redimp Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I'm trying to choose taking lens for my Isco S8 and bmmcc, and have the two that I cannot choose between, wanted to get some opinions. One is a 28 f2.8 lens, the other one is 32 f1.4 lens. I shot a little comparison video, 28 is on top, 32 on the bottom. In the beginning of the video the shots are done at f2.8 at both lens, then there's a part where the top part is missing, that's because that footage was shot at f1.4, and the 28mm lens can't do that =) I am slightly biased, since I know which brands they both are, so I bought one lens, because I really thought it's gonna work, and just happend to have the other one. The weird aperture shape on the 32 will probably be replaced with a fixed oval one, if I decide to give this lens a go. I will put a white text below this line, so you can select is and see the brands if you'd like: 28 mm is C/Y Zeiss Distagon, 32 mm is Yashinon DX that I harvested from a half frame Yashica camera, hence the aperture shape.

Flynn Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I slightly prefer the look of the 28mm. Just wish it was 1.8. redimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having wider FOV is nice, but a lot of times f 2.8 is just too slow, like when I'm shooting indoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a preference for one of the lenses? You managed to get some really nice looking bokeh at f2.8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
