Nikkor Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Great shots Sebastien, like all what you have been sharing. Btw, how do you manage to focus handheld so well ? Sebastien Farges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzNimbus Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Absolutely gorgeous! I must try this some time with my A7, however, I only have the 8/19/1.5 so I imagine I'll need a pretty long taking lens. Sebastien Farges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastien Farges Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Very cool! what is the florescent light? is that a portable tube? Thanks Lucian ! :) It's a simple pink neon with wire. And a electric LED Ikea lamp on some shot with the anamorphic flare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks araucaria ! Focus is not easy, especially on full frame Sony A7, I'm used to work on M43... I can use the focus assist on the A7 while filming, which is a plus. Sometimes the technique in anamorphic is keeping the same distance between me and my focused subject in motion, in a handled traveling for example).

Thanks OzNimbus :) I really don't know what lens you need with the 8/19/1.5... For the 16/32/1.5 the minimum is 50mm on FF. Maybe you'll need a 85mm, or a little less, as i do for my baby Hypergonar.

Dave Reeve Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'm selling one of these lenses if anyone's interested - a bit flat out on an edit at the moment but I'll take some stills when I can and post them. It's a gorgeous lens, as is the 8/19/1.5. Great photos Seb - some real gems in there. And you're a top duck wrangler it seems.

eoskoji Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I am so Intrigued by the Sony A7 as my camera for stills but the price (1300EUR) compared to a used Mark II for 900 EUR gives me a hard time to decide. I love the RAW files of the A7 but the video-mode, as Andrew recently posted, is a major let down. And, Mark II would be RAW with the possibility of a correct live-view of an anamorphic setup. And I might be afraid the Sony is cause of its size just to small for a Helios and Isco for example... But I really like that compact setup Sebastian. Its really nice. How difficult is it for you to judge regarding focus? Sebastien Farges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How difficult is it for you to judge regarding focus? As Andrew said, I think The Mark II look like a dinosaur compare to this new generation of hybrid camera, such as the Sony A7. I'm not so unhappy with the video mode of the Sony A7. I don't know if you watch my "One week with Sony A7 + Bolex" on my Vimeo, but the 24P mode looks good to me, despite aliasing problems... Anyway it has less problems than my OMD E-M5. I'm shooting images with it today, with the new SLR Magic Anamorphot, stay tune, soon online! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoskoji Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The Mark II might be a dinosaur, but its still a decent performer video- and stillswise. If the A7 would have that amazing IS of the OMD, I wouldnt think about it for one second. Its really a tough decision. The A7 would be 400EUR (!) cheaper in Tokyo but when I was there in december they had no international models yet. Mhhh... anyways... if that anamorphic displaying at the Mark II works and I do have a peaking that would sound like an ideal run and gun setup. Though I hate the fact that you cant tilt the screen. ahhh... thx sebastien for the pics. Looking good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastien Farges Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Ah a talented filmmaker! There's some great stuff in here and i love the warmth and feel of the piece (beyond just how it looks). I'm still not keen on the flare but I think that's always going to be a personal preference - for me it just doesn't have a place in something that's more a drama or documentary - unless it's there to represent something. I've got a Century that does me just fine so I'll stick with that for now - but the SLR Magic is a more interesting space to watch now. Does the LA7200 still offer the possibility of a wider taking lens - if it does then perhaps all of the lenses can sit together in one bit 1.33 happy family. Thanks Dave :) As far as I know the LA7200 goes from 17mm and the SLR 20mm... So the difference is not important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
