Would mixing different brand lenses be too obvious? Hello, I have 3 different lenses for my Arriflex 16S. A Schneider 10mm f1.8, Schneider 16mm Xenon f1.9 (the old version from the 50s) and a Cooke Kinetal 25mm t2.0 which I haven’t tested yet in comparison to the other two. I personally really like the 16 and 25mm focal length so I would shoot 95% of everything with those lenses. I understand that the Kinetal is a bit warmer than the Schneider but I imagine that color correction could solve that problem. Here is a frame shot on 200T with the Schneider 16mm f1.9 closed down to f2.8 And this was shot at F4.0 where the lens get surprisingly sharp. I would like to know people’s opinion on this or if someone’s had a similar experience with matching different lenses. Greetings, Ivan Dimitrov
