      Thank you, Brandon, you answered all of my questions enough along with the video to justify my waiting for the full frame version to go on sale, unless of course, they were practically giving the APSC versions away. The flare may be fine for an establishing shot, but it is bothersome for anything else. Thank you for the video and the explanation. I always enjoy your work.

    So glad you just showed footage. Really tired of everyone just regurgitating the bullet points. We know the bullet points already, that’s why we came here. We just wanna see it put to use! Lol You def did this lens justice. Now it’s just this & the Aivascope on my radar!

    I got the Sirui 35mm for my next short film that I'll post on my channel.
    It'll be with the BMPCC4K instead, but I'm too excited for the results! Sirui feels like Hollywood on a budget.

    You worked this lens hard. Best of the videos I’ve seen yet. I preordered this lens to compare against my Vazen 50mm T2.1with 1.8 squeeze factor. I have to admit to being a bit disappointed with most of the footage I have seen up until now. Good work!
    Keep it up brother!

  • @bananasandbass
    @bananasandbass 3 года назад +3

    Thank you for posting. Yeah I agree on the flares and their color. The original lenses had too much blue. This one is less annoying with a more subtle green color. But still way too prominent. And I wish the flares were white or yellow/warm-ish. Because if you’re not filming something with some neo/tech/sci-fi vibes, but rather something more traditional and narrative or even commercial, then you can’t have blue or green flares in your shots.
    The rest of it looks really nice, love the kinds of videos you’re making lately, really stepping up that already amazing game!

    From all the footage I've seen from this lens, they've all been on the warmer side, sometimes with a tinge of green cast in the image, and some of the flares are green. I personally think green flares are unnatural and brings a bit of uneasiness to it. Blue and Amber flares seem the most natural to me.

    • @BrandonLiUnscripted

    Gorgeous shots. Why arent the bokeh balls as oval as other 1,6x times squeezed anamorphs? Is it only because it doesn't open up more than f2,8?

    • @BrandonLiUnscripted
      @BrandonLiUnscripted  3 года назад +5

      It’s a wider lens, and only f2.8. So you won’t see extreme bokeh unless you’re near minimum focus.

    Did you crop the image? If you Film with a 16:9 sensor the image should be more narrow which looks even more cinematic in my opinion. By the way this lense works perfectly with Zhiyun weebill 2 and the Focus Motor. Review and cinematic footage from Switzerland will follow 😁

    I think it's quite good that this lens finally isn't what alle the makeshift anamorphics are: Barely usable. But still a tad to crisp for my liking. Would you have some sort of diffusion-filtration around, doesn't matter if it is Tiffen/Schneider/PrismLensFX - just to show what it looks like with a little detuning?

    Brandon, you are a great shooter, no doubt. In terms of the lens, positives: a workable focal length, good price. Weakness: seems soft, color shift to green, flares are not my cup of tea. I will probably pick one up though, considering the cost and my soft spot for anamorphic.

    • @Rashadmcka
      @Rashadmcka 3 года назад +1

    Hi, Brandon! I like your work quite a lot. Thanks for putting it out there. I was wondering how you went about de-squeezing the image on this one. A 1.6X anamorphic lens on a 16x9 sensor camera should result in a 2.8:1 aspect ratio. Did you crop it or did you resize it to fit a 2.39:1 frame? I did some tests on my setup, which is the same as yours here, and I sort of like the slightly squeezed frame. Curious about your solution. Oh, and one last thing: did you use any diffusion on this? Thanks again!
