Cinema lenses
In today's ever growing digital camera market there is one thing that hold true to their value and never become outdated. They almost age like a fine wine, but also with each new revision get better and better. I am talking about lenses and cinema lenses in particular. This is the year I will be updating the arsenal and diving into a full fledged cinema lens kit. All of my research and constant obsession of looking at test after test I believe I have narrowed down the package. Zeiss had updated their compact prime line with the introduction of Zeiss CP.3s. If you know anything about lenses then you know the name Zeiss is the leader of the pack since the beginning. I can't wait to put these bad boys to the test. If you want to hear more about them or hear more about how it will separate your project from the rest give me a shout. Below is taken directly from their website:
Digital technologies have transformed traditional filmmaking and refashioned the market. New and innovative technologies in both production and post-production have paved the way for a more versatile, cost effective and advanced workflow.
