    The Zeiss lenses are great! I have the 35mm 2.4 too and it has a good sharpness at f2.4. These are original Zeiss lenses made in the former GDR. So they are technically real Zeiss lenses. There also was another Carl Zeiss factory in West Germany after the 2.World War, where for example the Planar lenses or the lenses for the Contax cameras were built. After the cold war the two Zeiss companies were reunited.

  • @Babsdoproductions

    That’s tough, I’ve been slowly getting Zeiss lenses both Jena and Classics/Contax and they’re really competitive with modern options. I don’t think you could go wrong either way but it depends how you shoot, like you said you wanted more wide options and the newer Zeiss lenses are the way to go there but there is a point of the vintage funk of the Jenas. Good luck with that decision but good on you for starting out with some of the best vintage lens options and for great deals too! Personally, I’m looking at getting a set of ZF.2s but potentially mixing with some of the newer Milvus line for lenses that really benefited from the updates, however, it just depends as I could save up and go full Milvus to keep things simple, we’ll see.

    had the same experience with recording BRAW where it just felt like the highlights were horrible - but realized you have to expose differently for BRAW and started using false color on the video assist and I was surprised to see how much the highlights were clipping even when they looked alright on the monitor - so I exposed to the highlights and I actually am really loving the image that's coming out of it - FLOG2 is still great but for anyone looking to use BRAW, this was something I found interesting

    Amazing video, like always! I’m just very curious as why you changed your BMPCC for the Fuji. I got a BMPCC for the RAW recording. But I’m temped by the XH2S (and the 15 Stops in Flog2) - I have a XT3 and have shot some beautiful things. Big fan of Fuji. Might switch back. Would love to know about what made you decide to get rid of the BMPCC.

  • @nosatori
    @nosatori Před 9 měsíci +1

    Great video with so many good ideas! One question: Do you ever use a gimbal? I’m a still photographer just expanding into video using XH2 and XH2s and I’m blown away by your steady footage with the handle-based rig. I’ve also built one and for me it’s a very slow learning process trying to get steady footage from it.
