I 1000% agree with everything you said about these lenses. Hands down the best value and quality for the buck.

@gabrielmachadobsb 4 месяца назад

Hey Joshua, nice to see you here! I've got a question for both you and Spenser - is there a list of PL to Fuji X adapters that are fully compatible with the Athenas? I've seen Nisi doesn't make them for X mount, so I've been wanting to research this before pulling the trigger on them. Any idea if the DZO Octopus will fit?

@janthony1980 4 месяца назад

@cinedallies watched your review on them and making me want to pull the trigger on these lenses

@limestone_xyz 4 месяца назад

Honestly, I think the lighting is so good in these shots, you could take any lens to make them look great :D (besides that hard technical / mechanical specs of the lenses)

@orangereyatoday 4 месяца назад

The same thoughts on this:D

@dareckmaurice4295 3 месяца назад

Damn these look great 🔥

It’s because it’s back focus. Not the mount. The glass in the back moves back and fourth, hence why some cameras it might not work…like film cameras for example and it moves quite a bit, a friend had a tech at PV check them and said it moved quite a bit. Granted they are still great lenses for the price, but if you are using adapter, especially with filters/glass, I would have a look at the flange before I mount them so I won’t ruin the lens.

@EdProsser 4 месяца назад

Been shooting with the vespids for a few years but these have me very interested as a cleaner alternative for certain jobs. Always interested in your thoughts of new gear. Thanks.

Great vid as always spenser but whose music is that in the beginning?

@redfacilities 4 месяца назад

Love it - how did you match the R7 BTS camera the the REDs - is it with your luts???

@bloodswarms 4 месяца назад

Man, yeah, the lens is amazing. But I want to know the information about the wood smoke whiskey thing at the beginning of the video. That's what I want to know about now.

@bluerosestudios7118 4 месяца назад

I own a set and have shot 6 short films on them and they're unparalleled (especially at the price point)

@SWATxPolicy 4 месяца назад

These lenses are awesome and so affordable I almost feel bad for investing in them lol… everybody is going to have access to these through a friend or really cheap rental from a rental house I’m almost saddened it can’t be leveraged as a business perk over my competitors.

@KaceyBakerFilms 4 месяца назад

I thought this was a Master Prime video, I was watching it thinking God I miss mine…. Then you said NISI, and I was like .. wait what????? I need these lol…

@KaceyBakerFilms 4 месяца назад

The have a Cooke look these lenses, soft with detail.

@kunstspielklavier185 4 месяца назад

So just like the Master Primes then?🤔

@whatnow5598 4 месяца назад

For such short distance pulls when you were messing around sitting down, pretty significant breathing : ( . Very nice sequence you shot!!

@MartinVlog444 4 месяца назад

great video... just curious what did you shoot the review part of the video with ? camera ? lens ?

@spensersakurai 4 месяца назад

Talking head was on Canon R7 with speedboosted sigma 35mm f1.4. Slow motion b-roll of the lenses was Komodo.

@noranoskyle4417 Месяц назад

which three lense sizes would you suggest to buy first? i have only RF lenses 85 1.2, 15-35 2.8 and the 28-70 rf 2. They can be problematic for focus breathing but great for one person scenes. Which two for land scape and two or 1 person scenes ?

@vanraz 4 месяца назад

Are you gonna do a video on the Dulens Apo Mini primes?

@spensersakurai 4 месяца назад

Yes

Whats the best variable nd for the nisis?

@kunstspielklavier185 4 месяца назад

Seeing you move the motor for your lens change bothers me way more than it should.🤣

@mittaw 4 месяца назад

Does anybody know how the Nisi Athena compares to the Zeiss classics in terms of look?

@spensersakurai 4 месяца назад

Classics have way more “look” and lots of chromatic aberration. Very very different lenses.

@raildude270 4 месяца назад

Is there anyway these lenses can be used with a speedbooster on the Komodo? I think I heard someone say it wasn’t possible

@spensersakurai 4 месяца назад

Not possible unfortunately but you can see they look great without a focal reducer.

@raildude270 4 месяца назад

@@spensersakurai that's true. I just like being able to make one lens two focal lengths. Especially with the komodo cropping in lower resolutions

@RicoStein_ 4 месяца назад

Would be nice to have EF Mount, to be able to use a Speedbooster with a Komodo for example. Just to use the FF coverage of the lenses. This is kind of a deal breaker for me :(

@spensersakurai 4 месяца назад

Agreed but also they look really nice on s35 and it’s not a deal breaker for me.

@RicoStein_ 4 месяца назад

@@spensersakurai but you get totally different characteristics, like flares and distortion on the sides when using the full frame coverage. This is what they are made for. I was in contact with NiSi, but they will not make an EF mount and unfortunately they will also not make interchangeable lens mounts to switch from PL to RF or E mount for example....sad and disappointing nowadays.

@JvanEtten 3 месяца назад

Which 35mm do you prefer? The nisi one or the zeiss milvus, image quality wise (bokeh, micro contrast etc etc)

@spensersakurai 3 месяца назад

tricky. The zeiss have more of a "look" to them but dont' have the same nice cinema housing the Athena's have. And you can't get the Milvus in PL. That being said Im about to shoot a multi episode project all on Milvus just because I liked what they offered for the project.

@JvanEtten 3 месяца назад

Yeah i’m a bit torn which to get but i do like the “look” of zeiss more. I don’t mind that they don’t have a PL mount since its not that difficult to adapt canon or nikon mounts. The fact that you chose the milvus over the athena’s for a new project says a lot! Only minor negative of the milvus would be the focus breathing but as long as you don’t do a lot of focus pull shots it shouldn’t matter that much. If the breathing was as good as the nisi it would be an absoluut no brainer choice for me. Thanks for your reply!

@ThePatrvq 14 дней назад

would it be OK to buy 85mm of this for street photo? what would be the disadventage compare to photo lens?

@spensersakurai 14 дней назад

I wouldn’t use cinema lenses for photography. You’ll probably miss focus lol

@spensersakurai 4 месяца назад

this is 100 percent not a photo lens.

@Keerationfilms 3 месяца назад

@@spensersakurai just saying, dzofilms vespid imo is the better lense. If I wanted the athena, I'll stick a photo lense that gives me the same look. Got the Athena because all the RU-vidrs were hyping it up. The image to me just look like Sony gm lens, decided to rent the dzofilms lens and straight away I see the difference in characters between the two, I returned the Athena and bought the dzo lens. I usually don't say anything til you said that cine lense at that same price point was the best lense that you've tested, I don't believe you believe that when you said it.
