens. However, the
price entry point is a little steep for
most beginning filmmakers who may want
to take advantage of a more
budget-friendly option, which produces
similar results. Next we'll be taking a
look at the Leica Summicron
50mm f2. This is an extremely
impressive lens in both its build
quality and optical performance. You can
expect to spend about $450
for a decent version of this
lens, which is a much more enticing entry
point than the Zeiss Planar T. No, this is
not a brand new lens but they were made
at such a high manufacturing level that
if you buy a lens in good condition, you
will not ever notice it was used before.
These lenses are completely manual with
a long smooth focus throw and manual
aperture ring. Of all the lenses I tested
so far, this is by far the sharpest at
every aperture level. It also produces
some of my favorite footage to color
grade because it renders warm, rich
colors and creates a low level of
contrast, which provides plenty of detail
to work with in post. I cannot recommend
Leica R lenses enough. Yes, they are a
little bit higher in price, but you will
not be disappointed. It's no wonder that
many brand new lenses made with Leica
attached to their name are some of the
best performing ones out there. Leica R
lenses are known and trusted by
professional cinematographers for a good
reason. Next on our list is the Canon EF
50mm F1.4. This lens
was originally designed as a low entry
point into the newer Canon lens lineup.
It's certainly inexpensive compared to
many other brand new 50mm
lenses out on the market costing only
$330. It's no surprise then that
you can expect a low quality lens for
this price. It's made entirely out of
plastic, completely electronic, and the
manual follow focus barely functions
properly. Based on our tests, it does not
look particularly sharp wide open and
the color rendition is blah at best. It's
not overtly displeasing, but I'd argue
that there's really nothing interesting
about it either. I'd say the most
significant thing about this lens is its
ability to blur out even relatively
close backgrounds into a beautiful bokeh.
For this reason, it seems to have a
cinematic look, but I'd prefer a lens that
creates pleasing sharp images over good
bokeh. Our last two lenses that we'll be
taking a look at are by far the least
expensive and extremely popular for this
reason. The Canon FD 50mm f1.4
is an incredible bargain when you
compare its price to performance. For
about $50, you can pick up a
lens like this one in very good
condition. I'd have to say it's not
overwhelming at first glance. The lens is
made partially from plastic parts, has a
manual aperture ring that's hard to
adjust, and it's incredibly
difficult to attach to my camera.
Nevertheless, the picture looks really
remarkable for what I paid. At f2.8 and
above the images look very sharp and a
special multi-layer coating on the front
lens element provides high contrast with
consistent color balance. This lens
produces a unique look with a lot of
character, which is why I think so many
filmmakers are drawn to it. The last lens
on our list is by far the most
remarkable in my opinion. This is the
Minolta MD Rokkor-X 50mm f1.4,
which you can pick up in great condition
for $100 or less. It's not
the cheapest on our list, but the build
quality is remarkable and captures
stunning images. This is the same case
for many Minolta MD lenses. The Rokkor-X
has an incredibly smooth follow focus
with hard stops on either end and snappy
manual aperture ring. While there are a
few plastic parts, it has a solid build
construction which will last for many
decades to come. During my tests, I was
really impressed by the images rendered
at lower apertures, especially at f1.4.
The lens's sharpness really doesn't
shine until you stop up to f2.8 and
above. I'd argue that this lens contends
with even some of the most expensive
lenses out on the market. One thing to
also note, is that the Minolta MD Rokkor-X
50mm does show noticeable
vignetting at lower aperture settings. I
believe this adds to its unique
character, however some people may not
like this effect. The vignetting does not seem
to correct itself completely, until you reach f4 and above.
All five of these lenses are really
remarkable, but I'd say only a few are
worth the money, if you wish to use them
for filmmaking endeavors. I'd highly
recommend looking into the Leica R
Summicron 50mm f2. This is my go-to
50mm lens for all my shoots
because it produces the most pleasing
results in my opinion. Just know these
lenses are not cheap and are sometimes
hard to come by. If you're on a budget, I'd
look into the Minolta MD Rokkor-X 50mm
f1.4, or its predecessor the
Minolta MC Rokkor-X PG 50mm
f1.4. These lenses were built at the same
high standard as Leica R lenses and
offer some incredible results. Most
importantly, any lens can create
incredible looking images in the hands
of the right filmmaker. It's up to you to
find a lens that you feel comfortable
with. I'd keep watching reviews and
sample footage until you find one that
looks right
and fits your budget. Click on the links
