What critics say
Summarised from video reviews across each brand’s line — what they consistently praise, where they push back, with the press tone beneath.?
Reviewers praise
- Lens build quality is consistently praised across the lineup — reviewers describe real glass, solid metal, and meaningful weight that signals durability rather than cheapness.
- The twist-and-lock M-Series mount system is fast, secure, and draws repeated approval for feeling tight and professional.
- The Moment Pro Camera app offers a distinctive shutter-priority with auto-ISO mode that competitors do not, making it uniquely practical for run-and-gun shooting.
Reviewers push back
- The camera app lacks external SSD recording and ProRes RAW support, limiting it compared to free rival apps for high-end production work.
- The app has no preset-saving feature, which reviewers flag as a missing quality-of-life tool that competitors already provide.
- Some lenses have no front element cover included in the box, allowing dust accumulation inside the optic with no easy cleaning solution.
“build quality is really really nice immediately when I got this I had no idea it was this big this is like really and really glass there's actually some weight to it”
Where reviewers split on Moment: On the camera app, reviewers split on whether its hybrid approach is a strength or a compromise — one treats the balance of simplicity and control as its best feature, while the comparison to fully-featured free apps makes it look limited by the same measure.The anamorphic lens draws enthusiasm from some reviewers for its cinematic character, but at least one notes the cost feels significant relative to the narrow creative use case, suggesting it suits committed filmmakers more than casual users.
