    We preodered the S5iix and after watching a bunch of videos about these Catta lenses, this video definitely convinced us to get the two of them. The bokeh is stunning and there is virtually no breathing. Amazing lighting and color grade for the short film scenes btw! Would love to see your workflow on that!

      When everyone starts shooting the same way it kind of ruins any intention of using it to be "unique." Reminds me of when everyone and their auntie said you need a mist filter to look like film. People like to use Cooke's for a certain look, but Arri Master Primes are also popular. Use whatever tool fits the job, don't just hop on the "cinematic" bandwagon. Might as well just make everything teal and orange eventually

    I've been wanting their MFT parfocal zooms, but as I'm still using the GH5, I opted for lenses with a wider aperture for better low light performance.
    With a manual zoom lens, do you disable sensor stabilization so you can freely zoom or do you have some other way of dealing with it?

Alternatively, I would be interested in 5 choice cine lenses from $500 up to $2500 for Full-Frame L Mount cameras, as reference.

      I’ve always gravitated towards 24-70 lenses and they’re all F2.8 it’s never been an issue for me. Even when we shot our short film it never was an issue. Cameras nowadays have higher ISO levels like my FX3 which goes to 12,800 as a native ISO level I’d have to use ND just to expose properly.

    Fujinon has a rf and e mount 1855 cine lense that is light 1.1kg and was used in Avatar 2, so i really wonder how that compares to the best that our Chinese company provides, which is better. DZO is known for quality and the option of PL is a really nice touch, but Fujinon is some of the best cine lense manufacture today and their 1855 cine is not that far off in terms of price, and that is 500g lighter which is great for handheld as well as on gimble
