Are you interested in an #anamorphic lens for full frame, that doesn't break the bank, with character and it is actually gorgeous? The Blazar Remus could be for you.
Now, I'm no cinematographer or filmmaker, so this is a hobbyist review, but since hobbies are to have fun and this lens is a lot of fun. It makes sense!!

I like the French version of this lens more, as it seems to convey a little bit more mystery! I own the Sirui 50mm F1.8 with a 1.33 stretch and am now looking to graduate to either a full frame lens like the Viltrox or the rather expensive Laowas. The trouble is when you look at a series like 'three body problem' and look at the quality of the lenses, I want to get as close to that without spending the same amount of money. I hope you enjoy your lens. If I were to go for a blazar, the 60 mm is probably the one for me. Thanks for taking the time to make this review.

Cheers! I can't compare it to those others, and the Blazar "character" won't be for everyone, but the price-value is compelling for sure 👍🏼😌

@yoshiYoishIRL 28 дней назад

Laowa isn't really good imo. For me I prefer Barrel Distortion. The LAOWA is a pincushion distortion, and the distortion is not very significant compared to Blazar, for the price is insane. Blazar anamorphic flares has much much more character compared to LAOWA. LAOWA is also too sharp, but it's a matter of preference. I really like having soft image, it gives that vintage look.

@@yoshiYoishIRL another vote for the Blazar then? :D

@nicklaytonUK 27 дней назад

@@yoshiYoishIRL the more I see of the 45mm, the less I like.. Distortion is quite pronounced. Only the price is appealing

@Sethmotley Месяц назад

Nice video but I do disagree on who these lens are for because several cinematographers have used these lenses on paying projects but they are more affordable for a hobbyist but professional get more use from them without breaking the bank.

@RogerinFinland Месяц назад

That's fair enough 👍🏼😊

@BasherKhalifehBK 3 месяца назад

Amazing review and footage, have you tried it on “vertical anamorphic” ? If no could you make a video about it as its so handy for both horizontal and vertical videos

@SEKILEFPV 2 месяца назад

great video. i want to buy also this lens and mount it to bmpcc 4k and bmpcc og, so i need some PL mount

@TitoFernandes 3 дня назад

Great video. Is that adaptor the 0.7 focal reducer version? As that one is limited to how much PL mount protrusion is allowed inside the lock. Curious as I’m keen on using the Remus with a focal reducer on the BMPCC OG to gain some extra focal length

@RogerinFinland 3 дня назад

Hi! Nah, that adapter is the dumb one, as in, no glass whatsoever. The 45mm gets veery long on the BMMCC.

@flamonaut 3 месяца назад

Nice video Roger. You described exactly my situation. Im a hobbiest too who likes to film his family with an a7iv. I ve good gm lenses but anamorphic gets my intrest more n more. How do you deal with nd filters? Has metabone slide ins? Do you have plans for af capabilities? With pd movie lidar? Greetz

@RogerinFinland 3 месяца назад

Hi there! For ND filters I just use screw-on variable ND from freewell. Happily I had a 77mm filter already so that was easy. About AF, too much hassle and equipment with lidar, so I just focus manually. I also briefly had a remote motorized follow focus from small rig and sold that also. Full manual with my hands it is 😌

@AndreasSippus 2 месяца назад

Have you continued using this? How does it feel now after some time?

@RogerinFinland 2 месяца назад

Well, I'm definitely not selling it! 😌 I haven't had much time to play around with it, but I'm keeping it and eyeing the 65mm. Also, for me the 1.5x will be more useful than the new 2x (Cato I think they're called), so no purchase regrets 👍🏼👍🏼

@AndreasSippus 2 месяца назад

@@RogerinFinland Sounds good! Came to the same conclusion after seeing Cam Mackeys review on the Cato. Currently have the Sirui 24, 35 and 50mm but they are for crop frame. Think I’ll in the future just stick to only the 45mm on 1.5x and that’s it. For me additional focal lengths just causes additional headache 😀 I’ll just have to order the Remus myself.

@AndreasSippus 3 месяца назад

Hey there fellow Finnish creator! Where in Finland are you located? I’d be interested in trying out or renting this lens if possible 😀

@dollhausenx 2 месяца назад

Does the Sony support 1.5 or are you just doing it in post?

@RogerinFinland 2 месяца назад

Just in post. No support for anamorphic on my A7iv or ZV-E1.

@ThatGuyOverThereWeird 3 месяца назад

the side squeeze distortion is horrible. How can you use this lens with moving shots? It will get messy.

@RogerinFinland 3 месяца назад

I either wouldn't move or wouldn't care much. Some would call it character, some quirkiness. Either way is a matter of taste, and if one doesn't like it that's fair enough and other options are available. In general, if you want a clean uniform edge to edge performance on a lens, anamorphic won't be the way to go. For that I'd go towards spherical cine lenses, like Irix on the budget side.
