Tested the ZEISS 15-30 CZ zoom lens again. Actually it’s a full frame cinema zoom. I had vignetting issues due to my Oconnor Mattebox w/ 4×4 filter trays. Same issue with 5,65×4 filter trays. You need a proper mattebox to work with lenses wider than 18mm at 5K resolution. If you are shooting 4K you don’t have any issues. It’s only a problem when using a full frame DSLR pr a Red Epic with more than 4K resolution. Don’t get me wrong. If you get vignetting issues it’s not the lens, it’s the mattebox! ;)
