Hey have you noticed anything with the aperture not working with the slr magic 25mm? I just got the lens and my ring stopped working. When I spin it - it doesn't have any effect on the aperture. The aperture ring also feels clicky.. Just seeing if anyone else had this, it may just be the lens I got.

Wow I'm sorry about it, SLR surely replace it. Mine works fine.

Hello everyone, here is a quick and non scientific comparison between the Iscorama 1.33X very rare version (taht I have just for this past week end) and my baby hypergonar 1.75X.

Essai with my anamorphic lens on a tilt @ shift lens.

Hard to use, hard to focus, this is just an essai :)

No CC...??

The color looks great...autumm? late or evening? Paris?

Yes, no CC at all ! The light was beautifull this day, and the vertical compression delight it. It was shot in November, end of afternoon, face to the new bridge in Bordeaux, french west coast.

I did the same Seb but with my Moller 2X.

I think with anamorphic 2x in vertical you get a perfect square (1:1) .With 1.75 you got a little higher square.

Great video. Fantastic light, space and movements.

Cheers!

 

P.D: It's something like a  "medium format in movements" or instagram movie :-)

Yes instragam or Lomophotography, and there is also here no color correction

Hilos (Vertical Anamorphic does 1:1 ratio)

I test the possibility of doing an vertical alignment with my baby Hypergonar Berthiot 1.75X anamorphic lens. Doing this transform my 16/9 GH1 takes in 1:1 video. This could be interesting for example if you want to do false 4/3 archives with a contemporary 16/9 cam, without cropping what you are filming. Or doing filmic essai like this one, with my friend dancer Violeta.

Here is my first hands on of the SLR Magic 25mm T0.95 I've done yesterday ! Thanks

I've just received from SLR Magic their new 25mm T0.95 lens, the production copy. It has been improved with sharpness and purple fringing from EOSHD and 3D-Kraft Pre production lens.
The result is astonishing to my opinion, very sharp image at full aperture. Here is a non scientific quick test in a "documentary" situation (my daughter in a pony competition :) ). I'm really happy for the result, and the light was particularly cool this sunday morning.

The lens will be available soon, for 799$

I don't know but all I have to say is... This is the third or fourth time I've seen your girlfriend in one of these videos and I'm mesmerized by her. She is sooo cute! ;-)

Here's how I am mounting mine: http://www.eoshd.com/comments/uploads/gallery/album_14/gallery_18451_14_27471.jpg

 

There are probably other ways to do it, but this is what I came up with to prevent the lens from twisting when I am focusing. Hope this helps and I can't wait to see your videos!

Thank you :) I did a quick test with it this afternoon, but I have to bring it to a photograph repairer for the focus ring. At first glance this lens is less sharp than my baby Hypergonar, I have to put the prime lens at least on f/5.6, even for wide shot, when with the Hypergonar I can do wide shot at fast aperture (on the Iscomorphot 1.5 fast shot gives blurry / unsharp and color aberration. f/5.6 begin to be better, and especially with the Tokina diopter.

Thanks for your test QuickHitRecord, and especially for the model :P

 

I just received the Iscomorphot 8, could you tell me what clamp are you using with it ? Thank you

Hello nice people

 

i am trying to do some experiments with my hypergonar, but i have some confusion regarding the focus, as i am aware i can focus with both my prime lense and the hypergonar, but for some reasons seems like the anamorphic lense doesnt change anything, except the fact that seems like the bokeh rotate, is that supposed to work like this? or there is some trickery i need to consider?

 

with diopter i can almost zoom 30 cm from my subject, only focusing with the prime lense, but even there the hypergonare seems to not focus anything...

As far as I know you don't have to focus with Hypergonar, because it's an hyperfocal lens.

looks lovely.  the tilt shift is great.  a really interesting look.  I think you need to try this with some backlighting!  I think the flares could look really exciting with the tilt shift being applied during shot.

 

re. closeups / tokina +0.4 vs +0.5.  It looks like you dont need any additional correction on the close ups.  the results look really nice.  the little hypergonnar seems to apply a 16mm film look to the image.  looks almost edible!  

Thanks Richard :) Don't worry I will practice with the tilt and shift and will also try flares! And for the 0.4, I will wait when I will have the budget...

ah ok, thanks for the tip, i have glued my 82mm adapter, now lets hope it stays in place, :D

mmm you scared me, what do you mean exactly ? I bought a 77mm Xume adapters, I'm about to received it, it's for my Tokina 0.5 dioter 77mm (and or ND Variable filter) on one side, and a step up ring 77mm on the other side... Do you think it will works ? 

Nice :) Can you show some pictures of the Hypergonar 'naked', without the filters/clamps?

This picture was not taken by me, but I like it so much ;)

Very nice. As far as I know, tilt shift anamorphic is a new frontier.

 

I think that I have told you before that your daughter has a great face for cinema (and I mean that, not everybody does!). And the architecture of Bordeaux looks so timeless. It's a perfect combination for shooting anamorphic films. I look forward to watching your next film!

Thank you QuickHitRecord, tomorrow I will try the tilt and shift in anamorphic, but without my daughter, unlike me she is working ;)

Nice! really tidy rigging of the hypergonar/planar/tokina. all nice and integrated. planars work really nicely with anamorphic imo. im using a 50mm on my iscorama. sharpness central! However i almost feel it is too clinical. I imagine you will get the best of both worlds now. nice and sharp while the micro optics will add a hint of character the iscorama maybe misses.

Based on my experiences with zeiss on iscorama I have started experimenting with modifying Helios-44 lenses in order to bring back some rawness to the image. I'm also looking at maybe getting a voigt 40mmf1.4 single coated

I'll be interested to see if you find the zeiss a little too clinical after using for a while. Will you miss the slight vignette and character from the hypergonar/voightlander combo?

You know since I'm filming with the GH series, I went through different phases, beginning with fast lenses in the C-mount vignetting area @ their soft fastest aperture, then the Voigtlanders, and I discover what closing necessary apertures on anamorphic gives for difference (for ex is "A man with anamorphic eyes"... The baby hypergonar is maybe a little less sharp than the Iscorama at fast apertures, but good diopter like my Tokina 0.5 and maybe one day the 0.4 give him beautiful result. I have a friend of mine who has the same ex anamorphic combo like mine, but with the non mc Voigt 40mm version. Badfully he doesn't put yet example on his vimeo's. I'll let you know thru my upcoming work what I think about the Planar. I bought it because few years ago I use to have it on a Contax G1, but I had sell it for money reason. Now he's back and I'm happy about it :)

You maybe know I have sold my baby Hypergonar in a combo with Voigtlander 40mm... 

Now I have a new anamorphic set I have to introduce to you : 

Carl Zeiss Planar 45mm f/2 (some people say the best 35mm lens ever made)

+ my new baby Hypergonar (sorry guys, I swear I don't have an "baby Hypergonar tree")

+ Tokina 0.5 diopter

I've shot some clip today and the result are really promising ! Movie soon, stay tune :)

and the cherry on the cake... A friend of mine loan me a 80mm f2.8 Hartbley Super Rotator Tilt Shift lens... I try quickly the baby hypergonar on it and it seems to work, without vignetting in the TS operations ! I will do some video tomorrow :)

I've sold baby isco anamorphot (not the same than the "iscomorphot" version, which is better) few month ago, to my opinion the baby Hypergonar is better.

Here is a test between those two babies lenses :

https://vimeo.com/41352674

Oups I'm sorry I bought the last clamp, apparently.... The smallest step up and/or step down ring I've found once for a isco gottingen was 52mm-30.5mm / 30.5mm-52mm

Julian, you are a lucky man, again congratulation :)

but

there is always a but ;)

1- This is not "really" a lens from Henri Chrétien (well I suppose). The baby Hypergonar does. 

2- I'm not sure step down ring is a good solution... Do not forget you have to align the lens...

For very small lens like yours you can ask "Tony"'s clamp

Or take this (it's what I'm using for my "new again" baby hypergonar (with adding spacers)) :

Why you don't ship to France ? lol :)

No, sorry I don't know, even if I'm looking thru all these kind of lenses :) "Tony Wilson" must be right, maybe Yashica.
