Zeiss Paved The Way, But Companies Didn't Learn (Planar vs Modern)
Zeiss made the best lenses for many years, they got bored of it they were so good. Modern glass is not the same. They focus on obtaining the sharpest brick wall pictures corner to corner, because that's what you hobo photographers test in your review videos. Meanwhile, real glass has character. Let's do a Q&A comparing my new Zeiss Planar 85mm f1.4 to some other legendary vintage lenses like my Canon EF 85mm f1.2 mark i, and flat garbage like the Nikkor Z 85mm f1.2 S and 85mm f1.8G lens.

The Shocking Lack of Affordable Wildlife Primes (In Depth Discussion)

What is up with the lack of affordable wildlife primes?! Most companies have these super expensive telephoto primes for $20,000, but what enthusiasts are buying those for squirrel footage? I much prefer primes to zooms, and there are only a few companies who are starting to make telephoto prime lenses. What's the best wildlife prime that fits anyone's budget?

This Budget Wildlife Prime Will BLOW YOUR MIND! $369

I can't believe how good this wildlife telephoto prime lens is. The budget $369 TTArtisan 500mm f6.3. Using it on the Nikon ZF in 4k 60fps with a crop, and HD 120fps. Image how good this would be on the Z6 III? This is probably sharper than the 180-600mm f5.6-6.3, and way cheaper than the 600mm f6.3. It's only flaw is the lack of image stabilization and the stiffest manual focus ring you've eve...

    There are some who feel walking barefoot on the ground beneficially discharges the body, reducing free radicals in the body, among other things. Now, on the 3d pop thing, most people do not have lenses that have/show it, so they don't have an idea of what it is. Your effort to show it in your videos and let people know what lenses will produce it is commendable. Bokeh, sorry, Toneh, is not character.

    About the 3d pop thing of that Nikon lens: I don't see a problem there. That guy who it's about for some part in the video bought the lens, he is happy with it and talks about some 3d pop. All that stuff reminds me of CD audio vs. mp3 which was a big thing some decades ago. People said "I can tell you the difference between a 320 kbps mp3 and CD audio right away!" Blind tests showed though that there just was no audible difference. But still... to each his own, right? If the guy who loves his lens for the 3d pop, then why not? Maybe I'm overseeing something and he has just better eyes. I think we just shouldn't say things like "he just doesn't get it, but i do!" Who cares in the end? The tech has become so good in the past years that I think this shouldn't be so much anymore what it's about. Rather the story and stuff... I don't know

    Hi, I would use the Voigty 58 more often for those videos. It is actually my preferred portrait lens. Those 85s cause too much compression and the whole thing looks contrived. By the way, to my eyes the Canon has more pop than the Zeiss.

    The Nikon 85 1.8 had more 3D pop and smoother bokeh than the canon 1.2 with its soap bubble bokeh. Maybe because it has no aspherical elements and the canon does.

      There is. I have a ZE 28mm F/2 Distagon and a ZE 50mm F1.4 Planar (no gash in front element) on the best camera Canon ever made. (EOS R) There are many RF to whatever adapters. If you get ZE lenses (not ZF or CY) you can use the EF-to-RF adapter. If you want to use a CY (Contax/Yashica mount) or ZF (Nikon F mount) you can get an adapter to stick it on your EOS R (why would you own anything else?) But you won't have the focus guide.

I think there's a time and place for unnatural-looking scenes with a razor thin focus plane, but it's annoyingly overused in scenes where it makes no sense. Let's stick with F5.6, people.
