You've set your standards too high if that's how you judge the quality of a lens or camera. There's nowhere to go from the bottom but up. The way I see it a master can make anything look great. They can make the most painful experience look easy. I want tools that are sooooo good it's like cheating. Yeah, you could practice driving nails into wood with your fist... but a hammer might be a better choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect size, build quality and price though. Would have liked to shoot more with it but they wouldn't let it out of the show and I much prefer the Iscorama for what I do. Bingo. With modern computerized design and high quality materials, building a sharp, functional lens is easy. Building one that has charm, character and panache is a whole different story. BTW, if you are looking for a successor to the Iscorama, the new Aivascope 1.5x seems like it fits the bill. Single focus mechanism and 50mm coverage on full frame.

MeanRevert Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Sorry if this is a rookie question but can I assume that this lens is manual focus only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Solid assumption. MF lens indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majoraxis Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 He says it will be 700 euros... less interesting at the higher price, but it does look to flare a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanRevert Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 While someone was mentioning the SLR anamorphot adapters, what do you guys think about this setup on a Pocket 4K? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart0less Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Just like their new gimbal, this one is also going on IndieGoGo: "Cinematize your shots!" ? Is there even a verb like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to see how these tools performs in the hands of a complete buffoon... that way, if it still seems good, then it must be brilliant. give it to me, give it to me.... i'll give it a go?

Alt Shoo Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 This will be an awesome lens to use with the JVC-Gyls300! Can’t wait to try this out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocool22 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 This one doesnt have a great look imo. Also a 1.33 doesnt really stand out for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Oh yes please... I want that cinematic-filmic-sci-fi-look for cheap. I want my footage look professional. Especially sun rays shining through leaves. And ordinary people downtown (in slow-motion of course). Add some musicians work and I am good to go! Looking forward to show "my work" on YT. andrgl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to show "my work" on YT. er... get in line ? thinking about it a little more. Does it matter ? Considering all of the available content for viewing on the www, is it such a sin ? Everyone has to start somewhere. Honing the craft some might call it. I think the trick might be making it stand out from the crowd, but that could be just me I have heard it said imitation is the sincerest form of flattery lots of aspiring musicians copy popular artists once you have it down pat you can branch out with variations and make your own style. Sorry for the lecture I you don't like something you always click on the next link Personally i think anyone posting online is doing something pretty brave, considering how anonymity tends to breed some pretty destructive critics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 i signed up as an interested party, should entitle me to a discount and free shipping. However i notice on other pages sirui state that spend more than $49 and the shipping is free so maybe just a discount then ? but every dollar counts i guess. i'll let you know how things progress. Now to start saving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heart0less Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Great comparison. It's nice to have everything tested by one and the same person - a lot of variables drop out. The only thing I don't like about Sirui is how easily it flares. Street lights causing all those streaks? Come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 their still pre production are they? hopefully they tone them down a little we are alot like Goldilocks aren't we, not too many flares, not too little flaring ? heart0less 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people dislike blue flares, whereas others would do everything (no kidding, even to the point of removing lens coatings) to get them. To each their own. (( : I myself got rid of two anamorphic adapters only because: 1) they didn't flare enough, 2) and if they did show some occasional flare, it was ugly greenish. Right now, I own a beautiful Schneider Cinelux that gives me amber/magentish streaks. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
