I have been wanting to conduct a documentary lens test for quite some time now. We tend to get stuck working with the same lenses we always use, whether its because we own them, or its just easier to keep renting the same ones over and over.

I was lucky enough to partner with AbelCine to conduct this extensive 11 lens test and share it with you on their site, as well as with newsshooter.com. Please tune in for each and every episode and we look to find the right documentary zoom for your project.

Here are links to the full article posts, but if you only want to watch the videos, you can find those below.
