But it's a taste thing and there are no wrong answers, so... What would you shoot with such a lens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's a taste thing and there are no wrong answers, so... What would you shoot with such a lens? It would definitely be very project dependent and only work for something pretty specific. Potentially a dream sequence or a shot trying to demonstrate someone's isolation, possibly trying to create an other worldly look. For whatever reason I am not a fan of this type of look for photos, but it looks really cool in video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree about dream sequences or other-worldy feel, that's definitely the vibe it has. To me the photos you see with these are always models in nature which has a positive/enticing feeling, whereas I think they might better suit a distorted / closing-in / claustrophobia / descent-into-madness kind of vibe. Make all the trees rotting fast jump-cuts for confusion dark music and grim/awful colour palette and you're there with a strong aesthetic. thebrothersthre3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger 2.0 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Just love my new Tokina 28-70mm f2.8 (Angenieux). Have the EF model with AF and unfortunately no aperture ring, but it still works great with last canon mirrorless (unlike the old tamron/sigma lenses that frequently have problems)!

kye Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Video talking about the aesthetic, storytelling and emotional use of focal lengths... it starts slowly but gets to it and shows a lot of examples from the big Hollywood films that the cinematographer made.

PannySVHS Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 @thephoenix would love to see the shortfilm! Great image. Makes me curious. How do you like the Tokina? Is it working well enough at 3.5? How do you like the XT3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you like the XT3? i'am done with shooting so will start post production in a few days, next week i hope but i have another projet to finish first. tokina is great to shoot with, image quality i don't really know yet as it was my first filming with it. the image you saw is full aperture. the short was filmed with the tokina and also the canon 28mm 2.8is, will see how different they are. xt3 is a fantastic camera, so many features for such a fair price.

PannySVHS Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 @heart0lessHobbyists are among the best filmmakers. They have their big breakthrough once they get paid! The guy in the video sound like a Gerrrrman though. They always have this funny pronounciation, even in writing.:) heart0less 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
