LMAO! It definitely can be. Lenses though are artistically measured on a scale of clinical to character. Most high-end, expensive, cinema lenses are sold due to their unique and specific characteristics, even if they aren’t clinically perfect. Cooke is a great example of that kind of brand.
2:34 I know this type of explanation is done to simplify things, but it confuses a lot of people. Length is length same as millimeters are millimeters. The *length* is not "based" on full frame or vistavision. Lenses just look like whatever they look on each sensor size you put them on. In this case, these look like what each of those focal lengths look like and have always looked like in cinema. Meaning, this 24mm gives you the same angle of view as what a 24mm did in [insert favorite classic film shot on super35.]
Thanks! I always got confused because my 16mm does look like a 16mm on my aps-c camera and it doesn’t look like 24mm that explains it thank you so much
I was just on ST5 set. Their BTS was a c500 and the lens i swear was the size of my thigh. Huge. I just started getting unto this since i have gone the retired route. Its WILD to me just how much goes into their scenes its crazy. Great recreation. Really enjoy your videos. Good stuff.
I didn't like how you explained the focal lengths, you said they're not based on a full frame sensor and gave equivalents, but I think that explanation confuses more than just explaining that the s35 sensor is just smaller than a FF sensor, because the focal lengths are the same, just one looks wider than the other one because of the sensor size.
Sorry for the confusion! You’re absolutely right. These are super 35 lenses, meaning they do not cover full frame sensors. All lenses, with the exception of MFT, have focal length measured against full frame coverage. That’s why there’s a crop factor on these lenses, hence the listed equivalents. 🙏
Thanks, very informative - would these work okay with DJI Focus Pro do you think ? I've read you ned to be able to set lenses to infinity, is that possible with the Sirui Nightwalkers ? Thanks.
Your work is amazing. I'm now sold on this len! I tried to use your code Garrett as per what is in the description on Sirui store as per your link but didn't work. Then I tried Garrett5, and it work. So should the code be Garrett5? Thanks!
Thank you for this!! `I recently added video production onto my branding company and have a couple cannon lenses for my zcam e2s6 & Panasonic GH5 , BUT I'm in the market to invest in some cinima lenses and am looking at options for multiple lenses verses one higher end / etc.
Hey Bunkertons! SIRUI didn’t pay me for the review and the lenses are going back to them now that the review is complete. I don’t let brands preview review videos or give input into the content of what I say/write. I make sure to be 100% honest in my reviews. Not having to purchase products up front allows me to review more things for the channel, while keeping my costs down. I hope that makes sense. I don’t want you to get the wrong idea of how/why I review gear 😊
No they will give a 1.56x crop on the listed focal length. As the focal length listed on the lenses are full frame equivalent numbers. So the 24mm, when put on the fx30, will have a focal length of somewhere around 37mm. Hope that helps
This is a sponsored video, Sirui paid you and probably signed off on the video. Am I wrong? Didn't mean there is anything wrong with that, but despite the tag from RUclips saying it's sponsored you didn't mention it to start the video.
Hey there! Sorry you thought that, but I SIRUI paid me no money, nor did they see the video until after it was uploaded. I always put the sponsored tag on any videos where a company sends me equipment to test. If a brand does pay me or compensates me in any way, I always front load the video/livestream with that information. I appreciate your concern and honesty 🙏
@@garrettsammons Thanks for making that clear. No big deal, but maybe mention that at the start of videos. I think it sets and important context for understanding how to understand your thoughts.
What I came to realize when people say "character", is a marketing way of saying their clinical imperfections.
LMAO! It definitely can be. Lenses though are artistically measured on a scale of clinical to character. Most high-end, expensive, cinema lenses are sold due to their unique and specific characteristics, even if they aren’t clinically perfect. Cooke is a great example of that kind of brand.
Surprised this doesn’t have more views. the production on this is out of this world!!!
Appreciate that my guy! 🤙
True. I believe it's down to the featured product. Video itself is great!
Those "stranger scenes" look freaking awesome. I just came here to see your lens review but seeing that was a major bonus. Great job, man.
Amazing content! Love that you didn’t only talk bout the lenses but showed their capabilities!!!! Rooting for this channel!!!

Quality review my dude. Appreciate your "up north" shirt.
It’s not a phase mom, it’s a lifestyle 🤙

@@garrettsammons sorry so what do the MFT lenses measure against? MFT?
Amazing and detailed review! Really helps me going into my first feature film shoot!
Thanks!
Dope short film with those lenses.
This was absolutely godly. Thank youuuuuuuuu!!!!
Impressive , most impressive !
I read this in Emperor Palpatine’s voice
Are colors consistent across all 3 lenses? 24,35,50
Great video! Decided to purchase these lens
I have a question, for photography is it good?
Maybe someone knows how is it working with Sonya7 III
Awesome video and review. Love this guy and the production for the vid.

Which cine lens good for bmpcc 4k

Oh that’s good to know! I’ll update the info. Appreciate you friend 🤙
Best video on the lenses I could find, thank you!
My main anamorphic lens should be a 16mm = *24mm equivalent* . . .
Did Sirui not make one??
These ones aren’t anamorphic, they’re standard. I know SIRUI has a few lines of anamorphic lenses, but I’m not sure about their field of view.
Aren't they compatible with Canon R5?
Yes they are
Amazing review! Thanks!

Still looking for a review that isn't sponsored/affiliated with Sirui.

same!!!
so d they come with a crop factor on fx30?
Nope, since the fx30 has a super 35 sensor ( also known as an apsc sensor) which is exactly what the lenses are made for.
How’s that chromatic aberration?
Why are there so few likes on this video? To be honest, I loved the video.
Can get an achromatic diopter to solve some of the issues!
Ok, One question...24 OR 35? Just looking to pick up one.
I’m a fan of wide angle lenses personally. I’d go 24.
Hello, will these lenses give exact focal length on a FX30? A bit confused, can you help with an answer?
No they will give a 1.56x crop on the listed focal length. As the focal length listed on the lenses are full frame equivalent numbers. So the 24mm, when put on the fx30, will have a focal length of somewhere around 37mm. Hope that helps
The 24mm will look like a 24mm lens, people trying to calculate a crop factor to compare it to full frame photography sensors are confusing others.
@@anesudetroy i think it's normal when many people calculate it to full frame , because it's easy and common to imagine in digital camera language.
nice review
WHERE IS THE 16MM AND THE 75?
This review is from 4 months ago..
Pointless now to watch sample footage when youtube locks you out of anything beyond low BR 1080p
Is it auto focus?
Fully manual
😂😂😂😂😂😂
why don't they put the ACTUAL focal lengths on them? it makes no sense since they are unusable with full frame sensors O_O
I think it's industry standard NOT to do that (at least to my knowledge), so maybe that's why I guess
The focal lengths are all on the side of each lens. 24mm, 35mm and 55mm
There not unusable for full frame
Just so people know, these do come in L mount
