Being myself an Otus 85 owner since 2015, as soon as i saw the CA issue appear at 1:36, i am shocked. We are in 2024, and there is still so many fringing issue appear at wide open and it cost more than $3900 each. hmmm..

@SamGossner Ай бұрын

I am shocked this isn't a larger point of discussion, thank you for being at least one other person to comment about this. The fringing & LoCA is so jarring in all the footage. These NP's have characteristics and rendering almost exactly like the Cosina-Voigtlander Noktons I work with daily, which are an achromatic design as opposed to the apochromatic Otus and Supreme Primes (or Cosina's slower f/2 APO Lanthars). Cosina is of course a Japanese OEM for Zeiss responsible for assembling many of their manual focus lenses including Otus, so I would not be surprised if they are actually responsible for assembling the Nano Primes. There appear to be some noticeable improvements in vignetting and field curvature vs. Noktons or Zeiss' Classic Planars but the difference very much does not seem worth $3000 extra. Based on the pricing of the Noktons, Zeiss Classic Planars, and Milvus, these are basically roughly $1000-1500 lenses in $3000 housings. Nowhere even close to the rendering of Otus or Supremes full open. They could have easily corrected CA much better here; it's not like partial dispersion glass is that rare or expensive anymore...

Another fantastic video - thank you! I don't love this shift to making mirrorless-only cine-lenses (but I get it) - it's great to see that the mounts will be interchangeable as I'm sure anyone investing in these lenses - even at the relatively lower price point will want the freedom to move to other camera systems. Would be interested to see how these compare to other "modern-look" lenses like the Athenas as well.

@user-nr5wx7md4d 4 ай бұрын

Another great review form you guy's at CVP. I would love to see the Zeiss Nano primes compared with the Canon Cn-e primes. I think these lenses are the most closest competition to the Zeiss Nano primes. As the prices are very close the fact that Zeiss has paid particular effort to colour matching the set and the super fast speeds of an average T1.5 of the lens set. I think that most people who are thinking of buying a set of primes in the near future will be interested in the comparison of the Canon Cn-e and the Zeiss Nano.

@romanaldaine6210 I don't see where this is a problem? The huge price difference is the key factor, why a comparison is so interesting. Those old and well knows companies like Zeiss and Cooke are often times really, really expensive for not that much better of an optical quality. You always pay 100% more for maybe 5-10% “better” image quality (if any). But it would be interesting to see, how each lens performs and where the shortcomings are. But those new Chinese companies are giving Zeiss and Cooke a run for their money…

@kinoromantic 4 ай бұрын

@@Apatura123 As someone who rented Zeiss CP optics as well as their compact zoom options I have to say that the biggest difference for me is in the highlight rolloff. Expensive Zeiss lenses are much more pleasing to look at, and skin and shadow transitions do not look as harsh with them. Colour wise you’re paying for consistency and that’s coating. With that being said, cost isn’t everything and one of my favourite lenses in my kit costs 20$ and modified with focus gears and filter adapters and is an Industar 61 L/Z and that one gives my cimmoded Zeiss Jena DDR and even Leica R that cost 20-40 times more a run for it’s money.

@davidfraiden8008 4 ай бұрын

Can’t wait for a Cooke sp3 vs nano comparison. This seems to be the first time lenses of such high quality have been offered by Cooke and Ziess. Aside from the fact that they’re both not PL mount, it seems to be a no brainer when comparing to the mini s4 and cp3. What am I missing? Did the game just shift to more affordable really great prime sets?

@jasperbruijns7449 4 ай бұрын

Interesting, but I wonder what they would offer me over, lets say a set of Sigma High Speed Primes with cooke i Data. Both clean and sharp, t1.5 and 95mm front diameter. Seems nice to test them though on a project to find out.

@jasperbruijns7449 4 ай бұрын

I never liked the greenish flares and a little bit less breathing would be nice, perhaps that is what they could sell it over the sigma's. but a PL mount is a insurance feeling to be honest.

@docbenway0 4 ай бұрын

I think you're right that those lenses are pretty comparable. I'm not sure that one is clearly better than the other. Just comes down to preferred look and mount availability. Part of the idea with the Zeiss set is obviously to have a kit that matches other Zeiss lenses, obviously, so it may be a good choice as a "house" set for small production companies that sometimes rent lenses for larger productions.

@JalaGames 4 ай бұрын

its great seeing the new budget, now mid range to high end! without peeping too much there are so many similarities! comparing the nanos against the otus lenses would be nice. Since an otus set is around 13k then cine modding them would likely be cheaper or similar pricing. it might be worth while seeing the characteristic similarities or differences. especially since the otus (plus modded otus) lenses have more mounts than the nanos atm.

@heartshapedfilms 4 ай бұрын

Immediately thought of the Cookes when you started this review! Though I am not sure its an easy comparision - I can almost see the outcome of the Ziess being cleaner more acurate with a more neutural image and the Cookes looking less clinical and have more of a vintage look, i'd say for an owner operator myself now that the cookes are more appealing as i dont have crews and having a shorter throw, though the cost difference speed and larger range of the Ziess makes them a very tempting offering. I also wonder if these are made in Germany as the Cookes arent made in Leicester. Very well done guys.

Seems like this is a broad industry trend. Even just 20 years ago, no one would personally own a cinema grade camera, and only a few DPs and companies owned cinema lenses. Zeiss came out with the CP2s in 2012 to serve this new price-sensitive owner-operator market-- I'd think Cooke is only now following them. And both companies are newly trying to design lenses for a mirrorless world.

So these are very much Zeiss cp4s, but they decided to rebrand as nano primes instead of continuing the Compact prime brand. Makes sense since cook also called their’s Sp3s Honestly the cp2s from Zeiss were solid, and had some super speed; even ‘budget’ the zeiss lenses are so sharp I always wind up with filters on them, they are just too clinical left clean for my taste.

The 24mm and 100mm need some work in terms of being up to par with the others in the set. Perhaps you didn't get great copies or maybe this is a widespread manufacturing issue. The skewed flare of the 24mm is unacceptable, I would reject that lens. The 100mm has way too much magenta fringing. Other than that, these lenses are amazing for the money and might be the new Otus killers since they appear to have smoother rolloff. I still love Otus's though for performance in resolution and optical consistency. I would say Otus are optically superior but these Nano Primes have some nice characteristics in their flaws. Also, Nano are made in Japan so they are kind of a budget Zeiss in that regard.
