Raymond Zrike Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Even though I’ve rented cine lenses (mostly CP.2) in the past and have used others on set, I’ve always owned only still/photos lenses. I’ve always put UV filters (specifically B+W brand) on every lens I have—makes me less nervous about cleaning the glass in the case of a smudge or dust, and if it gets scratched up, it’s easily replaced. Also, I’ve read that UV filters help when shooting film, even though I’ve never noticed a difference with digital (convo for another day). But I’ve just brought two super 16 Zeiss super speed Mk. II which I don’t think have front threads. The fronts have 80mm diameters. Are cine lenses always left bare? Is there any way to protect them besides the lens cap? I like to shoot out in the world (i.e. encountering elements occasionally), so is a matte box the only solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Uli Meyer Posted February 6, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted February 6, 2020 Yep, a matte box with an optical glass filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Zrike Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Alright, that’s what I figured. I guess my budget matte box search will commence. Thanks for the confirmation of my suspicions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
