    Wich prime lens for polyvalent anamorphic set up, help please!

    In: Cameras

    Posted

    Hi thanks for that I'll check this lens.

    On my way back home I may have found beginning of a solution, I guess the ND filter doesn't HAVE to be in the end of the chain just before the camera (as it ment to be on Holymanta website http://www.holymanta.com).

    So what if I put it in the middle between taking and anamorphic lens? As it is EF mount on one side and MFT on the other I was thinking I can use M42 -> EF adaptor on Kowa anamorphic side and MFT -> M42 on the other. As M42 is screw mount I would be able to fix it (with extra thin adapters to adapt the diameter if necessary) rear end of Kowa anamorphic on one side and front end of taking lens using the available threads on them!

    Doing so it will end my problem of EF mount for the taking lens and open a whole world of choices of lenses as I will be back to MFT mount for the taking lens.

    Am I thinking right?

    Best.

    Hi everybody,

    Looking for some advices! I'm lost looking for the perfect lens that would come between my Rectilux/Kowa 8z combo on one side and Holymanta ND filter(I'm planning to buy shortly)/GH3 on the other side.

    My expectations listed below from most important to less important:

    - Filmlike Image quality (with contrats I don't like so much old school low contrast look)

    - Widest focal length possible without vignetting (as far as I know 35 mm on MFT with Kowa 8z, but if possibility to do wider I'll take it)

    - Brightest possible (f.2 maximum of the maximum)

    - Compacity and low weight

    - Manual Aperture

    - Low chromatic distortion

    - Declick Aperture

    - Solidity and weather seal

    - Circular Aperture (I ask too much I know…) 

    Budget up to +/- 1000 usd if I really find the perfect lens that suits.

     

    I have in mind some but they have their drawbacks:

    - Samyang 35mm T1,5 VDSLR AS UMC II: this one covers a lot of my expectations but it's so big, when adding Kowa/Rectilux/Holymanta/Gh3 I guess it would something like 35 cm long wow!!!

    - Canon FD lenses: problem to make them work with the EF mount of the Holymanta ND with an adaptor

    - SLR magic 35mm: mount compatibility problem with Holymanta EF mount

     

    So as you can see I'm stucked with EF mount on the Holymanta ND filter, that's my main problem I guess as it would be much more easy to find something suitable with MFT mount but I really need le Holymanta ND filter because of fast operation and always ready advantage. I shoot alone so this is a must for me.

     

    Also one question: is a speedbooster or equivalent which is magnifying would make a 35 mm lens to vignette with the Kowa, I have some big difficulties to understand optic theories... 

     

    Thanks in advance, best regards.

    Introducing Rectilux FF Single Focus Adapters (Rectilux 5FF, Rectilux 7FF & Rectilux 9FF Announced)

    If John delivers on all promises (which I genuinely hope he does) - I'll be willing to buy...and that is coming from a happy FM lens owner.

    I don't want to be forced into that blue or gold anodized finish though...looks too much like a sex toy with those knobbly bits (not that I would know).

    Combined with a name that sounds like 'Rectum Lumps' you start to see my (admittedly shallow) judgment on products that are announced and hyped early on, yet not fully proven and tested. 

    If the Rectilux deliver good on full frame, and if they perform well in the promised iscorama comparison test ...sign me up.

     

    Id like to see some pictures of the unit that aren't CG and some footage that isn't oppressively boring.  At least these new models are competitively priced.

    indeed.  The new concept art looks good and I see a lot of carefully thought out details in the cg drawings.  I agree, ditch those knobbly bits on the focus ring. go black anodised.  You'll be kicking yourself when you try to source a manufacturer who can offer those colours in a process that is durable.  Also, give us loads of area for a nice deep focus gear - assuming these units are gonna extend more than an iscorama during focusing we're gonna need at least 20mm or more of flat surface to attach a gear ring.  The initial test footage of the working prototype shared many moons ago doesn;t really ignite much enthusiasm for me either, So I'm basing my interest solely on concept art and performance claims for now.

    We need to see proper video tests with people in shot (Eyes in focus).  showing an 85mm on full frame.  85mm f1.4, f2or at the very least f2.8,  shallow dof, smooth locked down focus pulls, a chart test, and ultimately the Iscorama comparison we've all been waiting for.  Tests are gonna need to be shot on something current, like anA7S or hacked 5dmk3 which allows us to see the capabilities without camera limitations playing a big part in the quality.  

    Obviously the above criteria is rather challenging, but will serve to illustrate what is being offered.  I'm not put off by a lens that doesnt deliver on a chart test if it allows me other qualities, but a chart test is very good for showing how a lens will perform over its intended imaging area.  Same with  full frame capability.  it might not offer stellar results to the edges, but we'll see just what it can do.

    ​​Hi, mine is ordered in Black (that's just the computer model display). Actuall view of the real product is not available because we, first buyers, are in the first batch and this will start to be buiIt after 25 persons ordered (one bus). But for being in the ordering list is just 50 GBP then 1/2 of the total payment when production will actually start and the rest just before shipping when product is fully built and available. This is to most of us a little strange way to proceed and I think that John's communication is not tangible enough your absolutly right; most people would need to see actual product and actual footage and tests before putting so much money. But anyway I decided to trust and go on with this one as it's seems a more accomplished product than FM lens, especially for non Schneider cinelux users. As per the name and look, you guys have strange thoughts...

    By the way "Rectilux on 3FFW, 25mm stroke 0.6 to INF" according to John. And, correct me if I'm wrong John, but the moving part is only the top part, not the middle one so putting gear shouldn't be a problem at all.

    cheers. Vincent.

    2x anamorphic workflow premiere pro

    One thing to consider is that if you use 1920x1080 sequence and interpret footage as 2x aspect then you will not be able to use things like warp stabilizer because the footage does not match the sequence settings. Other than that it is a good way to do it.

    Hi, I'm new to anamorphic (and video shooting in general). I made some research but couldn't find a way to stabilize anamorphic footages. Premiere Warp not working, Loack&Load working but the result is unusable. Is stabilization a downside of anamorphic shooting? Thanks.
