Best macro for red

[Vico Martin]

Hi all,

We begin the production of a commercial for Mercedes (cars) in a couple of days, will be a lot of shoots of textures with really close distance.

I have doubts about the choose of the lenses

Arrimacro, Vantage, Leica???

Anybody with experience with macros,
Thanks in advance.

I've used the Arri macros, particularly the 200mm, with very good results. Not fast though at T4.3...

HTH,
Dom.

The Leica 100mm f2.8 is superb and its the macro lens which all others are compared for stills work, there are some rehoused in PL mount by Van Diemen and others. The 60mm is also very good.
