master prime vs supreme prime

[francisco santos]

Hey Redguru's
So recently I have been upping my gear and im kind of torn between two lens sets either Master Primes or Supreme Primes. Has anyone done a side by side? I konw the Master Primes have shot on them 100x's love them. But here comes the supreme lens which work wonders on the LF cameras. I own a couple minis and am mainly a owner/op with gear. Any insight from people who have shot on both would be great! Looking to make the purchase in the next few days. Im leaning towards the supreme but hate the fact the wides won't be out until 2020.

Thanks in Advance,
Francisco

I own a few master primes and just bought a 35mm supreme to round out my working lens package. Each have their own distinct advantage and look which is open to your interpretation. I think the real questions are what kind of work are you doing and what needs do you have? I’d also consider that the supreme primes are closer in weight and build to ultras which are workhorse lenses and rarely need servicing. The 75mm and longer masters already cover ff so that will help to future proof them.

Hard choice to make but if i was absolutely pressed to pick which i prefer i would go with master primes. We all know and love the t1.3, cam focus and razor sharp performance without losing contrast.

Just my opinion and both are amazing.

In my opinion the supremes are softer than master primes. They are lighter and more friendly to work due to its size. I have one vintage supreme prime set from gecko, I would love to see one like this but 25ih master primes based glass.
