Do you prefer autofocus lenses or cine lenses? Let me know!

[kristenp]

I’ve been loving seeing your work with the cine lenses! Also, loved the paintbrush analogy 🙌

[supercine]

So far I only used Arriflex cine lenses like Zeiss Standard and Super Speeds, Cooke Speed Panchros, Schneider + Kinoptik primes and Angenieux zooms. Accidentally I bought an automatic lens with a Lumix GH camera in a kit. And do you know what? Now I preferably use the automatic lens. I didn't think it would be such a relief.

Thanks for the video. I love the color rendition and iq of cinema lenses whenever I get footage from a commercial shoot to edit. So I always wanted to buy cinema lenses for my bmpcc4k. But I don't have a speedbooster yet and I don't know if I can switch the mount if I buy a native m43 mount cinema lens and upgrade to a bmpcc6k in the future.

In my opinion, shooting manual focus will give you an overall better image quality.

The irony is a want the 75mm 1.4 SLR for stills exclusively…. For video I’m running the Samyang V-AF Cine because I feel like I’m getting character and auto focus although it isn’t the best it looks so rich. Love your work Alex. Hope one day you can try the Samyang line and tell us how you feel. 😎

I rented a set of these in cine E (smaller form), not sure if it has the same optical design as the microprime but i surely loved the character it produced

[ZacktheFilm]

I used these lenses for a bit but ended up ditching them. I had the 18, 21, and 50mm lenses for Sony and hated the bad focus breathing and inconsistent look from lens to lens. I did really like the 50mm though.

[courtneysposato]

hey, i love your channel! i just got my slr magic 35mm microprime, and i'm noticing a lot of barrell distortion and vignetting. Do you have any tips for how to combat that? I feel like your videos dont have as much as i'm getting. Thank you, and keep up the awesome work!!

[itsmarcocanlas]

Great video, as always! Thoughts on the slmagic primes vs dzofilm vespid primes?

[pizzomedia]

How do you like these working solo pulling focus on your own?

[goldenhour]

I have FX3 and just received the set of these Micro Prime lenses (21, 35, 50, 75). I'm loving the look so far. One question. When I film handheld with these, IBIS seems to be disabled. How do you enable it? Thanks.

[philliptamez]

What do you think about the new Rokinon/Samyang AF lenses?

[avstudios]

bro plz make a tutorial how to edit avengers endgame endcredits original 6 avengers signature credits in after effects plz bro🙏🙏🙏😥😥

[SoulJazzDance]

Yeah, making a post like this only tells people how little you know about photography and cinematography. Auto focus is definitely new, and the truth is in motion pictures in real movies. Most photographers pull focus they do not auto focus. It’s not a secret.
