Every once in a while, life throws you a nice little gift. I was teaching about zoom lenses to my 35mm class at Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema on the same day I got to play with an iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Since one of the most prominent features of the Pro Max is the 5x 120mm lens and its zoom functionality, I thought it would be fun to set up a “35mm vs. iPhone: side by side” to see what all the hype was about.
So, we mounted the iPhone next to a Panaflex to compare.
