\/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n<p>At first sight all threee lenses look the same and there are indeed many similarities: the long focus throw of all lenses is 270\u00b0, they share the same filter diameter of 82mm, focus and aperture rings are in the same positions.<\/p>\n<p>But there are also a few notable differences: all aperture rings have slighly different steppings, f\/11 for example needs less rotation on the 50mm compared to the other two lenses.<br \/>\nWhile 35 and 85mm both use 10 straight aperture blades the 50mm uses 12 rounded ones.<br \/>\nThe resistance of the focus ring is very similar across all three lenses, but the aperture ring is stiffest on the 85, softest on the 35 and the 50 is inbetween.<br \/>\nThe 85mm is a fancy internal focus design, the other two are simple unit focus designs.<\/p>\n<p>The mechanical quality feels good, but after having used these lenses for only a short time, I cannot tell you anything about their long term durability.<\/p>\n<p>Also don&#8217;t be fooled by the big casings, the lens elements are not bigger than those of typical still lenses with similar specifications:<\/p>\n<figure

no effect. The difference in opening between T2.0 and T2.8 is roughly what is to be expected though, so this seems to be a purely mechanical issue.<\/p>\n<p>All lenses focus a bit behind infinity and true infinity was never right at the mark.

\/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As said before the 35mm and 50mm are both traditional unit focus designs, so focus breathing was expected. I thought the 85mm may behave differently due to being an internal focus design, but the amount of breathing is the same as in a unit focus 85mm lens (I compared it to the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/rolling-review-zeiss-loxia-85mm-2-4\/\">Zeiss Loxia 85mm 2.4<\/a> to verify).<\/p>\n<h2>Color Balance<\/h2>\n<p>This is not a chapter you usually find in my reviews, but for a set of Cine lenses I find it rather important. When having such a set I would not only expect the focus and aperture rings to be indistiguishable, but also their colour signature.<br \/>\nUnfortunately this is not the case here, as you will see from the following comparison.<\/p>\n<p>What I did here is shooting all 3 lenses with the same white balance value dialed in (when shooting stills I usually use auto white balance). I also shot all 3 lenses side by side under the same light, all set to f\/8.0. I cropped the 35mm and 50mm to give the same field of view as the 85mm, so they are more easy for you to compare.<\/p>\n<p>I set the white balance using the 85mm, so this looks most neutral. The 50mm has a slight magenta teint compared to the 85 whereas the 35mm has a huge green hue.<br \/>\nSo quickly changing between these 3 lenses may work from a mechanical point of view, but if you are looking for the same colour output the white balance setting needs to be adjusted.<\/p>\n<div class=\"osc-res-tab tabbable   osc-tabs-left\"><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"nav

#tablepress-61 from cache -->\n<p>When seeing the big casings of cine lenses many people think the glass elements are also bigger in diameter and that will lead to lower vignetting figures, but usually this is not the case.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly the 35mm 2.0 shows the highest Vignetting figures, especially stopped down where it is still almost 2 stops. The 50mm and 85mm show noticeably lower vignetting and in both cases it should hardly be a problem even at wider apertures and hardly noticeable from T4.0 onwards.<\/p>\n<p>Generally this is an average performance, similar to still lenses with comparable specifications.<\/p>\n<div class=\"osc-res-tab tabbable   osc-tabs-left\"><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"nav osc-res-nav nav-tabs osc-tabs-left-ul\" id=\"oscitas-restabs-5-review-7artisans-35mm-50mm-85mm-2-0-spectrum-cine-90765\"><li class=\"active\"><a href=\"#ert_pane5-0\" data-toggle=\"tab\">35mm<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#ert_pane5-1\" data-toggle=\"tab\">50mm<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#ert_pane5-2\" data-toggle=\"tab\">85mm<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"tab-content\" id=\"oscitas-restabcontent-5-review-7artisans-35mm-50mm-85mm-2-0-spectrum-cine-90765\"><li class=\"tab-pane active\" id=\"ert_pane5-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34846\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7A_35_2.0_Spectrum_Vig_Graph.png\" alt=\"7artisans cine spectrum fullframe s35 16:9 35mm 2.0 50mm 85mm bokeh sharpness flare vignetting gears handling build quality\" width=\"1026\" height=\"766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7A_35_2.0_Spectrum_Vig_Graph.png 1026w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7A_35_2.0_Spectrum_Vig_Graph-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7A_35_2.0_Spectrum_Vig_Graph-800x597.png 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7A_35_2.0_Spectrum_Vig_Graph-768x573.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1026px) 100vw, 1026px\" \/><\/li><li class=\"tab-pane \" id=\"ert_pane5-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34847\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7A_50_2.0_Spectrum_Vig_Graph.png\" alt=\"7artisans cine spectrum fullframe s35 16:9 35mm 2.0 50mm 85mm bokeh sharpness flare vignetting gears handling build quality\" width=\"1026\" height=\"766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7A_50_2.0_Spectrum_Vig_Graph.png 1026w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7A_50_2.0_Spectrum_Vig_Graph-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7A_50_2.0_Spectrum_Vig_Graph-800x597.png 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7A_50_2.0_Spectrum_Vig_Graph-768x573.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1026px) 100vw, 1026px\" \/><\/li><li class=\"tab-pane \" id=\"ert_pane5-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34848\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7A_85_2.0_Spectrum_Vig_Graph.png\" alt=\"7artisans cine spectrum fullframe s35 16:9 35mm 2.0 50mm 85mm bokeh sharpness flare vignetting gears handling build quality\" width=\"1026\" height=\"766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7A_85_2.0_Spectrum_Vig_Graph.png 1026w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7A_85_2.0_Spectrum_Vig_Graph-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7A_85_2.0_Spectrum_Vig_Graph-800x597.png 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7A_85_2.0_Spectrum_Vig_Graph-768x573.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1026px) 100vw, 1026px\" \/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n<p><em>It is recommended to have a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/vignetting-graphs-explained\/\">this article<\/a> first to get an idea how this brightness graph works.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What is also surprising is the very low vignetting stopped down, by f\/5.6 it is hardly noticeable anymore.

no real surprises here when it comes to the amount of optical vignetting and none of the lenses is making use of aspherical elements, so onion rings are not an issue either.<br \/>\nThe different aperture constructions are very noticeable when stopping the lenses down to T2.8 though: the 50mm uses 12 rounded aperture blades, so the highlights are mostly round at T2.8, the 35mm uses 10 mostly straight blades leading to more edgy highlights and the 85mm uses very &#8220;sharp&#8221;, <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/rolling-review-zeiss-loxia-85mm-2-4\/\">Loxia-like<\/a> aperture

Usually this is not a category where 85mm lenses struggle, not even cheaper ones like the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-viltrox-85-mm-f-1-8-stm-af-pfu-rbmh\/\">Viltrox 85mm 1.8 AF<\/a>.<br \/>\nBeing the only lens with an internal focus design among these three it might also be harder to manufacture or more prone to a change in flange focal distance than the other two.<\/p>\n<p>For cine usage it should also be considered that hardly anyone films in 3:2, but usually 16:9 and in that case the performance in the extreme corners is hardly relevant. Furthermore we usually deal with much lower resolutions.<br \/>\nPersonally, I think for something like 4k in 16:9 the performance in this category will be sufficient, but it is certainly no match when compared to (way) more expensive cine lenses.<\/p>\n<h3><b>portrait distance <\/b><b>(42mp Sony A7rII)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>For portraiture it isn&#8217;t so important how flat the field is, it is more

contrastiest of the three, at least in the center and midframe.<\/p>\n<p>The 50mm is less contrasty, but it doesn&#8217;t really matter where you place your subject, the performance is very even across the frame.<\/p>\n<p>The 35mm is the weakest of the bunch, if you place your subject in the outer midframe area it might be advisable to stop the lens down a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Again there are two things we should consider: the high resolution of the A7rII compared to 4k and the more typical 16:9 aspect ratio for video. The latter makes it rather unlikely that the subject will be placed close to what I showed as outer midframe area here.<\/p>\n<h2>Flare and Sunstars<\/h2>\n<p><div class=\"osc-res-tab tabbable   osc-tabs-left\"><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"nav osc-res-nav nav-tabs osc-tabs-left-ul\" id=\"oscitas-restabs-9-review-7artisans-35mm-50mm-85mm-2-0-spectrum-cine-65014\"><li class=\"active\"><a href=\"#ert_pane9-0\" data-toggle=\"tab\">35mm T2.0 @ T5.6<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#ert_pane9-1\" data-toggle=\"tab\">50mm T2.0 @ T8.0<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#ert_pane9-2\" data-toggle=\"tab\">85mm T2.0 @ T8.0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"tab-content\" id=\"oscitas-restabcontent-9-review-7artisans-35mm-50mm-85mm-2-0-spectrum-cine-65014\"><li class=\"tab-pane active\" id=\"ert_pane9-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34920\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7a_35_2_Cine_Flare_Sunstar.jpg\" alt=\"7artisans cine spectrum fullframe s35 16:9 35mm 2.0 50mm 85mm bokeh sharpness flare vignetting gears handling build quality foucs breathing\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7a_35_2_Cine_Flare_Sunstar.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7a_35_2_Cine_Flare_Sunstar-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7a_35_2_Cine_Flare_Sunstar-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/li><li class=\"tab-pane \" id=\"ert_pane9-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34925\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7a_50_2_Cine_Flare_Sunstar.jpg\" alt=\"7artisans cine spectrum fullframe s35 16:9 35mm 2.0 50mm 85mm bokeh sharpness flare vignetting gears handling build quality foucs breathing\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7a_50_2_Cine_Flare_Sunstar.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7a_50_2_Cine_Flare_Sunstar-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7a_50_2_Cine_Flare_Sunstar-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/li><li class=\"tab-pane \" id=\"ert_pane9-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34930\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7a_85_2_Cine_Flare_Sunstar.jpg\" alt=\"7artisans cine spectrum fullframe s35 16:9 35mm 2.0 50mm 85mm bokeh sharpness flare vignetting gears handling build quality foucs breathing\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7a_85_2_Cine_Flare_Sunstar.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7a_85_2_Cine_Flare_Sunstar-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/7a_85_2_Cine_Flare_Sunstar-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><em><span style=\"color: #999999;\">Sony A7III | 7Artisans Spectrum Cine lenses<\/span><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I have the feeling in the videography world lens flares are more often used for artistic purposes, so I tried to show you what the lens flares typically look like with these three lenses.<\/p>\n<p>The 35mm shows a very obvious purple\/blue streak around strong point light sources.

I would expect not only shared gear positions and diameters, but also same aperture diaphragms and especially same color rendition.<br \/>\nWhen it comes to the focus and aperture rings these expectations are met, but neither for the diaphragms nor the color rendition.<br \/>\nWhen using a set of lenses for a production I wouldn&#8217;t want highlights to sometimes look very edgy (85mm) and sometimes almost round (50mm). And what is the benefit of a set of cine lenses over some random lenses when their color rendition varies significantly?<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the lenses separately the 85mm is the strongest performer in my opinion. Its contrast is higher than that of the other two, bokeh is nice and the minimum focus distance surprisingly generous for an 85mm lens. And it is even an internal focus design.<br \/>\nThe 35mm is the weakest. Performance at T2.0 could be a bit better as could be bokeh rendering and vignetting is also on the high side. It shows a very characteristic blue flare, if that is something you are after.<br \/>\nIn terms of performance the 50mm sits somewhere in between the other two.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you are a videographer
