4 years later and I have the same questions. I own 3 Sigma art lenses, all EF mounts, and I’m struggling with the comparison of these lenses to Cine and anamorphic lenses.
in the Cine lenses, there are in 2022, several distinct price points in this category.
$1500 gets your Irix and Siuri
$4000 steps you up to Canon, Sigma, Zeiss
the next levels go from $10k to $100k
to me, the game is trying to see the future. 4K is standard now. Alpha1, Z9, R1 are all full frame cameras that can record in some format of RAW, and BMPCC6K is the choice to scale down to 4k in post. The point being you should get every photon available with your lenses.
I don’t think it makes any difference with TikTok videos, but I want to future proof my production.
waiting for the R1 to drop.
my only question now is RF or PL mount in what ever Cine lens I commit to using?
