Schneider super cinelux surgery.
I was tired of those big lips in front of my Schneider super cinelux version 1, so today I managed to do a little surgery. I did it because now it can go all the way down the FM, this mod allows me to use an 85mm lens with my 5D without vignetting. It worked great inside the FM with his lips too, but I was limited to use a lens from 100mm to above. So you don't need to this mod, I DO NOT encourage you to do this as you may damage your lens. Better be safe than sorry!

This is a funny one, is called "KITCHEN STORIES"
Swedish efficiency researchers come to Norway for a study of Norwegian men, to optimize their use of their kitchen. Folke Nilsson is assigned to study the habits of Isak Bjørvik.
By the rules of the research institute, Folke has to sit on an umpire's chair in Isak's kitchen and observe him from there, but never talk to him. Isak stops using his kitchen and observes Folke through a hole in the ceiling instead. However, the two lonely men slowly overcome the initial post-war Norwegian-Swede distrust and become friends.

this is my friend, very good musician

Has anyone ever used or know if it's possible to use this this version of the Schneider cinelux lens with the FM lens module?
I am using it, it's great, no problem at all.
There is also a video from anamorphic shop using the same lens

Hans and I thought that it would be nice to have our FM video channel on vimeo.
Share as many video as you like here:

Great flares there, I like it.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the explanation. I assume it would be a similar process with the Kowa. Not looking forward to drilling holes in anything lol
Yeah! you are welcome!
Maybe you won't need to drill anything with your kowa, I don't own one, I don't know the length of the Kowa, and by the way the only part that I drilled it's not on the FM itself, but on the metal tube that came with the FM, which can easily be replaced and purchased if you need in any store. I haven't touched the FM.
I know you have some good store over there like Home Depot, which is full of good stuff.

What's going on there exactly?
Sorry, I am not sure if you are asking me, but anyway if you are, I will try to explain.
Once the Sankor is naked from his metal focus ring I've placed it in the FM, I then placed the metal tubeI that comes with the FM inside, and only a part of it was sticking out of the FM, almost the same size than the black collar that come with the FM.
So I placed the black collar on the top of the metal tube, drew the holes to be drilled.
I drilled three holes through the metal tube to let the white plastic screws go through the black collar and the metal tube, this way the white plastic screws reached the sankor and stopped it.
Now I can align the anamorphic the way I want and I can exchange taking lens easily, and since your taking lens needs to be set to infinity to work, you don't need to attach it to the anamorphic the way I did before, you can shift the FM only if you are using zoom lenses and want a different focal length.
This way the anamorphic is very close to the taking lens and I have seen improvements in the images.
I hope I helped you out, any other questions feel free to ask, i will try to answer.

After playing around for a VND solution for the taking lens on the FM I've found a good solution.
I've used a Cokin double-threaded 72mm VND. (The front filter thread is 77mm).
I screwed a collapsible rubber lens hood to the 77mm front and folded back to form a rubber ring grip that controls the VND spin. The cool thing is that the lens hood is also double threaded, so the internal thread ring of the hood provides a barrier when positioning to the cinelux rear or FM aluminium mounting tube.
This means that there is no risk of the ND glass or anamorphic rear touching - yet it provides a very nice close alignment, without having to hard mount together.
I've used:
72mm Cokin PURE Harmonie Variable NDX filter
Kood 77mm 77 Universal Rubber Lens Hood (nice knurled grip on outside)
49-72mm step ring (or whatever starting diameter for your taking lens)
lovely Hans, I am going to give it a go, thank you so much!!!!

I commissioned RAF Camera to make me a metal focus gear for my FM lens, he's now selling them on his site. I expect to receive mine in a few days (so I'll see if my measurements were correct!) and I'll report back when I've got it up and running...in case others here might be interested in purchasing, here's the link:
http://rafcamera.com/en/gear-fm-lens-88-107-32mm
I don't have any association with Raf other than me being a happy customer of his for a few years...so I'm not getting a discount or kickback for sharing this link - I just thought a few people here might be interested in getting a quality metal gear for their FM lens.
I'm sure AnamorphicShop will release their own focus ring in the new year in ABS or metal, but I needed to get one made before then.
Hans, it looks nice, I am going to buy one too, or shall I wait for yours to arrive, just to make sure it will work.
Will it work with my fotga dp500? or do I need to replace something on it?
Where is Raf located ? Is it in Europe?
Thanks again!!!!

Mindaugas answer me today, he is going to call FEDEX tomorrow and told me don't trust the tracking... i don't know, im really desperate.
Ok that's good news, please let us know when your FM arrives.
I am sure this inconvenience will be sorted out.
Take care
-
I need help , if any of you have another way to locate Mindaugas . The problem is that my FM leads from the 18th sent but fails to Spain , is turning the world again and again. And from the 23 Mindaugas not answer my emails . Fedex does not give any solution.
Excuse me Julio, I would like to help you out of this nightmare, I would like to understand what is going on here, could you kindly explain why fedex doesn't give you a solution or a support? Please, could you kindly explain what action have you been taking with fedex? Maybe some of us can give you an advice or had the same experience and can help you out . Any of you on this forum?
You live in Spain right? How the hell your FM is going around the world , where is the mistake?
Have you ever received any support from fedex? And what did they say to you, How they explained to you.
I mean you have the right to receive your package, fedex is not doing this in the right way, right? I guess they are responsible and they must respond and support you. It's absurd!!!!!
Please let me know more.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Now I understand why Cosimo had to drill the aluminum tube piece - otherwise I can't see how you'd secure the small size of the other anamorphics. I'll be doing some measurements and seeing if I can get some support for the Kowa, but for now I'll be shooting with the Isco. I might get a Schneider just to compare which is better. I really wish they found a way to make the inner section longer so that you can use it as the stressed member, not the anamorphic. Overall build quality is good, but the front cap doesn't fit well and I have to use gaffer tape to secure it. For a first run I think this thing has a lot of potential. Did I say it was HUGE? LOL
Nahua, when I get more time I will show you how I did it, I will post some close photos on how I clamped the sankor to the FM, meanwhile I did one more video test.

Ok, so this is what I've come up with so far using what bit's I had lying around. Basically this setup allows light-proof and hard linkage between the taking lens and the cinelux rear, yet allows free spinning of the VND in the middle section of the ring assembly.
To make it work you need to get a cheap double threaded CPL filter and remove the glass. This give you a rotating double threaded filter (in my example 72mm). The purpose of this empty spinning filter is so that the VND can spin freely when coupled together - without unscrewing itself from the other rings.
Then attach a double threaded VND filter (in my case 72mm Cokin 'Slim Pure Harmonie') to the empty CPL filter. The cokin VND has a front female thread of 77mm (other VND's may not have a front thread but this one does)
Attach that to a 77-72mm step down ring....Then screw into the FM cinelux 72mm rear thread adapter ring.
Once assembled and all rings tightened together properly - it gives a nice VND solution that is sandwiched between adapter rings. In my case I am using taking lenses with a 49mm front thread, but that step down from 72mm can be whatever is needed. The distance between taking lens optic and cinelux rear is just under 30mm - which does not seem to cause any vignette issues when shooting 85mm + with 4:3 ML raw on canon 5DmkIII.
It is a work in progress, but does allow your favorite taking lens to be 'hard' attached to the FM lens if you want. So the whole setup can be treated as if a monoblock design. The cool thing is the taking lens can twist into the lens mount as normal, as the linkage to the cinelux will allow rotation.
If I were to be using a non-cinelux type anamorphic inside the FM, I suspect a good solution would be to simply have a VND screwed onto the taking lens - with a rubber lens hood attached to the front thread of the VND. This would allow a bit of light-proofing of the join between taking lens and anamorphic rear, without hard linkage or screw fitting of any additional rings.
Thanks Hans, I will have a close look at this.

The a7s has a digital zoom allowing me to shoot at a 1.2 crop which perfectly fits my 2.66 crop. Pretty much full frame. Some of the shots you can see the vignette of the anamorphic on the edges because these shots were actual full frame. 120fps stuff was APS-C.
Yes, sure, you've mentioned this before, it's a nice function, we have the same on ML 5D, but it's x3 crop, well actually a bit less than 3., I am going to try if it works with my Helios.
-
Some 120fps stuff mixed in and more gorgeous New Mexico.
Lovely as always Artiswar, how did you manage to use an Helios 44 58mm?
I guess A7s in APS-C mode. I love the colors and the dreamy look.
Thanks for sharing.

For mirror-less cameras unfortunately...the flange focal distance on your (and my) 5DmkIII does not allow an internal ND setup like that. So the best solution would be to use a regular screw-on VND or fixed ND filter at the rear of the FM lens. When I am back home tomorrow I will post an image of the VND setup I constructed - it's pretty simple but it works well.
Ok, what a shame, yes please, post some photos, that will be great, thanks again man!

Very nice photos there.
May I ask you guys how do I take an anamorphic photo? I mean do I have to shoot at max raw resolution?
If yes, how do I go about it in post using a 2x anamorphic lens for example with a such big resolution?
Do I have to apply the same method as in the video?
It would be nice to hear your workflow on this.
Thank you so much.
