Fun stuff. How did you find the distortion? The walking shots definitely showcase the swimming edges pretty heavily but it didn't seem noticeable on any of the dolly pushes towards the subject. Overall, especially for the price they look like great lenses. I just wish the 125 was also at least a 2.8
good work!
Unbelievable image at this price point for sure…but this short was awesome all by itself! Great work!
Wowowowow
