>>430780199% of famous le fashun photographers and cinematographers are often happy to just grab an off the shelf first party lens that fits on the nearest camera and take photos with it. They will gladly forego elinchrom and profoto lighting gear and use godox and even god forbid meike and brandless shit with plug in strobe kits found at estate sales because the elinchrom setup was just what the rental place had and 99% of what makes their work is their crew of assistants and their own directorial talent.
As long as gearfag fanboys like you don't see it until after you've seen them with some brand they're on the "artists" marketing page for!
Hoytema could have filmed interstellar on an fx3 with sigma zooms and you'd still say it looked amazing.
Disagree? Quantify what makes speshul lenses speshul, no photographer required.
