    Good set of lenses. I have a mini collection too, but due to time and budget and my full frame DSLR, I keep the set small, cheap and practical. I have a 28 f2.8 (which many people tend to overlook because it doesn't have the 'Hollywood' nickname, but is actually sharper and just as pleasant as the F2 version), the 50 f1.7, which is rumoured to be T rated at f1.5 and is the sharpest lens I own and the f135 f2.8, which is a great great lens.

    Just all depends on how you like to shoot. all three of those wide focal lengths are drastically different. The wider you go, every little mm is quite different. Whereas on the tighter end, its not as noticeable in terms of performance.

    I like the 2.35-2.66:1 Anamorphic look. That's the look I grew up watching and nothing else looks quite like it. I'm currently working on my anamorphic lens line up. Because they're cumbersome I'm just trying to get two identical rigs with two different focal lengths. That way I can swap between them from shot to show. Lens swapping takes too much time and it has to be scheduled. I too prefer to shoot wide too with my favorite being a 40mm 2x anamorphic. So 40mm compression/bokeh and 20mm equivalent wide. Well not quite 20mm with the BMPCC4k and the SB XL crop.

    Hello @Justin Phillip I don’t know if I’m asking this correctly but.. I aspire to shoot films my favorite lengths are 24mm 35mm 50mm and I’m getting the BMPCC4k as my next camera so to achieve that in the best possible way with little to no vignette on the lens should I buy the 0.71 or 0.64 adapter? And should the 0.71 be used with aps-c and the 0.64 with full frame only? because I don’t only want to own zoom lenses like the sigma 18-35mm aps-c lens. I want set prime lenses that are one length..for example a 35mm which was the only lens used to shoot call me by your name one of my favorites films/aesthetics..so I want to know with which booster will I get me closer that or the best results obviously keeping in mind the crop factor of the 4k which like you said 1.35x with the 0.71 and about 1.2 with the 0.64

  • @JustinPhillip

    @JustinPhillip

    3 жыл бұрын

    If you plan on using aps-c lenses as well, safe bet is to go with the Ultra. But if you’re planning on using only full frame lenses like the Zeiss, then XL will get you closer to the full frame look.

    Have you noticed any sharpness issues when using the Contaxes on the Metabones EF-MFT XL Speed Booster? I'm trying to figure out whether to buy a used EF-MFT XL for 400eur or a new EF-BMPCC4k XL Speed Booster for 800eur. 😅 My set is fairly slow with 18mm f4, 28-85mm f3.3-4, 50mm f1.7 and 80-200mm f4 so the 1.33 stops of extra light would definitely come in handy.

    your best bet is to just get the metabones speedbooster thats C/Y to MFT. Because you dont want to be stacking adapters. Thats why i hard converted all mine to EF, but yea, theres no going back. The C/Y metabones is nice, i used to own it. Or if you have the P6K, theres plenty of good C/Y to EF adapters for cheap, Fotodiox is a good brand.

    Speaking of the 18mm, combined with the Metabones Ultra, the f/4 I don't think is too much of a deal breaker because the MB gives an extra stop of light, bringing it to f/2.8, which I think is fairly reasonable. I aim to pick it up for my wide when I have the chance.

    Hello! I just started to get into cinematography, I always loved it; having only an old Nikon D7000 I decided to buy the BM4K. I build it up very well. A nice efficient rig, a gimbal, but the only problem I see is whether I should go with EF lenses or stick with MFT. Having no such lenses, at all, I see myself at a crossroad. My objective is to shoot and create documentaries and reportages; my question for you is: should I invest in a metabones and build the camera with EF lenses, or stick with the native sensor? Thank you for your videos. They are helping me, along side everything else I can catch, to become what I aspire to and would love to do.

    I picked up a mint 50mm 1.4 MMJ on a contax 159mm for 100 bucks. My early Pentax K 50mm 1.4 is sharper wide open, and tends to have less CA but I still tend to favor the Zeiss for some reason lol

    In S-35 u can start with mini set of 3 lenses : 28 mm - 35 mm - 50 mm. But for some shoots or entire project, u will like to grab whether a wide angle, whether a tele, that's understandable. 28 mm has a special relationship with S-35 : the strange story is that photographic FF equivalent (almost) doesn't exist. Ever seen ur dad grabbing a 42 mm ? By the way, I encourage u to look at a 1928 masterpiece called : The Man Who Laughs. The main character is the ancestor of the Joker, I mean, mainly the DC Comics & C. Nolan legacy. I think the entire film is shoot with only one focal length. Justin might tell us which one he thinks it is.

    I love the 30mm and 50mm plus really wide like 16-24mm. But overall I think the 30mm wins with the 50mm literally right there behind it. But this is on the bmpcc 4k the the metabones ultra so it's more like a super 35. I went nikon with the speedbooster and they're great lenses. Ive found that nikon quality is pretty damn good and not just optics. Their build quality is very good too. Probably get the zonghyi canon speedbooster so I can adapt other lenses like my om mounts I got for free.

    @@weightlessfilms5651 well, it's probably just a Contax Zeiss thing, but i have the ultra as well, but not the cine version, so you have to twist the lens on, and the electronics inside the SB are not back far enough, and the pin, there's one that you're not supposed to cut off the contax, it would hit that little electrics, and prevent me from using the aperture, just on the AEG contax zeiss, so a good solution is using the cine lock version, which i upgraded to, and now it works, because you dont have to twist the lens on, you just set it in and lock it, like a PL Mount. But i suggested that to you, because i dont know too much about FD's.

    Great video. I think the biggest factor in the look of the image of a lens is the formula of the optical glass. The coating is not as much of a factor. If you look at ancient Cooke Speed Panchros from the 50's they are super simple designs and single coated, yet they render some of the most colorful, beautiful images ever. The Cooke Look is so amazing, yet no one has been able to duplicate it. Cooks optical glass formulas date back to the 1920s. Leica lenses are not complex designs either, yet they have their own magic. I read a paper once on the special optical glass formulas for Leica lenses. Schott makes the glass for Leica, but can only use the specific formula for Leica. So the magic is in the ingredients of the optical glass. The proof is in the pudding rings true. Cheers!

    I hope you rented these and not bought them. You can do the same job in narrative work with a BMPCC 4k, a speedbooster ($150) and a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 ($160). You don't need primes if your zoom has a constant aperture (that gets more light with the help of the speedbooster). Sure, it won't be as sharp as Zeiss, but if you're really trying to emulate film, then you don't want sharp. In the film days, sharp Zeiss lenses were a must-have because film is very soft (35mm barely has the resolution of 1080p, if that). Today, with 4k+ digital, you want softer lenses. You have the opposite problem, essentially. I own lots of lenses, but I now mostly use that Tamron, and if I really want a sharper prime lens, I just use the new Laowa 17mm f/1.8 ($150). No need for anything else for narratives. Now, for documentary or commercial work, or some high end music videos, you might need sharper, better lenses. But for narratives, where the film soft look is imperative (IMHO), the Tamron does the job perfectly.

    Eugenia Loli You can achieve the soft look with filtration and still have a super versatile prime set thats also sharp for corporate work and higher end stuff as well. I think every filmmaker should own a custom set of primes. Zooms, imo, are for doc and live event work.

Plus, I absolutely hate how pro mist and such filters "bloom" the highlights. A *modern* constant aperture zoom lens is equivalent to the primes they had the old days. And since I'm not after sharpness, such a zoom really works for narratives for me.

You are talking to fast...this is the first mistake in videos. If a narator is speaking to fast the audience loses interest(me and my friends did lose interest here). Second of all you are diging in to much details(we all lose interest again). And this is coming from a photographer specialized in studio(beauty) @zahaphoto, teaching advanced studio photography and went back in the days trough Arts Univeristy, studied 3 year film and cinematography. No hate, but I think that you take in to account what I said you will gain subs super fast...keep up the good work out there. Cheers man.
