Absolutely LOVE the grade you have for the footage for sunset/blue hour. Really really incredible work!

@EdProsser 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Charlie, yeah it came out nice. Blue hour really is the perfect time of day to shoot, really balanced exposure and gorgeous diffuse light.

@EdProsser 11 месяцев назад

Yeah, can't really complain at this price point - but they're definitely not super consistent across the set, still very impressive little lenses though!

This is the best color timed review of the Nightwalkers so far. Colors are outstanding

@EdProsser 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for checking it out Jimbo! Yeah I was happy with how it turned out, got lucky with the weather and a really long sunny day. Amazingly shot this using only the tiny monitor on the Komodo which I'm getting more used to relying on for shooting low profile RU-vid stuff.

@EdProsser 7 месяцев назад

Good stuff they're nice lenses and once you stop down a bit they clean up really well. Used them in a professional gig a few weeks back and they cut in with the DZOFilm Vespids well

Thanks have a vid on the new focal lengths - 16mm and 75mm coming very soon

@Djangounframed 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video dude. Good, grass roots, real person style presentation. It’s refreshing to finally hear somebody say it’s ok for a lens to not be perfect. For me, it’s often the idiosyncrasies that create the character.

@EdProsser 6 месяцев назад

Exactly. I think because many probably came up through using DSLRs where lenses were traditionally marketed on their sharpness and cleaness - there is this prevailing myth that that is the pinnacle of lens design. But we're seeing a move away from that now because everyone wants "cinematic" so that's become the new marketing push

@DavidPalmer_blinder 11 месяцев назад

I primarily shoot with the bmpcc 6k g2, 4k and the OG, and the idea of having a really interesting 24mm prime at T1.2 is interesting, but my problem is, for the OG and 4k I use the Lumix 12-35mm (MFT) and I have to say it's very difficult to find a lens that is more versatile than that one. Add a black mist filter and a CPL/ND filter and there is just very little that I can't feel confident about shooting. Not to mention in that setup on the 4k and OG the heaviest thing literally is the NPF battery. But that 24mm is still super interesting. Nice review by the way, your footage, as usual is top notch!

@EdProsser 11 месяцев назад

I remember that lens! Think it was probably one of the first lenses I ever bought myself for my ol' GH4 - it was great! I think the benefit of cine style lenses is their manual focus rings are much better to work with than the smaller / electronic focus rings on stills lenses. I also prefer to control my aperture manually.

@storybydanehav 11 месяцев назад

I'm so intrigued by these lenses, just like you to use them on my Komodo. I already have a set of Meike FF primes so I really don't need them, but since when did that stop me anyway?! :) Thanks for a great review!

@EdProsser 11 месяцев назад

Yeah I think you're gonna be hard press to get anything better at this price point, and even then these are really hitting above their price point. Similar to you, I have a set of Vespids, but I can see these being more convenient a lot of the time due to their small form factor and no need for adapters.

@storybydanehav 11 месяцев назад

@@EdProsser I agree, that is exactly my thoughts too. Making the camera smaller and lighter could be a huge benefit sometimes. I hate it everytime I decide to use my Canon RF glass on the komodo (always for packing reasons), because it's too clean, even with mist filters on it gives that digital look. This miiight be the solution. But I also know it's that buying new gear sub personality making justifications now haha.

@EdProsser 11 месяцев назад

You could pick one up and see how you go! But if you already have the Meike then probably not a huge differentiation

@storybydanehav 11 месяцев назад

@@EdProsser I might just pick up the 24mm and have it in my "small and fun lenses"-collection together with the Helios 44-2 and some other random stuff. And then maybe it might advance itself out of that box and gets some friends :)

@davidhawkeye2298 2 месяца назад

Thanks Ed. I've just ordered a set, and look forward to trying them. Since your video was made Siri have released a16mm and 75mm as you no doubt know. A very balanced review and great video. I love the look, and it is perfectly suited to your subject matter, The Clinical look has its place of course., but people are softer and these lenses help one see the people rather than the pores in their skin, which is unnatural and disturbing, I find.

@EdProsser 2 месяца назад

Thanks David! Yes I have the 16 and 75 should have a vid out in then soon. They're great

@davidhawkeye2298 2 месяца назад

@@EdProsser I look forward to seeing that ! It will be interesting to see how the Sirius lenses work with the DJI focus pro that I’m waiting on delivery . It should nail focus regardless of aperture and using a lens at T1.2 with LiDAR opens up a lot of creative possibilities, I imagine?

@haulfilms 11 месяцев назад

@sittingnow 10 месяцев назад

On the Komodo if you’re shooting 6k the crop is 1.33 so your ff equiv is more like. 32, 46 and 73 which is still quite nice

@@EdProsser yeah a 16 would be good, i’m curious how they kept the lenses so compact, i wonder if they have floating elements like the FD L 1.2’s?

Actually floating element’s the wrong term the rear element is fixed into the lens mount.

@georgeadey9063 11 месяцев назад

Hi Ed, love the channel. Would there be any negatives to buying one of these lenses and then using an adaptor for use on a Lumix S5?

@EdProsser 11 месяцев назад

Unfortunately that wouldn't work - these are Super 35 / APS-C lenses and the flange distance would match, if you used an adapter it would extend the lens too far forward. You'd have to remove the existing mount and re-fit with l-mount. Event after that you wouldn't be able to shoot in full frame on the camera.

@fatherfigureproductions 7 дней назад

How much grading was done here. Looks very vintage and i like that but curious how much was straight out of lens?

@AugustDreams-ek3xo 11 месяцев назад

Cool but I wish you would have done more night scenes with them.

@EdProsser 11 месяцев назад

Shooting at night would mean lighting, probably gross street lighting or bringing my own. Filming at blue hour where you have a small amount of natural light felt like a good test for them.

@SeabornProductions 11 месяцев назад

I think this is a case where the camera is outrunning the lens

@EdProsser 11 месяцев назад

How do you mean? I don't think they make the Komodo look bad - and the fact that they're so small and cheap will likely lend themselves to a lot of environments where you might be using the Komodo as a crash cam (not me!) - or where you want a small footprint. Like I also mention - some people might have burnt up all their budget on their camera system and need some affordable lenses to get them going - I don't think you can go wrong with these!
