    @PotatoJet reviewed Sirui's lenses and some of his points could be clearer. So I made a response addressing variable squeeze ratio, streak filters, professional use, and other subjects.

    Thanks for the video and the hard work you and your team put in. I've been a follower for ages and did my first lens mod after watching you do it, been quite a journey there.
    Love that attitude of appreciating things for what they are and whether they are suitable for the project, instead of judging by the labels that have been slapped on top of them. It's a huge topic, but honestly these days it feels like marketing and consumerism distract people from understanding why they use certain tools, and many people buy things without understanding why or understanding if there's a need for it.

    It's not so much that potato jet was incorrect on alot of points, it's that he always talks like he is absolutely correct on everything he says. For me, PJ has a slight troll quality in his reviews. The way he man handles expensive gear is highly irritating. The most amazing camera can come out and PJ will most likely throw up a video saying why he will never buy it. It was so satisfying to see a calm, educated clap back video. SUBBED!

      I own all 3 Sirui lenses. I have watch most of the review videos on all three. I cannot think of one review video that brings up the de-squeeze issue that Potato Jet raises. It is a valid point and one that will affect my use of the lenses going forward. We may not like Potato Jet conclusions but his technical observations were spot on. That is where this channel comes in because it helps us drill down on the issue and put things in perspective. We have to first understand the issue and then learn how to work with it. I am sure we will do that moving forward. I think we owe both these channels a debt of gratitude for their contributions on this topic.

  • @reddjinn911
    @reddjinn911 Před rokem +4

    my 2 cents: potato jet is a legit content creator, really funny dude, and has become super knowledgeable on general industry tech. his following completely warrants this kind of response so good on you for defending the lenses.
    THAT SAID, any real story teller with a true affinity for cinematic story telling would never complain about any of what potato jet had a problem with. youtubers in general tend to over analyze out of a need to make extensive content. and while their opinions absolutely matter, they should NEVER solely guide a true filmmakers decision. I.e. dismissing the adapters over extra time in post... when working on a budget you will always have to work extra in post on one thing or another. its a trade off so if you like the look of those anamorphic adapters, maybe the 5 seconds per clip in post is worth it.
    We live in such an amazing time for story tellers right now where we can buy everything we need to make a career defining feature film for under 10k but you'd never guess it if you only paid attention to youtubers who's entire jobs are to push the limits of tech designed to compete with equipment 10x more expensive. (bmpcc vs alexa videos crack me up)
    sorry this was so long winded but for me, the creators of affordable groundbreaking tech do far more for the creative space than any one person's opinion of their products. creators like Potato Jet are fantastic but let's not give them more power than they deserve.

Or are they just different with field of view, due to the difference between the sensor size between 4/3rds and APS_C? I do like the anamorphic look, and trying to decide between the two systems of either micro four thirds, or an APS-C type camera.

    I had no idea about anamorphics. I was looking for a lens and saw an ad of a vintage "anamorphic lens". I was like "what the heck is an anamorphic?" This was about a year ago. Then I watched your video about anamorphic lenses. I decided to get one. Sirui had a 50mm out at that time. I wanted to get it but wasnt sure about the focal length. Then came out the 35mm. Still I couldn't convince myself to get one. But the anamorhic look, the blue horizontal lines were like sirens. Now I have the 24mm and it seems like I don't have enough. Thanks .

      But, although the 50mm 1.8 is quite “cheap”, I feel that the 24mm could be more useful.
      BUT, seems to not have so much oval bokeh (duuuh, the wider the smaller bokeh balls…).

    Hi Tito & Potato Jet,
    just a quick update: in the meanwhile I purchased the lens, experimenting with it on my Lumix S1H since a few weeks.
    This lens exceeded my expectations by far: built like a tank, perfect smoothness of both focus and apperture, razor sharp from edge to edge, nice flares when light hits the lens directly from the front, on the other side quite robust against unwanted flaring (I did not expect this!).
    Yes, there is some little squeeze-breathing when focusing - but not too wild and a result of the selected construction and not Sirui's fault.
    Only challenge I still have with this lens is finding the perfect focus w/o using the internal EVF of my S1H, i.e. in run & gun mode. So, I am practicing and practicing and getting better every day.
    Another thing I was totally unaware of is that when using the 5.4 K mode on my S1H, this lens with its 1.6 squeeze factor turns my S1H into an 8,64 K monster!
    Yes, the additional resolution gets created by the NLE (in my case Davinci Resolve Studio) when interpolating additional pixels during horizontal desqueeze - but it all looks so great and immersive.
    When I recently used my spherical lens and reviewed the footage on my screen I felt like watching an 'amputated' piece of video.
    Guess what, this is my 'always on lens' for the time being.
    Thanks to Tito for bringing 'The Anamorphic' to so many of us!

      They're pretty similar. Sirui is sharper on critical focus, so it'll make it easier to tell what's focused and what's not. There's no 32mm Vazen though, so I have no idea of what you're talking about.
      As for longer focal lengths, that applies to adapter setups only, as most focusing solutions are tailored to 50mm taking lenses. When talking about an anamorphic LENS, you're unlikely to face those issues.

    I have seen that squeeze factor change effect in classic cinemascope film during a shot with extreme focus pull. At the time I attributed it to the cinemascope lens, but wasn't sure exactly what I was seeing. There was one notable example, but it was long ago and I can't recall what film it was.

    Wow. Awesome video. So much good information. I'm about to buy this 35mm for a film I'm about to shoot on the Panasonic S5. It's available for L mount now. (At least according to Amazon and B&H. Hope that's true) Excited to shoot with it, and grateful I found your channel. About to devour some more of your videos. Thanks for sharing all this valuable infornation. Much appreciated.

    Nice video,I have VD-01 anamorphic lens and how do you desqueeze the image. I'm having Samsung Android phone and kindly suggest the app to get the right footage. Is there any third party app?

      You can desqueeze it out of the camera using filmic pro and mcpro24fps. I highly recommend mcpro24fps purely due to the features for the lut settings available to you

    very competent and comprehensive argumentation against a rather emotional and not so profound "criticism"; the other guy not even knows about differing squeeze factors in relation to focussing... a simple beginners knowledge.. the same with the criticism about IBIS etc. thank you very much for your efforts to make that clear

    Tito, could you expand more on the IBIS stuff?
    I would love to use these anamorphics on mid-level car videos. The cars are usually ferrari or lamborghini street cars and clients prefer to have a polished look, so IBIS would really help me out.
    I have an A7SIII.
    what do I set it to? it’s focal lengths or 1.33 lower?

    Gh5 can work anamorphic mode in differemnt codecs ,right ;
    So other models of panasonic ;
    So we have 'light chase' around scenes..and a lot of reframing during directions accord to the plan of each project..and 'restrictions' -kind of not so close or too far of the main subject so it cannot disform it- of budget anamorphic lenses we can have or borrow for the shooting..
    What is the simplest solution that has more work in post;
    Is the Panasonic mirrorless a solution close to the result of budget anamorphic lenses or each choice gives a different perpective and aesthetic;
    Nice job and greetings from Greece..

    Great video Tito! I've always maintained that Potato Jet rushes his videos, which is understandable because he needs to get a lot of videos out weekly, but that results to some of his videos just being very poor representations of the product he is showcasing. Case and point, his Red Komodo "review". Thanks for the video!

    It really bothers me when people talk about ‘faking the anamorphic look’ and are connoting to the flares. The ‘anamorphic look’ is the field of view you get from a cylindrical lens versus a spherical lens. That’s the look, the flares are simply a byproduct.

    Another amazing video, hope you dont mind this random comment but why have you never tried out the SLR magic 2x anamorphic lenses. Especially the ones for Micro Four Thirds are pretty interesting and easy to use. Not quite as budget as these Sirui lenses but if you rent them they're only a couple hundred bucks. Shot a few shorts and a feature on them! Any thoughts?

    One correction when you state Panasonic is the only manufacture with stabilization for anamorphic. - the canon c70 does this too - there is actually a menu option for anamorphic image stabilization although it is electronic stabilization and not true IBIS

    I'm about to purchase 24mm f2.8 and I was wondering about the desqueeze issue
    So if I have one shot and I come closer to the object and pull the focus slowly will the squeeze change ratio as I come closer?
    So in post it will be very hard to fix right? Because if the ratio is 1.33 at some point of the shot and it slowly changes to 1.25 as I come closer - I would have to cut it in half to avoid distortion?
