The Best Budget Cinema Lenses in 2023

prebooked nisi athena 😍

Dang dude! Great video.

Hello bro, could you please review the Nisi Athena Cine lenses

I agree with the opinion about Irix with one big caveat; Irix Cine 21 mm has not any internal thread, you can not even use magnetic filters on that. Therefore you can use it only with the matte box. Irix offers its own matte box, but it turnes out, that it is causing vignetting on this particular lens.... So finally you can use only standard matte box with big 4x5.65 filters.

I really want to get a set of those IRIX lenses. They look awesome. Also, many thanks for the shoutout bro!

Thanks for the great suggestions, Brandon! 🙌🏾

Killer video bro, I wish you would've put links in the description so I didn't have to google lol

Hi Brandon, i have almost the full Canon RF L line-up for photographie (including the 28-70 F2), but i'm considering a cinema lenses (like the IRIX) for my video production. Does this have an interest ? Or should i stay with my Canon RF lenses ? Thanks

I’m curious-have you done a video on why you use cinema lenses or cinema vs photo lenses? Or maybe the benefits you’ve found using cinema lenses.

Sirui nightwalker!!!!

Have you tried Zeiss Milvus lenses? I'm blown away by the rendering but I wish it had gears.

Also, I didn’t know about MPB until a few months ago when I was looking to finally upgraded to the Red platform and I absolutely love this website and those guys they are awesome and I will definitely be ordering from them in the future

I wanna try out the Xeen kit on my raven I keep hearing great things about them

Love MBP, have both sold and purchased used gear with them, and they seem pretty reliable. Great business model.

The only drawback is they tend to not buy/trade offbrand items. Stuff a lot of small filmmakers on shoestring budgets tend to buy because its less expensive.

They wouldn't even make an offer on a used Tascam recorder in excellent condition, nor my two Godox 160w LED cobs, also in excellent condition. In short, your gear better be name brand. Not sure how either Tascam or Godox doesn't fall into this category, but there you have it anyway.

Good overview, but how is DZO not on that list?

Rokinon 24mm & 85mm Cine 👌🏽

I can vouch for the IRIX lenses. Incredible value. Too bad they suck at filling the rest of the set.

What are your thoughts on the Nisi Athena primes?

I’d add the vespid primes to this. Thanks for this video

Yes! Finally! Thanks for this one.

How about doing a video on the RED Komodo -- operation, rigging up, media, capture options, lenses etc, overall cost

Just got my Zhongyis coming Monday 🙏🏾🙏🏾 loved their FF line

I picked up a set of the Sirui Nightwalker Cine lenses $899.00 for the set of three. Great starter set.

Video production equipment can be expensive 😅😅 thanks for the video and tips.

OP. Really? I would not have thought of this!!!!
