As you stated, if you're on a shoot that costs $25K+ a day then totally the Cookes. Some other reasons for renting expensive anamorphic glass like the Cookes for people to consider are the ability to have an entire set of focal lengths; currently there are 10 focal lengths available in the Cooke anamorphic set + a zoom lens available. You also have much longer focus throws which make the 1st AC happy and more durable housings, unique characteristics and distortions, the flaring is a lot different and of course that 2x squeeze factor makes a big difference in how you compose shots, how much you can see left to right of the frame while being able to gain the advantage of a longer focal length depth compression. All that said I think it's great that companies are coming out with affordable options and options that are more single user friendly. We really live in a world now where the technology is overall so good all around that it's really up to the individual artist to take advantage of it all and be good. Lighting is also so overlooked by people. You did a great job recreating the shot and no matter what lens you put on there, it's not gonna enhance a single shot enough to perhaps warrant the cost difference. Only when you're shooting dozens of shots a day for weeks or months on end will you truly notice the difference in more expensive glass and cameras. So for the no-budget filmmakers out there, use what you got and master those tools.

The video perfectly confirms my recent thoughts about expensive and cheap lenses, that 99% on KZitem will not see the difference between them. And that 90% of success lies in lighting, color correction, sound and history. And only the remaining 10% are camera body, complex camera movements and lenses. And I'm trying to say that very expensive equipment will not automatically make the picture very professional.

It reminds me of those tests when the Canon 5DMark II came out. In a studio setup and with the same lens the Canon 5D mark II was "as good as" an Arri Alexa. But of course those comparisons will fall appart with no studio lighting. Same with those lenses here. I think the people on twittel voted for the "cheap lens" because the actor in that frames has his head turned and it has more depht, mor tecture, more wrinkles in the face. I am also not sure if twitter is the best optiojn for comparison. and you have to see images in motion. Not just a single frame. But it is true. You pay a lot for the last 5% percent. I love blackmagic cameras. I like braw and 13 stops and all. But it will never be an Alexa. But you definitely can get close if you do a side by side video.

Verses the bottom picture. Where the mans face is turned more to his right. Causing less light to hit the shadowed areas. Resulting in a more darker look. With more deeper redness on his face and nose.

It's important to note that the listed 1.6x anamorphic is listed in 3:2 open gate, so a 1.6x anamorphic lens on a 16:9 sensors is equivalent to a 2.0x anamorphic lens with a small crop, which also helps soften the image up. This is another reason to buy this lens over the 1.33x anamorphic. Sony has these really annoy gaps in their software in their cameras that appears like they are trying to protect their cinema cameras.

If you're not noticing significant differences, consider switching the display you're watching on. However, I personally can see distinct variations between the two lenses. In the Sirui lens footage, there's a noticeable elongation of the subject's nose with some minor optical distortion, whereas the Cooke lens footage appears more natural with a striking 3-dimensional effect that's hard to describe. Additionally, the Sirui lens seems to stretch the subject's chin and ears, which can be attributed to optical characteristics. If you have an understanding of optics, these differences will become more apparent to you. Overall, great video as always.

ON Test itself it's almost the opposite Sirui is sharp focus is on chin beard and mouth even the tip of the nose not out of focus. For Cooke focus plane must be so shallow it seems to be focused is ON behind corner of the mouth and eye iris. Cooke overall focus is softer. I don't know if it's the optics Cooke better in dark shades you can see eye iris color is visible.

You also need to take into account the squeeze factor and how much of your sensor is getting cut out compared to the Sirui to match the same aspect ratio. Your image may not even be getting softer due to the lens, but due to the crop imposed on the cameras sensor. However I do agree! I feel there are things way more important things when it comes to increasing the production value to a video than lenses, and renting such an expensive set of lenses, I feel, only makes sense when you are able to allocate more money to things like lighting, production design, locations, camera, etc. Great video!

Very entertaining video. As others have said Bladerunner was shot on Panavision lenses ( Super Panavision 70 Lenses(special effects)Panavision Panaflex Gold, Panavision C-Series and Super High Speed Lenses). These lenses can’t be bought but only rented. Panavision lenses are IMHO the best anamorphics on the planet, end of story. Their look is unmistakable and magical, particularly the T series but also the C series. The other set that comes close are the Atlas Orion lenses. Those guys know how to make lenses. That being said I do own the Great Joy 50 &35 mm. The new 1.33x Viltroxes also look great too as do the forthcoming Mercury series from Atlas. So what I’m saying is if you compared the Panavision to the Siriu I doubt anyone would prefer the Siriu. But a great video nonetheless. Look forward to more.

Use a Cooke ana with an Arri sensor (assuming you get everything in focus) with good design in front of the camera and expose right and light well and you'll get a good image... on small budgets these lenses make absolutely zero sense when you could afford 2-3 more crew members per day lol.

Not to bash the Cookes but you can’t really compare them to the lenses Blade Runner was shot on. It was shot on the C-Series which is probably the most vintage anamorphic set you can shoot on without getting distracting. The Cooke anamorphics are pretty modern, they still have lots of character but they’re very different from the Panavision look. So are the Siruis. And you can’t really add the same kind of softness you get from old anamorphic astigmatism in post. Obviously set design and lighting are much more important than lenses to replicate a look but when it comes to nuances there is a difference between old and modern looking anamorphics. Something like the cheap SLR magic Anamorphot 1.33 50 comes much closer to the look of the C-Series than either of the lenses you’ve used. Especially when used on the right taking lens. And it’s below 1000 bucks.

The Cooke’s are different in size & weight, but the aperture ring & focus ring are in the same position. The same is true for the sirui lenses, so I can’t give the Cooke any credit for that! As for focus breathing, they both have it :)
