  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

The best use of $3000...

yeah yeah ketch.. let us take a look and show it..
 
from the zeiss department:
"Dear Sir,

Thank you for your inquiry and interest in our products.

As an actual fact, we are planning to expand the ZF series in the wide angle lens area but have not
a concrete date yet.


Best regards

I know much talk and no show, but I'm working on 3 different projects in various stages of development.

And to topped off I just listed all my video gear on DVXuser, XH-A1, M2 system, Cavision matte box, manfrotto tripod system, and DTE for XL-H1

But I still have the ZEISS, so something to post soon, me or Matt, to hum I'm lending for a few days.
Ciao,

Argh! You had to post that!? I was so ready to go Zeiss!:waaa:

<---- likes to film wide

Guess I'll have to go with a Nikon zoom set or *gulp* look at the RED lenses...:sick:

Yeah, I'd love it if the Zeiss ZF lens set included something in the 14mm to 17mm range. It's the only part of the "typical" cinema range that's not covered by them yet.

Nikon does make the 14mm f2.8 lens, for around $1400. If Zeiss hasn't come out with their own version by the time I'm buying lenses, I'll have to go with the Nikon one. I need me some wideness!!!!!
 
why not a mix between zooms.. canon or nikon.. where you can have the widest end.. and these zeiss ones for shallow DOF?

I don't think swapping out mounts in the field is going to be as easy and practical as some speculate.
 
so, buy the birger canon mount.. plus a nikon to canon adapter and you should be fine.. best way in my humble opinion..
 
Nice, love le litlle tune,

Thanks for geting orround on doing some test with this lenses.

After tonight's shoot let me know if you like the extended focusing area of this lenses and the solid feel to it, but mostly the color corrected images they produce.

Believe your test was done with your pana+SgPro.

Yes, test was shot on my hvx+sgpro combo. Not cc'ed or anything because i'm just looking at the breathing.
the 25 had a 360° turn i think but a lot of that was macro it seemed.
I'm definitely looking forward to shooting still with these.
 
Hi Evin,

this lenses are great ones, the 85mm, my favorite (almost as the 100mm Macro) but to trully see any differences in comparason we should definately get together with the same focal lents and speed in the 3 brands most interest me, Nikor, Canon L and Zeiss ZF.

I'm in list for the new 1Ds Mark III, so I like to have the best lens for this monster of a machine.

As far as for RED I love to see a Master Prime, Cooke and RED compared with the above slr lenses, knoing that you can only cover 35mm & not s35 with the SLR lenses.

why wouldn't slr lenses cover s35?

why wouldn't slr lenses cover s35?

s35 is 24.89 mm × 18.66 = 31.11 diagonal
slr is 36 x 24 = 43.26 diagonal

The only problem might be with EF-S (or Nikon DX) lenses
APS-C dslr (canon eos 40d) is 22.2 x 14.8mm
 
See, this was exactly what I told the guys at Canon, but prbably they miss understood my question or I miss understood there answer.

Please to know it is not the case, I sure hope to get Motion Picture Lenses for my RED's but at list I have solid choices of smaller wayyy cheaper good lenses.

I love what you do, leaved in Cancun, Cabo and Costa Smeralda Italy, great waters great photographic locations, almost forgaten( Isla Mujeres)
