I鈥檝e been shooting today with this goddam sexy lens 馃い
Lovely and wide angled.
It鈥檚 part of a set of 5 lenses I鈥檓 using which belongs to my pal Tom from Summit Visions - video production.
This is his job I鈥檓 shooting on, and I鈥檓 second camera op for the day!
His full set of primes are 14, 24, 35, 50 and 85mm.
I鈥檝e never shot with these kind of cinema primes before, and they鈥檙e beautiful.
Heavy, well made, all even in size and weight with a super smooth focus ring 馃槏
The images they shoot are gorgeous. Quite different to the usual L series Canon photography lenses I use day-to-day for my video work.
It鈥檚 a great system meaning I can manually focus using my index finger on a controller wheel on the Ronin-2 handle.
Tom is well kitted out for the jobs he does.
My mind is on a massive kit overhaul in the coming 6 months... and I鈥檝e now got my eye on some lenses like these.
BUT things can get expensive very quickly in this ind- but it鈥檚 worth it when you can make you鈥檙e money back pretty quickly through working with them.
I guess I need to consider kit as an investment more than anything else..
(I reckon @distantsignal has lots of experience in this world of cinema lenses!)
