FINALLY!!! Got my Canon mounts and just tested the hell out of it!

[Lee Saxon]

NOTE: I matched a $540 Canon 50mm 1.4 up against a $12,000 50mm Arri Master prime today...
Quite literally could not tell the difference in RCX... Even at 800%

And that's far from Canon's sharpest lens. Makes you wonder what that extra $11,500 gets you...

Great post!

Mark I'm a new Scarlet owner (on the way) and on a very tight budget. It's a Canon mount so I need your help to recommend 2-4 lenses I can buy to start. Doing documentaries and interviews. Any details you can spare will help me along! Thanks

I would say a good place to start is the Canon EF 16-35 f2.8L ll , Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L and the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2. For run and gun I would get the Canon 24-70 f/2.8L ll and the Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS ll.

Garo the Canon EF 16-35 f2.8L II it is not parfocal. Just an information that you need to know.

Yes you are right Alexandros.. The 16-35 is not parfocal. But yet still a very nice practical wide lens and very sharp!

The 70 - 200 F2.8 was the over all winner for ZOOMs. It just did everything good. Sharp everywhere, AF system work well (considering its a ZOOM with lots of glass to spin around)
Sharpness, Easy 9 out of 10 even with Variable ND's on.
The lens stabilisation function is what go me... Un believable.

mark wich exact model of the 70-200 F2.8?
