So kind of you, thanks.

One of my favorite KZread channels. I like your content and the way you talk about things. I would be interested in a video talking more in-depth on how you go about shooting B-roll footage.

I'm really not a fan of that yellowish-green, but it's amazing that you can use them across three sensor sizes.

These videos are simply beautiful. Love them. Do you have a review of the follow focus systems or a recommended video?

Thanks for video, in Europe there not available.

I almost bought these after testing them out but ultimately went with the Meike ones using a PL mount on my s5iix. I do feel the NiSi are better though - far cleaner and sharper. Great review as always.

Congrats. As far as I can see, 35mm is around 1200 bucks solo?

These things are cool, prefer them to the DZOs and the like. I’m a 1st AC so I’m comparing them to the big leagues I often work with: Master Primes, Ultra Primes, S7’s, Optimos, etc. considering each of these lenses can be bought for less than the tax of any of the big league lenses, they look exceptional for the price

Thanks for sharing your insight!

I've been looking at them but lack of anything between 50 and 85 is a problem. 85 is just too long. a 65 would really be nice and it's a focal length I use a lot. hopefully they will fill the set out a little more with a 65 to 70 and a 18-20, and maybe something at the long end in 180-200 range.

Honestly, the new lens hypetrain is getting a bit overdone. It's not you, there is a burden of choice right now. I still like the Rokinin Cine DS series when doing a side-by-side price for performance. The issue with the Roks is the size of the lenses with gears lining up, but who cares if you are not constantly swapping and 5 more seconds is not a big deal on a set. I'm shooting interviews, fashion shows and BTS of photoshoots.

After using a ton of each, and the Rokinons since 2011, these really blow those out of the water. I’ve always disliked the plastic cheap Rokinon builds

Hi there 👋🏼 Great video, I subscribed :) One question: Does the low CA also apply to the 35mm and the 25? I heard in other reviews that on those two it is quite substantial. I really find these appealing in every other regard but I just can’t stand CA. Then again, where at this price point is no CA 😅

@markwiemels

2 ай бұрын

I have never noticed it in real world results, but the CA that Caleb Pike talks about in his video is LOCA, which is CA in the out of focus areas with high contrast elements. This is not fringing on the subject/what’s in focus, so it’s tends to be a non-issue. It has had not any impact in any of my real world shooting.

@@markwiemels Thank you for clarifying! I guess I will rent them and do a little bit of testing myself. In the CVP review they also say that there is some clear CA but it vanishes when stopping down to t2.8. But I think I’ve heard that LoCA is better correctable in post (or at all correctable) than lateral CA so I am happy then :) Because for me, even though purple fringing is by far the more irritating kind of CA, I also don’t like to have LoCA in my shots. Thanks again for answering and have a good day :)

😮Would these fit a fuji st2 or a panasonic g6?

The “South Gate” bridge dusk scene, could you elaborate on that? Which lense? Any filters? Camera settings? It’s stunning

All V-log, no filters, not even ND, Phantom LUT's.

Can they be used with the Canon M50 ii with the EF-M mount?

@lionheart4424

Maybe if you get the PL mount and the PL to EF-M adapter.

Mark, could I use the NISI Athena with my A7IV. I know it’s not a cinematic camera. Are they not recommended for hybrids? I really like the 35 & 50mm. Thank you!

@LoremIpsumProd

3 ай бұрын

You can do this. Either with the E mount version or PL with a PL-E adapter. I chose the latter.

@sidvicious3129

3 ай бұрын

Yes, you can use them on your A7iv. If you will only use them on a Sony body, you could buy the e-mount version only. The only problem with this is that you are locked in to just e-mount. If you are unsure if you will use other camera bodies in the future and to help future proof your lens purchase then you would buy the PL mount and buy NISI’s various PL mount adapters. PL mount was pretty much the standard for pro Cine lenses, followed up by EF before Mirrorless came along. NISI sell a PL-E, PL-RF, PL-L, PL-Z, and one for Fuji as well. They also sell these lenses in PL mount with the ability to add a filter in the rear of the lens, and PL mount ARRI style without the ability to add a filter in the rear, like shown in the video.

The fact that they didn’t make an ef mount or PL to ef adapter is beyond ridiculous and makes no logical sense..

@tylerfukuda

PL to EF isn’t really possible due to flange distance. You’d have to completely swap the mount off the camera body. Now Wooden Camera makes a mount adapter for the pocket 6k that you can try if you own a blackmagic.
