>>2940926>implying django isn't shot on film and sharp afalso you can't compare lens flares to sharpness. if the flare is wanted it is a specific kind of information which might be hard to reproduce.
decreasing information by lowering sharpness however is very easy.
and film wasn't a softer medium per se. a 64mm film has more lines to resolute than most aps-c sensors.
I think you misunderstand de facto sharpness with sharpness impression. this is exactly what I was talking about. the 'cinematic look'(tm) contains actually a lot of information. but it is not pulled out by psycho-visual sharpening filters which give the impression of sharpness while actually destroying information. tho this filters are still needed when the footage is swamp. so to get the real look you need very sharp lenses to get the level of detail without the need of working around. .. remember that 'cinematic' is made for cinemas. you need crisp details on such a large (and kinda washed) medium.
your claim zeiss primes wouldn't be used by top-tier dps is lacking evidence anyways and I don't believe a second that these and other 8k >20k$ primes are made for hobbyists who does not know better.
