  • In this video, I'm testing out a cheaper lens option for filmmakers. This little $80 lens from 7 artisans was actually a delight to use and delivered some pretty nice results!
    Here are some links to the lens and some other lenses that are in the same price range. Obviously, you'll find some cheaper prices on eBay but if you wanna support my channel at all, buying from these links really help!

    I use this lens professionally when I'm trying to create a vintage look. When paired with the original Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, it helps create a beautiful vintage look. Has a lot of character to it. And in this day of 8K video... I'm way more interested in style than sharpness.

    I bought this a few weeks ago for the BMPCC4K and had pretty good results so far. When I first discovered this lens on B&H I wondered what the catch was. So the sharpness is the catch, though I haven't noticed it. Before finding this lens I had unsuccessfully searched for lenses compatible with the BMPCC4K that don't cost as much as an entire new DSLR, mirrorless, or cinema camera body.

  • @grantsutton8727
    @grantsutton8727 4 роки тому

    I have three Kamlan lenses and they are really impressive you should try them out.
    The 50mm f1.1 mk2 is a bokeh beast combined with their 28mm f1.4 and using a high end variable ND on them both for aperture control gives amazing shots.
    Add a mattebox to increase contrast and control flares and you'll get even more beautiful cinematic images.
    In the right hands some of these inexpensive dslr lenses do deliver on character with that needed slight hint of softness found in legacy cine lenses of Hollywood fame.
    Most DP's will tell you that the modern cine lenses lack character, are far to sharp for filming people and have to use filters and lighting tricks to give a more palliative image and that's why some of the older famous cine lenses are selling for huge money if they come on the market.

The a6000 is pretty old and lacks touchscreen, has no mic input and the viewfinder is meh. I stick with Canon for their user experience. The only other system I'd consider is fuji because I love their film simulations. So yeah get the m50. There are some nice affordable efs lenses if you get the adapter.
