Chris really came in clutch with his reviews. i've been watching his reviews ever since my family bought our first DSLR, the Canon 750D so it's almost a decade for me lol.
What strange lenses. They have tally lights and a 0.8 pitch gear ring... But no hard focus stops, no dedicated aperture ring, and the same optics as the standard photography versions.
@@DiminishingAugmentation seriously. They would have been better off upgrading their cine line with some more electronic controls rather than half bake cine lens features into their stills lenses.
The answer to your confusion just got released- a front attachment that converts them to have a geared manual focus ring with hard stops and a 95mm front, your regular focus ring then becomes an aperture ring
Maybe the front connection could be useful for an add on anamorphic lens. Perhaps it could allow the two parts to focus in tandem. One of the difficulties of a manual two lens anamorphic setup. This would also go along with them being a sort of cine style lens set, and allow you to use one anamorphic adapter for all three [later five] lenses.
I see that you tested the 100mm lenses also but I don’t see a review of the 45mm that came out a couple months prior. Would it be possible to see a review of that lens?
Thanks so much Chris. The chromatic aberrations shooting wide open with the 35mm is a real shame, as that's the entire point of the lens for me. Valuable review.
Someone needs to come up with a way to record focussing data with video a bit like how gyro data is recorded with video. If there was data constantly being recorded about the focussing on each frame then NLE could compensate for focus breathing on any lens.
Man, I really wish they had made the 35 first and based the rest around the form factor that would give the 35 no or the least possible focus breathing. The 35mm's focus breathing is a non starter. On the 24 and 75 I would have tolerated it, but they would have had less because they built around the middle lens.
Hopefully the 35mm was a dud. I actually love the idea of these lenses, any onemanband shooting on a gimbal looking for something compact will love this. Hopefully the breathing can be fixed with software (maybe it can use sony's existing software?)
WOW i hope these lenses don't cost more than $50 each because the optical performance leaves a lot to be desired. I shoot a lot with vintage glass and the samples I'm seeing remind me a lot of vintage glass from the late 80's. So I guess if you're looking for a vintage-ish look these might be interesting. Thumbs up on the video.
Interesting set, but honestly the loca on these lenses are absolutely terrible. These are marketed as "cine" towards vloggers, but should not be taken as serious workhorses.
gimmick lenses. not cine at all. bad focus breathing, no aperture ring and im not those are af/mf switches. forcing a specific lens design into a pre determine size shape and weight for all lenses from 18-75 is stupid as hell. terrible fringing too. waste of money
