Not scientific, but definitely not pointless. These iPhone cameras are very similar, and anyway we’re looking at lens characteristics, not dynamic range, etc. Watch this 8+/6s comparison test if you’re interested ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YTzLSDO2uys.html
Well... Actually, these two camera’s video capabilities are extremely similar. But even if they weren’t... this is not a camera comparison or a dynamic range comparison or a low light comparison - all the things that would matter in that kind of test. This is a lens test and comparison. Flares, bokeh, and more. It’s about lens characteristics as this post and all the other ones clearly state. Since you didn’t watch... Spoiler alert: In the end they’re both solid choices. Really just depends on what ecosystem you want to buy into. Moment definitely has more lens options so in that respect it’s a more pragmatic choice.
Yeah with two different phones - it pretty much invalidates the whole test - how are we to decipher what is the result of the anamorphic lens and what is caused by different camera lenses and image processors in the phone (as an example, warm vs cooler colors) Yes, I caught that you said this wasn't meant to be a scientific test BUT, honestly, using the same two phones is such a basic control for any test, I'm a bit surprised you went forward with it. Still, I can see you've put a lot of work into producing this video so I am very appreciative of the effort even though I can't make any real world decisions based upon what I see here.
I agree Razeen - however you probably could find two videos here on youtube each one using the different anamorphic lenses but featuring the same phone and that would probably tell you more even though the images would obviously be different.
Not remotely. The video quality between these two phones is very similar, if not indistinguishable. 4K 24p in Filmic Pro. Plus we’re looking at lens characteristics, not dynamic range. White balance is not affected by camera sensors. And of course the 6s actually looks better in many of the setups.
True, the two different iPhone models I believe, have slightly different internal lens mechanism configurations, although glass elements and materials are about the same. Still, I think the difference in impact would be negligible in this case. In light of not having 2 identical and expensive iPhones handy, another method would have been to run the same test with each lens while swapping the phones with one another, just to confirm a baseline. Aside from that, I'm now leaning towards a Moondog purchase.
If anyone is interested, the Moondog range includes stand-alone clip-on options too. (No case or special attachments required). Not trying to push either, but I’ve been so happy with my Moondog lens (clip-on) for years on a 6s, that I wanted to pass on the info.
I am a anamorphic junky. I have anamorphic lenses for my DSLR/mirrorless cameras, and I also have all three versions of the Moondog Labs phone lenses (direct mount to iPhone 6 / 37mm for beastgrip / new 12.5mm for dedicated phone case). I can say that all three versions of the Moondog are identical in optical performance. I was interested in the Moment anamorphic but am glad you made this video. I know it’s subjective, but for me, the Moment looks terrible. The image is as you said too contrasty, and the flare looks artificial. It reminds me of my early experiments with using fishing line taped in front of a 50mm. The Moondog Labs lenses look very much like a real anamorphic lens. Compared to my SLR Magic anamorph, the Moondog Labs looks the closest. Meaning, it looks natural and less contrasty. It looks more cinematic to my eyes. So while the Moment is less expensive, I think the Moondog Labs lenses are worth the extra money. Now, regarding the moondog 12.5mm, I’m using it with the dedicated case on my iPhone X on a Zhiyun Smooth 4 with counter weights, as well as the Freefly Movi CR with dedicated counter weights. Both are additionally mounted to a 4th-axis handle mount. And it’s really incredible how we are now able to make cinematic projects with a phone. These are great times!
Thanks for the informative comment about the moondog lenses being similar in quality. I'm just getting into videography/learning about anamorphic lenses. In what circumstances would you choose to pick up the your phone, moondog and gimble rather than use your actual camera with slr magic anamorph?
For me the phone is the camera I always have with me. I walked across Spain and, while I thought I was going to bring my GH 5 and lenses, I ended up just bringing an iPhone XS. I was delighted with my choice. Since I was backpacking and walking 500 miles I would have been miserable with the extra weight. Plus my phone was always set up and ready. Sure there's a quality hit. But at least I got the shots.
I’ve been testing Moment Anamorphic Lens for a bit, and had a slight doubt about its lens flair despite good image quality. I think your comparison test just confirms that doubt. My guess is that Moment team hasn’t figured out the mass production of the coating yet(they looked better in the prototype testing footage). Anyway it’s a challenging process for the team and I’m happy with my lens. Kudos to you for another great video that’s both informative and helpful.
The Color temperature of the Moment looked way better but I guess that’s easy to create in post. The contrast of the skin tones on the Moondog though definitely trumped the Moment. I know you can change that with color grading but it’s more work than temperature. That said, Moment looks less fiddly and easier to use which is why it would be my choice.
All valid points. 👍🏻 The Moment is a great choice. We’ll likely shoot a lot more anamorphic stuff now since it’s so easy to use. And, since we have all the other Moment lenses, too. Thanks for watching!
October 2020: I just got my Moment Anamorphic yesterday for $129.99. The case was $30, but I have two lenses (and will probably buy more), so the mobility and ease of detaching and attaching multiple lenses makes it really worth it.
As I've revisited this video this afternoon, I'm reminded of a process we used in the days of film. You talked about the Moondog lens having less contrast compared to the Moment. I agree, the Moondog's contrast is preferable. When shooting on film, depending on the story and genre, we would "flash" the film to reduce its contrast. Normally, this was done prior to shooting and was preformed, preferably, by the same lab that would process the film and print the dailies. The Moondog is mimicking the flashed "look" very well. It's always easier to add contrast than it is to remove it.
Yes have heard of that process. Interesting stuff. And we’ve done several shoots since this and found that to be the case. It can be subtle, but the Moondog has a more natural, organic vibe. Actually planning to do another round of anamorphic comparisons as there are a lot of players in the market now!
I’ve been shooting with the Moondog (stand-alone) clip-on lens for the iPhone 6s for a few years, and it’s been jaw dropping. I keep it in my pocket at all times. It’s easy and takes no time or effort to use. I also use the Moondog with an Osmo Mobile 2 when I’m doing something special, and I bought the Moondog counterweight for balance. The counterweight was expensive, and I was reluctant to purchase at first, but it’s so convenient (magnet-based design) that I’ve not regretted the purchase at all. Especially looking at these examples, I am very glad to have bought and used the Moondog. I’ve had tons of value over the years.
Everything I've seen here only validates my thoughts on what I'd seen previously from the two lenses on youtube. I personally feel the cleaner look of the Moment lens is nicer. To me the look feels somehow more expensive, like they used a better lens coating to really bring out the flares and not cause the whole video to fuzz out when light is in the frame.
I love them both! I do like the purple hue on the Moondog. I did get over saturated blue on my Moment but cos I work in post as a career, it's no biggie and can be rectified. :)
Great comparison review, as usual! I've been debating to get one of these two lenses, so your timing is perfect. I've been really happy with my Moment wide angle, so am a little bummed that their Ana has more distortion than Moondog's. Agree with you on Moondog's image quality, based on your tests. Thanks for including info about overall user experience, form factor, ease of use, pricing, etc.! Incredibly helpful.
One really important thing to point out here is that the Helium Core is only good for iPhones, Moment supports Samsung Galaxy and Note lines, and BeatGrip does supports basically any phone. As you said in the video, the Moodog lens will have to be set up on a rig, which increases the already higher cost. You can get the Moment lens + a case and still have money left over compared to the price of just the Moodog lens without the rig that it screws onto. I have this Moodog lens and aBeatGrip, and to tell you honestly it's in a drawer, because it is so cumbersome to set up each time. I also have Moment cases for all my phones and I truly love them, not just as a camera accessory but as a case too. I have all the Moment lenses apart from the Anamorphic and I use them every day for work. To me the Moment ecosystem is the clear winner! Oh yeah I have a Freefly Movi too and it's basically designed to work with Moment lenses.
Definitely true. We talk about this a lot actually... The idea that you need to make this kind of gear & setup easy to use as well as produce nice images. We use our Moment lenses more often than our other gear, too. It’s so convenient. Although we really like the Moondog and a Helium (and Beastgrip) combo. Thanks for sharing!
I feel you should do another comparison video where you try swapping the phone / lens combo. Especially the low light shots - I feel that iPhones get better year after year processing low light shots.
Anamorphics are usually used when you have a main subject up close with the background is further behind...so distortion will not ne so apparent...but I agree with you that too much of it is ugly....cheers Andre
Thanks for all the work making this test. IMHO, the difference between the cameras is almost irrelevant, since this is about the nature of lenses, and the comparisons are fine for evaluating that. I give the Moondog a slight edge based on the nature of the flares, but I like the greater contrast in the Moment. For ease of use and cost the Moment wins for me since the two lenses are so similar. I do wish you had shot some gimbal footage since that is my major reason for buying an anamorphic lens. Thanks again.
We’re going to shoot some anamorphic gimbal stuff with the Moment. We’ve shot some on the Moondog already as we showed. We’ll post something in a future video. And you’re correct on the cameras. We are looking at lens characteristics. Plus, the cameras are extremely similar despite what some are saying. Thanks for watching and your feedback!
thank you for this comparison and the work involved in it. Side note: there are slim iPhone cases that allow the use of the Moondoglabs with smartphone Gimballs. They cost a few bucks on Ebay. You just have to screw the Moondog Anamprphic on it. It also allows precise rotation of the lens hence accurate anamorphic.
Thanks! Appreciate you watching and sharing that Moondog info. Have to check that out. 👍🏻 We’re going to get the new version to try out also that has the 12.5mm case mount, similar to the Moment.
I like the picture and flare of the Moondog better, but I'm sure this is just all preferences. Given the fact that the Moondog is on the iphone6s and I still like it better only means if it was on the iphone8plus, I would have no doubt hands down take the Moondog over the Moment.
Excellent review, really top notch production 👍 I appreciate the time it took you to put all that together. I never used anamorphic lenses yet and after some quick research h I was leaning towards moment for ease of use on my xs Max. You brought up a great point about contrast and how it makes faces and skin tones look more pleasing. I guess I could adjust contrast in post altho the better it is out of camera the less work later. I will keep that in mind, thanks! 👏
I see little PRACTICAL difference between the two. As far as price goes, the Moment lens has the advantage BUT that advantage is pretty much wiped out by the need for a special case and mount... so it's much like comparing half a dozen to six. Looks to me like EITHER lens would do an adequate job. Most people (not techies, I'm talking about average viewers here) would not notice any difference between the two. It's kind of like comparing shots made with a Canon and a Nikon. It's NOT the equipment so much as it is the SUBJECT (story, lighting, direction- all the creative parts) that's the FAR more important consideration. A Volkswagen beetle and a Cadillac Seville will BOTH get you to the same destination, a fact that many people seem to overlook.
Alright since moondog was made by ex zeiss and Kodak optical engineers, I think your experiment proved that even that being used in IP6 was better than moment on IP8
I somewhat felt it should have been the same phone. I feel that white balance shift is due to different phones. But anyways lots of details, tips in the video. Keep making!
Thanks for watching! We did a previous video comparing all the Moment lenses (Moment vs. Moment) and the anamorphic definitely has a warmer look. We also did a video showing how the 8 Plus and 6s are very similar. Same sensor size, etc. So while not a scientific test - the findings are solid, albeit not perfect. Btw, we will be doing more testing in the future against other anamorphic lenses and phone models, too.
Thanks for a great comparison. I enjoy my moondog but the one knock I have about the slip on model is there is no access to the rear elements and so dust can go in and there is no way to get it out. This is probably not an issue with the threaded models. I don't see dust in my images yet but that's just me. The slip on's also do add to the "get up and go" factor though and is no problem with my older zhiyun smooth 3 gimbal.
Any chance of getting more involved depth of field bokeh footage? Not many people are demonstrating this aspect in their videos. Anyway, thanks for making this comparo - much appreciated.
Maybe I'm missing something, or perhaps the Moondog wasn't cleaned first, but the image always looks smudgy to me here, especially in comparison. It's pretty distracting for me, so I would have to vote for the Moment in this case. However, I would be ecstatic to have either!
They’re both very nice. 👍🏻 Can’t go wrong with either. Smudges... Might be YT compression? We cleaned the lens although fingerprints can and do happen!
Why go to the trouble and expense of using an anamorphic lens, which can twist and warp the image, when you could use a wide-angle adapter, and crop the top and bottom for the anamorphic aspect ratio? In either situation, you’re getting the full horizontal resolution of the camera, and software is throwing away the top and bottom to give you the wide/short aspect ratio.
Actually shooting anamorphic there is no crop. You get the entire 2.39:1 widescreen image. If you shoot 16x9 you do have to crop the top and bottom and/or letterbox to get the same aspect ratio (and thus lose resolution). Here’s a video we did on this topic... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IZR3cvCjQ2k.html
Great test, I prefer the look of the moondog, agree on some of these shots the moment does look a little “plugin”, I don’t think it’s down to the phones being different and I’m not a fan of that baked on warm characteristic of that lens, I own all of the moment lenses except their anamorphic and love them all, great Conpany moment is, but I think I’ll order this new moondog. Great channel you have here and love your short Miranda, your videos here are fantastic!
Thanks! We like both lenses TBH, but do think the Moondog has a more organic & natural look. Actually got the new 12.5mm case mount one recently, too. We shot a lot of “Miranda” on the Moondog.
Great review, and I have to agree, that although they are both great lenses, the Moondog looks more organic. I think the phone will make a difference too. If you was to shoot both lens on the same phone model, you will probably see even better results. I wonder how or when Beastgrip releases their anamorphic lens, how much different that one will make. Thanks for a great comparison.
Nice unscientific comparison. 😉👍 Based on all the hype and test videos promoting Moment anamorphic I was expecting it to blow Moondog with the lens flares. They both flared similar aside for color hue & density. I wanted more flaring on my Moondog thus also ordered a Moment to fulfill my flared addiction. 😁 I'll judge for myself when I receive the Moment. Thanks for the video. 👍
Gerald Deus - Moondog make a whole range of clip-on lenses too. Nothing simpler; no case, just slip on, slip off. I never leave the house without it in my pocket.
rootytuners $175.00 is a lot of money to spend and it not be a universal system. I would rather wait on beastgrip anamorphic lens I could use on any iphone
Gerald Deus - that’s a very fair concern, and one I shared before buying. It will be decision again for me when I upgrade my phone. You are totally locked to a specific iPhone version with the Moondog clip-on variety. Just wanted to point out it was an option (that wasn’t apparent in the review).
rootytuners it’s one of the reasons I went with the beastgrip rig system. Didn’t want to be locked into a sustem. I’m waiting on my moment anamorphic right now. And eventually getting the beastgrip anamorphic
I'm watching this after already having bought the moment anamorphic lens. I like the more natural look of the moondog. But ultimately, I don't think it makes too much of a difference for me right now. Maybe later I'll invest in a beastgrip rig, but for now, moment's snap on snap off lenses with phone gimbal works for me.
Bro you spent hours doing this tough job...hats off to you...the only thing stopping your review to be considered "scientific " is to get another phone of the same make/version... that'd shut'em naysayers n cynics💪🤝👏👍👍🙏💖
Hi. Great comparison. Thanks. I just got my Moment anamorphic and not overly excited about the amount of distortion. You mention you’ll be doing a vid on some distortion workarounds in this vid here - would be awesome to hear your suggestions for ironing out distortion on these type of lenses soon!
Thanks! We haven’t made that video yet on distortion, but we have talked about it more in a few other videos. We will make that though. But easiest way is to shoot with the second camera / telephoto lens. So just put the Moment on that mount. Then you’re shooting past a lot of it and still getting anamorphic.
Only the first scene before the Marvel logo in Guardians of the Galaxy was shot with anamorphic lenses. All the anamorphic lens flares in both Guardians movies where added in post.
People saying there huge improvements between the 6s and 8 Plus need to take a step back. For one, as stated in the video, it's not a scientific test. Secondly, the camera technology really didn't change too much between the cameras themselves. The megapixels and the f/stop are the same. The only thing that changed was how the phone was programmed to capture images so if to you use the same app, such as FILMiC Pro you'll get practically the same image.
Dylan i mistyped. The way the iphoneographers channel shot it was the same f-stop and the image was processed in the same way as each other (4k 24fps) through FILMiC Pro. So the images are going to be virtually indistinguishable. I appreciate the condescending tone though, how're those weekly videos coming along?
tydalwave it’s actually impossible to change the fstop via an app because its fixed, so if a phone has an f1.8 lens and the other has an f2.2, obviously the latter will have less light to work with, add in the size of the sensor and you’ve got two different cameras. Also color science is usually built in the ISP so the colors aswell will be different. So no, it’s like comparing apples to oranges. Ps. I know, most of the differences beetween the two external lenses were definitely beyond the variances in sensor/lens, but it’s just to be precise.
jody hinterleitner true it can't be changed legitimately as it would be on a DSLR but the apps simulate a fstop change, for depth of field purposes of course. But it's doable through software, albeit "fake."
Pls make a comparative review on Moment vs Kapkur vs Ulanzi Anamorphic lenses as well. Prices vary a lot and I don’t know much details in the materials used on the kapkur and ulanzi. Thank you.
iPhoneographers thank you. It’s gonna help a lot of aspiring mobile videographers who are on a budget. Keep up the good work! :) I love watching your uploads.
Yes, indeed, it WAS helpful and informative and also very pleasant to listen to and well-presented overall. Helped me with my buying decision, too, so thank you very much. I am just a naive beginner, but someday I would be interested in your views on shooting with a wide lens (they cost less) in the cinematic aspect ratio. I did this while shooting a music rehearsal - have always loved ultrawide lenses for close-in shooting to catch the environment as well as the foreground subject(s). Looks good to me. I shot in 1080p, 24fps, and 1/48 on an iPhone SE with Freefly Movi Cinema Robot handheld. Are there clear advantages to a true anamorphic lens, beyond beautiful flare? I'm guessing it would be better to shoot in 4K and process in a 1080p timeline? Thanks again.
@@iphoneographers Forgot to mention I also added the 52 mm adapter. Just started using the Beastgrip Pro and I like it as well. Got a confirmation that all has left the building at Moondog Labs 👌
Good call! 🙌🏻 ND is very important and it works well with the mount. Just make sure everything is aligned before you shoot. It can sometimes shift and the image can skew.
I have the Moondog lens with the built in clamp (iPhone 6S Plus) so no need for any special cases, I bring it with me snap it on and ready to shoot. Even if you're using different phones the Moondog lens to me beat out the Moment in every category which was on a better device with better dynamic range. There is a slight price difference but when you're buying this niche product I don't think you'll be thinking about the difference in price considering you probably want the best results you can get.
Definitely gave me some education on that one, thanks! QUESTION: What filter type of filter should I use on an iphone to prevent that green dot lens flare if I am filming a sunset for example? Just something simple and affordable?
The Moment lens does have a warm cast to it. We’ve tested and shown this in numerous videos. The coating on the Moondog is more neutral. Whichever one people prefer is subjective of course.
The Moment lens coating is warmer, even compared to their other lenses. We learned that in this video... Moment vs. Moment | How does the ANAMORPHIC lens compare? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9XL1nCYrKXg.html
The Moondog labs 12.5mm has an updated design that has a different more anamorphic looking bokeh. I think the skin tone comparison is pretty useless considering the color science between the 6s and the 8 is different. Different NDs also effect color.
I’m not sure if the question is asked before. My mobile Samsung got a close column of 3 small lenses. Which lens should I plug into? Is it possible at all without damaging the other lenses?
Typically you use the standard wide lens. But remember you need a bayonet case for the Moment lens to work. And this Moondog lens you need a rig with a 37mm mount like a Beastgrip.
Have you tried the Moondog Anamorphic with an iPhone 14 Pro Max yet? Any vignetting issues on the extreme edges? I've heard the Moment lens has that issue.
Moment makes no proprietary case for the LG v50 ThinQ so that makes the Made in New York or at least designed in New York Moondog the winner. I can get a Beast Grip to work for Moondog I can also get a 37mm lens filter clip to work for it on my Zhiyun Smooth-Q if I add a counterweight, so there you go.
I was really looking forward to footage that would more readily demonstrate the capabilities of these lens, from a more cinematic perspective, i.e. focus pulls, bokeh with lights instead of heavy details like leaves? Yes, you demonstrated the light flares, skin tones, and such, but when shooting a closeup or even a medium closeup, anamorphic really shines, and it would've been nice to see that in a non-studio setting? Just my two cents.
Looking at this vid mainly since my moment Anamorphic is arriving today. The Moondog has slightly better characteristics but I factor that because of the fact that Moondog is leaning more towards the vintage look when it comes to their lenses. A shame, since they don't support beyond iPhones and I'm not a fan of the clip-on style lens. Moment seems to be a bit more "artificial" but I factor that with them going for the more modern Anamorphic look than anything else. Could also be some slight defects in the coating of the glass but only way to really test that is by using the same device for both lens comparisons, which doesn't seem to be the point of this video anyways. All I can conclude is that both lenses are great and pretty much come down to which look you prefer and more importantly, compatibility.
I can use a 37mm lens clip on the Moondog on my LG v50. There is no case that works for the Moment lens and the LG v50. Moment is supporting the Pixel and a Samsung device, but the best Android for video is an LG with built in manual controls and HDR10.
The colours of the moment seem completely off to me. Not even close to natural. You talked about “warmer” colours but they’re not a little bit warmer, they look like they have a very strong filter?
I think if you shoot in slog or a neutral picture profile you'll be able to color grade to your liking in post. I was originally looking at these two lenses as well but the mounting system for the Moondogs lens seems too cumbersome/large. the moment lens case feels more or less like a normal iPhone case when you don't have the lens on so just based on that I'm going with the moment lens.
they are both great lenses that will take mobile videos to a next level thanks for the tests (universal lenses are always the best.. i will keep my moondog for now)
So did you ever do a comparison where you swapped the lenses to the other phone to see if the contrast and warmth differences were the lenses or the phone sensors?? If not then I’ll just ignore those observations as I don’t know if then results are attributable to the lens or phone, but I will take in the comparison of the definite lens characteristics (distortion, etc).
Yes we’ve actually seen the warmth and showed this in several other videos. In some of the comparisons here the WB did play a role, but the Moment lens is warmer (and actually warmer than all their other lenses - guessing its the coating to create the blue flares).
@@iphoneographers Ok, then I wouldn't call it "warmth", I'd call it a discoloration. "Warmth" implies something good or desired, but for those of us who shoot in Log, for example, that coloration would not be at all desirable. I'm VERY glad I found this video. I ordered a Moondog Labs lens because of this comparison. Thanks for doing it.
Well, warmth is actually the correct way to say that. We’re talking about color temperature, so it’s typically either warm or cold (tungsten or daylight), but we get what you’re saying. :) The Moondog is a great lens. Hope you like it!
You keep using the word bokeh. I do not think it means what you think it means. Bokeh is what you see at night with spots of lights in the background of a scene at a shallow depth of field. It's not depth of field itself. Or as per www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/photography/tips-and-solutions/understanding-bokeh: "In photography, bokeh (/ˈboʊkeɪ/ BOH-kay; Japanese: [boke]) is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light"." Also as a professional cinematographer and knowing how a Professional Anamorphic lenses from various companies look in comparison to the above two lenses, the Moment is very much on point at replicating a $40,000 anamorphic lens. The Moondog's focal length at 37mm is a little too narrow for me, and it does a decent job, and it's not a bad lens, but the Moment in my opinion, having worked for nearly 30 years on major studio productions, is definitely the more accurate lens and has a much nicer focal length. Also you talked about contrast, if you shot flat and RAW contrast is not an issue and can be set to your preference once you're in Davinci.
Thanks for the comment. We know what bokeh is though. May have used the word haphazardly as can often happen in a RU-vid video. :) The bokeh in this case is oddly horizontal (versus vertical which is normally the case with anamorphic). Although the Moment tele lens has some interesting almost swirled bokeh (not shown in this video). But getting shallow DOF and seeing the aesthetic of the blur (aka bokeh) with these lenses doesn’t happen easily anyway. The guys who make the Moondog Labs glass are former Kodak engineers, so while we like both lenses, we do think the Mondog is a more pleasing and organic look right out of the box. However, we tend to use our Moment lenses more because of their ecosystem and we also own all their other lenses.
This is not a very good comparison of both lenses because it’s difficult to tell if the differences are related to the lenses themselves or the cameras. The differences between the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 8 cameras are night and day.
Lots of people confusing the 6S with the 6. We shot with a 6s and and 8+. Same size sensor. Very similar cameras. The video images on these are very close. But regardless, we’re looking at lens characteristics, not image quality (and in the end the 6s & Moondog often looks better to us anyway). Thanks for watching.
Have you got the 12.5 mm? I can not find any comparisons to the standard version of Moondog and have no idea if the newer one is the same quality (flares, distortion etc.) Thanks!
We actually just got one recently. Have not tested it yet though, but we are planning to soon and we’ll put out a new video and a follow-up comparison!
Moments lens Flares are razor-sharp, like a cut in the image/pixels, looks really like a mistake hapenned in the clip--- absolutely horrible!..wow!... the moondoglab-lens flares are not as hard edged at all, and look smoother..they simply work!.... also i see Moments lens edges of Frame are soft and blurry and the moondog one is sharp to each edge and corner of the frames. i guess this is what i expected from the beginning: Moondog labs guys are ex Zeiss and Kodak optical engineers, who have been desiging lenses for the Worl leading Lens companies, and bring that to the table here. Whereas MOMENT group is a mere bunch of skateboarders who hire some chinese peopel in China to make a bad clone of a moondoglens. Cant wait to see more oft those comparrisons by other people like Tito Ferradans.
Could you make an tutorial on how to take photo or vids using Moment tele 58mm that isnt sucks.. Moment said their Tele 58mm is one of their best lense but edges has some tons of fridges or purple lining..
We did a video on the 58mm. The 60mm we’ve had issues with in the past, but the 58mm has been solid for us… Watch here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3D8ysxjz2Vs.html
