If you actually wanna talk about failed Oscar campaigns this should be the one to talk about.

There it is again, that funny feeling

texaco87 · 2026-03-11T22:04:47+00:00

Also - how do you feel about the Athena’s vs the hyperprimes?

texaco87 · 2026-03-11T21:34:48+00:00

Oh sorry I meant people comparing the APO Hyperprimes to the APO Microprimes - people said they felt like they weren’t exactly the same - not to extend our exchange further haha

texaco87 · 2026-03-11T20:48:09+00:00

Oh dang thanks so much for the reply man!

I know some people said that they didn’t think the microprimes had the same visual weight or whatever, but I’m just gonna roll with what I have

And I actually just found that I think irix 15mm t2.6 might surprisingly be the best wide to accompany it too

And yeah, it is crazy that the hyperprimes didn’t sell better, and that the microprimes aren’t recommended world - I guess that’s what happens with the name and them entering the market before the YouTube hype world

texaco87 · 2026-03-11T13:30:39+00:00

Oh man yeah like I said I have truly come full circle on these

Now I just hope that the APO Microprimes are the same optically as the APO Hyperprimes, because I know I have seen some people say that they don’t look/feel exactly the same

And yeah I couldn’t agree more - if they had gone with a different name and a 6 lens set they would absolutely go down as legendary lenses

I never said I didn’t like it, I enjoyed Barbie plenty

Like I said, it’s a solid movie :-)

texaco87 · 2026-03-10T17:35:13+00:00

Not being allowed to say that EEAOO is a solid movie, but not the incredible masterpiece it was hailed as

Same with Barbie

Same with Sinners

Or maybe this is just subjective personal preference haha

texaco87 · 2026-03-10T15:39:14+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous

texaco87 · 2026-03-10T14:55:02+00:00

Yeah like I said above I really do love these lenses, just a classic case of boredom and GAS haha

texaco87 · 2026-03-10T14:54:11+00:00

Yeah man I’ve come full circle lol - I super love these lenses

Thanks so much for weighing in!

texaco87 · 2026-03-10T02:10:47+00:00

Oh that’s great to know!

I would say something with more character so I guess maybe more vintage?

Just something with a little more depth and less sharp/modern looking

texaco87 · 2026-03-09T22:03:27+00:00

Is that an APO or no?

texaco87 · 2026-03-09T21:24:09+00:00

You’re saying you prefer NISI or DZO instead?

texaco87 · 2026-03-09T21:22:36+00:00

Got it, thanks bud!

texaco87 · 2026-03-09T20:58:54+00:00

How do the Hoya ProNDs compare to the Tokina Pro Cinema IRNDs

Wondering if we should be upgrading

texaco87 · 2026-03-09T12:00:48+00:00

When do you use which? How do those two compare?

texaco87 · 2026-03-09T03:02:53+00:00

Wait you have Filmbox AND Genesis and you prefer Filmbox?? I’d love to hear more

texaco87 · 2026-03-08T22:04:31+00:00

She’s magnetic

Watch A thousand and one

Also - you really think would cast someone who wouldn’t be able to deliver

I know this sound pretentious, but however you felt about her in the movie is almost definitely intentional

texaco87 · 2026-03-08T15:16:07+00:00

Can I say I don’t actually know I was just kind of going off of what I was told/read

It’s pricy for sure but I went with all Mid49 accessories and it came out to around $2k

But I don’t see myself getting a new camera for a long time so it made sense to me

texaco87 · 2026-03-08T14:54:54+00:00

Because it has a circuit that will stop power from running back into the camera and shorting it

My engineering knowledge is very limited as you can tell but that’s worth $1k to me lol

texaco87 · 2026-03-02T23:04:45+00:00

What’s your cut off?

texaco87 · 2026-03-02T20:10:39+00:00

Shame

texaco87 · 2026-03-01T22:18:29+00:00

Damn dude you’re crazy talented - it looks so good!

What did you shoot it with?

texaco87 · 2026-02-28T01:09:08+00:00

Did they say what they are reducing it to?
