To me, it all comes down to the story you want to tell (cliché, I know). This is in addition to what you mentioned: "It comes down to your ability as a director of photography, etc." Funny enough, I purchased a 7artisans 50mm T2.1 Cine Super 35 lens for my Sony FX3 (that's what I can afford for now, lol). I initially thought it was a full-frame lens and was going to return it, but then I heard you mention the Super 35 comment. :)

Also I agree with you. Big super 35 lover here I like to see more of the background / deep focus look.

Ended up liking B the most C second place

lens ' rumors' have always been a funny thing to me. It's a typical thing of the internet. Sometime, somewhere on some forum a couple of persons made a (personal) claim and it quickly echood into other corners of filmmaking communities. I can name a bunch of rumors or claims from at least 10 years ago that are still being parroted today. People don't do their own research and often just parrot the first search results from google with those debunked and old claims. Also something to take into mind is that back then a lot of folks shot on sensors with heavy sharpening on. Thank you guys for this extensive test! (y)

Quality content. I like the Leica.

Yay lens test!!

Great Job Guys . Buying them ? humm No sure

I like the line stretch and hex as those provide a nice unique look that would be great for a stylistiic music video or brand piece.

They are cool, let’s see some more!

geared up for tomorrow

very trippy but theraputic in a way.

I had this has for a while but sold it, it did not win its way to my heart. First of it all, it is large and heavy lens and quite unbalanced with lighter weight cameras. The image for this lens is not particularly convincing, it's a bit stale and clinical and sometimes soft in the corners. I didn't like the 28mm wide end, which with the digital stabilization and focus breathing compensation becomes more like 35mm when cropped in. This is not wide enough for establishing shots. And the powerzoom is quite mediocre. It is too fast for a slow zoom, and too slow for a crash zoom, so doesn't really add something for the video itself. I think this lens is mainly suitable for ENG-shooters, who just want to get to shot and the looks are secondary. I use the Sony 16-35mm f4 powerzoom and the Tamron 35-150 f2 -2.8 and never looked back.

LETS GOOOO

This is a very useful and informative video, thank you

Have to hit your marks Drew. Nice comparison video.

Welp...... Acolyte's been canceled

I use a magnfying lense with a centrifical droploft and a twerk miser standalone phone baloney... Now you know what real photography is done wiff.

Can you show how you rig out your red dragon especially for audio. That’s where I’ve been having a lot of issues.

Awesome I’m still using my red epic dragon DSMC one with the motion mount and it works amazingly with the new lenses that’s been released, especially the Blazars

My guess, 1.Minolta Stills 2.Zeiss CP.2 3.Summicron-C 4.Cooke Panchro 5.Kowa Anamorphic 6.Arri Master prime Anamoprhic

im loving the exposure on the A cam! My man has been leveling up for Years! SDGAF hahah keep it up!

Just Got A red Komodo OG. and regret not having cinema primes. Also no body tole me I would need to sell my body to rig it up lol Do you think I can get away with a budget set of Cine prims like the new hope cine prims?

yeah! more!

I for one would apprecaite a full short video series on all the burgers on the list recapped in this same way. Especially when Drew has to bump a burger from the list.

Pay off, shake shack giving the ol “Rick Flair” treatment to grind house…. I re-watched that several times.!!!

Oh. I’m paying the price…it was the gift that keeps on giving 😊

The fact you ate all that and got on a plane…that’s the most brave thing you’ve ever done…hahaha 😂

I know I am not the target audience. I am not a native english speaker. But: The speakers are difficult to understand. Is this the way they speak in Missisippi?

Great job, how do I turn off the subtitles I think they're burned into the video? Audio in coming in only on right speaker. Thanks for sharing, look forward to more.

All audio is only coming out of right speaker

Finally an apology from Drew!

Osmo pocket action

Great stuff, and the other parts were NOT too long at all!

Thanks so very much for sharing this GREAT information Drew! Question: you used to charge $750, curious what you guys charge now for the same doc style video?

Great advice!!

I second the "don't finance gear" notion. It happens way too often.

Yea with further study, your way wrong in that its a WOKE deal, Kathleen Kennedy did not even do tryouts for Stenbergs role, She did the role specific for Stenberg only due to the WOKE agenda that Kennedy is pushing on the Acolyte. Its Failing and not even toys are selling. They have fired Stenberg due to both her raciest music video she put out but also her overall "You owe me attitude" You will not see a season two for sure. WOKE WOKE WOKE WOKE is a loser mentallity and non business function. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iomnpWyjq7GKndU

The show is fantastic and despite all your claims you are trying to make an actual critique video without appealing to the anti woke agenda, Is this video is just click bait

Great content bro

The "twins" idea is cliche af but if you're going to go there, then there's definitely sooo much cool stuff that a writer/director can do in terms of baiting and switching the audience. This show hasn't done any of it.

thanks again drew ! 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for your transparency. I find it refreshing in a world of hype.

at this point ive watched more acolyte videos than ive watched disney starwars content

sound is bad on this show..you can tell when they are on a sound stage and when they are on location. There was also a point when the one Jedi was running with saber out and the hum was missing

It's also up to the editor and director to choose the performance to put in..the actor may feel a better take was better but at the end its the director and editor

As a lament, you have helped me understand why some of these just seemed off and or dumb while watching.

It just doesn’t work, only thing that could somewhat save it, is that it’s a ren and they just dark side users who wanna be rouge, just overall very shit

There is woke rage bait for sure but that's the shield they hide behind to produce lazy content. So it is relevant regardless of politics. If you criticize it, you're a racist, homophobic , toxic fan. Most of the other channels criticizing it do you say it's very agenda driven, but agree with you that it's just a bad show.

TL:DR it is a bad show for {insert any reason}.
