From TCSTV: “If you’re a low-budget or independent filmmaker, chances are that cinema lenses are out of reach for most products. Veydra is attempting to rectify that with their Mini-Primes, beautiful lenses made for Micro 4/3. But have to many compromises been made to make them this size and cost?”
Veydra MFT lenses are available at BHphoto (Click here).

WOW! I never thought that I would say this, but the over-priced $31.99 Olympus lens bag was way more exciting that this post! 🙂
The size and price advantage of MFT is undisputable, although there is hardly anything else supporting choosing MFT. A bigger camera will not 100% always have bigger potential: better IQ, more features, more battery life etc.
I think my MFT is sharper than a FF, I am not unhappy with the choice I made, am I? ( I can surely surely live with the limitations) : /
Pretty interesting intro into the cine-lenses.
The “breathing”-less focus/zoom is a nice feature. I wonder how much does it cost – in terms of the lens design. (So far, it seems to be the only unique feature of the cine-lenses.)
plus clickless aperture ring… reliable marking.. long focus throw… uniform thread and filter size… smooth zoom/focus ring… calibrated T stop… Match image characteristic.. every little things added up in video production 🙂
Also: low vignette, low aberration and low distorsion are more important than sharpness.
Not a nice “feature”, a necessity for professional use. But the CA issues sort of eliminate this as an option for me.
just bought usd60000 worth of cameras and lenses from Sony and Amazon, check the crazy deal on SAR!!!
Verry interesting, because we will se faster 10 bit-onboardcodec cameras from Pany+Co
if they want to sell us in the 1300,-$ range anything, and not look over the fence, why the
lowcoster BMC MINI 2 ( next year/ gets the “0ld” 4k sensor…oh my good!:)-will use this
Lenses ( and others) but nobody wants to buy 2016 the next loop made by Pany+co.
The Insustry startet the 4k-show, so now ( 3th year of that)- bring all fine ideas in real
to us- and not next joke. If not others will do.. and if they can lenses, also other cameras
from new manufacteurs can gon in. If there is not the permanent Smartphone-zunami…
( SONY crys loud the 1inch 4k music to the show…)
You can not hold production and forms of new technologies with only 1000 sold bodies.
Not for the players, not for pany+co+canon+rest of the pack…
Will use this lenses first on my mft-adpter for 2,5k bmc..old cow.. 🙂
Pany was on my radar-but they did it not..( the new camcorde is too expensive and the lense
is waste for the fine 4/3 4k machine behind!! ) by..see us net year same place same new
rumors….
most popular cam for low-budget filmmaker is the FS7 from Sony now, according to dvinfo
The chromatic aberration alone has unsold me completely.
I wonder if CA correction profiles are available in video editing packages?
Veydras were specified by a person with a brain, designed and implemented consistently as a system, and actually not overpriced compared to the rest of the market – what a wonderful trio of qualities so rare in new releases these days!
Maybe they should have painted them in different colors to help to distinguish them quickly. Nothing that cannot be easily fixed. 🙂
And then your order was cancelled.
I ee there is a Pro kit in EU for 2999€
E-M1 + 12-40mm + 40-150mm.
Pretty good. they just need to add 7-14mm and TC and sell it for 4100€
