CINEMA 85 has been in development for quite a while (about 2 years). With CINEMA 85, our focus has always been to develop an independent prime lens system that’s both faster (f1.8) and sharper than CINEMA 58 and miles ahead CINEMA 29. We believe that we’re very close to achieving our goal and would like to share some test footage that was shot with a Canon 5D MKII and a prototype build of CINEMA 85.
These tests were shot with a single variable aperture and no optical coating. As the title suggests, we haven’t corrected the footage. The colours and details that you seen in the video is what the lens captured natively.
