What are good vintage lenses for video?

Owner of an old K30.

I'm getting more interested in video lately. I'm interested in recreating a 1970's look, what better than a 1970's lens.

Any recommended lenses for video? I'm guessing 50mm primes are the way to go.

One day ill upgrade to the k3.

I know that preset lenses have a certain cachet due to the clickless aperture.

And there is this web site:

I always thought the old A 35-105 f3.5 would have worked well for video. Zoom lens with good range, and beautiful old school rendering, unique for a zoom lens.

There's a really easy way to declick old Pentax lenses. We'll have an article on that on the homepage in the coming days
