I have experience with 5D as still photographer. I have waited for HDSLRs to progress for film, and now upgrading to 5Dlll for filming documentary films. I am looking at Zeiss CP.2 and the Canon cinematic lenses. I have no experience with these cinematic lenses. I have been reading about differences between still and cinematic lenses, however, I have not seen any comments about using the cinema lenses for still photos.
Any opinions about whether the Zeiss or Canon cinematic lenses would also give excellent results as still photo lenses? I know they are manual lenses, and I am use to using manual lenses. Thanks for any thoughts by anyone using these lenses. Also, any thoughts on preferences for Zeiss or the Canon cinematic lenses.
