Tomas Lovera from NMF visited Miami Camera Rental, invited by Óscar Lobo (DP), to bring the V-Raptor X and test it alongside their Venice 2 and another Alexa Mini LF with the new lenses recently acquired by the rental: the Hugo lenses from Leitz/Leica.
Colorist Óscar Martínez from Moving Forward Studios accompanied us on this visit. We discussed the possibilities and challenges of the test.
Both the Venice 2 and the Alexa Mini LF featured internal ND filters, making it clear that a direct comparison between cameras would not be fair. Instead, the focus was on the perception and behavior of this new and highly exclusive lens on each of the three cameras.
We captured footage in both sunset and artificial lighting, with luminaires managed by Lobo and the team present at the location.
