Agreed! That 35-105 is quite a lovely rendering lens. I like primes for the speed mostly but was looking at the angenieux, leica r, and contax 35-70s(or there about) So not opposed to zooms. The old topcor 58 1.4 renders in a way that Im looking for. The pentax looks like it renders in color, saturation, and contrast a bit like the nikon 35 1.4 ais/af-d The color photos from this guy, render quite wonderfully, tho it looks like he is using quite a thin depth of field, but with the leica m6's max shutter of 1/1000 i cant imagine, in day light, that it was shot wide open, maybe with filters tho. The lenses used in these were voigtlanders. rangefinder of course changes the game a bit. film is vision3t. https://www.flickr.com/photos/25825073@N04/ Thank you chaps greatly.

Hello all, I'm a student, embarking on a project to shoot cinematic stills. The film stock will be vision3. The cameras are nikon f2, topcon exa mount, and a icarex m42 mount. I would like to imitate the look of Cooke lenses but surely dont have the money for actual cine lenses. Im not opposed to zeiss's cooler look either. I dont know how my that lenses effect colors, outside of the coating, Im ignorant of a good amount of technical bits of what absolutely the lenses can effect other then sharpness contrast and the color effect of coatings. My question is what lenses will deliver a good cinematic rendition. I understand that the lenses can only deliver a cinematic look as long as the lighting,composition and scene are on par. With that said, alot of cinema I have seen, doesnt depend on ultra sharpness, so Im not hellbent on razor sharp if the lens renders wonderfully. Many of the scenes will be darker lit so Ill be looking at a bit faster lenses. Prefer to shoot wide angle 25-35 maybe 50 for portraits. I have a few lenses Im looking at but thought I would see what more knowledgeable folks had to say about it. Thank you
