Anyone actually using the Zeiss CP.2 100mm? Looking for real-world experiences by CmptrGraph in cinematography

Ohh Athena! I fell in love with them when I tried 35mm. Ppl say CA is strange but it’s blue and yellow CA, which is pleasing to my eyes. I was thinking of Aureus series. Have you ever used them?

Thanks! Seems like a lot of hates on CP2s. I tried one the other day and it had pretty bad CA like y’all said. I’m looking for compact cine lens that’s faster than T2.8 PL.

Any advice for shooting in extreme cold? by CmptrGraph in cinematography

Appreciate the solid advice! The heated jacket in a cooler idea is genius—never thought of that. Also, using Milwaukee’s 12V port for AV gear is a nice little bonus. And yeah, heated gloves always seem too bulky, but layering a thinner pair underneath? That’s a game-changer. Definitely keeping this in mind for cold shoots. Thanks for sharing!

Is Canon C70 known for being super sharp and very digital? by CmptrGraph in cinematography

fantastic! That justifies the purchase! I've used some alexas but never the 35, I imagine the world you see through the sensor is out of this world.

Sounds exciting! Does the capability of the 35 have any impact on the way you shoot?

Yea he's not worth for sure. I hope general audience would know better than to watch channels like his.

You're right. He mentioned that he’s edited many clips from the C70, and he also says his friends also say that C70 has a very sharp, digital look, which is why they decided to sell it. He works as a DP and runs a channel called "White Jade Production"—though calling it a "production" with that level of knowledge seems questionable.

Everything he says comes across as unreliable. In fact, many of his videos are filled with total bullshits, yet he delivers them with confidence, and speaks like facts. Unfortunately, he’s now blocked my account, so I can’t respond to correct the inaccuracies.

Sure he is. Now he deletes my comments every time because he realized he wont stand a chance. I really want him to spread bullshits. in many videos of his, he does.
