The 20x, although awkward to manually focus, is a pretty nice lens - some CA, which has been talked about often here, but not as bad as you might think from some of the posts - I just finished a commercial in SD that will be distributed nationally to Rape Crisis centers - I shot with the 20x in B&W and it is really pretty stunning. I was surprised at how good it looked (B&W often looks like crap in video).


Hi Steve.

Did you set up the camera to shoot B/W or correct in post. If the former, I would be interested to know your settings.
