A wonderful objective for all independent filmmakers

Clearly. The video-enabled DSLR has revolutionized the world of independent and no-budget filmmakers. Here we have an objective, which is aimed at this group. The lens is manually through and through. That is, there is no auto focus, image stabilizer, or otherwise. The optical performance of this extremely bright lens (endlcih are crisp shots in low-light situations possible) is impressive and can easily keep up with the lenses of the brand manufacturer. Anyway Who scenic Filmt or photographed does not use automatic functions. Therefore, one can take 1,000 or 2,000 euros for a lens from Canon's L series, confidently take up this wonderful glass. Especially here is still that it is the VDSLR version of this lens. That focus and aperture ring are already provided with gears (you have no more annoying an adapter ring rank flops) and can be easily and continuously rotate. Perfect prerequisites therefore, to use it to rig and follow focus. This lens provides professional movie feel to the camera and as a result. Toll! And at a spot price.

I use only the lenses Walimex VDSLR series of gaming and corporate video production. This Nikon lens sits with me adapted to a Canon 60D with Magic Lantern Hack and is also gerigt and provided informed follow focus and matte box of Videeon. That's cinematography and has nothing to do with a camcorder. With this lens, and a reasonable body you reach an optical performance that is looking himself in the five digit price range without equal in the pro camcorder area.

But one should be also placed every warmly. This lens is not for the amateur filmmakers who are accustomed to a consumer video camera. Just looking draufhalten not do. Without stabilization useful handheld shots are impossible ... as I said, the glass is what staged films, with the planned settings and camera Assistants' ....

Finally, a tip. Who calls his own a Canon, can be the much cheaper versions of these lenses Niko buy and adapt a cheap 20 euros ring. I have also done so, is the problem. Focus set at infinity remains.
