As much as I think youtube is great and does a good job of promoting quality content the sheer fact that scope isn't on 10m+ views is criminal! Thank you so much for putting these films out for us to watch, they're fantastic, professionally made and one of the few rare trustworthy sources of niche film making information online
I agree but it's an educational video. Our society is programmed for entertainment. It says a lot about what's important to people. Personal pleasure is what folks want most while learning is secondary. Sad.
Media Division is a masterclass in cine lenses. Taught me so much, thank you! Amazing gear to drool at as well. I genuinely think this is the best channel on RUclips.
Found y'all recently. Been learning 3D for a number of years for various reasons. Recently got into photography/film with a solid second hand camera. Absolutely incredible presentation, and super informative at the same time. Not sure if I can fully appreciate how much effort y'all must put in but it definitely shows
Love this topic. I recently found him by chance in a filmmakers subreddit after I’ve already been following this channel for over a year and he responded to me. Great guy, great channel, super funny, entertaining and informative. One of my favorite channels on YT.
Thanks man... that is kind of you to say. Of course I answer... having a great community with like minded filmmakers is what the whole channel is really about. Appreciate you hanging around with us.
That is more that we could ever hope for. I really hope he would have a little nod for us in store... that would have made my day, month, year, life ;-) Thanks a lot man!
I'm not sure why anyone would actually hate zoom lenses. They're a tool, just like any other lens. All have their compromises and it's all down to preference.
I think the move away from their use in film-making has a lot to do with the prevalence of cameras that have rolling shutter. A rapid zoom in/out, or even a really fast pan get ruined by the jellyness/lean of rolling shutter.
Thank´s once more for your outstanding work! Even as a humble hobby photographer I´m always excited to see a new video from you. In my opinion this is THE cinematic channel on RUclips that hardly can´t be bet. Wish you all the best!
These videos offer great in depth knowledge, ultra high quality, great atmosphere and the length is also a perfect compromise between too long and too short. Thank you for the effort and time you spent on creating these videos 👍🏻
Another extremely intriguing video from you guys. I rewatch the Anamorphic episodes just like I do my favorite TV episodes. I always learn something new and look forward to the next video! Cheers.
Thats exactly like we hope it would be... darn, I wish more would feel this way and we could do this full time all thee time. It is very rewarding for us on an emotional level, but you can't feed children with that. Very happy you enjoy
You guys do such awesome work. I decided 3 weeks ago to buy the Dzofilm Catta 70-135mm for Sony to test. I love it so far as it's been time for us to move outta photography lenses. I will be picking up the 35-80 mm and probably even the 18-35 mm towards the end of the year. I will eventually move into a case of Vespid primes eventually. The combination of the two zooms and primes will be the direction going forward unless we are running and gunning.
not jsut a lens review... you're lecturing filmmaking universe with single product! Media Division is way to underrated. Deserves soooooooooo much more!! Thanks for sharing :)
We where hoping for something like that… how boring would a lens test alone be?! Yeah… I wish we would get a bit more attention… spread the word please and thanks for sharing.
I really missed your videos, jumped in this one the second the notification popped up, fantastic video and in depth presentation, keep up your amazing work.
Thanks man... during research I was surprised how much info I was missing thinking I knew enough about zooms. Hope we where able to take others along on the journey
Media Division!!!! You're back. I was worried you'd lose inspiration after the absolute masterpiece that was anamorphic 1 and 2 and for some reason you don't have a million subs. I was just showing my whole family those two videos. I can't tell you how awesome your creations are.
Thanks a lot man… don't worry. That was not my expectations with that subject. Still, we surely could use way more subs and views. Say sorry to your family from me.
Thanks....see it this way: We couldn't have just bought or rented a cine zoom for the episode. Input and help from manufacturers is essential to give you everything around it... and for that, the deserve a test and some love from us
While a borderline 33 minute commercial...I don't mind in the slightest. I forget the previous episode (anamorphic?) where the big guns wouldn't loan MD a set of lenses for testing, for shame...a manufacturer making a decent product providing said product for review/education is splendid in this case. One day when I need a cine lens set...I'm gonna be reaching for a DZO.
Exactly… we couldn't have done this episode without a manufacturer offering their lenses… and they deserve a little love back for that. Thanks for hanging Frollard
@@MediaDivision likewise, thank you for passionately sharing what you do. This is a look into a world at such a granular scale that most people never even approach... Even just glossing over it.
The sound of that motorized precision @22:29 is just absolutely phenomenal... I can't thank you enough for being the inspiration I needed to start my own film making journey. Du und dein Team, Ihr seid einfach der absolute HAMMER!
Wow, very impressive episode! Are you guys still planning on making a video on vintage Leica R lenses? I really enjoyed the videos on vintage Canon FD lenses and Contax Zeiss lenses.
Thank you. Actually no... we don't owe a set and the Leica R (while good lenses) lack a good cinematic story to tell. Unlike the Super speed or K35 relations, there is nothing of that kind with the Leica R.
The zollies used in Severance are a great example too; with just white behind the actor it gives a different effect. Also, great job explaining the complexities of zoom lenses. We going to see more of your Angie 28-70mm in action?
interesting... havn't seen that, yet. Thank you. We already did a test of the Angie in SCOPE Chapter Three. As a spherical lens itself it can't hold a candle to the ACEs of course. The very short focus through makes it a pain to work with. I rather use my Contax zoom
Thank you for this incredible quality video. I have found little good examples of dzo Catta-I in particular would like to use them on fx3 and am interested in the upcoming three zoom set for e mount. Do you know if the Catta (non ace) zooms are of identical visual quality?
Thanks mark... well, I never tried the e mount version, but it would be very odd, if the IQ would be different. I expect these to only differ in the rear group BUT I can't be sure of course
Great work. Do you consider to take a look at some legendary old cine zooms, like Cooke Varotal 20-100 or Angenieux 20-120? May I ask what kind of lights were used on set? Thank you. Jan
Hey Jan... thank you so much for your support. Very much appreciated. And thank you for your kindness. Right now, we don't, simply as we don't have access to those, plus we like the idea, that people can get access to stuff we test. DZO was just nice enough to supply the gear. Lights: There are two Arri 4K HMIs (in the frame) and two Arri 4K HMIs lighting the "outside" behind the window. I am light by a massive beauty dish on a 1.5K HMI (not sure what the brand is).. looks like this instagram.com/p/CjV-oIdKvfE/ That is a lot of Ks, would have worked with a fraction of the output, but you can't really dim HMIs
Hi, thank you for your answer, I really appreciate your work (and your team) to deliver full scale of the facts regarding cinematic stuff in such a interesting way. Hope to get a new episodes soon. Jan
What an episode. I will be honest, I had an irrational fear of zoom lenses. I always found them cumbersome, inconsistent and 'slow'. But as most fears, it roots from lack of knowledge. I have been enlightened! Thank you for making this; The incredible production quality makes it a pleasure to watch, as always.
Zooms rock! For anyone with a crop sensor e-mount camera, the Fujinon MK zooms are still amazing, parfocal, and can be found used for a good price compared to new. FX-30, a1, a7iv, a7Rv are all great matches!
@@christianmajeres9772 Why the hassle…? software emulation looks and works great, doesn't it?! … or are you planning to guid a whole cabinet with CRT… that would be so…… Sonic Boooom !!
@@MediaDivision You can tell from the compression of space in the opening close up, there would be a lot more distortion if the focal length stayed the same. Also this is from Malcom McDowell: We shot in the Korova Milkbar, the opening shot of the film, and the young lad on the end Mike Tarn, was sitting there. Warren and I were friends, Warren Clarke who plays Dim, and we were kind of bored sitting there waiting for the lighting - it was endless. So we said to this Mike guy, "Is there anything that you can do that is going to get you noticed?" We're winding this guy up really being very wicked. He goes, "I don't know. I can flutter my eyelids like this." I went, "That is so cool! What do you think Warren?" "Yeah! Yeah!" Stanley's ready - OK action! Big shot here (on his face), zoom lens and a pull back on a dolly. Suddenly, "Michael!! What the hell are you doing?!" "Well, he told me to!" "Don't look at me! I didn't tell him." Ruined the shot. Goofing around - Stanley didn't like that. We teased him a lot.
@@MediaDivision there’s an ASC interview with John Alcott about Clockwork Orange with a brief mention of it: “One outstanding use of this lens system is Clockwork’s signature opening shot, which begins as a tight close-up on Alex’s sneering face and then slowly zooms out as the camera dollies back, revealing his trio of thuggish companions and the bizarre interior of their favorite haunt, the Korova Milkbar.” The article and another one online talk about the lens being a modified Angenieux 16mm 20:1 zoom with a 1.6x extender on it to cover 35m. I can’t seem to post the links in the comments section, but feel free to PM me for them.
Another fantastically done video. Just the amount of work that had to go into showing the image through all the lens elements, that detail is very impressive!
Thanks Sam… it is based on the Same simulation we used for our SCOPE series and that made it much easier to pull off… took us "only" a days work. A long day that is.
Your dolly zoom out and back in made me wonder if it can be used for a partial transition, where the far out shot hides half a scene transition happening out of the frame which then gets seen on the wide part again. Also like the slight change from side to side. Combined with an orbiting track there is some lovely ideas. Sadly a little bit difficult to experiement with without the equipment
Of course… that is a great idea… a guy sitting “alone” at a table and a dolly zoom revealing he is in a crowded restaurant to emphasize his disconnect… pretty smart but complex shot. Definitely on the harder side of things…. But, where there is a will, there is a way
Thank you - as always - for yet again an impeccable and truly stellar produced episode. Perfection really does exist! Above all, intrigued to find out what the intro/outro song used is? Assuming a royalty-free production? Keep on doing what you are doing, we all appreciate your time and effort put into this like nothing else!
@@kapu2878 Usually my rehoused FD… but they are too heavy for handheld… so are the DZO Arles. We recently tested the Thypoch (aka DZO) Simera C. No PL option but very good for handheld as they are tiny and small
2:43 "perspective remains the same", thank you! Can you please tell this to the tele-compression people? All lenses have the same compression, only the crop changes. A zoom perfectly shows this.
tele-compression refers to distance. If you move further away and zoom in for identical framing, the image "flattens"… also called tele compression. 24:29 shows this in action using a dolly zoom
@@MediaDivision Yes, but you are moving. Some people claim you can change compression just by changing focal lengths. This is a huge misunderstanding in photography. You can isolate the compressed part with a long lens, but it can also be cropped out of a wider shot.
I am indeed a huge fan of yours.....is there some way at some stage to get kind of master classes....kein scheiss....you are believably german....would be cool.
Ich überlege schon lange ob man da was machen kann… das wäre dann aber eher in Form von Life-Broadcast. Es muss sich halt rechnen, und das ist das Problem. Der Channel rechnet sich so gar nicht.
Amazing Video, as always! I'm fan of the Fujinon MK zooms myself! But for the same price, DZO offers FF and also a great built quality... what's not to like?
As much as I think youtube is great and does a good job of promoting quality content the sheer fact that scope isn't on 10m+ views is criminal!

I don't dedicate to filming, but this video blows my mind. It just mesmerizes what can be done with zooms.
Glad you enjoy Pablo… Zooms give indeed pretty awesome options for filmmaking
Greatest RUclips channel
Thats the spirit ;-) Thanks man!!!!
I'm not sure why anyone would actually hate zoom lenses. They're a tool, just like any other lens. All have their compromises and it's all down to preference.
Because they are a compromise… not more not less. Most movies don't contain any zoom shots because… well, we just made a video about that
I think the move away from their use in film-making has a lot to do with the prevalence of cameras that have rolling shutter. A rapid zoom in/out, or even a really fast pan get ruined by the jellyness/lean of rolling shutter.
A new MediaDivison vid, today is a good day!!! 👍👍🎉
Better than watching the news today... or any day lately :-( glad you enjoy
Fantastically-shot and informative as always. DZOfilm definitely partnered with the right person to showcase their lenses.

So the Letus Anamorphx must be double focused when paired with the Catta as well?
Of course... with ANY lens. But, not during a zoom
That Clockwork Orange milkbar shot is a combination zoom out and dolly back, a great example of subtly hiding a zoom.

Thank you for another amazing episode and content!
Thanks a lot Marcel.... and thanks a lot for your support ;-)
Thank you - as always - for yet again an impeccable and truly stellar produced episode. Perfection really does exist!
Above all, intrigued to find out what the intro/outro song used is? Assuming a royalty-free production?
Keep on doing what you are doing, we all appreciate your time and effort put into this like nothing else!
Thank you for your kindness and for hanging around .... indeed, the song is "saving tides" and it is available on Artlist.
Amazing video! I have the pleasure of working with two FUJINON 24-180MM T2.6 lenses in a studio setting and they are simply incredible!
Thanks… that is ONE expensive lens there! Just a tin bit out of my legue ;-)
Always exciting to watch your videos.
Glad you like them! Thanks for hanging
Love your channel. Best of the best. Thank you!
Thanks a lot! Glad you think so. Spread the word
I can't describe how much i appreciate the work you guys put in making such a content with such results
keep it up
🙌
We will certainly. try, but RUclips is playing against us as you see. Thank You for hanging around
Great episode as always!
Thanks a lot TechnoPilot... and as always, thank you for your support. Hope you enjoy!!!
Great content! Do you still use the catta lenses? If so what are your long term thoughts?
Thanks… yes, every time we need a cine zoom. Most of the time we use primes
@MediaDivision what are your go to primes?
@@kapu2878 Usually my rehoused FD… but they are too heavy for handheld… so are the DZO Arles. We recently tested the Thypoch (aka DZO) Simera C. No PL option but very good for handheld as they are tiny and small
@@MediaDivision the simera-c looks amazing though not for every project from what I've seen. Lots of character!
@@kapu2878 I don't think so… they are pretty clean and straight
Great stuff as usual Nik
Thanks Nick… wait for the next one… that will be the big one ;-)
Thanks for the video. This was excellent. I love your stuff.
Totally our pleasure man... it is rewarding that you enjoy so much
Brilliant as usually thanks
Thanks man... totally our pleasure
Totally love your episodes, have been learning so much before purchasing lenses ❤
Glad we could do that for you. Thanks Ameba
LOVE the music in the 10:36 section
Enjoy.
Wonderful video. Much appreciated!
Appreciate your kindness HipHop… thanks for hanging!
2:43 "perspective remains the same", thank you! Can you please tell this to the tele-compression people? All lenses have the same compression, only the crop changes. A zoom perfectly shows this.
tele-compression refers to distance. If you move further away and zoom in for identical framing, the image "flattens"… also called tele compression. 24:29 shows this in action using a dolly zoom
@@MediaDivision Yes, but you are moving. Some people claim you can change compression just by changing focal lengths. This is a huge misunderstanding in photography. You can isolate the compressed part with a long lens, but it can also be cropped out of a wider shot.
my favorite part of the video is from 0:00 - 33:35. 10/10 content as always. :)👍
😂good one... I love it! Thanks a lot and thanks for hanging.
Great video sharing!!! Thank you
With pleasure man… thanks for hanging
Perfect video.well done!
Always trying… thanks man
I am indeed a huge fan of yours.....is there some way at some stage to get kind of master classes....kein scheiss....you are believably german....would be cool.
But i bet 90 %of the people watching the vids do not perceive the level of mastership.....
Ich überlege schon lange ob man da was machen kann… das wäre dann aber eher in Form von Life-Broadcast. Es muss sich halt rechnen, und das ist das Problem. Der Channel rechnet sich so gar nicht.
27 seconds in, and i KNOW this video is going to slap!
Thanks Jack.... very glad it is for you!
I love you, guys! Asalways - perfect! Best wishes from Latvia 🇱🇻🖐🏻🙂
Thanks a lot... glad you like it... and the channel. Thanks for being around.
As always you are fabulous 👌🏻
Well, thank you Sir!
Amazing Video, as always! I'm fan of the Fujinon MK zooms myself! But for the same price, DZO offers FF and also a great built quality... what's not to like?
Thanks....I had the Fujinon MK in my hands recently... really light, but also a bit flimsy.
I like your videos, very quality product!
Thanks Ian… we do our best and try to improve with every episode
@@MediaDivision improve?) u are on highest level)$
The best position to improve from ;-)
Recently did a bts photography on a short film project and one of the location was very similar to time @3:20 from the film "The Village" 2004
OK… I think it is a beautiful set design
Excellent. Thank you!
Totally our pleasure Fuzzy
Finally a new episode! Missed you💖
And the next one is soon to come, too. Already deep in it.
Amazing! What do you think about dzofilm 20-70 for MFT ?
Never used them nor saw them in RL, so,I don't think about them. The ACE are solid for the price point
The best content! As always!
Thanks Viktor… I wish more would feel that way
@@MediaDivision Me too! They will soon enough.
…unlikely … unfortunately
