Using High Quality Lenses On Video Cameras
Video cameras are used to record video, the quality of which determines the effectiveness of the camera. There are many ways to maintain a high level of visual fidelity when using video cameras, and the best way to do this with an existing camera is to use a high quality lens.
High quality lenses offer many improved visual elements. One of which is better visual contrast over all imagery, which includes fewer colour fringes around object’s edges (chromatic aberration).
Another improvement is the higher resolution that high quality lenses offer. Tiny details become clearer and brighter especially at the edges of the image where all lenses have imperfections, also straight lines will show less curvature (geometric distortion).
‘Aspherical’ optics are particularly finely crafted to maximize light transmission, hence impressive F0.8 capabilities. Infrared in daylight and electric light can focus in a different place to visible light thereby defocusing your image. IR-corrected lenses can reduce this effect.
