Here at Duclos Lenses we’ve devised this somewhat satirical guide for buying new cinema lens. Take a gander and see what lens you come up with. Post your results in the comments and five winners will be chosen at random at the end of the week to receive some cool lens geek swag including shirts, hats, cleaning kits, etc.
This guide is all in good fun, but if you really do want some professional advice, contact Duclos Lenses.

Rokinon Cine Primes ! 🙂
Nice! Great bang for the buck.
Zeiss CZ.2 28-80mm
Can’t beat that 35mm Full Frame image circle. Now if Zeiss could just deliver these faster…
Fujinon 75-400. Figures I choose the one that’s $100k. 🙂
That’s a beast of a lens. Probably one of the few telephoto zooms out there that can compete with proper cinema prime lenses. Well done!
Angenieux Zoom. Win.
Full frame zoom makes the choice easy; Zeiss CZ.2 28-80mm. Now who’s gonna build a Fujinon style servo handle for it?
There may very well be a solution for this soon. Keep your eyes on this blog for any details. NAB is right around the corner.
I was hoping you’d say that…
“But Daddy… I don’t WANT to look like all those B-4 girls!”
(Canon 17-120)
First run got zeiss zf cine mod (which I own) second project got angenieux 24-250
I was looking for a a set of primes for the F65, went down the chart and came back with the Zeiss CP2 primes. That’s what I had ordered. Should be in later this month!
Zeiss CZ.2 28-80 f-mount for me! Full frame is such a curse.
Voigtlander primes, but second run through as Rokinon. Dunno how long I’ll actually be on M4/3.
Schneider Xenon FF Kit EF Mount – Booyah!
New Canon 17-120mm Cine zoom. It’s the lens I’ve been pining after for two years and the wisdom of your excellent “take EVERYTHING into account” flow chart gave me spot-on validation!!
This is AWESOME Matt! Thanks
Xenon FF PL!
I ended up at Xenon FF PL
Angenieux 56mm-120mm
Schneider Xenon FF. Now to just man up and place the order…
Zeiss CZ 1.2 15-30 MM.
Leica Summicron-C. I am allergic to wheat. Great fun Matt!
Hi! Such shame there ain’t anything for Sony Alpha:( do you some suggestions for lens/lenses I would rock when shooting Parkour? High tempo sport, lots of running and jumping. This will be first for cinematography lens and first I was thinking about the sony 50mm f1.4 but then my friends who have more experience told me f1.4 is very hard to manage in shooting video so now I am pretty much in the starting point. Any ideas?
Email reply would be great! Thanks!
