When I initially started watching this video assumed they'd be in the $3000+ range each, given the performance and maximum aperture. I'm shocked that they're $2150 USD each, incredible value for a proper cine lens.
This video is like being at a cinema themed spa. Soothed by the piano as we take a sip of our hot tea and get into some optic comparisons. Thanks for such a helpful video.
Do you know if using a speedbooster (ef-rf or pl-rf) with these would have any issues? Would love to pick up a set of these and use them on my Komodo-X.
I think so given their rear element protrusion is much shorter compared to other brands. I haven’t watched this entire video but other videos show with measurements in mm.
Not sure, we would have to put them side by side really. These are much larger though, with a much faster aperture at T1.4 vs T2.4. They are EF or PL rather than mirrorless mounts. They potentially have softer out of focus areas as well... but would have to test that.
😅 It's a reflection of the softbox & honeycomb grid. Although fingerprints on the lenses is common when we make lens videos as we have to handle the lenses and angle them for camera etc. so much... so it does happen!
We haven't done a side by side comparison of course. But the Zeiss Otus primes are very clean & neutral as well. I would expect them to be a bit cooler in colour rendition. They only have 4 focal lengths, wheras the Arles range will soon have 10. They also do not have gearing on them for follow focus control and they have no iris ring. So they are not really cinema lenses, they are very high quality, but they are manual photographic lenses.
These are a knockout, especially for the price. Was it just the bokeh of the 25mm that you felt suffered or was it sharpness etc? Surprised you didn’t compare the CA from Vespid to Arles which is one of the biggest improvements for me. This set with the ‘Retro’ flares would be the dream - I’m curious if they’ll go that way!
DZO continues to stun us with these lenses! The rate at which they've evolved their look is astonishing! It's time you guys did a factory tour!
They are very impressive, especially considering the price!

I was amazed when I first saw the price.
The warm color shift actually helps rendering the skin tones nicer. I always found the blue cast distracting with the Vespids, glad they fixed it!
I agree. Thanks for watching

"A Cinema themed spa" could be the new channel motto 😂
Thanks for watching
That bokeh is really, really beautiful. Wow.
It’s impressive isn’t it!
I really love this lens. It's artistic backgeound blur is amazing.
They have a great look to them
Only PL mount?

No that should work fine
would these work with the metabones speedbooster?
I think so given their rear element protrusion is much shorter compared to other brands. I haven’t watched this entire video but other videos show with measurements in mm.
How do you think these would compare in terms of character and image quality with the Cooke SP£ lenses?

The fingerprint on the 50mm is spot on
I think its acutally the softbox with a grid on, but not sure 100% :)

Looking forward to using these lenses! Did you happen to do any tests with both the arles and vespid around T2.1 or T2.8?
I'm afraid not, the only tests we did are in this video.
Yes! Send me those lenses!
Hi, Carl. How do you compare them to a tokina vista? Of course tokina is almost three times the price of these, but still. Thank you
It would be an interesting comparison to do actually! I really like the look from both
looks really good
Thanks for watching

There was definitely less CA on the Arles.
Looks like DZO might have finally sorted out Colour Matching their focal lengths..
Yes they do seem to match much better than previous lenses
More Olivia, she's gorgeous
This will sadly be the last video with Olivia in it i'm afraid. She has moved on to another company now.
Their Gnosis lenses were the best, goregus image out of those.
Agreed. The focus through did make them difficult to use for most work outside of macro projects though.
👍🏾🙏🏾 🏴🇸🇪🇹🇹
First ✨
