Thanks to clarify that point, i was getting mixed info now at least i know for sure.

My question is, there is anything similar to a speedbooster for full frame cameras? something to enchance the field of view of a lens and his aperture?

Hello people,

i am trying to find out some info on that matter, but apparently is harder then i though.

First of all is a speed booster like the metabones or Rj turbo usable on a canon mark III? and if yes which version should i take considering seems there are several out there with different mounts.

Thanks

Hey,

I am in need of one of those lenses, i manage to find one on ebay, but somehow seems not that legit considering the over 600 feedback on products for 1$ in they're list.

Would love to know your opinion and of course if you sell one feel free to let me know.

Thanks

Thank you guys for the heads up,

so if you could choose one anamorphic lens over the others, what in terms of quality, flair etc would be the one you would choose hands down?

Well aspect ratio, overal quality of the image, the fact that is panavision which is by itself a quality standard, i have seen lots of footage made with it and i simply love it, i had an hypergonar hi fi 2 (amazing lense) but its way too big and heavy and its a 2.x aspect ration lense which make stretching the image a huge loss.

I would be interested as well in knowing whats the closest thing to this anamorphic lens.

Hey directors!!.

Was just wondering if anybody have seen one around, i can't find any of them an i need one asap.

Thanks

Just few quick tests i did with a canon 7d and the hypergonar..

Thank you guys for the ideas, i am actually really into understanding what type of lenses they might have used, as BurnetRhoades point out it might be shooted with Alexa, for the tracking itself i know for sure its all motion control...

Hello guys,

Is with enormous sadness i have to sell my beautifull hypergonar, the lens have being bought by a eoshd member and its perfect! Mint condition, no scratches, spots, condensation marks, separation on glass (front and rear), no fungus, no dust inside mechanism works perfectly and smooth..

if someone is interested can email me at hidalgo@underdogs.ee

or

The lens comes equipped with a xume adapter (82mm) (priced at around 60 euro) that will enable you to mount filters or diopters just by applying them magnetically without gluing, taping or other weird (and slow) processes.

Best

really nice and i am aswell a Kubrick fan, but thats video for? :D

@Rudolf

yeah, i meant exactly the opposite, so almost black and white as you said  :D

@Chris

thanks for the tips i am only interested in what could be a speculation on theyre shooting lenses/cameras i know for sure what they used for the cgi as i am a 3d generalist myself and i know people who have worked on the 3d on the video.

@John

thank you man, i was needing preciselly some info on lighting impressions.

Cgi?

what i mean is actually stricly related to the "mood" of the movie, wich honestly i dont agree to be liveliness, but of course that goes into the realm of personal taste, actually this reminds me really much of the 80's movies, this saturated "clinical"  image, clean, but very rough at the same time. 

Maybe i have not understand totally yourmention about cgi, but this look its very analogic to me and i was curious to understand what lenses might have being used vs camera.

Hello guys,

i wanted to ask you  a techinical opinion, a sort of breakdown of this video:

Ah got it, so its a hack to obtain anamorphic bokeh, good catch :D

thanks

i am a little bit lost on the "oval mask" thing, what you mean exactly by that?

Thanks again John,

all really precious infos here i will put then in use, in fact i was already thinking that maybe 100mm might had being a bit too much as i am afraid they could somehow flatten then image a bit...but i have just to test those possibilities.

Take care

Hey John,

First of all thank you to take the time to write all that post to explain the concept, really apreciated bro.

Second thing thank you very much for taking...just kidding  :D

Anyway, i was preciselly thinking to install magic lantern, i had not check yet as i remember that few months ago only mark ii was supported, but i will give it a try for sure, btw only as a side note, did you know if installing a custom firmware invalidate the warranty as i have just bought that camera yesterday you know :D

i was liking honestly the hdri feature that i dont know if its usable at that stage (for videos of course).

with the 7d i was not having any problem as i said as it was working decently as you can see here..

But im testing now some new techniques to have a much richer image...

thanks man, will give a try to the 135mm lenses...

thanks again for the info, can you suggest a good lense for the purpose? i was thinking to get the lomo, but at this point seems like not anymore a good idea..

hi there, glad to hear you :D

so its somehow better to use a 7d then a mark iii to keep as much more of the image as possible? as the image its hd in both cameras so i guess i should crop more with a full sensor resulting in a less detailed image, or i am wrong?

Hello people,

i have just bough a Canon eos 5d mark III, plugged my helios lense ( with a m42 adaptor) and my hypergonar, before i was working with the 7d and didnt have such result.

https://vimeo.com/75398129

pass: canon

i know about the full sensor of the mark III, but isnt that too extreme? there is something like a setting i should adjust in order to have a full image?

Right now i am loosing almost a third of the image with this strange tunnel vision and i am really surprised about it.

Thanks for any help

p.s.

i have not yet squeeze the video to have a square image.

just a quick update, i tried a similar setup but for a day shooting test, i had to bring an nd filter on that to not blown out the sky, but i got it too late :-/

hey, glad you like it and yes, the lense look amazing

i should thank you about it :)

seems already a very nice grading imho, the only comments would be to try to show more of the middle/dark areas of the clip as everything between those ranges now its melting a bit too much, maybe trying to under expose with some quick matte the lights of the car, and perhaps i would make everything a bit more sharp as ive seen myself that this create a lot of a cinematic look.
