Gotta love this man. Starts his sales spiel with the word "honestly" a few times. Maybe to assuage his inner "honest" person. 😅 Then later on admits I am gonna get to keep a few of these 2500 dollar a piece lenses but "honestly" no money has exchanged hands and I am not a shill youtuber "honestly". Gissa break maan, it may work in China. Apologies for stereotyping you because of the oriental looks and you may instead be a born American person in which case you should use the word "honestly" more often as a God's given right...😅 Excellent content BTW....

This dude gonna make me poor :,)

Hahaha 4:18 guessing I’m outing all the bf’s out there 😂 Thanks for having me on some of these sets man. The Arles blew me away and definitely looking to use these on any projects I can in the future 🥲

Those shots at 8:08 to 8:30 looked amazing! Were you shooting wide open at T1.4?

You’ve got the talent, now find a decent script. Preferably horror as it is easier to sell.

Ryan! I appreciate this video and your honesty! Brilliant!

super

Have you compared matched sets? That is, a matched set of primes will give you color consistency. An unmatched set will not. There is variation between how well manufacturers match their prime sets.

Harbor freight for the win?

They do look amazing, thanks for the review. For the price they offer such great value just like the Nisi Athenas. But considering that Arri has recently released the Enso lenses, man they have just lowered the entry point to Arri lenses by a huge chunk, albeit still quite expensive. Would love to see you add the Enso lenses into the mix for such lens comparisons if you ever get the chance.

Lab Like Test footage was helpful. Thanks

We used the A set on a Music video last month, borrowed from the local dealer here, and they were great! Couldn't be happier with them. Image was high end and made our talent look amazing. You wouldn't guess that they are a "budget" cinema lens set. That being said about investment, I agree that for keeping them as a always on hand set for you to personally use is a worthwhile option. I don't really see them being popular as a rental investment because you can spend a little more on the daily fee and get the more well known and traditionally 'expensive' priced lenses. We have been/are considering maybe the 8 lens set, so minus the 40mm and 21mm. We used the Arri Signature Primes on the last music video project we did and those are so so light weight compared to the Arles, you can feel why you're paying more. The Arles are good but very heavy in comparison. I think the Enzo's are a better investment long term, especially with the rear filter choices, it's like 7 lens sets in one. Of course they are more expensive then the Arles but I think the demand will be higher as they are Arri, the build quality, serviceability, and also lens selection is greater. 10.5mm = insane. You can probably buy both sets of Arles for the price of two Enzos, but long term you'll make that money back. Will still consider the Arles though as an in-house set as we can't afford the Enzos right now, but yeah. Nice video :)

It’ll never cease to amaze me how Americans malfunction trying to say the simplest French words

is that acam 1st's build? the red one?

Amazing work! I watched twice!!

Love to see the comparison between Arles and Vespid in terms of image quality and value perspective. Love your videos!

Practice makes improvement! Nothing is perfect!

Currently these are the cheapest option for fast glass in a cinema housing, and they happen to perform really well. That said other budget options get the job done if you don't need T1.4. The Dulens set is an amazing deal. The Meike S35 set is also an amazing deal, incredibly cheap. I currently have the Meike set. I was going to switch to Dulens, but in the budget arena I just don't think it matters. All these brands don't hold much weight when it comes to booking jobs unless you have a set of Cooke, ARRI, or Zeiss. I am currently saving for the Cooke SP3 set, which I think will hold it's value pretty well as the weight is appealing for a lot of uses. Until then my Meike set will do just fine for anything where I am not renting.

Really great work. Really want me to try these !

DZO Arles 28mm please

How do these compare to Lumix S Primes? Is there a huge noticeable difference? or is it only a difference a cork sniffer, wine gargler would notice especially after a color grade?

Bts is looking crispy

Unless you're french you probably can't pronounce Arles properly either...

@3:42 hey Jordan!

How would you say these compare to an Otus or Cooke?

Just sent off the Arles DZO let me use for a couple months and wow....they are incredible lenes. Good breakdown of them bro

I tried them on a lens test for a movie I shot... was not impressed. Maybe ok for owner operator but not a lens I'd choose to rent

Great video Ryan! Probably one the few creators I don’t miss a video

We Stan active KZbin Ryan 😅😂❤ love you bro

Great job, Ryan. I love all the detailed commentary and the example footage in various situations. Well done.

Thank you for making a real review, not some overhyped youtube crap. I actually own the A set and your right these definitely pack a punch with the price.I think these will slowly creep its way to mid budget high end work. I do agree with you on the flares, but the more i use them the more i love the look of the flares. I also like how controlled focus breathing is on these.. Good Job Ryan

would love to see these on a softer wider range sensor like the mini LF

14:07 THE SHOT 🔥

Heym thank you for this review. Can you tell which adapter u use for this lenses with FX3?

LOLOL 9:41 dead. Great review bro - yeah we both align on how we feel about these lenses. Some of the best optics to release this year

Which is a good budget cinema lens that you would recommend? Nice video budget congrats for all your grown!!!

Honestly 3 times in 30sec bro

You are such an inspiration. I hope one day I can be half the videographer you are!

I should of just not uploaded my dzo video today ahah this was amazing brother

So many information in just one video! I love that you show the actual process done by yourself to achieve that perfect light! Thanks a lot!

you're having FUN but working wayyy too hard young man! but I like ur MOXIE! a lot of your desired SPFX can be much better in POST! - but I'm sure u know this, mon!

Loved this breakdown . Very solid And easy to follow your thoughts! Thinking of getting some more powerful lights soon, im thinking about the nanlite 300b + pavoslim 60/120c or 500b but cant decide which one 🤔

What's the software you use to live view on the iPad?

if I shoot a music video at 30fps, and reduce the speed by 80% like you demostrated , would I need to speed up the music track when recording also?... how would I get the music to match up with frames?

Good work

Did you shoot the bathroom and bed scenes in log format? ISO. What are your ISO values?

Coming from a AF lens, how would you keep the MF sharp with scenes that are moving, like those kitchen scenes with a handful of subjects/ pan being used. ? Curious to know?

great

This is gorgeous
