Are Cine Lenses Better Than Photography Lenses?

I have never found a satisfying answer to this question. Today I go over the main reasons cine lenses are useful and then I show a comparison of still vs cine lenses. Now you can decide for yourself if they are the right tool for your next project! Enjoy!

Cine lenses aren't supposed to be sharper. They're often purposefully softer than photo lenses.

Great work dude! Those zeiss CP3’s are great! I rented them earlier in the year and loved working with them.

I was close except the last few A Bs where I got a bit lost. In most of the comparisons the Cine lense had a different vibe/soul which I prefered. Although the last shot of the girl on the bed had a great feel about it.

So basically this video shows your fine with a photo lens. CONS you are sacrificing comfort for the price of a cine lens

I actually prefer working with cine lenses now days! I think certain still lenses are fine for certain projects but most of the work I do now I need specific characteristics of different brands of cine lenses. Just wanted to throw out a side by side video on this, hope you enjoyed!
