Justin Bacle Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Here is a quick comparison between the anamorphic lenses I have. The goal is to compares the flares and sharpness. Hypergonar Hi-Fi 2 Dyaliscope Champion Singer/Sankor 16D (uncoated) Elmoscope 1 Isco Ultra-Star Schneider Cinelux. All shots with : BMMCC Mitakon Lens Turbo II Helios 44-2 Focused to infinity, using a +1 close up diopter (Hama) except for the cinelux which used the Rectilux Hardcore DNA (Sorry for the misaligned Cinelux shot, didn't see it until edit.) Shot in Raw 3:1, edited and graded in Resolve. Applied the same color correction to all the shots. I chose this lens, so that every anamorphic adapter would not show vignetting. Equivalent focal length is 58 (Helios 44-2) * 0.72 (Lens Turbo) * 2.88 (BMMCC) = 120mm (FF) The flares from the Hypergonar and Dyaliscope are just epic. I really like the subtle flares of the Elmo I The flares of the ultrastar and cinelux are very muted, as expected. The Singer (Sankor) 16D shot is just to show what happens if you want to uncoat your lens What do you think ?

PepperJay Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Great compilation! I like the Singer/Sankor for over-the-top sci-fi applications, and (surprisingly) the Cinelux for the subtle ones. Was the lack of contrast due to the Helios? Does the Lens Turbo II have any affect on the same? Justin Bacle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Lens Turbo II have any affect on the same? The Lens Turbo does not remove sharpness from my experience, but add a slight blue flare. I think that the lack of contrast has more to do with my grading than to the helios as it was closed down to f/2.8. But you're right, the helios is not as contrasty as modern lenses. Keep in mind that the Singer/Sankor 16D I have is partially uncoated (front element), so your results ught differ 17 hours ago, Dick Sweeney said: HiFI 2 for sharpness and flares Yep, the Hi-Fi 2 flares are epic ! I find the Dyaliscope to be quite good too PepperJay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
