Hi

I'm desperately looking for a VM Anamorphic Lens 1.5x. 
Can anyone help me out? 

Thanks 
Eric
 

Hi there,

have anyone of you guys heard of 'SOLA' anamorphics before? Saw some on the german eBay, but couldn't find any information about them ....

Hello, 

sorry for interrupting: 
Can someone please confirm if it is possible to monitor the GH5 in anamorphic mode (in 4k not 6k) on an external monitor via hdmi? No extra recorder needed? 

Thanks in advance.

1080p 4:3 doesn't exist on other pannys either. I can see the draw card for higher frame rates or really slow computers, but honestly the IQ drop you get with anamorphic makes 1080p from most cameras look pretty crappy imo. If you can it's much better to just film in 4K and downsample or make proxies if you need to. On GH5 it's even another level again with the 6K mode, it just makes anamorphic lenses look so nice, the way they take the harshness off what is mostly a pretty digital looking sensor/image, it makes me want to shoot everything in 6K... but then I have no 60p  same with HLG.

Is it true that you can monitor the GH5 in anamorphic mode in 4k with any external monitor? But not in 6k.

Hi, 

there never came a firmware update out which allows hdmi out or record in 1080p right? Annoyed of it.. have you found a workaround?

Hi everyone,

for several weeks now I am tending to buy an anamorphot. As there are quite a few differences between all of them I am bit overwhelmed by them. 
I am shooting in ASP-C. For the taking lens I either have the SIGMA 30mm 1.4 or the Helios 44-2 58mm. 

So have you got any recommendations for beginners like me? I've seen the Hypergonar HiFi 2 on eBay which is quite cheap but more than heavy. And it requires double focusing - which would not be a problem for me - by now. As I am not interested in shooting on a tripod I'm looking more for a lighter one. I want to use it on my steadicam or handheld. 

Should I give the Hypergonar a try as my first anamorphot? Anyone got experience with it? Haven't seen any suitable clamp for it.. probably as it's just to heavy or?

Thanks in advance,
Eric
