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.
 

Here are stills from my upcoming short film "Dueling Alphas".  Shot with GH4 4K (firmware 1.0) with Iscorama 36.

​First of all I DO NOT  encourage you to do this, as you may damage your lens, don't blame me if you do damage your lens I followed Richg101 tutorial on how to do this.
You can use whatever tool you feel comfortable with, I used a sort of Dremel, I protected the lens with a clean film to avoid the dust going inside the lens.
Once the lips came off, I've used a grinder to smooth the surface of the cutting parts, I then cut the little iron knob to adjust the focus at the same level and made a cut in between so that I can screw in and out the knob with a screw driver, be very careful though, don't go  to flat with it.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.
I hope it helped!

cheers.
I think the main strength of the shot is in the framing.  we were walking up the hill along a path and the pathway was the perfect width for the shot.  the look comes from the use of a 50mm f1.8 wide open on a apc-s sensor. - being a crop sensor the best portion of the 50mm was used and less of the edge smear at f1.8 was captured.  the iscorama then provided the extra width that would normally be there with a full frame sensor, cropped.
 
I was also pretty lucky with the light.  it was just getting dark and i was forced to shoot at 1/50th sec - providing a cinematic single frame look.  
 
the processing involved just correcting wb and doing a grade in rgb curves.  the scene looked very similar to this when we were there.  I think I pulled up exposure on the face to make him pop a bit.

Nice tip there Hans, thanks for sharing it, that's what I got using Focus Module Isco animex olympus OM 100mm combo from different light source.
I am going to try with the UV filter in the rear.

Hi guys....been away with work recently so not many posts from me recently.
After a discussion with richg101 I decided to test the theory that introducing more optical faces into the Cinelux would result in nicer contrast and flares.
So I mounted a 72mm cheap UV filter to the rear of the Cinelux and as you can see...it helps considerably by introducing internal reflection. It Should also help intensify other similar lenses (ultrastar etc) - although I don't have mine anymore to test.
Very useful for those who are disappointed by the lackluster flares often found with these MC optics.
 
 
 
 
 

Here are a bunch of randoms...  First 2 are Lomo, the rest are all iscorama pre36.

My first test with the FM Module.  This is a few BTS, I'll try and edit the rest of the video later.  One note, a lot of the footage has the adapter misaligned.  I had my friend take the video while I was shooting photos.  He didn't tell me until later that it moved on its mount, so there's vignette and also the top of the frame isn't on the same plane as the rest of the image.  First 4K upload to youtube as well, I hope it works for those people who have large monitors.
 

Thanks Cosmio! I will have a listen.

I am reading it and enjoying it, very informative, very nice thanks a lot!!!!
I am very happy you did this.

anamorphic photography is underrated. Looks great, guys!

Definitely underrated. Not a person, nor living, but a model nonetheless.

Such a great resource! Thanks Tito.

Damn. That was some serious damage on the front of that Iscorama 54! I wouldn't have had any hope for salvation of such a lens. Incredible result after polishing and recoating!

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!

​Thanks for making this.  I look forward to more videos shot with the FM.

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:

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?

What anamorphic did you put inside the FM?Thanks for sharing, enjoy!!!​

huge update with almost all the missing chapters. Two more to go!
