An AMAZING Cine Lens UNDER $500 for the SIGMA FP and Lumix s5 | The 7artisans 85mm t2 | Cinematic

[@TonyReidsma]

I really like your videos… nicely done. I have been using a full set of Rokinon Cine lenses in a Nikon F mount so I can use them on any brand of body. Shot the Fuji XT4 for a bit over a year, but sold it all to get four S5 bodies so I can use a different focal length on each body. Question: Do you know how these compare to the Rokinon Cine DS lenses? I shoot below T2 on the Rokinon lenses. PS: I also enjoy shooting with vintage Nikkor lenses.

[@Vlogtravelinchina]

Thank you for sharing your testing the 85. I just brought one but has not used at the moment.

[@Ansonandco]

So a week later… have you used it???

[@neoterixx3440]

I recently discovered you channel and I love the content. Your color grading is so pleasing to me. Can you make a color grade tutorial on the s5 in resolve ?🙏

[@Ansonandco]

It will definitely come at some point. I’m glad you like the grade. Thanks for watching!

[@iello911]

Thanks for this review of the third lens; i had placed my order already a few days ago - based also on your previous reviews - and i am looking forward to receiving them and using them on my fp and SL. Since i shoot mostly still, i have been using photo lenses so far, and i am excited about having a set of affordable cine lenses. Keeping fingers crossed hoping they will add a 24 or 25mm at some point (sooner rather than later).

[@Ansonandco]

Absolutely! Glad I could help with the info. I am excited to see what they do next for the line up. I was really impressed with these little lenses.

[@bportaro]

The screws that come with the lens are designed to be “geared” or used with follow-focus equipment, and that equipment has to attach to the focus and aperture rings. However, I don’t think they ever came out with the equipment.

[@JAEtsler]

Being a fellow Lumix shooter (s5ii), if you had to choose between the 7Artisans (35 & 85) or Rokinon (35 and 85) with an adapter? I like that some of the Rokinon have weather sealing. Though Idk if filters are weather sealed so that could nullify it in general. Also I already have the 35 Spectrum from 7Artisans. Probably worth it to just get the 85 since I already have filters for those threadings. But I wonder if the Rokinon's are worth trading out for or adding over time the collection

[@GeraldBertramPhotography]

Anson! I've been eyeing these guys over the past few weeks. Only thing stopping me is that color difference between the 35 and the rest of the lenses in the set.

[@Ansonandco]

GERALD! I know! I really wish they had better attention to detail, but for a set you can pick up for the cost of one lens from competitors, there is a trade off for sure.

[@ChrisFlores22]

An s5!? What!? Great video as always man!

[@Ansonandco]

😂Thanks dude!

[@topicruben]

Dude, Imperfection is perfection!!! These lenses are super interesting! I saw a very good deal on ebay but I had no idea about them, so thank you for this video- that I will have to rewatch it! They look fantastic! The only thing is (I think) they don't have EF mount...?!? cause I use the Pocket 6K Pro...

[@Ansonandco]

Oh dang yeah that will definitely limit whether you can use these or not. Have you checked out the zhongyi optics lenses?

[@Altcine]

Nice one Anson, very thorough review. I like what you said about vintage lenses Vs something like these spectrum. It is a shame they don't match but still good.

[@Ansonandco]

It is a shame they don’t color match. But for a set of lenses that you can buy the whole set for the same price as one lens from the competitors, there has got to be a downside

[@Altcine]

@@Ansonandco Yes you're right! It's not a major deal breaker, just a little extra work in post.

[@kevin-haggerty]

Thank you! I have the RF 50 and the 85. I wish they made the 35 in the RF mount but they don’t as of now. I have been wondering what the heck those little pins are myself😂

[@Mikemantis819]

35 is out for RF

[@pastamatt]

Is your screen at 7:07 all three lenses side by side? If so, I'd say the 50 (middle shot) is the most different colour-wise... shifted cooler and more magenta.... I'm looking for someone show a good colour comparison within this set...

[@Ansonandco]

The side by side shots are all three lenses and if I remember correctly the end of the video is all comparison shots of the set. The 35 was cooler in my experience and the 50 and 85 were closer together in color, but they are not perfectly matched lenses

[@prOkrEAt]

I agree that the 50 was most different from 35/85 in the side by sides in the video. I do have all these and the 14mm too. These are great for the price IMO and yes, I have about 15 vintage lenses (Helios 44m/2/4/7, Jupiter 9s, Zeiss 50/85, oreston, mamiya, and others), which are all great but even the 2 Helios 44m are different, but one is 13 blade... And the 2 44m-2 are different, and all 3 Jupiter 9s are different. And I have to get follow focus rings on them all which depending how you do it can be pricey for nice metal ones or probe to slipping with the rubber ones. But can't beat their character.

[@Connorshamlian]

Isn’t the pins for the same thing as a manual follow focus? They kinda look like focus stops if your hoping between two object. Not sure though but great video!

[@s.o.s235]

I would really like your thought in comparing the 7 artisan cine lenses to Dzo and Meike doe the BMPCC 4k. Any thought s would be appreciated.

[@bryanbarajasBB]

I notice a certain muddy look at the focus breathing segment🤔Did you do do something with mid tones or adjusted for skin tones?

[@Ansonandco]

It may have been slightly out of focus. I was not watching critical focus as much as usual for the test. I also slapped a grade on, so it may have been slightly off.

[@jackskinner1112]

Think the pins could be used to mark certain focus points so you can hit them during a scene with moving subject?

[@Ansonandco]

That would normally be set on the follow focus unit and not the lens. And the pins to not overlap with the focus gears. I thought it may have had to do with focusing, but there is no cross over with the focus ring. I asked 7artisans and no one could answer 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@hoodaffairstv]

have you tried the panasonic 85mm 1.8 yet

[@Ansonandco]

I haven’t 🤔 I did see that it went on sale recently though

[@filmbyakiljoefield]

I'm defintely sold on these lenses as my first cinema lens kit, in my opinion these must be the best value budget cine lenses on the market, very excited to test them and crete lots of short films with them as well :D

[@Ansonandco]

Yes! They are absolutely amazing at the price they are offered. Go forth and create!

[@QippysChannel]

Nice one! Btw i think the pins are supposed to be screwed on the lens , they should be threads on the lens I guess , and it allows for easier focus pulling

[@Ansonandco]

Thanks dude! So on photo lenses I can see the pins helping, but these screw in and just sit there. Nothing turns with these pins. I asked 7artisans and they didn’t know, my buddy asked them and got the same answer.

[@QippysChannel]

@@Ansonandco hehhe really how odd man , oh well 😆

[@bportaro]

I heard on KZbin that the pins have something to do with working with a stabilizer.

[@MrCapturedmoments]

I don't know what the pens are for off hand, but I THINK they are markers for focus pulling. DONT' QUOTE ME ON THAT ! That being said, thanks for making these great videos reviewing with series of lenses. I have the S1H and I am looking for an affordable Cinema lens. Based on what you have demonstrated, I am leaning toward the 35mm of the series.

[@luisferrusco5539]

Today my set of spectrum lenses for Sony arrived. In fact, the 35mm lens is much warmer than the 50 and 85, I even feel that it has a warm coating that makes everything look like Mexico in Breaking Bad. Color consistency between lenses is something important to me, I hope others take it into account if they are thinking of purchasing this set.

[@rcepter5485]

Any plans to review the 25mm?

[@Ansonandco]

I do not think it’s out or in the works

[@daoud1608]

Amped about the s5 review. There is a sale going on now including the lumix s 85mm

[@Ansonandco]

Stay tuned that should be coming soon! I just saw that today, that’s dope!

[@daoud1608]

@@Ansonandco I’m been following you and was just about to pull the trigger for a sigma fp. Which should I choose for beginner level experience that I can grow into

[@Ansonandco]

@@daoud1608 honestly it all depends on what you’re filming. If you have time to work withy he footage in post then the FP. But if you need quick turn around and a good image pretty much out of camera, I would go S5

[@daoud1608]

@@Ansonandco ok. Don’t want you to “spoil the lead” to much. Lol. Thank you!

[@Photovintageguy]

Did you ask 7 artisans to send you a production version of the 35?

[@Ansonandco]

I did, I did not get very far

Thanks mom ❤️

[@ludovicavice3496]

There were like..I want you guys to be able to put accessories on lens too now meanwhile here are some pins ;) These lens and bodies are making getting into cinematography so much easier 😇 damn I wish when I started we had these, you could get a set for the price of an entry level cinema lens lol.

[@Ansonandco]

I LOLed on the pin comment hahaha but seriously I think these are great for people that want to get into cinema lenses and needs a better cost of entry

[@GUDZON_CREATIVE]

Cool setup in 3 lens, like in dream 👍

[@Ansonandco]

Absolutely! Thanks

[@AdrianBond]

Nice image, but to my eyes there are color differences among all the lenses, which is a pity.

[@Ansonandco]

Yeah that side by side shot really makes it more apparent that there is very little color matching

[@seachill]

Why Sigma doesn't Have photo recipes communities like Fujifilm ?! Even sharing setting in sigma is easier But I can't find A community for sharing recipes

[@Ansonandco]

Like what settings people are using to get the shot?

[@seachill]

@@Ansonandco Yes

[@locksleylennoxvfx]

I want!

[@ShellyBHollis]

If you only had one?

[@Ansonandco]

Depending on what you’re shooting, that’s a tough question. BUT I think it would be this one and the 35 in a close second

[@ShellyBHollis]

@@Ansonandco Was thinking of running it on my gimbal, and just a go to lens. I have the sigma 16mm 1.4 but its not full frame and that's what I was using to get my 30-35mm look.

[@Corruptlol187]

i wonder why you dont talk about the focus breathing and the absolut terrible color balance between the lenses .. if you buy one lens you might be good but buying the kit and thinking you get the same picture while switching lenses .. thats not gonna happen

Good Sir🙂✌️

[@Ansonandco]

Thanks Ajay!

[@AjaySingh-228]

@@Ansonandco You are welcome sir

[@HGQjazz]

For me, the things I have very little room for compromise with a cine lens are: 1. Focus breathing 2. Color matching focus breathing
