DZOFilm Vs Meike Cine Lens Image Comparison

First off, I realized after uploading that I missed focus on some of the Komodo shots, but my comments regarding the R3D codec still stand. I found the bleached look to be difficult to achieve convincingly with the Canon footage, whereas, the Red files could pretty much achieve any look.
I recently acquired some new lighting modifiers for my studio, but I’m afraid they cut the light output from my Hive lights considerably. So I had some challenges, especially at T4. The R3 footage is pretty much immune to noise until pushed to 12,800 ISO. The Red on the other hand, starts to get noisy after 1600 ISO. The one saving grace is that this noise is at least filmic, thanks to the built in Chroma noise reduction.

This video takes a quick look at two of the top budget options for cinema lenses... the DZOFilm Vespid Prime and the Meike Cine lens. While these lenses are both well built and affordable there are some important differences.

Thanks for this review, in my opinion, the Meike produced a better image, and I like that it allows in more light, I’d love to see more images shot with it

I did not see any image comparisons between these two lenses in this video? Did I miss something?

Thanks, much, Bad. In the description, it says you used Dehancer with no grain. Which grain did you choose instead?
