Andrew Payne Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Hi all, if you've shot with this lens, what are your thoughts about it (good and bad)? If anyone has a link to footage with this lens that they can share, I'd be interested to see it.
Stuart Brereton Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Do you mean the Cooke 20-100 t3.1? If so, it's a lovely lens, built like a tank, and exhibits that 'swirly bokeh' that people seem to like so much once you get past around 85mm
Wiliam Cardoza Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Giray - lady in the white dress ~ creepy. Not to get off topic but did you do a quick day for night shot there towards the end? BTW love that lens.
Giray Izcan Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 I did. Thank you. I shot it on Fujifilm Eterna 500t and Eterna Vivid 250d.
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted May 24, 2016 Premium Member Posted May 24, 2016 One con might be the size of the image circle, which is only slightly larger than 28mm diameter at the wide end, just barely covering 1.78 in S35. The front rectangular mask sometimes needs to be removed so as not to vignette. It's a large and heavy zoom, definitely not hand-hold friendly. Getting a bit old in the tooth, but mechanically very well made, and relatively easy to service.
Giray Izcan Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 I shoot s35. The front matte is removed, and have no issues with any aspect ratio.
tim ottowitz Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 I wonder if there is any way to rehouse the lens into a lighter housing. This lens is so beautiful. We once did a test with the rear anamorphic dapter, absolutely gorgeous.
Ignacio Aguilar AEC Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 I've always thought this lens is not as fast as it claims, maybe due to yellowing glass elements. It looks to me around T3.5 in reality. It's quite good in terms of performance, a bit sharper than Speed Panchros indeed, with great flares, but needs 6x6 filters, bridge support and shows heavy geometrical aberrations at both ends (pincusion being very evident from 80mm to 100mm or so). Bear in mind it's hard to rent and not very practical these days of handheld shooting with Easy Rigs, etc.
