In this video I talk about lenses and more specifically about FOCAL LENGTHS. In facts, it's very easy to get lost into which brand of lenses to buy, but I think it's equally important to figure out which focal lengths to get first.

I would say a 20/24mm and a 55/60mm lens covers 95% of what you need on super35, on full frame its 35mm and 85mm

@florianropers Год назад

Great video Matteo - loved the examples you showed for each focal length. My favorite is the 20 on my Pocket 6K. Glad I got my prime set which is similar to yours in terms of focal lengths. (20/28/35/50/100 - barely use the 100 though).

@leosylver7 Год назад

Still got sigma 18/35 zoom lens in my kit.. Love wide angle focal length because it keeps things in focus when moving handheld.

Absolutely love the buttery LUT for our BMPCC 6K Pro! Been using it ever since we bought it. Thank you very much. :)

@MrHauerManuel Год назад

i scrambled a set of leica r lenses (15/19/28/50/90) and a bm6kpro together because ive been diging your work/style so much. after half a year, i only shoot with one lens now. its the 15/3.5. im a sucker for wide angle and its just amazing to look at the image its producing. especially with faces and shaky handheld. i get bored by all the other focal lengths these days! the 19 is cool, but too tight on the 6k imo. thank you for sharing you work - inspired me to pic up video again ♥

@abandonshipproductions Год назад

Great video! I have owned an URSA 12k for about a year and I find myself using my meike cine 35mm most. It seems to be the most versatile lens in my kit, and I love the bokeh + it has a more natural look for peoples faces than my wider lenses. I tried to get into the sigma 18-35, but there just wasn't any character to that lens that made me excited to use it and I ended up selling it to buy another meike cine lens. (Just wanted to share my experience with that lens for anyone considering buying that vs cine primes) If I could only use one focal length on my URSA it would probably be 35mm, but like you, I find myself reaching for my wider lens (25mm) a lot as well!

Thanks a lot! When I'm doing work in the field (as a one man show) I find myself only using a wide angle and a mid-zoom lens... I still have a LONNNNG way to go when using the right focal lenght for the right shot... It's hard as a one man band...

I recently switched from Rokinon to Meike lenses for my BMPCC4k and I like the 25mm, 35mm and 50mm. I didn’t use my 85mm Rokinon very much so I didn’t get another when I switched. I’m planning on getting an 18mm to complete my set.

@richardlouis-pierre8607 Год назад

I use the sigma 18-35 mostly on my pocket 6k pros. But, I often struggle with distance from my subject with different focal lengths to get the framing and background compression that I want. Could you either do a video about that or just add distance from subject in some of your shot descriptions?

@florianropers Год назад

That’s actually an easy and useful homework to do yourself. He‘s put up the focal length and references for each one. You‘d just have to put your zoom to said focal length and recreate the framing. You‘ll learn more this way than just by asking the information

@danielchacin Год назад

5:44 5:44 Hello Mateo, thanks for your videos, they always provide good information. I have a blackmagic pocket 6k and for budget reasons at the moment I have only one 24mm T1.5 lens, I am in doubt whether to buy a 35mm or 50mm, sometimes I can that the 35 is going to be very close to the 24mm what's your opinion about it? I hope in the future to be able to buy glasses like yours.

@babylon812 Год назад

Great video! The best I've found so far on this topic! I was thinking about getting the Meike S35 for my z-cam e2s6. Given that you recommend a 19mm+35mm here, would you recommend me the 25mm+50mm Meike if I buy those lenses made for s35 sensors as yours behave similar? So in other words. If I want to buy lenses made for an s35 Sensor like the Meike ones, which ones would you pick if you had to choose two or three out of 18+25+35+50+75+100?

@valexy87 Год назад

hey, indeed Leica R 19mm 2.8 is expensive lens . A great budget option of it is the Carl Zeiss Jena Flektagon 20mm f2.8 . I would advise you to pick it on M42 and you can adapt it extremely easy and cheap to any system. There are some videos on RU-vid even on Alexa , searh for it. Around 300-500 USD on the used market and last but not least 67mm filter thread .

@akcine Год назад

@@valexy87 I appreciate the recommendation. I wonder how it would match with the Leica set.

@LoganWalker23 Год назад

What Canon FD focal ranges would you recommend on the pocket 4K?

@djmx9237 Год назад

He just discussed that in this video. The pocket 4k has a X2 crop factor (X1.9 to be exact). so a 28mm fd lens will be a 53mm and q 50 will be a 95mm. But if you get a speedbooster, the 28 can be a 36mm and the 50 a 67mm. So i'd say you should get the 50mm for sure and if you have a speedbooster the 28mm cause of cost/value but if you have the money and way of finding them you get wider FD lenses. I'd also reccomend the Canon FD 70-210mm.

@matteobertoli Год назад

Depends if you are using a speedbooster. Unfortunately there isn’t a very good wide angle lens for the FD. I think Nikkor are a much better option!

@Efousset37 Год назад

Curious, is your 19mm the V1 or V2? I've read a lot about the V1 having a bunch of issues shooting into bright light but I'm not too fussed by that

@matteobertoli Год назад

V1 and love it! Not a fan of the flares on v2 and the cost makes no sense. There is some chromatic aberration if you shoot against super bright light wide open, but once you step down to f/3 or 4 those issues are gone

@leosylver7 Год назад

@@matteobertoli is it also called leica R summicron?

@00anta Год назад

The 90 and the 50mm summicrons are very different lenses. The 1st gen 50 is easily the wild child of the Leica R system and the lens with the most character out of them. It even has quite pronounced swirly bokeh up to about 1m. Wide open it is also very painterly, especially in out of focus areas. The 90mm is really tuned for faces and portraits. It performs very differently when focusing close and when focusing near infinity. It has a lot of microcontrast and 3D pop and is really, really flattering to the human face. That's what it's made for, really. So I personally wouldn't say they can be used interchangeably based on equivalent focal length. Also, at 3-4k a piece, the 19mm is a bit hard to recommend to people who are just satarting out...on full frame, the field of view is very wide and requires quite a different mindset for composition. So I think people should pass it up and see if they like extreme wide angles before forking out all this money.
