Beautiful work, thank you Mathieu. These seem an absolute steal for the price, I'm waiting with bated breath for mine to arrive... The 65 in particular looks gorgeous. Its barrel distortion seems more pronounced than the 100 in particular. I might try adding some in post for the 100, but let's see. Hoping the short focus throw is useable, nailing focus on anamorphic T2 can't be a walk in the park ;-) Thanks again for these beautiful examples 👍

@KevinvanDiest 7 месяцев назад

@Bo_Hazem 7 месяцев назад

Silver flare is not available on their site. Using the Meike PL to E or EF to E with VND/ND/and many more filters gonna be amazing as well! Well priced but not a fan of the 1.5x factor for non-open gate sensors like Sony. It should be great for cameras with open-gate or if you wanna use that extra width for reframing in a cinema standard ratio.

@DethronerX 7 месяцев назад

They look really good to me. Is the 100mm stretching faces horizontally, or is that too desqueezed? I think these lenses have a better looking result than previous ones Ive seen that have less characteristics. I really like the black and metallic silver color on these. Hope they bring a 2x

@MathieuStern 7 месяцев назад

@TSGEnt 7 месяцев назад

The images with those lenses are very nice for sure. But I must say you must consider the photographer and the use of light. Your model also enhances these image, if I may say. I'm assuming you used the Sony a7 IV for this right? THe crispnes of the camera and the softness of these lenses are a very good combo. I agree with one of the commentators, the chrome. ab. is a bit much, but it only shows in strong light and out of focus, which I don't mind. The slight vignette and edge focus blur help focus the eye to center of the image. The triangle bokeh is interesting. The price point? Outstanding. A good special use lens.

@MathieuStern 7 месяцев назад

Shot on A7III, maybe I will get the FX3 for Xmas :)

@SyntheticFuture 7 месяцев назад

Is it me or do these lenses have a "higher than usual" amount of distortion at the edges. The 100mm was the least obvious but the other 2 really to me felt like everything but dead center was very distorted. The bokeh is not all that soft as well, but as a cinematic vibe it's really excellent. It may just be me but I felt like the Sirui did better when it comes to distortion.

@angryrabbitproductions1690 7 месяцев назад

IMO, the Sirui is too light on character… and once stopped down they might as well be spherical. The Blazar is much closer to what I want from an anamorphic… and the price!

@nirodaniroda1870 7 месяцев назад

The distortion is creating a hyper parallax effect. It is what is . Love or hate it.

@TheNateweaver 7 месяцев назад

This is typical for anamorphics not cropped to an aspect ratio you’re used to seeing. Crop off the sides to 2.39 and some of that distortion goes away. Use the extreme left and right edges of a Cooke anamorphic on full frame and you’ll see the same thing.

@nirodaniroda1870 7 месяцев назад

To me all look soft, compared to modern lenses. The CA on the 45mm seems to be quite heavy and the edges don't look good at all. I am also not fan of the strong horizotal lens flare line. So I'm not very excited about this. Maybe someone who wants a more vintage look will appreciate it.

Great review as always! But the lenses are really terrible... that loca and hideous bokeh defeat the purpose of using anamorphic lenses for aesthetics. It just makes the image look cheap, even more than 2x projection adapters, which at least match the old-school cinematic look, even when backfocused. Chromatic aberration is even worse than the vintage glass, can hardly believe it was made that way on purpose... more like poor optical design.

I don't really get the interest in anamorphic lenses. I know they are used in cinema and see that you get 16:9 / 16:10 ratio like images but for me it seems that they produce images that do not cover the entire size of your camera sensor (I guess i'm wrong on this point but i don't understand). So I wonder why not using a FF sensor and crop the image for a 16:9 / 16:10 ratio ? Obviously you lose quality by cropping but you don't seem to use all the sensor with these anamorphic lens so what does it change ?

@RandomMotoThings 6 месяцев назад

anamorphic lenses are way more than the aspect ratio. The stretch and distortion of the out of focus areas has a different look than spherical lenses.
