Shooting a Feature Film using the Canon C300 Mark II Part 3 – Canon Cine Lenses

Shooting a Feature Film using the Canon C300 Mark II Part 3 – Canon Cine Lenses This is the third of four parts of my full in depth review on the camera gear I used to shoot my feature film, the indie comedy “The Hollywouldn’ts.” Part 1: In depth with shooting a feature film on the C300 Mark II Part 2: Shooting with the Zacuto Recoil Rig and the Gratical HD Viewfinder Part 3: Shooting with Canon Cinema Zooms vs Canon Cinema Primes Part 4: Shooting “Night for Day” with the C300 Mark II. In this part I take up what it was like shooting the film using the Canon Cinema Zooms and Cinema Primes. What I don’t cover is much of the technical specs that you can read about on the Canon website, you know the usual: yes it has stop markings on the barrel, smooth geared focus and aperture and zoom rings, distance markings, number of optical elements, etc. What I do talk about is what my experience was with these lenses and if they would be replacing my usual set of Zeiss .CP2 compact primes on my shoots or even be used instead of a set of Arri Super Speeds. Also, Canon sort of challenged us to shoot the feature using the zooms and I have to say that I was extremely nervous about this going in. I’ve usually had a zoom handy on anything I’ve shot, but shot almost everything on a fast set of primes. So I knew that this was going to take some adapting to especially since as fast as these zooms were, they still maxed out at f/2.8. Also a link to a fantastic (and far more to the point and pragmatic review) from Tim Fok on the camera itself: https://www.cinema5d.com/depth-canon-...
