    Magnificent. The skating was beautiful. Lenses looked good, but not sure I'd stop using my non-cine lenses. I just didn't see enough of a difference to change my mind. But the skating was brilliant. Very talented, especially while dealing with someone skating around her with a camera. She always had her eyes on the lens while doing crazy tricks. Just... bravo. Another great VJUS video.
    Edit: Just got to the Northbound part, which is my companies name! Haha, love that. (Note: This is not a shoot for us, just thought the coincidence was fun)

    I have 4 Meike MFT cines for my P4K and they're incredible for the money. Recently I bought a Zeiss Milvus 50mm superspeed (f1.4) with the view to moving over to them. I love the Zeiss look and I will be able to use them on any future camera I get (maybe an URSA etc) but I'm still impressed with how easy and well made the Meikes are and how good the image is for the money...

Inly problem I have is the focus-ring do not stop completely, it has some resistance at the end, but you ca nstill move it. Not so good for my follow-focus, but that is the only complaint :-)

    So the most lovely focus / aperture rings that you will never touch because these lenses will mostly be used with moterized controls hahaha. I totally get it though Andy. The first time you go from a plastic kit lens to a nicely oiled metal one. I went from my 14-42 lumix lens to a asahi pentax 50mm and the quality of that vintage metal lens was just stunning.

      I’m in the process of transitioning to full time Cine lenses. Manual focus on a Cine lenses will make you abandon any autofocus system ie canon and Sony included.
      When you have a client watching your shoot from a distance, the least thing you want is autofocus jumping here and there. It’s simply unprofessional and personally, I hate explaining to clients and having to redo scenes because of autofocus

    • @CanditoTrainingHQ
      @CanditoTrainingHQ Před 2 lety

      Exactly what I was thinking. To me it seems like an excuse for the Meke lens losing information. You can always reduce saturation in post, but you can't add real information that was lost as accurately. There is no such thing as a lens with too much saturation.

    • @JasperNebelsieck
      @JasperNebelsieck Před 2 lety +1

      If you're recording in a decent codec you can always adjust the temperature later. So in my opinion it's not as important as the level of details or contrast. But still, it's really nice to get it the way you want in camera.

    In our studio, in Frankfurt, Germany, we either work with the DZOfilm or Tokina cine zooms, depending on how much character we want in our image. I really like the image and the precise controls, but when we bought them I totally underestimated the weight factor - so we end up using stills lenses (Sigma Art Zooms) very often since we mostly shoot with a small crew. If anybody here is thinking about investing in cine lenses, I would strongly suggest thinking about this factor.
    I know that most people (definitely I would count myself as one of them) are biased towards more professional looking gear, even though, they work on projects where this kind of gear hinders them to get the best results: please carefully this about investing in this kind of equipment. Love U!
