LangISback Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hi there, I'll make a music video in a couple of weeks and I have a choice of either using an Angenieux 12-120 or a Zeiss 10-100 T3. I'd like to know if any of you know how this two lenses compares. Are the image quality really much better for the zeiss 10-100 T3?, how do they match? thanks very much! :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Salzmann Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 The Zeiss is far sharper and contrastier. Only Angenieux zoom for std. 16mm is the 9.5-57mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Andino Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 The Zeiss lens is by far superior to the Ang. 12-120 In fact most people believe the 12-120 to be the worse Ang. zoom lens around If you got some money I'd recommend the Canon 8-64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Nathan Milford Posted February 3, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted February 3, 2005 I own both. Use the Zeiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LangISback Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 Thanks a lot for your posts!, I will use the Zeiss then! (I kninda supposed the Zeiss is better but I am no expert and I've never used one before, so I wanted some confident opinions from you guys). :) But now a different question: There are some focus changing shots and I've read somewhere that the Zeiss is a heavy breather, So i was thinking of using a 50mm nikon for still 35mm cameras. Do you think images from both lenses will intercut well? I have an option on using a 50mm old Arri Shneider too. Do you think it would be better? thanks again for your posts!!

cineshooter Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 If you are looking to avoid the lenes breathing then you will definetly want to avoid the ang. as for the zeis (I've used the T2 and it had a macro) to avoid the breathing problem, tryusing the lenes macro focus to do your racking or focus pulling it doesn't always work but when it does it helps out tremendously. As for your SLR lenses are you sure they will work, I'd recommend a test before you commit to that, sometimes they will mount but the focus plane is not the same as your SLR and that's no good.... Good luck, JD www.cinehooter.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Andino Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 My filmschool professor had (probably still has) a great answer For most of those if I do this and I do that will it work question... SHOOT A TEST I recommend you test out the Nikon lens with the Zeiss And test out the Schneider with the Zeiss and see which one you like. The Zeiss 10-100 T3 does breath a bit but so does the Ang. 12-120 So you're options aren't that great, but do the best you can If you light it well and you compose your shot you'll be able to get good images It'll look better than Mini-DV regardless of the lens As for using SLR lens on a Movie Camera it depends on the camera I know that the Aaton cameras are able to handle Nikon lens I dunno about the Arri's or Eclair Anyways good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jukka sillanpaa Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 What do you say about Kinor's 10-100 mm (16 OPF 12-1) comparing Zeiss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Salzmann Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Eclair ACL's will handle Nikon lenses with the proper adaptor. Avoid series E Nikon lenses at all costs. Also the faster Nikon lenses are less snappy than the faster ones which you will be the most tempted to use. Of course if you are finishing on video you can tweak the contrast a bit.

J. Lamar King IMPOSTOR Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I avoid the issue by virtue of the fact that I love lens breathing and other "lensy" artifacts. I would also go with the Zeiss though, it's a better all around lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cineshooter Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 when you start messing around with different lenses you can really have some fun (yeah, I know my wife has already said it, but to me its fun) just remeber the 35mm lens placed on a 16mm camera will give the angle of view of a 16mm lens with double the 35mm's focal length (35mm lens focal legth 50mm will act like a 16mm lens with the focal length of 100mm) God luck JD www.cineshooter.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Pacini Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 "... 35mm lens focal legth 50mm will act like a 16mm lens with the focal length of 100mm) God luck JD www.cineshooter.com <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think not. It will "look like" what a 100mm lens looks like on a 35mm STILL CAMERA, which by the way, is not what a 100mm lens looks like on a 35mm motion picture camera, since the frame size is much smaller than a 35mm still frame. A 50mm lens is still a 50mm lens. Matt Pacini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
