If you only had £1000 budget for new lenses and you're starting with nothing, what are you picking? *EDIT* I noticed an error with the audio at around 2:25 , sorry about that! Ya boi got a lot of videos on the go at the moment....
A YT day is desperately needed dude! Feels like it's been forever! I've actually got the FP-L, so the higher resolution version, and so far I really like it!
I feel you didn't really do justice by really testing out this lens, all the shots you showed with the lens are indoor shots. Some outdoor shots would have really given us a perspective of what this lens has to offer.
I agree, I can only apologise! I wanted to spend more time getting as much footage with these lenses as I could, but recently I’ve been on such a tight schedule with client work and other RU-vid videos that have deadlines, so I didn’t explore as much as I could have in this video. Maybe in the future when the time is there I’ll revisit and give some more examples:)
I quite like the grey colour, just something a bit different innit! I think we're spoiled for choice at the moment with lens choices on L mount its great
I simply very rationally practically long term thinking do not invest in lenses that are not full frame for cine work. No mather prices it is getting too complicated in my workflow with many new camera’s coming and switching all the time. To be flexible I choose Nikkor mount vintage and PL mount cine lenses only. Always full frame or medium format. Lenses are for a long term if you love them and like them. You get to know the use and character better every production and I dare to say I have a personal relation with some, knowing there strength and limitations. Have a nice day!
Prime lens are my fave. I do get haveing a zoom lens does have its benefits but alwats think zooms are more for photography. Of zoom can be used for video but find that normally someone is using just one focal length at a time. The 35mm 1.8 is always on my camera. Even bought the sigma 16mm 1.4 for the GH5 just so i can get close to 35mm.
I’ve noticed a big a very concerning problem with this brand, suddenly 90% of their products have vanished off of Amazon!. They had the Saturn lenses etc etc all fulfilled by Amazon. But suddenly now they’ve all gone literally taken off the site. So I wonder if they’re about to go bust!.
