Fun fact about the chromatic aberration on the signature primes vs other lenses: when bending light for out of focus areas in the foreground and background, the usual wavelengths are magenta and green as we know. but, on the signature primes, they designed the optical formula to have the wavelengths of light be blue for background and amber for foreground, which are a lot more natural looking. You can tell this in the testing you did, actually
@seanlefloch
Thank goodness for this in-depth review. I was on the fence between the signature primes and the G Master, and this just cinched it for me. Thank you, Gerald!

Of all the reviews, and all the years I have watched your channel, THIS is hands-down my favorite review. So rare is it for us mortals to really get to see what makes $30+K of ARRI glass so incredibly special. And that projector melted my brain...
@falxonPSN
I was going to buy this lens, but the lack of image stabilization totally killed it for me.
@kayjaylin
I quite like this comparison between the ULTIMATE and something premium. It gives a lot of context and perspective to the reviews. I think we get so much into the pixel peeping, spec sheet battling, this vs that battle, that we lose perspective. This gives perspective that we are looking at the wrong things quite often.
@benjhaisch
So what you’re telling me is that photo lenses have actually just gotten incredibly good.
@ddgarage7025
Lens projectors are so cool to use. Back when I used to work at a Nikon, Tamron and Sony repair centre, I used them all the time for calibrating and inspecting lenses and it's really something else.
@DJmallninja
4:06 this is the most stable focus rack I have ever seen in my friggin LIFE
@UXXV
That into the sun comparison was incredible. Consumer lens and even pro ones losing contrast where the Arri showed why it’s a cine performer !
@MichaelGAubrey
It's common for manufacturers pursuing APO quality to go for more purple/blueish than magenta because the blue is less offensive or visible. Arri is clearly following that tradition. And it does make the CA more subtle.
@HaraldEngels
One of the most interesting reviews I have got to see since a long time. I am so bored by the limited product scope of most reviewers. Please produce more videos which are not the version 27 of the same old story (with some minor technical improvements). YouTube videos - like yours - have educated the audience to be ready nowadays for more excursions into the professional domain and more looks "behind the scenes" of innovative manufacturers like Arri.
@vonwolfersdorff
Great video Gerald and really the first time I did NOT put something into my shopping list after watching your review. Greets from Berlin!
@hudsonhower
Impression filters are the most exciting things about these lenses to me. It essentially gives you new lenses with each filter. I'm wildly hopeful that another lens manufacturer will implement this kind of filtering, as it's still tough to handle the Signature Prime price tag. Even when considering rentals.
@cafarellidigital
This is a fantastic comparison and analysis, and a great perspective on re-aligning what qualities we should be looking for in a lens. I'd love for you to continue doing a series of this!
@smryt9728
10:59 This is such a great reference photo I just had to screenshot. Each focal length gives off different vibes. This is great for when you aren’t sure what focal length to use but you know what emotion you want to convey
@noenken
This is a great idea, I think. Sure, comparisons between a bunch of lenses that are "good" is interesting to make a purchasing decision. But having the context of what is actually possible can be really helpful. I would even suggest to have a comparison of non compromise lenses against each other. One of these cinema primes, a Zeiss Otus, a Noct, a Leica SL APO Summicron ... That would be crazy. :D
@blancheit4696
I like the return of the old format. Maybe not always but keep doing some time this kind of episode. As always awesome job!

4:40 The cool thing is Arri tuned the Chromatic abberations to be more warm and cold OR Blue And yellow Which is sooo much better looking than green and magenta
@Legendary_Tales
:yt: Thank you for the video, Gerald. I am a cinematography student. I had NO IDEA that Arri made lenses with "impression filters" that change the character of the otherwise pristinely neutral image. That is brilliant innovation from Arri. Now... I just thirty grand. :goodvibes:
