good call but I’m going to say something that’s admittedly will sound completely crazy.

I think you should consider some of the CCTV lenses that means lenses that were originally made with a security video camera in mind some of the affordable ones f 1.4 from Hong Kong sells for about 30 bucks and let me tell you this one of my favorite lenses...!

that sounds completely crazy but following for these c-mount CCTV for let me tell you it really does an amazing job: shallow depth of focus, very high performance in modest light, tiny bit of vignetting in the very corner, but somehow it gives a really pleasant effect and also the as far as video ring at night reflections are street lights there is an amazing effect a bit like an anamorphic lens on one of the experts on these CCTV lenses is named knit Sun on the facebook group, frugal filmmaker

I’ll take on crazy ideas and even come up with one once in a great while that works. The rest, well never mind.

I read the frugal film maker from time to time and get ideas or get a refresher on stuff I used to do or heard about. Glad it is there.

Thanks again.
