no bullshit here andrew what am i sayin.
i said it will not be based on the focus century as complexity would mean cost would be at letus levels.

both lens will be good but they will not be cemented corrected doublets.

they are simple single element optics with an airgap.
try a moller at f1.4
try these new lens and tell us about state of the art optics.
user friendly with a good price yes but nothing nasa here.
since nasa is dead it is up to china to take us to the stars but not for a few more years methinks.
but what a price not many can beat it.



"We are the slr Borg.  letus Lower your shields and surrender your ships.

if you are talking about the rare focus century it will not be like that.
that was 3 times the price of the non focus century.
 
i have 3 of those very nice full focus helicoid quality product perfect fo m/43 still not an iscorama but better than panasonic big chunk of glass.

look at the massive hypergonars nice long focal length distance between optics add a little radioactive material to change the abbe number.

even the baby lens have more distance and if not complex high index doublets your tiny optic included.
glass like lananthanum used by leica long ago.
bk7 type glass is regular standard stuff some of the magic is in the recipes.
some of the glass types are not even made any more.
this is not a problem for companies like cooke who can spend a year playing with modern glass types refining a modern optic with vintage character traits.
compact short barrel wider focal length of anamorphic giving a wider field of view heavier f stop giving many zones of sharp focus,glass type,1.33 compression and lens coatings.
complex stuff even for a budget scope lens a tough nut to crack and a difficult ask to satisfy different market segments.
cannot wait for the letus v slr v century with achromat video

riccardo slr magic products are for life why would you want to return it before the end of your life? your lack of blind belief is troubling my friend.
you need reprogramming :)
listen to me now listen to me. you are feeling sheepy
say after me iscorama. iscorama the end is near.
you will learn to love the fuzzy sides on a 5d at f2.8 that  is the new improved way.
old is old you cannot compete with the improved new.
 
ok goood when you awake you will find your mastercard and buy new.
buy
bye
buy more take a blue pill
and bee happy

So volunteers are basically early bird buyers who cannnot return items, cannot select which ones they want (forcing to buy the 35mm is quite absurd) and have to make a short video for free giving SLR commercial rights on it.
In return? 20% discount on the whole package, plus probably shipping and taxes which bring the price at starting point, if not higher.
Forgive me if I cannot be so enthusiastic about it as others..

i am sure these new lens will be great compared too the century and the panasonic as all the design work was done years ago,just a question of figuring out what panasonic and century did wrong.

1700 -2000 for the letus is gonna be an interesting sell in the age of pocket cameras..
an interesting test will be century with achromat against slr magic at f2.8 and f4.
i did a test close up lens at  mag power +0.12 and it was way to mild and subtle waste of time.
tokina magnification is great but as i had a few left i thought i would go milder at 0.25

many people even dp's still say single element is all you need and mild magnification does not generate any chromatic shit but i can see it on a battered old gh1 screen zoomed in.
i have some old angenieux single element i have tested the new doublet against and it beats the single element angenieux.

nice lens cool angles 
iscorama is easy but ya canna beata baby moller : )

in old hollywood times the camera dept,the camera rental companies did not bother with achromatic correction. harrison and harrison,mitchells and tiffen made do with single element close up. in fact many rentals got local companies to make pretty shit close up optics.
i nose cos i worked at technovision,jdc and panavision.
in film they had a big team  structure spherical or scope they did not shoot wide open unless they could help it.
if they had to shoot a stop down from open the lovely quality camera optics could take it.
using shit plate window glass close up on anamorphic was not an issue the folks shootin had plenty a lights and nice heavy f stops correcting any nasties
we was messin with achromatic close up in the 1980s.
2 big 2 expensive and 2 heavy once you got over 80mm a joke when you got to 130-150mm. not needed.
today
compact digical cams are different the folks are different most are shooting without lights, no gaffers and sparks,shooting  wide open some  with seriously shit anamorphics.
 
where did most of the tokina come from,who got them,who tested them,who purchased most of the worlds stock from various warehouses around the world. who sold them,who bored folks with the info  it is true these optics will help you.
who got abuse from no it all schmucks  saying single element is good enough doublets are not needed you are talking shit.
me.
most of the tokina around the world came from me,shipped from london.
how can the tokina made nearly 10 years ago be in original box like new cos i purchase everything new old stock. sold them at £75 sterling then the fewer i had the higher the price went.
i now have 3 left out of 300 hundred.
so sorry for calling you a tit but your crap about you lecturing some copy cat china company about what to do
did not come from you from an original concept, it came from my insight.
 
the improvement of optex,century with tokina came from my experiments.
did i twitter blog about it or shoot a shit  noisy vampy video no.
i experimented played and fiddled and sold some stuff with a cast iron guarantee of improvements.
 
the fact they are making a +0.4 shows again that china has zero original idea.
nearly always based on idea theft or takeover.
i gave up my anamorphic build quite a while ago because i have high standards and was aiming for the stars.
i now understand that this is not important a hill will do.
what is more important is the hype of the new and how pretty the promo film looks. since letus and slr are being so lazy on the design side i will knock up some interesting nick nacks that should be pretty nice reply.

wow 
all because of you  : )
damn you should of told them to use a doublet in the anamorphic design then they would not have this low light issue.
it is not bokeh it is a limitation in the century design f stoppin init.
but like the noise alex jones from your town,you austin folks nose best ; )
 
 
cannot wait to see your trackin shots at night.
 
and fuck you and your ffs you tit

They're already including the +0.4 and +1.3 with beta versions of the anamorphic.
why if they have a new design?
 
 
 
interesting as they said many times that diopters where expensive and not needed with a new design? which is true if it was a new design this is proof it is just a revamped vamped china century copy with a copy of the japan tokina. these guys are true originals. the reason they need close up achromat is because the anamorphic is single element. nothing wrong with the kit should b sweet but we are then way over 2000 dollars yes no. by my guess the moller 1.5 should then be trading at 2400 as it will always optically be a better lens than the slr magic.
 
someone with a big brain show me how single element cylindrical lens bests double element.
 
 
 
here is my custom original designed achromat not an easy copy of the tokina

cool..

contact vamp camp ask him if it will work with his clamps also ask him if he can make a helmet mount cos you want to go skydiving with your tushinsky..
get a friend to film from the ground as you make you way down to earth : )


just had an idea for the sky diving movie name..

ever wondered what leica or cooke taylor hobson could do if they made something like the tokina achromatic diopter.
 
well in about 3 weeks i should have the finest close up ever.
82mm doublet +0.25 classic single coated optics using ohara and schott germany glass.
way superior than the tokina +0.4 optimised for 5d size sensor using iscorama,cooke speed panchro and leica r as the set up.
this close up will be a fine match for the finest most expensive high end new or old optics.
 
 
anyone who thinks these new generation anamorphics from letus and slr magic will not need a double element close optics is clearly not very sharp : )
a simple test on those 2 new china lens shot at f1.8 or even f2.8  with an achromatic doublet and without should make things clear.
these new anamorphics are single element  optics just like the century and the panasonic optics.
maybe revised and improved  but still single element..
sometin got a give somewhere in the system.
 
as we all understand stopping optics down to f4-5.6 clears up the image and makes even poor optics look sweet.
achromatic correction is kind of cool and if you like the new anamorphic lens concepts coming sticking a decent bit of double element glass in front of bad single element can only help A
3 cheers for Chester Moore Hall the man that came up with the concept of bending light ray achromatic correction.

no dis respect just find a small sankor anything with the numbers 16 in it.
or a kowa why not buy something that you can hold in the palm of you hand...
 
why buy from a liar anyone that puts iscorama in the title like that guy should be hunted down and forced to eat his 3kg lens.
if you want to buy these massive pieces of metal and glass use an auction rather than a buy it now.
those links are a joke sorry 150 dollar optics at best much of this glass has been dumped from multiplex cinemas going from film to digital some taken out of dustbins.
not saying it is not usable but cameras are getting smaller.
you will not look more pro with rigged up set up like that you look like a wanker.
send the iscorama guy an email say you are interested in buying 3 set up's tell him you are doing a skate board project and you love his items ask him has he got any examples of motorbike speedboat or skateboard footage using his not real iscorama

3 cheers for Chester Moore Hall the man that came up with the concept of bending light ray achromatic correction.

it has been designed around the best optics i have cooke speed panchro,leica noctilux,nikon noct imaging onto a 5d sensor size.
i took the best designs i could find realised most achromats are design for long and zoom lens so started from scratch again.
so although the tokina is the best of it's type in terms of light ray path my new ones have better correction hitting the film plane.
the quality of my glass is better and more exotic than the tokina and fully configured for the job.

no price at the moment but you can test it when i get time to machine a mount for it : )
