i have nothing for you barlow.
who are you?
why do i need to prove anything to you
you think you know best
why the fuck would i tell or show some shitter i do not know my projects.
you are a bore.
fishing are you serious from you fuck off : )
i was shooting super 8 scope when you where still jerking off to jilly johnston and sam fox
i have had 40 more iscoramas than you have ever had
destroyed my first one in the 1980s.
i do not need to here pointless theory from you if it is true or not is not important.
it has all been done by germans americans and french men decades ago.
bottom feeding that is all.

how many iscorama have you had 1 or none?
why do you think i do not know about iscorama design
for your info the 2 double element cylindricals where so superb that the 2 front single element focus groups could be used.
but you understand all of this cos yer gonna bring down slr magic with the power of the barlow brain.<br />
out of ideas?
go fuck yourself : )
did i say i had any fucking ideas am i messing people about in any way.
i am not in a race i tinker and fiddle with lens
i have got plenty of projects but may not bother because of cost.
i may do stuff i may not it is not a big deal.
feel free to blow the moving picture market wide open orson einstein.
just because i don't show my stuff or sell stuff does not mean it does not exist.
anyway let us agree that you know better than everyone and leave it at that.
good luck with the china paper work means nothing from a legal position though..
please be gentle on us john.
what has vidatlantic and slr magic and redstan ever done to you apart from ignore you.
 

Yes indeed, I got a Redstan clamp for it, it is good though dual focus is a bit of a bitch of course. It has a good look to it...
 
I think only the Iscorama is single focus, hence some laughable prices being asked for it.
 
The Moller 32/2x I have has orange flares, subtle though as it's multicoated. I should make some kind of test and upload really, so others can see.

Hi J,
Did you get your moller??
Fantastic!
Alan made me a great clamp specific for moller.
Really special lens if it's in good shape. 
Cheers!

It's the eleventh hour for the GH2, but it will still be a few months before I have its replacement in my hands so I am still trying to get the best possible performance out of it. And I'd still like to hang onto it as a B-cam, but not until I work some issues out.

I did a full-range ISO test of my GH2 with the Flowmotion 2.02 settings, starting at 12800 and working my way down to 160. I did this after reading a little more about the GH2 ISO bug. Initially, I had read that if you wanted to use ISOs 320, 640 or 1250, you had to switch the camera on and first go to [i]any[/i] higher ISO, and then back to one of these three to minimize noise. Then I did some more reading on Personal-View and apparently what you want to do is go to the next ISO increment up, and then back down to the desired setting (so if you want ISO 320, go to ISO 400, then back to 320; if you want 640, go to 800, then back to 640). This seemed to result in a MUCH cleaner image than my initial tests with the first image. The footage is pretty usable up to ISO 1250, at least with the Flowmotion hack.

What really surprised me was this:

ISO 160
Flowmotion 2.02
Noise enhanced for visibility
500% crop

ISO 320
Flowmotion 2.02
Noise enhanced for visibility
500% crop


This tells me that working around the ISO bug as I have talked about above, ISO 320 is actually much [i]cleaner[/i] than 160. In fact, it's the cleanest ISO (at least with this hack on my camera).

Thoughts?

Hi,
You need to fix the link...
Cheers!

I got excellent experience with these company ...
The clamps are just superior.
I also send a PM last week and didn't have an answer yet.
I'm sure you will get a response , but you will have to wait.
Be patience, the clamps are really good.
I shot a short film last week with one redstan. It allows to shoot with confidence without worries. It's light and strong, so your lens is save.
I think Redstan is out of town. As I said , I tried to contact him and also send cash through paypal, but don't have an answer yet. I'm not worried, because I made trade before and everything was fantastic. Just be patience.
Cheers!

those red clamps are crap and that tokina doublet will soften the image it is not necessary.
john barlow has already scientifically destroyed the tokina myth with math and nasa physics.
tokinas sharpness has been proven to be all in your mind.
get a refund you have been conned : )
 
 
and do not reply by saying nasa is a fraud.
ok 
buzz lightyear and lance armstrong did not go to the moon but that simple fact does not provide evidence that they do not udderstand science and the laws of quantum mechanicals.

Hi JG, Isn't at all difficult to aligned. These time was my first shot with Moller, so I got my first experience and sometime I got hurry to shot and misaligned some shots. My adaptor is a crap...You need a good one to handle better.
Here are 4 more videos with Moller...










Best regards.

If I were stuck on a desert island with only one lens, I'd choose the $20 Helios 44M-2 and anamorphic adapter. OK that is technically two lenses but I'd fire all my other lenses at a brick wall at 200mph if it meant keeping hold of the Isco CentaVision 2x anamorphic.

That's quite another cup of tea. Once you process your footage in a way that you change every pixel completely, it's hue, saturation, luma, it's position, you were crazy to render in any highly compressed codec (such as mpeg4, though you don't gain anything by transcoding [i]before[/i] the editing/grading). If you further change the timing, add multiple keyframes, animated masks, composite shots (all the heavy After Effects stuff), you were absolutely insane not to prepare the video for that by transcoding to an intraframe-codec in advance.

Can you tell the difference in quality then? This depends on your hardware. If your [i]preview[/i] (this is the wysiwyg-side of it) stays full quality then with AVCHD, maybe it will look the same (I'd like to see a machine capable of that). But even then, it makes no sense to wait a day and a half for the results (ProRes renders faster), only to have to throw away the whole if you detect some minor errors. A friend of mine, who builds really complex animations in AAE that take many hours and sometimes days, always renders as tiff sequences for this reason alone.

Yellow, thanks for the info. And what do you think about grading?
What will better to work on grading? prores or nativ avchd with your workflow?[/quote]

Grading in Premiere CS6 or AE, you're not working with native avchd or prores it's imaterial, the frame is decompressed into memory and converted to RGB for display including interpolating the sub sampled chroma in some way and with color processing / grading most of the tools work in RGB and if a choice done at 32bit precision preferably.

[quote]I though that the imac will handle better prores to work with grading, twixtor, etc.[/quote]

As we're all more than aware if our machine is not upto editing the source then there's two options. We buy a faster machine or transcode to something we can work with to get the job done. But that is to solve performance issues, there's no increase in 'quality' transcoding.

hello i now have 2 redstan hypergonars 1.5x and 1.33x
any pro shooter based in london i would be keen to meet in the next couple of weeks to get some feedback.
i have been working on these for a long time and am a bit burnt out.
please ping me a massage if interested to meet and give feedback.
someone experienced with anamorphic lens would be ideal.
cheers

Since I don't always want to fire up my videos in an editing program when I do some quick viewings of the shots, here's how to use VLC for viewing footage in different aspect ratios.

On VLC in Windows it is easy:
- go to Preferences -> All -> Video and you'll find a field where you can enter custom aspect ratios, separated by commas. Keep in mind that VLC only wants whole numbers without decimals, so to get 2.66:1 and 3.55:1 ratios, you would type in: 266:1,355:100

On VLC in Mac OS X:
- There isn't unfortunately not anywhere to input this in the application interface, and I just spent some time figuring this out and I'm sharing the howto for you guys, since I couldn't find this information anywhere else on the net!

1) Locate the VLC preferences file: ~/Library/Preferences/org.videolan.vlc/vlcrc

Note: ~ equals your home folder for your user, e.g. /Users/myusername. The preferences file is created the first time you run VLC, like Caleb mentions further down in this forum thread. You might want to make a copy of this file before you edit it, just in case...

2) Look for the line that says (lines marked with a # character in front are comments that are ignored by VLC):

# Custom aspect ratios list (string)
#custom-aspect-ratios=

After that, just add a line that says:

custom-aspect-ratios=266:100,300:100,355:100

Then you will get the custom aspect ratios 266:100, 300:100 and 355:100 (2.66:1, 3:1, 3.55:1) to choose from in the VLC interface (Video -> Aspect ratio in the menu). Again, keep in mind that VLC won't accept decimals like 2.35:1 for custom aspect ratios. They must be entered like 235:100.
