Hey, great! Which one of the Vivitars is the rebranded super wide II? Unfortunately on the Sigma Focus throw between 3m and infinity is also ultra short,

 

Hi, just looked and it is actually a Promaster 28mm f2.8 - not a Vivitar! Its supposed to be a rebrand of the Sigma mini wide II ... Good long focus throw

Yeah, I'd agree that if you can go up to a c100... Canon really has the best colour for me, except maybe an Alexa or Red - and can just look so right out of the box. With all the proper video features of a c100 - if you can stretch to it then that makes alot of sense. I do love Blackmagic but they have that "DIY" factor... where the C100 seems to be robust, reliable, technicologically mature and makes great footage!

Cheers @boxtree ! Yeah settings for this vid were....

Natural Picture Profile

Noise Reduction -5

Sharpness -3

Contrast -3

Saturation 0

 

Given its only 8BIT I wanted to retain as much colour information as possible so didn't touch the saturation.

 

For colour grading just some light corrections in Speedgrade and added a sharpen mask in PP. That's it, pretty simple workflow and I like the picture it pumps out without needing to shoot flat.

I'd knock the sat down at least -1 as the panny's still seem to clip colours a bit.. great looking footage though! I liked it alot

My Vivatar f2.8 (rebranded Sigma super wide II) has about 270 degree focus throw..

It's not perfect, but really amazing - especially compared to any other brand. Really usable, but it does really chew through the power..

I can only recommend this lens. Pricey, but good reviews.
