These Cinema Lenses Are Taking Over | Nisi Athena 50mm Review

[@cogmission1]

Very thorough review! Thank you very much! (I learned a lot by the distinctions you make)

Sick vid. I have the same issue at 10:48 but whirh the budget Sirui Night walker, it's like whats past infinity/where do i stop hahaha?, great content again.

[@CreateGreg]

Solid video! 👍

[@Bo_Hazem]

Thank you. Lack of weather sealing is a red flag to me. Maybe I'll go with IRIX.

[@itmeremy]

Fair enough, those Irix lenses do look nice

[@Bo_Hazem]

@@itmeremy I trust NISI glass myself, but we tend to have monsoon season and I don't wanna babysit my gear. That's why the same goes to exposed body cameras like FX6, RED, etc will never be considered by myself despite their great feature set. Less worry and more focus on the project itself.

[@itmeremy]

@Bo_Hazem that makes sense, they're all just tools for different jobs

I compare the results that CVP did about Nisi Athena VS DZO Arles and Athenas are superior.

[@itmeremy]

@@Filmmaker593 superior as in cleaner? Because I wouldn't be surprised about that, although a couple of the Athenas apparently have some noticeable CA. I think the Arles look more pleasing, which I'm not going to say is better, but it kinda is.

I assume the hard stop at the end is way past infinity focus? Arrgh, yet one lens maker who doesnt bother making infinity where it should be. Whyyyyy. Look at all the camera makers until 1990 infinity was the end and it was precisely there, not even the Russians botched that.

[@itmeremy]

Yeah I find it weird that lenses these days do that

[@brmoogma]

to have no character is the character of the nisi lenses :)

[@itmeremy]

That's one way to put it I guess

Jesus love you all so much❤️✝️

Video quality is ok, but the review quality needs work. You tend to highlight what you do not have or what you not used to shooting.. i.e. AF vs Manual focus. Focus on your usage with the lens with actual footage and get to the highlights faster. This is just constructive criticism. No shoots fired sir. Good luck on your journey.

[@cogmission1]

Not being argumentative, but I disagree. I think it was very thorough of him to establish context by informing the viewer of the bounds of his experience and equipment limitations so that the user can use that information to put the review in the right light, or adjust the observations to suit a viewer's particular interests. Good job Remi.

The size of it defeats my purpose.

Like it's too small?
