thanks JH, you will only see a slight difference when shooting stills wide open, footage like this, I would say they are indistinguishable, this might change once we start shooting raw and 4k.
both lenses are relatively soft wide open (stills) once you stop down to f2 they sharpen up quite nicely, the softness won’t affect portraits and shallow depth of field applications, you will mostly see it when shooting landscape or architecture, but you wouldn’t shoot that wide open to begin with

Stupid question in 3…2…..

First off let me just say I LOVE these both. I just got cinestyle yesterday, and look forward to testing it out. Is there a huge difference between using the canon 50mm 1.2 L and the Zeiss 50? (told you it was comiing) I’d imagine there is, just trying to figure out how to get footage as sharp and crisp as this without having to go out and buy a Zeiss.

thanks Sandy, shot a grainy high res video with my android phone- dark sky during a storm with lighting (creates nice flicker) then overlaid and played around with transparency values
