  1. here's my take:

    -consider that the summicron has a protruding back element, so it might bump into your speedbooster XL and not reach infinity

    -it sounds like you're more of a proxiscope shooter instead of maxiscope. If you plan to use it as single person shooter and want to keep it light go for the proxiscope. Maxiscope is great for pro use with bigger teams, bigger sets. I would choose the proxiscope also. 

    -for clamp i see a lot of people just stack step up rings, because you can align the iscorama. I own the redstan clamp and it is amazing. Go for that and you also have a foot, so rod support is also possible from there if needed. 

    -enjoy that iscorama, still on the hunt for one. Hit me up if you ever plan to sell it. ?

    This one looks really nice setup!

    I have few questions about it if you don't mind...

    1) Your setup isn't vignetting at all with the SB XL & 58mm taking lens?

    no it's not, only when using +2.66 diopters at closest focus (because these diopters are huge)

    2) What are those wooden side handles? On the left one you can control record&shutter buttons remotely, right?

    Yes, they are handmade

    3) What is that custom named anamorphic housing solution?

    it's by rapido

    4) Have you managed to get the center of gravity with GH5+BG vs heavy anamorphic setup in the front? I mean is it balanced in your hand when you grab the top handle?

    fully balanced, does not tip over

    5) What is total weight with your setup?

    i don't know

     

     

  3. The achilles heel of the GH5 is Dynamic range imo. So when choosing between HLG and V-log I prefer more DR, thus V-log. Also as a film maker I want as much flexibility in post as possible to create a look. HLG was not designed for that. It's much more of a baked in look and if you prefer that look for your project, sure, choose it. But for creative freedom I prefer V-log much more. HLG is valuable for actual rec2020 delivery, or a work around if you don't have, or want to purchase V-log imo.  

  4. We're living in a time where the uncensored, unedited and raw media lives. This is why YouTube is so popular in my opinion. 30 minute vlogs of people rambling and saying what's on their mind. Right now the majority of viewers find this refreshing, more honest, more direct than television for example. I personally hate it. I do think this will pass though. People will get bored by this format and will look for a next development within YouTube. It's all just part of a fad, trend that will die, or transform into something else. You just have to wait it out.

    "GH5 V-Log and Hybid Log-Gamma are transformed to precisely match the color science of the Alexa, without compromise."

    "The GH Alex conversion completely transforms the GH5 image, addressing every nuance of color reproduction (from shadows to highlights, low saturation to high saturation, for every possible hue). This includes an organic rolloff which fully eliminates channel clipping."

    I found that any flat Alexa LUT works quite well on V-log. 

  6. Hey Aanamorphic shooters!,

    You're all invited to Anamorphic on a Budget in Amsterdam. Here we all can meet, network and of course show each other's anamorphic sets. The event will take place on Friday December 15th 18:00 - 21:00 at Zamenhofstraat 108 unit 201 at the camera rental Budgetcam Amsterdam.

    The GH5's are set up, Red scarlet-W, Varicam LT and the Ursa mini pro, so that we can test all our vintage lenses on beautiful focus charts for fun. Budgetcam provides hospitality. Access is free of charge. You can RSVP at http://bit.ly/2AnFVO2 or via tomas@budgetcam.nl!

    Bring your own anamorphic sets!

    Thanks Tito Ferradans and Tim Moichido!

    Anamorphic lenses are really the kind of gear people are better off to own (and learn to use) not rent.

    I respectfully disagree. Traditionally anamorphics are not bought by consumers, but strictly rented, due to their high prices. It's just us independent film makers who recently found out that stacking adapters comes close to that high end cinematic feeling. Most DP's that work with anamorphics rent them.

    I'm pretty stoked about these. Nice that Forrest Schultz (and Dan) really nailed the coating and flare. These are the first relatively affordable anamorphics on the market with a proper 2 x squeeze in PL of EF. I'd love to hear your opinions on these. I know these are still high priced for independent film makers to purchase, but I think the price at rental houses would be very interesting for all of us.

    My first 'experiment' with the Samsung and Bolex. I find it razor sharp but what a job to focus...The pancake lens is superb, but very thin. I have to practise to find the focus rings faster. Perhaps I will try an NX 45mm f1.8 lens. Question; how can you ad warp stabilizer? I do get failure, I do have to 'nest' warp stabilizer?

  10. The difference between the two SLR's is size (72 vs 77). And yes I agree, a single focus would be best. I'm still not that impressed by any minimal focus distance (0.7m at best by the rectilux). But if you align your lens and anamorphic to 5 feet for a close shot, then your single focus solution gets in closer.
