This is how we've been using the aivascopes the most. Its great since the barrel of the lens and the scope almost just look like one single lens. and they look amazing.
That rear 52mm on the aviascope attached to the 77mm Vespid front thread didn’t cause any vignetting? Been seeing people mounting this to large lenses and confused as to how the tiny rear element of the adapter is covering these much larger front elements of the taking lens.
@@holdmedear Regardless which one they are using, there is something wrong with their lens. The uneven bokeh on the 90mm is not a normal trait of this lens. I imagine some type of fungus or other imperfection.
I believe they are using the sumilux versions of the 35 and 50. It looks as if they initially have the lenses stopped down to F2, which allows the 6 aperture blade to appear in the bokeh. If you are using a summicron 35 or 50 opened to F2, then the aperture blades will be tucked away and the bokeh will be perfectly spherical.
@@NorthwestCameraCo Thanks for the quick reply. I tested the Contax Zeiss 85mm @1.4 f.stop on my "moment 1.33x Anamorphic Adapter" and it looked soft. I had to close down to 2.8 to get something more acceptable. So yes pls do a test when you can, i'll like to know if you get a sharper image on the Aivascope 1.5x shooting at 1.4.
As a zeiss contax user on currently zcam e2 f6 body i am tempted. Does it handle well between aperture changes and everything or do you always have to align at every change?
Hi, no Zeiss Contax but have used my Aiva 1.5x with an F6, and can’t think of why changing aperture on the taking lens would affect alignment, but since the newer aivascopes come with a convenient solid rail mount that positions the center of the aivascope at standard optical-center height above the 15mm rails (just make sure you’re using a cage & rod mount built specifically for your camera for correct positioning), even switching out taking lenses is fast/easy. Just slide the Aiva away, replace the taking lens (focus locked to infinity), then slide Aiva back into position and you’re ready to go! Cheers
