Zeiss zF question(s)

[albert rudnicki]

It's a standard full frame nikon ED zoom.
AF Nikkor 80-200mm 1:2.8 D
It's the last in this series that has manual aperture ring
You can get a used one for around $1000.
Cheers

Oh thanks man!
One more question though...combining a zeiss zf lens with a Nikon lens within the same video?
doesn't it create a difference in terms of sharpness or any difference texturewise? I mean is the difference visible?

Hi Albert!
thanks for the reply...I've posted another question that I'm curious in the same
thread...I wonder about your thoughts on the idea of combining two different sets of lenses in the same video...is the difference visible for you?
I mean i didn't understand it when I first saw it...

thanks in advance...

i haven't done it myself, but it wasn't noticeable in albert's footage and he was mixing these very lenses. the zeiss lenses are color matched, so there might be some kind of sight color difference between the ZF's and the nikons, but you could easily fix that in post.

I Agree with Gary
I find the 80-200 is well complementing the zeiss 85.
With Red raw you will not have a problem grading your stuff. The main visible difference between those two lenses is color temperature.
Zeiss feels a bit colder, it's so tiny that you will not notice it most of the time.

The sequence with the kid and slingshot is mixed with both lenses.
Close up on hands is shot with 85mm Zeiss
The window reflection is done with 80-200 nikon.
Same color grade is applied on both (final cut)

If I have time tomorrow I'll take identical picture with both lenses to show the difference.
