I'm sure they will listen

I KNOW they will not  :)))

would be nice, but i don't believe this will ever happen , as well as 4K 60 and 10 bit 422, they don't have those features on FS5,

FS7 is a 10K camera - does not have 4:3,
it's Sony man

I love old Nikons, Canon FDs ,  1.2  - 1.4 primes. 

don't really care much about desqueeze, and not i don't even use it on GH5, as long as i can see the whole frame it doesn't matter to me ,

but 4:3 mode is an awesome feature, can't wait til Adobe will bring the 6K footage fix

Because 1.5x will take HD or UHD (present on all cameras) and convert it to scope.

That's why

 

 

true that, but to me anamorphic is not about convenience, it is about the look:)

send it to Van Diemen

I liked the Redstan for the Bolex 16/32/1.5x very much. I recently bought one for my new Kowa C35. When I buy a new lens, I first look if Redstan has a solution. Don't save money on clamps when you buy expensive anamorphics ;-)

the one for C35 from Redstan is just the best, there is nothing even close on the market for that glass

C35 is a beautiful lens, very sharp, great contast, amazing blue flares, close focus, convenient de-squeeze, truly Hollywood quality glass, but  i use it less and less, my heart is with 2x  

GH5 is perfect camera for anamorphc shooting, it'll be even better when 6K ana mode will be delivered, but don't waste your money, fake is fake,
loss of light, weird, cut top and bottom of the oval bokeh, ugly horizontal streaks  - terrible.

If you want the sleekest and most specialised solution for a range of different lenses Redstan is your best bet. The others aren't far behind, though depending what you want. I prefer the specialised solutions rather than a one fits all mentality.

yeah, suits all my needs perfectly, although i wouldn't associate "one fits all mentality "  with Redstan. His highly specialized solutions for Kowas like16H and C35 are perfect.

after many tryouts of different manufacturers i use Redstan exclusively.

Might be off topic but just saw single focus solution adapter on eBay. Curious if anyone has any feedback on this. Looks pretty interesting.

i am getting the whole setup, the lens and the focuser from Valdas, from the tests i saw on the web looks promising, will post results of my testing

C35 is a very sharp lens, and on GH5  i can focus from 2 feet, but 1,5x is not enough to my eye,

Are there any single focus anamorphic handheld solution(s) for gh4/gh5?

Saw this, and gotta have something like this:

that was shot with dual focus setup nikkor+kowa 8z

to render it out in Premiere in 5K  you need to switch H264 to H265

How (sharp/character/flare) is the MIR37+Kowa combo?

no clue :)) still in the mail, but soon, i hope :)), but my copy of Kowa is awesome!

 today i can mount any lens on M4/3 system, even more than on EF or PL, i don't understand this

GH5 is coming very soon, i'll try to balance  it with MIR37 and Kowa 16H, i think it should work. will post some setup and footage :)))

bzpop, don't compare John Barlow and this man ))) he just get lenses from body like any other. Many people rehouse 35nap in ex-USSR. You also can do this. You really want to use this setup? Curious to see. You have a skills, I know. This man positioned himself as producer, ok. I don't try to sell, I talk about all what I do. His solution...hmmm. To many cons for me. Heavy, bulky, slow focus with breathing, fix squeeze factor on post, noise from engines, nuclear station for power (joke, haha)... Enough?.. Rectilux beat all this. If all will be good with this system, no problem. Profs - yes, partial solved double focus. How much good this work and how good aligned lenses, we will see after good footages. Федя, зря ты так. Ты ж разбираешься в видеосъемке, у тебя есть нормальный сетап, просто добавь оптический сингл. Да, я не разобрался, кто ты такой, просто в тот момент, когда ты запостил инфу про Крамара, у нас с ним в разгаре были баталии. Человек просто не умеет признавать ошибки, как же, ему надо быть непререкаемым авторитетом. Да, ему надо отдать должное, в чем-то он молодец. Но пока я не вижу плюсов в этом решении. Ну да, как-то переводится фокус. Остальное перевешивает этот плюс. Посмотрим, насколько хорошо он справится в этот раз.

 

 слыш, я те не Федя, доктор

Looks nice, but too bulky and complicated, man. 

Он и здесь наследил, Миша, а так чтоб никого не обсирать, не умеешь?

yeah Dr Verbel, your design rocks! everybody else sucks :) ) )

You guys are so negative. I think he's created something cool that I could not do, which he will probably improve upon. Give him some encouragement, not so much negativity!

i agree,  and don't share "Dr. Verbel's" negativity, the more people  trying to do any kind of research and development in anamorphic glass area  - the better for filmmakers,

people like John Barlow and Andrey Kramar, inventor of PAS SINGLE,   trying to bring affordable anamorphic solutions to us,  indie operators.

total respect and best of luck!

SLR Magic rangefinder lived on my camera for couple days, and went back home:)

it softens picture, not a lot, but still, and it makes setup bulky, for the same reason i am not after Core DNA, not giving up my small form factor for anything, well relatively small,

so most likely Isco 36 or 42, but i still can't decide between single focus and 2x squeeze, 2x is so freakin good, i just love it!

Basically, no single focus lens less than $2k nowadays.

yeah , i guess i'll bite the iscorama bullet

you will most definitely have challenges to balance camera with anamorphic adapter on a handheld gimbal like H1 or similar;

i own Pilotfly H2, pretty strong unit with the max load up to almost 5Lb, but due to a limited space on the back of the camera i think main challenge would be to use counterbalance weights, and without that it'll be impossible to achieve proper balance. (unless pancake lens and really small adapter, like baby hypergonar are used)

Larger gimbals don't have that limitation, but that's two hands operation.
