00:00:19.339 --> 00:00:25.620
For me, the coolest thing about this lens is the glass, the colors,

00:00:25.620 --> 00:00:30.100
the way it works with direct sunlight, the specular light coming through the elements.

00:00:30.100 --> 00:00:35.060
The colors are beautiful for something that small and sleek. It’s really nice.

00:00:35.060 --> 00:00:40.219
In terms of the prime lens game for wide lenses,

00:00:40.219 --> 00:00:45.820
it would probably be the first one I go to because of how sharp everything is.

00:00:46.500 --> 00:00:52.219
I really liked being able to have this very artistic old-style lens

00:00:52.219 --> 00:00:55.219
on a modern body that I am more used to using

00:00:55.219 --> 00:00:58.939
and seeing what kind of images I could create with it.

00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:02.460
Sometimes I’m shooting with my body more than I am with my eye.

00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:04.540
I know that with the 17 mm focal length,

00:01:04.540 --> 00:01:08.060
this will capture everything I need to tell within that frame.

00:01:08.540 --> 00:01:11.980
And it also makes it more personal, because you are closer to the subject,

00:01:11.980 --> 00:01:14.099
rather than being far away like with a telephoto lens,

00:01:14.099 --> 00:01:18.579
or you can take a step back and capture more in the frame that you normally couldn’t.

00:01:24.099 --> 00:01:31.099
I really enjoyed the effect of the lens when I was a little bit below our model

00:01:31.099 --> 00:01:33.900
and the sky was much more dramatic.

00:01:33.900 --> 00:01:37.140
It just really gave a much more dreamy quality

00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:41.819
this kind of soft but also vibrant look to the photos.

00:01:42.219 --> 00:01:46.340
Working with it at chest level, it never dipped down,

00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:50.980
it just sat perfectly in the middle of my chest pointing straight ahead,

00:01:50.980 --> 00:01:54.260
to the point where, with infinity focus,

00:01:54.260 --> 00:01:57.260
I could record from the hip really, if you will.

00:01:57.540 --> 00:01:59.579
I was able to be really discreet.

00:01:59.579 --> 00:02:03.859
I really like the lens flares that I was getting playing with direct sunlight.

00:02:03.859 --> 00:02:06.939
I thought it was fun and easy because it was so light

00:02:06.939 --> 00:02:11.659
to move around and get really high-resolution videos.

00:02:11.659 --> 00:02:14.180
I preferred the wheel not having the clicks,

00:02:14.180 --> 00:02:17.419
it’s just this really simple glide to the aperture wheel,

00:02:17.419 --> 00:02:21.099
so I thought that was really fun and I was able to work quicker honestly.

00:02:21.099 --> 00:02:24.780
I used it a lot for slow motion,

00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:28.460
I was filming a lot at 60 frames per second and I was really impressed.

00:02:29.259 --> 00:02:32.460
I think one of the advantages of using this particular kind of lens is

00:02:32.460 --> 00:02:36.020
that you can really you know, get into tight spaces if you are trying to capture a scene.

00:02:36.020 --> 00:02:41.340
The depth of field preview I thought was one of my favorite parts of this particular lens

00:02:41.340 --> 00:02:45.740
when you have your aperture previewed you get to see what the distance is

00:02:45.740 --> 00:02:51.060
and how you’re gonna shoot, without having to look through your viewfinder.

00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:54.780
So, I think that’s what makes this lens very special and makes

00:02:54.780 --> 00:02:57.379
it a very good tool to a photographer’s arsenal

00:02:57.379 --> 00:02:59.620
this is really great for shooting from the hip.

00:02:59.620 --> 00:03:00.740
This lens would be great,

00:03:00.740 --> 00:03:03.780
especially going down to f/2.8 is definitely going to work in your favor,

00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:08.539
even in a very low-light situation, it’s going to gather all the light that it can,

00:03:08.539 --> 00:03:10.900
and it’s going to perform very, very well.

00:03:10.900 --> 00:03:11.819
It looks incredible.

00:03:11.819 --> 00:03:16.900
It got a classic look, that in my opinion, never gets old.

00:03:16.900 --> 00:03:19.939
So, what you find with other wide-angle lenses is a lot of distortion,

00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:22.500
straight lines become curved,

00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:26.340
and with the Atoll lens, you don’t find that basically at all.

00:03:26.340 --> 00:03:28.580
You won’t be disappointed using this lens.
