To no surprise Cookes looks much better in out of focus rendition - especially in the cafe shot, despite they are T2.4 compared to T1.5 on Arles. Overcorrected bokeh on Cookes looks so much more interesting and pleasing. Overall Arles are decent for the price, have SOME CA, but not too distracting (I have a 35mm Arles and say it not from those samples but from my own experience). But when people are saying that Arles lean toward warmer tones I wasn't expecting this much compared to Cookes. The trees in the cafe shots even start to look brownish in the BG on the first shot, while on Cookes the are bright green. I haven't done a lot of shoots on Arles yet, but see some things I've already experienced here.
I wasn't expecting to like the arles more at 2.4 vs 2.8. The color shift is pretty apparent though. I know the Arles is pretty warm, do you think the sp3's are neutral? or cool? Thanks for the test
Honestly i've used the SP3s in the real world with the FX3. Did a trip to Ethiopia and they were amazing lenses. It just depends on what you want. Regardless both are gonna look good
They tend to be cooler, but if your shooting with them in a set you really wont notice it. Only by comparing it to the Arles does it seem more intense.
You shot with the cooks at a higher tstop so its sharper. But with the Arles you shot wide open mostly. Cmon man 😅 and the arles still looked sharp even wide open. Arles FTW
I was surprised at the amount of breathing with the Cookes. The Arles looked very nice.
Thank you Lucas for giving us this comparison, I really appreciate all of your efforts. Keep up the good work.

You do know that the SP3 widest aputure is 2.4 right?
