Andrew - SLR Magic Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Strange that the flare in your footage is not blue like Andrew's. It's white or little green (ND filter?). Andrew said "..it remains blue no matter what the light source is.". So maybe a different kind of prototype? The version taken to LA could have been the final version of the SLR Magic - Anamorphot. We had been trying hard to change the flares to blue and we managed to succeed just before we start shipping out the units to our volunteer testers. The coating is now final and flares will be blue. Legacy anamorphic adapters usually flare white, yellow, or green. Cinema anamorphics usually flare blue streaks so we tried very hard to make the lens flare the same way cinema anamorphics do. andy lee, dahlfors and nahua 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juank Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hello Andrew Nice Blog Forum and reviews could you please tell me if we can use the Anamorphot with zoom like the sigma 18-35 1.8 ? thanks Hello JuanK, and welcome to the jungle. No you can't use zoom or lenses with bigger front element than 50mm more info: http://provideocoalition.com/awilt/story/preview-slr-magic-anamorphot-133x50-anamorphic-adapter "The lens it's fitted to should have a front element diameter smaller than 50mm or vignetting is likely, as the adapter's rear element (or its clean aperture, at least) is 50mm. Also note that the weight of the adapter makes it unsuitable for direct attachment to most servo-focus primes as the load on the focusing mechanism would be excessive.

Juank Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 It will be nice to see some Bokeh tests. to see how bright highlights in the background get resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisxjones Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I really like the flare colouring here, is there going to be a non-blue option for those of us not shooting music videos or sci fi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juank Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 that was the prototype or pre-production model, may be they release both if the is people asking for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew - SLR Magic Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 We are only going to have one final version and the flare is blue. Same version as the one in Andrew's review. Sean Cunningham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgharding Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I much preferred that natural flare version above to the vivid blue. It is pretty distracting in many situation to have royal blue lines across your image, but a natural, context sensitive flare can do wonders. Still, it'll work for hip-hop and blade runner style vids! But I think it may turn away a fair few people... a natural coloured flare can settle in any genre, even realistic narrative.

Juank Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Thanks Andrew are you gonna make a bigger one for bigger lenses or a 2X for 4:3 format ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew - SLR Magic Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Not at this time will we be making one for wider or one for 2X. Whatever we end up making we expected people to hope for wider or lighter weight or hope for 1.5x or 2x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juank Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Thanks Andrew for your feedback I'm already very interested in the Anamorphot adapter, I really love the frames from andrew on this review with the final product (whith blue flare). I will order for sure!!! IF you make a bigger one a 2X I will order also one keep going , nice products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Cunningham Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 We are only going to have one final version and the flare is blue. Same version as the one in Andrew's review. Works for the Panavision C-Series, which has been used quite beautifully in every single genre of film. Good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew - SLR Magic Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 The version now intercuts better with Panavision anamorphic lenses and the version before intercuts better with Iscorama anamorphic lenses. Sean Cunningham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuniorX Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 hello, Regarding the flares, are obligatory blue! It is not possible to give a natural color depending on the light ? On the Iscorama, flares are natural ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
