Multi-brand 50mm cine Lens comparison

[ALLSTAR]

Hi guys,
We made this video to compare with multi-brand 50mm cine Lenses. Please let me know which lens is your favor from A~G, thank you.
Each lens has two take, the first is T 2.0 and the second is T 4.0
Update RG4/DragonColor(1):

E, like the nice flares and bokeh

do you have sigma in there?

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your reply, I can`t leak out anything now.

Any chance you can re-run the tests with RWG/Log3G10? The DC2/RG4 is so distracting...

 

[Patrick Tresch]

C Celere HS ;-)

PS: DragonColor 2 is distracting (DragonColor could do the trick or RWG)

 

[Remington Chase]

Blind test are great. For me the clothing on the girl is distracting, it's hard to get a sense of flesh tones without nudity.

 

[ALLSTAR]

So, which gamma/color space do you prefer?

 

[David Mullen ASC]

I wonder if B is the Leica Summilux-C -- I just used them for a series and they were quite prone to getting that multi-point star effect with small bright lights...

 

[Les Hillis]

So, which gamma/color space do you prefer?

I think they're referring to the way bright colours can clip unnaturally when using DragonColor2, and perhaps also to how much contrast there is with RedGamma4.

DragonColor(1) would be preferred, even with RedGamma4.

If you can use the new IPP2 settings, RWG/Log3G10 with 'Medium Contrast' and 'Medium Highlight Roll-Off' would probably look more neutral.

Interesting test by the way, some nice looking lenses in there. Thanks for sharing.

Your update didn't adjust the obscuring layers properly. In the scene shot you need to obscure the lens data with the big rectangle, but don't obscure the model with the little square. In the chart shot you need to obscure the lens data with the little square and not obscure the fine center resolution with the big rectangle. You left the obscuring boxes on for both, which obscures valid image data, not only lens identification.

Celeres have also this star effect on bright reflections. Are the iris blades making this kind of Star effects?

The number of star points corresponds to the number of iris blades, but I don't know if it's the actual blades themselves causing the effect. Have seen the same thing on some Leica-M lenses as well.


Tom, couldn't really pick a favourite lens from that test, I thought they all looked good more or less.

 

[R. Gonzales]

I liked C. A lot less breathing. E was ok too.

 

[Mathias Erichsen]

I like B and D
Thank you for doing a test like this. Looking forward to see what is what..

 

[Bob Gundu]

Bokehlux is definitely the first one.

did I miss something? Why were the answers never posted?
