Beautifully executed video - so concise and easy to understand. I got all I needed to know from this one video. Thank you!

Probably most people looking at the price of a cine lens is enough to determine which one is right for them 😂

Excellent video I needed to watch. Buying that cimema lens just because it's 'cool' and looks great on my camera isn't worth the impracticality!

[@BandH]

Totally agree. Glad you found this video helpful!

Sony cine 16-35 is a good start to have AF in a cine lens.

useful 7mins

Ahhh, ahhhhhh, it's like music to my ears, every time I hear someone accurately state the difference between ƒ stop and t stop.
I've gotten in (cordial) arguments with people so many times trying to explain what an ƒ stop really is. Does nobody pay attention in math? Hasn't anybody read an old school speedlight manual? ƒ, it's not just a funny looking 'f.'

Another excuse for new filmmakers not to start creating a film. Just DO something with what you have ffs!
