GLM editorial assessment
Rendering notes
These are qualitative selection notes. Evaluate the exact lens version, focal length and aperture on your intended camera.
Use cases
- Backlit scenes with deliberate flare
- Low-light full-frame narrative work
Tradeoffs to test
- The flare is part of the lens design and needs lighting tests.
- The 18mm uses a larger 114mm front than the 95mm 21mm.
02 / Before the shoot
Plan a lens test
Test the focal lengths and apertures you expect to use. Check the center and edges, move a light across frame, and pull focus through your planned working distances. Include skin tones and the lighting conditions from your shoot.
