Quick C100 Test

Plus, the 17-40 is parafocal.

My "kit" of C100 lenses includes…

17-40 f4L
70-200 f4L IS
24mm f1.4L II
85mm f1.2L II

You might wanna fast 50 L to round them primes out. Or adapt some Leica R to your new machine.

I've got both the 35L and 50L, but I don't carry them with me unless I know I'm going to need them.

And been there, done that on the Leica R lenses. I put together a complete cine-modded set, but ended up selling them. Great glass, but many of them (even the Summilux) were too small to set up with a follow focus/mattebox.

I have the 35L too, so which one do you think is better as a "normal" lens for the C100? Lot's of people say get the 50L (yes, it's a fantastic lens!) but with the crop factor wouldn't the 35L suit better?

 

[Stephen Mick]

If I had to choose one, I'd choose the 35L no question.

I have the 24-105 L and most of the shots from the Currumbin Beach video (https://vimeo.com/54214611) were shot with that. I also have a 35mm L and used my friends 100mm macro.

I think my next one will be a 70-200 though I'm a bit torn... the f2.8 or the f4 with IS... ?
The IS on the 24-105 worked really well and the difference between f2.8 and f4 on the C100 might not be a big problem considering it's awesome low light capabilities.

The sample looks good. The camera handles the highlights pretty well in the late day sun on the water.
