>>4380317>a single, tiny 0.1mm glass element can completely change the look of an image>it can change the color tone of the image, shapes, add/cut reflections, change shading, change color gradient levels and even add effects such as halos>arguing whether or not a whole ass lens can produce a more realistic image than the otheryupppp this guy gets it
DOPs, cinetogs and high end photographers across all fields, literally choose different lenses for their visual properties but there are still idiots that will say for example a Nikon 80mm and a Sigma 85mm will produce the exact same, undistinguishable image :DDDDD
for example film directors will all literally refuse to shoot a scene if they dont like the way the lens makes the image look and they will swap lenses until they find the lens that works best for the scene. for example Lubeski used 20+ different vintage lenses such as Helios 44, on top of 10+ zeiss cine lenses, to shoot Dune 2. why? because they all end up in a different render of the image. but despite that some people are dumb enough to look at that, see the fact and still claim their sigma lens is no different than the other guys zeiss lens. i will never understand these people and how their brains work. maybe my 126 iq is too low for their huge cosmic level intelligence to be able to understand their 4D logic.
main point being; well made glass is not like sigmas window glass that they use for their lenses but some people cant seem to grasp that fact.
capitalism, profiteering and consumerism is slowly killing the very little that is left of photography. most modern 3rd party lenses are shit. so are most first party lenses.
