What makes cine lens preferable to photo lens? Is it the focus smoothness?
I read somewhere the film makers need focus rings with large spiky teeth so they can connect as cogwheels to larger spinning handles and that way control the focus more smoothly.
That and clearer classification of T-stops. Something that should already be standard in every lens if you ask me.
A cine lens should have no focus breathing.
And for pros different focal lengh lenses within a set have the same measurement and the same positions of the focus/aperture rings in order to exchange the lens without losing time for adapting the rigs.
See Zeiss CP and CZ line – it’s a $4000 to$10000 pricerange per lens :/
So disappointed that my curiosity led me somewhere dull…
I followed the link to ‘Tips for Blazing Car Photos’ and not one of them was on fire! Just dull pictures of cars I will never own…boring!
The 24mm and 50mm showed no focus breathing.
The 35mm has a bit breathing.
And the 85mm has a little bit breathing – see here:

An interresting new Diffraction Filter Array is described in todays Imaging Sensor World blogspot.
It would provide 3x the light and better color fidelity than the filters currently used in bayer arrays.
