I like the look. I don’t like the composition for most of the shots. Anyway, I learned today focus peaking will work. And I find anamorphic lens appealing to me more and more.
Thanks for watching!
Just stumbled upon your channel, and I'm grateful I did. As an Olympus user, its awesome to see a professional photographer using this equipment. I'm not a professional (would love to be but wouldn't know where to start) but having the ability to afford professional grade equipment to improve my photography without needing a massive loan is a factor some people over look. Love the fact that you are also in Australia, like myself. I have been following Peter Forsgard and Robin Wong but they're not as local as yourself. You're an inspiration mate and I shall catch up on the back log of videos, etc, over the next few days.
Hi Dwayne, thanks so much for stopping by and for the kind words! Keep practising and getting out to shoot as much as possible, offer your services as a second shooter or assistant to learn from others :) Gear is bloody expensive these days, but you can take awesome shots even with the lower models! Peter and Robin have great work and do a lot for the system! Not really in the same genre of shooting that I do, but have some great knowledge and tips! thanks again for following along :)
m43 gang 👊🏻 The flares at 13:10 look tasty man. Oval anamorphic Bokeh is decent too. Good job mate 🤘🏼
Hey dude! Good to hear from you! how have you been? coping ok with all the world chaos? The 1080 50p on the Oly isnt good at all, but the Blackmagic should arrive next week so keen to give it a good run on that and the 35mm too!
They honestly stand out -- Looks great
Thanks so much mate!
Awesome video man !! The stills are stunning, especially when the sun came out. Cool location too :). Keen for the next one !!
Thanks man! It was heaps of fun. Cant wait to try the 35mm on the BMPCC! Next video is nearly done. Aerials from India ;)
Etchd Photography Oooh nice, I’m sure it’ll be stunning !! Love your aerial content man 🔥👊
@@amishparadise1924 Thats correct, because it's a $1000 lens and not a 50,000 one. If you're creating blockbuster movies then you should be using the expensive glass, I'm not sure anyone is denying that?
Those woods look like a movie scene 😍 Great video man!
Thanks legend next stop Hollywood haha
@@etchd_ Get it!! Haha
04:18 Wait, are you using the fold-out screen for taking stills? C'mon man... Don't disappoint me like this.
What's wrong with that? Seriously asking. I'm really new at this but do this some.
Loved the 16:9 high iso style
Thanks so much mate! it was super fun to play around with!
@@etchd_ pls make another photoshoot using anamorphic, i love when i see but they are kind rare on youtube
Damn, I adore your work. It has so much soul in it. You hardly find that nowadays. But your images? They speak to me. Thank you for this great video!
Hi Ben, thanks so much! I appreciate the love mate. One of my first youtube videos like this and I hope to do more now that I have a bit more experience ha! So many more portrait ideas I'd love to shoot.
Ahhh love this brother
Thanks home boy! Hope the trips going well 🙏
how to de-squeezed in Lightroom?
Nice video 🎉🎉🎉 watching it as a olympus om-d e-m1x fan ❤️❤️❤️
Hi mate! Thankyou for the kind words! I appreciate the love
@@etchd_ and nice work ❤️❤️❤️keep it up 🎉🎉🎉 did you use sirui anamorphic lens with adapter or direct mft mount?
Just started looking into anamorphic lenses as a way to do a digital XPan setup without losing resolution to cropping the image. How was it shooting photos squeezed in terms of composition? Did you just get used to how it looked after a while?
Hi Rich, thanks for the comment. It was a bit tricky to start with, but overall, not too bad. Because you can still see what is in the frame, your mind just makes it work. I plan on doing another of these videos, but I'll probably use a monitor with a desqueezed image.
Ayyy yt fam!! Looks like a great lens to play around with man!
Yoo thanks broo! I reckon you'd look good with those flares. Bare chest n all...
Etchd Photography hahaha come at me bro
Awesome video dude great job 🔥🔥
Thanks so much man! 🙏 Keen to get the new 35mm next week and run it on the Blackmagic!
Really wasn’t that convinced by the lens and sent it back after a few weeks. Too clean and not enough anamorphic feeling to it. It was too narrow a field of view and only x1.4 didn’t really cut it for me. Good effort from Sirui, but not worth it.
Yeah I agree that the narrow field of view is too tight! I found that from the beginning as well. That's why I was using it for something different like this! For a lens that costs $1000, and that I can use for free I'm not complaining!
Yeah. I had it for free too in return for a video. But I disliked it too much to endorse it. The thing is that getting it to ‘use it for free’ still doesn’t mean it’s worth recommending to people who have to pay for it.
@@chriseyrewalker Yeah fair enough man. I guess for the professional level use that you're filming at it might not be good enough. But I honestly don't really mind when I didn't review it here, I'm not a professional film maker and it was fun to use and create something new.
I see Photoshop saves the image to a TIFF after I change the format of the photo which means I loose information when I edit again in Lightroom. Do you know how to change the ratio and still keep the photos in RAW?
Compliments on your great work btw.
Hey mate! Yep it does! A tiff is a lossless file format so you won't lose anything 😁👌
@@etchd_ But surely you loose information when you edit that TIFF again in Lightroom? For example-the whites can't be recovered after the raw file has been converted to TIFF or PSD. Now I do all the editing BEFORE I change the ratio. But that works too :¬)
@@Alfatruly You still shouldnt lose anything if you havent modified any of those settings, if you are just resizing it then editing after theoretically you should be sweet!
This would be the deal breaker for me. I have many presets and LUTs that tend to prefer being actioned on a genuine RAW than Tiff. You can actually see some differences when choosing to use them on Tiff vs DNG etc.
I don't know how I would feel about editing on a squeezed image and then desqueezing at the end.
I guess if I wanted to be a purist I could take the RAW DNG or .RAF to PS, desqueeze and then without leaving then visit Camera RAW and use that to edit in a similar environment to LR (basically just edit these files within PS and Export as Jpgs for posting etc.
@@SummersSnaps Thanks for your feedback
There's actually a way to modify a lens that can give you that look! Can't remember exactly how to it haha...probs a bit risky but it works. Nice video man love your results :)
Hey mate! Ahh right! I think I'd also be too scared ha, would just buy a lens adaptor instead ha. Can't wait to try the 35mm on the Blackmagic soon!
@@etchd_ Yeah definitely not worth it hahaha, adaptor might be the way to go. Oooooh that would look so nice!
@@bendroege let me know if you end up modifying one 😂
modifying lenses to "animorphake" as they call it. Always results in a destruction of image quality (softens the image, creates fringing, not only that but you have to put it on perfectly or the squeeze won't be right.). These lenses are amazing right outa the box!
This was nice.
Awesome, thanks so much!
Nice work 👌
Hey thanks so much for the love!
good video man! ...but why did you write 75mm equivalent for a 50mm mft lens?? It should be 100mm (the factor is x2)
Hey thanks so much dude! Appreciate the love! It gets a bit confusing! That would be true if it was a conventional lens, but you have to then divide the 100mm by 1.33x for the desqueeze and you get 75mm. It's actually about 76 if you work it out to true sensor I believe
@@etchd_ okay I understand now. Thanks!
Very cool video! Subscribed to your channel now. Nice to meet you.
Thanks so much Robert! Appreciate the support.
@@etchd_ no worries Matt!
I always though anamorphic was getting uw picture, basically the letterbox cinema format...
Hi mate! Yes it does, to the extent of the Anamorphic stretch factor! The good ones stretch about 2x!
Will it work on a Sony a6400?
How could you de-squeezed the photos on Lightroom?
Hi Daniel, you cant desqueeze in Lightroom, it needs to be done in Photoshop then put back in lightroom!
@@etchd_ if you’re taking shots with the camera image settings set at 4:3, what would be the way to turn it to the right ratio?
@@r.in.shibuya Hi mate. So export from lightroom into photoshop then go up to IMAGE - IMAGE SIZE - MULTIPLY THE X VALUE BY 1.33 AND MAKE SURE THE Y VALUE STAYS THE SAME - HIT OK - FILE SAVE - EDIT IN LIGHTROOM. Let me know if that doesn't work!
@@etchd_ Thanks eventually figured it out. Pro tip for your viewers... Pixelmator for iOS can edit the raw file, for a quick desqueeze.
@@r.in.shibuya No worries at all! Oh I used to use that software many years ago! great that it works for your workflow :)
Don't have it, but I wonder if stabilization even works with that lens?
Hi mate. Yeah it definitely does as the stabilisation happens at the sensor level in the oly body. So it doesn't matter what lens Is attached!
@@etchd_ On your movie (wich is great btw) I see stabilization is off. Em1x doesnt have anamorphic stabilisation mode like gh5, so my question is how does it perfomes on olympus body.
do the edges get cropped out when you desqueeze
Hey dude! Naa not at all! So on this camera and others that shoot at 16:9, once you desqueeze you get a 2:4.1 Cinemascope aspect. If you shoot using the Anamorphic setting on the GH5 or Blackmagic, you use the full 4:3 sensor and once you desqueeze you get a 16:9 but at a higher resolution than normal which is cool! Just depends on what look you want. As you can see the images ended up being 16:9 because the camera shot it at the 4:3 sensor. But the video was shot at 16:9 so had the full anamorphic effect!
Hey man how do you edit anamorphic photos...? thanks
Your crop factor equivalency is inaccurate. Since it's squeezed, the top of the from is the same crop factor (75mm equivalent) But the width of the frame becomes (Focal x Crop factor) / Animorphic squeeze. So on the fuji its (50 x 1.5) / 1.33 which equals 56.3mm. So on the witch you're almost getting the full use of the focal length! =)
Hi Spencer, thanks so much for the message mate! I totally agree with you on those calculations, they are the same as what I used actually! This camera is an Olympus M4/3 so the crop is 2x. Perhaps the more correct way of me saying 'equiv' would have been 75mm equiv focal length with a 50ish focal width. Have you had a chance to play with the lens? super fun! Im picking up the 35mm as we speak, just wish my Blackmagic had arrived in time for the video :/
@@etchd_ My bad, coulda sworn you were using the Fuji. But yes, you're correct. And I did actually pick them up. I love the look they produce. Just waiting for it in the mail. I'm sure you'll be blown away when you get your Black Magic too. You can even pick up a speedbooster if you dont have one already. Get that Super 35 look.
@@spencerselover Hey mate, no worries at all ha! Great that you love the lens! Im keen to use the 35mm more after playing with it on the weekend. I'm dropping a mini film I made with it tonight so make sure you check it out! Keen as for the Pocket 4k though, will not get the speedbooster yet. I have so many native lenses I cant justify spending more yet!
Lovely images - music's a bit ott though!
Thanks Graham!

Hi Mate! thanks so much for the love I appreciate it :)
First
Haha by a whisker over D! Haha
Somehow it doesn't match for portrait photography
What do you use to desqueeze stills?
Same question I wanted to ask him 😁
Hey guys, sorry for the late reply! did you check out the description??? Import to Lightroom, then > edit in Photoshop > change image size (multiply the 'x' number only by 1.33). Hit enter > File > save > edit in lightroom!
@@etchd_ thank you so much 👌😊
@@etchd_ Thanks man!
That's horrid music. Sorry.
Without the music, AWESOME 😁
Thanks Sheldon :)
I'm not impressed :(
