The baby Hypergonar is an anamorphic lens, not a prime C mount lens. By the way it's 1.75X ;)

In C-mount the Pentax 25mm 1.4 is well known as a good lens but I never tried it. 

Anyway first of all you have to find the good focal adapted to the sensor of your go pro, and also adapted to the factor of your anamorphic lens.

Day two is here :

Hey Seb,

 

You seem to have some issues with your telecine.

 

If you are doing it yourself and your target is 25p, then set your projector to 16.66 fps and record the screen using PAL 25fps interlaced. If your projector does not have precise speed control settings, vary the speed until the position where the flicker vanishes.

 

Then in post deinterlace and slow down to 24p if needed.

 

Hope this helps

Thanks for the advice John. Here it's just a rough telecine, it will be professional done later, when we will have the budget :)

J'avais adoré le teaser et j'espère sincèrement que ton projet aboutira. ;-)

MErci ! :)

  PROJECT SUMMARY:


  For 20 years (1993-2013), I got used to go with my girlfriends to New York, and set my love memories on film...
WOMANHATTAN is a film from my point of view as an obsessive director: the obsession of filming my girlfriends in New York, the obsession of magnifying them, the technological obsession of finding the camera shots that best reflected my feelings.
 WOMANHATTAN is a trip back in time, before and after 9/11, where I take us to the heart of New York and its urban landscapes, my thoughts on the passing of time, on love and the possibility of being free one day from my obsessions, and living fully the present and my love life. To discover my world here is the teaser :

  I hope you find this project exciting and unique enough to be a part of it.

  Thank you! Seb Farges

You already know from my Vimeo comment : really nice image, I wonder when I will have the chance to have one ! :)

COME ON, I have to test one of these ! ;)

That's great ! But it is not vignetting ? And apparently you did not do zoom in / out

Ahh... I just created my EOSHD account. I'd love to meet you if had seen this post earlier. I live in NYC. Please let me know next time you come here.

I'll come there soon, we stay in touch !

Over 40 hours of material were taken in NYC, Some in anamorphic, the others with the two SLR Magic 25mm f0.95 and 12mm.

Hello my anamorphics friends

I'm in Manhattan for two weeks till the 8 of april, working on my creative film documentary "Womanhattan", and you can be sure I'm going to shoot again and again in anamorphic the city that never sleep ! :) If someone there live in the area and want to have an american coffee :P please let me know !

Does it vignette a lot at lower apertures?

No, it works fine too (on my SLR Magic and also on a Fujian 35mm C mount) :)

Seb, does this work on micro four thirds at 35mm?

Yes, I've just checked, it works on my SLR Magic 35mm f1.4 :)

Anyone know anything about this lens?

Looks good but don't know it. However I have a Super 8 Sankyo camera.

Nice footage as always, Seb. There is so much nice architecture in France!

Thanks ! And yes, you have to visit my country ! :)

I have a question about the flares at about 0:33 on your video... I noticed that in the right hand corner there is a straight, rainbow type, 45 degree angle flare. Do you see this to a greater degree when you shine a light directly in the lens? I'm wondering, because when I use any other taking lens on my Iscorama, other than the original, I get this straight 45 degree flare, if the light source is bright enough. If I'm using the original 50mm, I don't get this weird flare. I have some slight lens separation in my lens(but very little), so I thought this mite cause it, but I don't know. Anyone else have this issue?

I'm sorry I don't know, maybe a particularity of your lens

It's nice to see your results with the lovely iscorama.  to me a wonderful tool.  the low light anamorphic king.  sharp enough at very fast apertures and no light loss.  When you finally pull the trigger on an iscorama I think you will love the flare factory modifeid helios44 I sent Andrew Reid (optimised to make iscorama a lot more rustic and lower contrast).    

Thanks Richard, and yes I have to order one of your lens, but for the moment I save money because I'm going to shoot from next monday two weeks of Manhattan in anamorphic... :)

that is cheating f4...
try it at f1.4 or even 0.95 : )

regardless of what john barlow says a simple locked off tripod test with camera taking lens wide open shows the improvements. of doublet close up over single element.
reduced spot size on a doublet correcting light ray path giving more clarity to the image.
in fact i just tested a +1 kinoptik doublet it destroys the single element angenieux.
chester moore hall invented the doublet in 1740 the design has been copied ever since if it was not needed or if single element was so good then doublet designs would of died out long ago.
doublets are the high end route.
tiffen and schneider use single element window glass called white water not optical bk7 in the close up they make.
they rely on people stopping down to improve performance.

achromatics require higher end optical glass and quality spec and build.really
stopping a bad optic down will cure most problems opening wide or one stop down from wide open shows the power of a good achromatic doublet design.

optical law transcends vimeo pictures

Thanks for your poetry :) Badfully I had the 0.4 five minutes and did not think of using it at fast aperture.

Sorry no more movie available...

I will do a test when I will have the Tokina +0.4 achromat ;)

I visit my brother, niece and sister in law, and I met in Toulouse Olivier, a anamorphic lenses collector. He lent me for this week end one of his Iscorama. It was the first and hope not the last time that I have this lens in my hand. It's working very well, sharp, and usable for closed shots without a diopter.

Very nice. SLR Magic is going to beat Voigtlander to having a set of superfast manual primes . . . and they're putting gears on 'em too!

Thanks Caleb :)

I've changed the ratio to 1.4X, which seems to fit better
