I really liked your comment about just shooting with gear that makes it fun! I know us photographers get really hung up on needing to use the BEST tool for the task, but some people seem to forget that at the end of the day most of us got into photography for the fun of it! When I first got into photography as a 10/11yr old, all I had was my Mom's cheap plastic point and shoot camera and I had a BLAST! Ever since then I find myself trying to recapture that feeling. Like most, I've definitely caught some Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS) where I buy gear I'll never actually use because I think that will make photography as fun as it was years ago. But on the flip side, the last couple years I've decided to slim down my gear to only two cameras and I've really enjoyed it more than when I had a ton of cameras and gear! Keep up the great videos Lukasz! 📸🙂
Thanks!! I'm glad you share the same sentiment. I find trying out unusual lenses like this brigs a lot of enjoyment to my shooting these days, but even with a simple 28 or 35 I have an awesome time. It's all about exploring the world and discovering things. :)
Saw this yesterday on Patreon and loved it! Decided to save my comment until it went live here. Would definitely be interested in trying one of these lenses after seeing how it looked here. Also, I appreciated the little notes that popped up with information on movies! The effort paid off for sure.
Glad you enjoyed it!! It would be a fun project to shoot on film and then figure out a way to develop with an enlarger that has an anamorphic element. :)
Lukasz, I recognize the demo photo at 1:20, I think you took that at the start of our workshop the other day! Thanks again for the amazing workshop, it was so great to learn from you and work together for a few hours. I'll be sure and tag you when I post some of my Tokyo pictures. :)
My Sirui saturn 35mm anamorphic (the lighter version) has become my main lens for photography so I'm happy to see other photographers dabbling with anamorphic shooting :)
Nice!! Yeah, I was torn between the two. But Sirui told me the Venus version was the pro one so I took it hahah, even though it's heavier. I wonder how it compares optically to the Saturn.
@EYExplore I know the saturn was initially aimed at FPV drones, small rigs, and such, but I'm not sure why they call the Venus the "pro" line. The optical formula is virtually the same. The Saturn does have better focus breathing and constant squeeze factor along all the focus range.
More video clips Lukas! Love it man 🤙🏼keep it up. Always makes me itch to get out with my a7r even more I’m lucky my job allows me to take my camera with me on the road every night. Never know what shot is waiting to be taken!
Enjoyable and instructive vid, Lukaz. Appreciate the PS demo of “unsquish” (new technical term😊). Can the correction be done in Lightroom? Other YT posts about this kind of lens tend to skip over editing stuff. When checking live view is the image compressed? Good subname for the vid, IMO, “Forced Creativity”😊. BTW, I understand there’s at least one anamorphic add on lens available for the iPhone. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it! I don't think the correction can be done in Lightroom. I don't use LR but use the similar Adobe Camera Raw and couldn't find a way to do it. I wish it was possible! Yes, in the viewfinder the image is squished. You get used to it though. :)

Every walk with Lukas is awesome. The workshop is great, too. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed the workshop too! :)

What a neat lens. Thanks for posting this.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching! :)
Love the Tokyo glow!
The glowiest of cities! :)

Lukas the Master 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 !!!
You're too kind! :)

Dobra robota jak zawsze. Zdjęcie tej taksówki 20:36 wygrało ten odcinek dosłownie jak kadr wyjęty z jakiegoś filmu.
Też tak myślę. To zdecydowanie moje ulubione zdjęcie z sesji. :)
at this point, even cheap TV production crime shows use anamorphic lenses, it's so funny every time i see it
Ah really? I guess everyone wants that look haha. :)
Nice. Great lens.
Thanks! :)
Confusing but dope lol, thanks
Thanks for watching! :)
Interesting, i like it
Thanks!! :)
Another difference is it uses the whole sensor so nothing is cropped you get the full resolution
Right, very true, which matters a lot on lower resolution sensors and for video (which down samples to 4k). :)

Must be nice doing street and not being worried about getting shot or mugged for your gear.
It is nice! :)
Squoosh!
Haha. :)
Sirui just made a super-light, super-affordable, AF(!) 85mm 1.4(!) ...it could make for a very interesting street-photography video, just saying 😏😁
Oh thank you for telling me! I'm going to ask them about it right now! :)
@@EYExplore that's awesome! Thank you! 🙏😊
To quote my dear departed mother....."That's just too much sugar for a dime.". I'd not enjoy photography with that lens.
Haha, I don't get it, but as I say in the video, it's not for everyone. :)
@@EYExplore It's a very old saying, meaning something is overly complicated. 😉
