premini Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I am currently using it with a Helios 44-M and that gives an organic lo fi lookI am looking for another lens to preserve the cinematic look but a bit more clean.Any suggestions? I am using a BMPC-4k so i think 35mm lenses should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I really like the Tokina 28-70mm 2.6 (which was recommended by Andy Lee in the lens thread). This fits perfect with the 54 and is the first and only zoom I am confident with an anamorphic and has none of the quirks most of all zooms have. It feels also parfocal although it is said to be it is not. But mine seems to be quite okay even for zooming. It produces a very nice image. But maybe it is not modern enough for your needs cause of it Angenieux desing... it is also very heavy!I am not sure if this lens will work with your EF as it does with my GH4 with lensturbo for Nikon mount.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 12, 2015 Administrators Share Posted March 12, 2015 The Sigma 30mm F1.4 (old version) is a surprisingly good fit for the 54.Very sharp at F2.Flares up nicely.Good physical fit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THats a good looking lens but i don't know how would it pair with the 54. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 IMO, usually modern digital lens has the best sharpness, except flare, if you don't care. Actually in most scene, no flare necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually in most scene, no flare necessary.Sure, but as we always say, sometimes sharpness may render a sterile image, making your footage look more like a video than cinema. I just saw this short film and i love the look. So i think i will choose one of the lenses they used, with the exception of the Otus which is out of my reach..https://vimeo.com/96149530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
