Got some bad barrel distortion there. Sorry man but not digging the flares either. Matter of fact its probably because of the small FOV of the lens. you can see the literal curve of the lens flare, not my preferred.

Some nasty vignetting too - not sure I would show that unless someone specifically asked for flares, and if so shoot at a resolution the lens covered - don't think most situations would see the vignetting as a positive.

Which focal length were you using? Just wondering as I am hoping to use some Super speed mk ii on a shoot soon, and wondering about the coverage. Any more details would be appreciated. Thanks.

Phil's got it covered I think. I'll have to go in and test the lenses.

Footage was shot with a full set of Zeiss Super Speeds MKI (18,25,35,50,85) at 5K WS. The vignette was from the mattebox, not the lenses inability to cover the sensor.

Marcus, what matters most is what you like. If you found something you like, such as the flares, then go for it!

Thank you for sharing.

Unique flare quality - wouldn't be right for every project but I thought it worked nicely with the landscape.

Marcus, sick work dude. Looks like it was a fun little shoot.

 

[Marcus Guider]

Thanks Stacy! The flares are identifiable, but unique and cool nonetheless.

Not a technique for every project, but worked cool with this particular location.

Thanks Daniel!

My sentiment exactly!

Absolutely Josef! Very low-key shoot, in which we decided to take advantage of the morning sun, natural fog, and the bikers availability.
