🚨Sirui Astra AF Tests - what shall we test now? 🔍
DROP A COMMENT AND LET ME KNOW ⬇️⬇️
is raising the bar once again. First FF anamorphic with autofocus. I tried to create this reel so you can experience what we have felt while shooting. Dynamic and static footage with the actual camera monitor being recorded.
What I’ve noticed:
1) AF is pretty solid though the set, on the FX-3 we couldn’t spot much difference with other Sony or third party lenses performance
2) camera setup is crucial for a good performance, depending on shot and light condition you may tweak AF speed and response to get the best
3) flaring is cool even if sometimes it may mess up with the AF performances (as for any other lens but being sometimes very prominent is important to keep this in mind)
4) full aperture is handy on low light conditions while pushing the camera performances to the edge sometimes
5) no back n foward focus has been noticed while using the lenses
6) AF performances haven’t been affected while using NDs while (off course) may be if using strong promist (more test to come, not surprised though)
Hope you’ll find it helpful.
