    • Definitely what I will consider, or even the Z5II once it starts getting cheaper on the used market.
    • looking my previous footage, i still like ml raw the best, no matter from 5d3 or crop mood cams, like m. 
    • Yes, it has an emotional component doesn't it - that's a good way of putting it. There are lots of parallels between cinema and dreaming or memories, so in some ways the more realistic the image is the less aligned it is with all the other things about it that are dreamlike or like a memory (e.g. we can teleport, jump time, speed up and slow things down, we can see something happening without being there, we can fly, etc).  Considering that memories are formed more readily at points of heightened emotion, I think there's a link between a slightly surreal image and something feeling emotional. Unfortunately the front element rotates with focus on this lens.  I had it in my head that means I can't use it with the anamorphic adapter but just realised that's not true as the taking lens should stay at infinity...  I'll have to try that next! I'm not sure about hard-edged bokeh..  maybe I'll come around but not sure.  Our attention is directed by a number of things, one of which is sharpness, and so focusing the lens is the act of deliberately directing the viewers attention by adjusting the focal plane to be on the subject of the image.  When the out-of-focus areas have hard edges, this takes the viewers attention and pulls it towards things that have not been chosen as important in that image, so it sort of undermines the creative direction of the image in a way that you can't really counter.
    • It reminds me of the early dot com bubble and all the junk websites and businesses. All the junk side of AI is going to get swept away later this year when the market crashes.
    • All of the above. I think that the lessening of detail forces my brain to "fill in the blanks", making it more of an interactive set for me. And I have an emotional response to an espresso machine, which I usually wouldn't. Curious, does the front element rotate when focusing on this? I've held the same position for years but lately I've been learning to like it. Hard-edged bokeh is one of the big differentiators between modern and vintage glass.
