>>3067815>>3067816Yes. I know. Those are for broadcasting, I could go into why we use zooms for almost every single camera in a broadcast but it'd be lengthy and I don't feel like arguing about that.
>Have you even seen a broadcast lenses before?That's what a broadcast zoom, iris, ect controller looks like dork. Did you really think that I was calling that controller a lens??
>>3067837Never said he was right about those things, but everything he's been saying so far about element counts is the truth. You can't compare old low-element count vintage lenses to newer high-element designs. Unless you like shooting uninteresting flat images.
Besides, what kind of technologies do you think have changed in fixed focal length lens making in the past decade or so? Nothing, nothing at all. Other than sticking more 'advanced' autofocus control in the barrel and repackaging the same designs, along with a handful of new mounts, there's hardly anything thats changed. Really hardly anything you could improve on in the first place anyway.
