Lightly sand the front element and smear a bit of Vaseline around the edge et voila, instant character! I know what you mean though Phil. They are optically quite clinical and the most boring things to look at for sure. For video AF, they are the best option though. For a margin more character, the f2 Sigmas have it at the expense of a tiny bit of AF. Then there is the rest of the stuff where it’s trading or losing AF for character gain. I personally prefer to have the better starting point and add character in post but then some character is inherent in the lens so… There’s always a trade off! That new 40mm f2 might just be the sweet spot… -
To be honest it's the less than stellar but fast & small third party lenses that I crave. For Fujifilm you have the Viltrox f/1.4 & f/1.7 primes. For Sony you have a ton of smaller lenses like the 24 f/2.8, 35mm f/2.8 or 40mm f/2.5 but also again third party AF lenses from Viltrox, TTartisan, etc. I realize that the 1.8 primes from Panasonic are great, but they're not checking my criteria, I'd prefer them optically a bit worse but smaller with more character. I remember when the vision for mirrorless cameras was that you could get lenses at the same performance at a smaller size... and now nearly everything that releases is a really big, technically ideal lens at a high price. I used to like lenses like the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM which were okish but had interesting rendering over the great but huge Sigma 50mm 1.4. Guess I'm just an old man yelling at clouds. -
Just a quick IQ test.. 1+8 pro modded with Linos Mevis 25mm f1.6 c mount lens as prime lens and Sankor 16C 2x anamorphic. It was recorded at full res RAW and since my 2015 computer cannot handle 4k I downgraded the rendering at 1920x720 2:67 aspect ratio. -
I forgot the Sigma 28-105mm f2.8… Combine that with the S1RII in hybrid zoom mode and there are two very useable crops the first being 147mm which if memory serves is around 18mp the second being 210mm at around 12mp so both very useable for stills use. The Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 also makes for a very compact lens and with the same crop factor, 98mm and 140mm. Shoot Jpeg + raw, the crop only applies to the Jpeg…I think but with video, it’s a proper punched in crop. 4k only though. Doesn’t work in 6k or 8k modes. As things currently stand…but anything could happen within the next 6 months 😉 my plan is to pick up the 28-105 as an outdoor lens to complement the 28-70 as my indoor lens (mainly stills but some hybrid use each) and the new LUMIX 24-60mm f2.8 purely for video on my other S1RII. That latter lens will be more like a 29-73 with the combo of settings I am using (5.9k 50p + standard electronic IBIS). Perfect focal range for my run & gun needs 👌
