What 5 Master Primes would most people choose?

[Johan Pabon]

Thanks.
Another question. I guess the Nikkors are still camera lenses? Generally how do still camera lenses stack up against the Cine lens in terms of picture quality?

They are still cameralenses indeed. I'm not an expert, but you can find very nice results with Nikkors on this website. If you need to compromise because of the money I'd choose for more lenses over one perfect lens.

Very nice set.

I would go with the 32mm or 35mm if I could only have one 35mm prime lens. But before buying a single MP I would rather go with a small used set. With the price of a single MP you can find a nice small set if you buy used.

The 135mm is just such a gorgeous lens.By any lens series, wither MKIII's or cooke's. Once you have one you just never stop using it.

I guess you mean for close ups as I can't really see it being used as a single lens or not that much at all in normal production, besides for close ups of course.

Just shot a short - we shot 80mm, 135mm, 200mm. That's about it. Looked pretty cool. That's a "look" though.

Yeah, but it was either all exteriors , sets with movable walls or really large locations. Not really practical as an all around basic set, which is the discussion here.

That's a "look" though.

Oh yeah, very few projects would really benefit from a constant paparazzi feel.

I don't think there are used MPs around.
I got set of three: 14mm, 35mm and 75mm; love 'em.

I naturally did not mean used MPs, but other used 35mm lenses. I would rather have 3 or 4 of them than a single MP.

There is a 85 mm and 135 mm Ultra Prime. Maybe that's what you thought of?

I assumed that Arri did not drop one of the mentioned focal lengths when they introduced the Master Primes as the successor of the Super Speeds. My bad, which outs me of using old fashioned glass.

I really love that selection of lenses. Makes you wonder if the 50 is "overrated" as a standard lens. I much prefer something 35-40ish as a standard for S35.

 

[Evin Grant]

If only one 40mm no question my favorite FL on the Red.

My preference for a five lens set...
16, 27, 40, 65, 100.

But for rental 16/18 25, 35, 50, 75 is probably more appropriate.

I own a set of standars speed Zeiss lenses 16, 24, 32, 40, 50, 85 and 100mm. They rock! but I find the 16, 24 40 and 100 my most used focal lengths.

ARRI Master Primes.

I wonder how much this would cost me... how much are these lenses anyway?

Ask Arri or Abel for a deal quote, but roughly $35k per lens.

I dropped the 25mm and 50mm and just have a set of three: 14mm, 35mm and 75mm, but these were my choices exactly. Beautiful glass!

Wow that is almost double then for the S4

 

[Vladimir Eugene]

more like 25k per lens- except for the 14, and 150 roughly 30k
