Testing different lenses on the Canon 5D mkIII. No color correction or grading was performed. First sequence has no post sharpening, second sequence has post sharpening at 60%. I wanted to over exaggerate the sharpening to see how much noise would be added to the footage.

Keep in mind, it’s a simple and UN-scientific test, just seeing what these lenses I own would be capable of.

Lenses used:

Canon 24-105mm f/4.0 L Series
Canon 50mm f/1.4 FD
Nikkor AF 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5D ED (FX) (TYPO in Video)
SIGMA NIKON 70-300mm F4-5.6 (Cheapy Lens)

This test has some pretty good lenses and not so pretty good lenses, that was the point to test which lens would stand it’s ground
