Premium Member Max Jacoby Posted February 2, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted February 2, 2004 I haven't shot with them, but last week at Arri Munich I put them up on a lens collimetre (sp?) and they were sharper than Cooke S4s and Zeiss Ultraprimes... They are heavy (can't really use them for steadicam or handheld), but they are nearly as fast as primes (T2.2) and can be shot wide open. Stanley Kubrick used them on 'Eyes Wide Shut' if I'm not mistaken. If you like the way they look and don't mind the weight, they are just as good as primes. They also come in an LDS version.
