135mm 2.8 15 blade Preset Prime -M42 mount - AKA: The Bokeh Monster on a Blackmagic Design Cinema Camera EF
Configuration: Captured in Raw 2.5k
Colour Graded in Davinci Resolve 9
Edited in Premiere Pro CS6
DI codec: Cineform
Apologies for the clichéd plants/flowers shots - did not have access to a willing subject at the time.
Video File:
The lens does not focus to infinity on my BMCC or 5d Mkii - the first shot goes through the entire focal range, so you get a good idea of what it can do.
The lens has a smooth aperture and long focus throw - perfect for video. It has a 15 bladed aperture which allows for a very beautiful smooth bokeh even when stopped down. This lens is often referred to as "the Bokeh Monster" - because of just how lovely its bokeh is.
On the BMCC, the lens acts like a 307mm compared to how it would look no a full frame sensor.
This lens is branded as a Pentacon - but contains Zeiss optics and design - and is very solid in construction.
