Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted December 6, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted December 6, 2014 This isn't really true. DPs use all kinds of glass all the time. Modern MFT lenses out-perform 50 year old cinema glass quite easily. Stills lenses can be of extremely high quality. Saying that a camera is worthless because you don't have a 'Movie' lens on it is ridiculous. I apologize, I was not referring to the glass itself, but to the electronic controls our modern Micro 4/3rds glass has. These "aids" make using modern glass annoying because focus isn't repeatable and iris control is done through the body. My point was, if you're stuck to using menus on the camera to control the glass and there isn't repeatable focus, then it doesn't matter what camera body you have. It's the same for modern DSLR glass, which is why I won't get near the stuff with a 10 foot pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
