2.3 Bokeh / Color rendition – Bokeh / Rendu des Couleurs

From a specifications perspective, the Zeiss Otus is the most expensive one whereas it is a MF lens. The Sirui is very similar in specs but cost 4 times less !

The TTArtisan is a very small lens and cheap but do not intend to be a high end cine lens

The Thypoch is the lightest one and one of the smallest but price is higher than the Sirui

The Samyang MF cine lens is quite old and outdated

D’un point de vue spécifications, le Zeiss Otus est le plus cher alors que c’est une optique MF, Le Sirui est très similaire mais coute le quart du prix !

Le TTArtisan est une petite optique légère bon marché mais qui ne cherche pas à rivaliser avec les meilleurs

Le Thypoch est le plus léger et un des plus compact mais son prix est supérieur au Sirui

Le Samyang MF cine est une vieille optique assez datée

  • Le Thypoch est peut être le moins neutre avec une légère teinte jaune

4.6 Video

The Sirui T1.4 has one of the best results in video in terms of color rendering , flattering portrait and nice flare effects

The Sony 50mm f1.4 GM is excellent but show focus breathing (compensated automatically) with excellent ergonomics and image quality

The Zeiss Otus has very good results but is a little bit less convenient for ergonomics and has an important focus breathing

The Thypoch is overall a very good lens for video but the Sirui is a little bit better and cheaper

Le Sirui T1.4 est celui avec le meilleur résultat en vidéo en term de rendu des couleurs, portraits flatteurs , douceur du bokeh et beaux effets de flare

Le Sony 50mm f1.4 GM est excellent avec une excellente ergonomie et qualité d’image mais un focus breathing important (compensé automatiquement)

Le Zeiss Otus a de très bons résultats mais son ergonomie est un peu moins bonne et il soufre d’un important focus breathing

Le Thypoch est globalement très bon en vidéo mais le Sirui est meilleur et moins cher

4.7 Conclusion

The Sirui 50mm T1.4 is an well balanced lens for video , it provides a “fresh” look to your images with very natural color rendering, flattering portrait, nice sharpness, very good bokeh and very good ergonomics for video all that at a very decent price (649$). Its only drawback is the not as soft as expected background blur at long distance (for full size body shoot)

The Thypoch (967 euros) , is the lightest and one of the most compact , it provide overall very good performance but a little bit below the Sirui that is a little bit better on all points except weight and size

The Zeiss Otus is a very good lens in absolute term and the best MF you can find , but the price of 2300 euros is outrageous as not matching the Sony 50mm f1.4 GM (1700 euros) and just matching the Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG DN (969 euros)

Le Sirui 50mm T1.4 est une optique très bien équilibré en vidéo. Elle produit de très belles images en terme de piqué, rendu des couleurs très naturel, bokeh, flare artistique et donné un rendu “frais” aux portraits, le tout à un prix très raisonnable (649$). Son seul point faible par rapport au ténor est son manque de douceur du flou d’arrière plan à longue distance (portrait en pied)

Le Thypoch (967 euros) , est le plus léger et un des plus compact , globalement les performances sont très bonnes mais en dessous du Sirui qui est un peu meilleur sur tous les points sauf sur la talle et le poids

Le Zeiss Otus est une très bonne optique dans l’absolu et la meilleure optique manuelle que l’on puisse trouver, mais le prix est outrancier car il fait moins bien que le Sony 50mm f1.4 GM (1700 euros) et juste aussi bien que le Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG DN (969 euros)
