@@GamouPlays for this short film I specifically needed something wider than a 28mm to get these shots while also being fast enough to be used lowlight. This way I had a lot of negative space to work with and the DZO Arles satisfied all these conditions. I talk more about it in this review th-cam.com/video/1abF4Cj6478/w-d-xo.html

that'd be a shock! to this day I still don't know what people want, the algorithm eludes me

@@itsjoetorres930 I have some videos on some of the milvus lenses. But be aware lens choice is personal, the singer that works best for my band might not be the best choice for your band. I would choose Milvus 35 because it’s perfect for nearly any situation. For weddings you’ll probably want a 28 or 21mm for those group scenes and getting that context. You may also consider a 50mm or 75mm when you want portraits with the bride and groom

@@cleverghostchili This is exactly the answer I was looking for. I just wasnt sure if to go 25 or 21 for the wide side. I think one thing that isn't talked about enough is how lens choice not just focal length can align with creative vision. 35 and 50 are def on my radar. Just need something for that wide side of things like groups or environment / gimbal for high end venue designs .

tomvadnais.com/?p=1827 I think the 21 is only f2.8, but still more interesting than a 25mm full frame in my opinion even if it’s using an old optical formula. Here’s a link for you to take a look. 25 is faster and sharper

dude you are awesome for this thank you!

This camera is much better now compared to its retail $2500 with no flog2 and video support. However I still recommend the xs20 at half the retail price

Wide open the tokina vistas are adjacent to Zeiss Otus. Where they differ is the Otus is sharper, more contrast with dramatic blur. This makes Otus images pop more screaming that it’s a premium lens with a strong modern look. The Tokinas are much more subtle with a more gradual out of focus transition, which ultimately draw less attention to itself while also being clean. The tokina vista have a more neutral presentation because of less defined edges, which is probably why they’re used for so many docudrama TV series. The Otus could be better for sci-fi where the tokina vista could be better for a documentary maybe period piece. One word to describe each. Tokina - buttery. Otus - crisp.

i use a range of techniques not limited to kaleidoscope, mirror and rosette for each title screen

@ ah nice, so it’s all done in post?

@@DeadGlassEyes sorry you had to discover this video during your mid life crisis

@ lol okay kid. Enjoy the lenses. What you’re saying is just common knowledge.

@@lizlana4200 Zeiss Otus is very sharp, it doesn’t have character but it has personality in the sense that it’s not clinical but looks super modern. I would say if you want more aberrations and optical imperfections you can look at the DZO Arles, I made a video recently about that one, which will be similar and softer like the tokina vista primes which could balance with digital sensors to get a more filmic look. Character preference is subjective, i personally don’t think tokina vistas have a ton of character compared to some other lenses. I think Cooke would be more interesting alternative to the lenses you mentioned

@ Thank you 😊🙏

@@NealJett yes Sigma FP

@@lecanius I have a very short comparison at the toward the end of this video. If you better lowlight and things to look like a modern cinema camera FP will be one of the best considerations for value th-cam.com/video/0r6ViM7kwiQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tlhnZ0B5H3ZvlClM

@@nickkyriakidis can definitely vouch for Laowa, it all depends if you need something a bit faster. Great choice on focal lengths!

They are called colored gel light filters, you can buy them at any arts and crafts store or online like this one amzn.to/49PHzqr just be aware these are meant for small practicals that don't get too hot.

@cleverghostchili Thank you so much!

Your dedicated ghost teacher

@@Kendoleo71 you can also check out the Vimeo link for a better version of this reference! Happy holidays

Doohu gud

I'm not using any particularly brand and you can get these from any arts and crafts store. However you if want a CTO colored gel filter recommendation I can recommend these: amzn.to/49PHzqr just be aware these are meant for small practicals that don't get too hot.

film safely

sometimes budget forces you to go outside the box

@ you did an amazing job🔥

Yes, it was an oversight to not mention melting issues and why I mainly used the thicker plastic sheets, good comment

Yes, these are more for practical lamps, It would have been more responsible to address the melting issue. Thank you.

Gels for the camera definitely work with some colors feeling surreal like orange/red. I’m thinking of Men, Gerald’s Game, Blade runner 2049

What a surprise, thought most people would be turned off by it, must be the experience 😂

yeah I should have just pulled by hand lol, glad you liked it

stay classy

Actually 300 is probably enough to melt these if they’re that close. If you want to be super safe then it place them on the outer edge

always the first Juan

@@donovanjugarapLeica R are warmer and have a softer rendering than the 1.4 milvus but are sharper than ultrawides like this one

@@cleverghostchili hmm interesting i'm trying to get a wide the other thought was the zero d Laowas have you had any experience with these lenses?

Laowa 12mm is great, rectilinear and wide. Lots of real estate people use it, also surprisingly mini LF users. Can recommend that one or the Zeiss milvus. I also made a video with dzo ultrawide recently you can check that out, would probably be a closer match with Leica too

It can work sometimes especially in the cover of darkness, but much trickier in daylight

It’s an awesome perspective, you can definitely go cheaper than the Arles. Spend wisely

Hello, yes it’s because you have the last version of DaVinci resolve, install the version before

@ Thank you ! I’ll try doing this

@@the180degreerule3 this video was made when I didn’t have my thoughts as well put together. I don’t think your final assessment is wrong, but numbers don’t make a story, it’s often the feel and even technical limitations that guide our creative choices

There is a comparison with Otus in the technical section. Also you can check out the long term written review for more comprehensive thoughts

Sigma Mc21 for EF, you can check the description. Stills are acceptable if you don’t mind the faults I mentioned here. Can feel like Sony. Because both Zeiss and sigma have lots of contrast you will get bold images

@@JakeSimpsonVisuals thank you, I hope I can offer a different perspective on image quality than what everyone else is saying

@@Kentbrockmann excited for part 3!

Getting there 😎

18mm would be a lot more fun. But also I’m using a 16:9 sensor so it’s slightly narrower

@cleverghostchili nice! Yeah the video looks great. I'll be shooting on a 16:9 sensor as well the BMPCC 6K Pro

I’m using a full frame sensor

16:9, not fully wide

I meant like s35 or FF. Sorry if I missed it in the video.

@@F1423Films full frame. I have one shot with it s35 in the technical section
