This is been the best demonstration of anamorphic SLR to GH5 that I have seen so far. Thanks for this and keep up the good work.
Thanks so much for posting this. I never knew about the de-squeezing in post- this is really helpful!
Thank you so much for this video, you explained everything so well and ensured the audience understood. Kudos!
Loved the video! You answered a lot of questions I had (especially post)
Thanks a lot. Very helpful. The Focus Issue is a killer argument for me to use it. Thanks for the review!
Lovely review. thanks so much!
Nicely done - Great info - Easy to listen to. ....Subscribed
Really nice and informative vid!
Such a unique look!
Love this review
@Norway ..
Excelente video! Saludos desde Argentina
SLR magic has a mattebox adapter that attaches to the lens so you can attach a clamp on to it.
Great video,
Thank you
Adorable doggies.
so nice! I like the lens so much .
Thank you! I was looking for a detailed video on these lenses. Are they only avalaible in the US and UK though?
Owesome!
Thank you for sharing. Just quick question, Why do you have to go through FCP to blow up the image, How about getting original footage directly into resolve and change the ratio? let resolve to figure out what it needs to be done during rendering process?
very nice
Good video. I bought all 3 back in July. Been using them for a while. Why didn't you get the 50 also? I suppose the 1.4x mode with the 35 brings it close?
Many thanks.
thank you and i wanna get the all set can you do more test videos
Hi and thanks for the video, do you know if the sony iv or iii have a "descuese " capacity?
can we use these ana lenses on full frame bodies such as blackmagic,Red or Arri?
As a guy looking to purchase these vs their 2x adaptor + rangefinder kit, thank you *so much* for this thorough walkthrough, handling and review - tough to find all of the above in one video.
I was thinking of getting this lens in the 35 or 50mm but I would seldom want the blue flares in my shots. I was curious if the flares change colors with this lens like during golden hours when the light is orange/yellow will the flares become orange/yellow?
Hi, will the adapter be compatible with Sony A6500 Mount E? And will I be able to fit lenses like sigma 30 1.4 for aps-c, sigma 16mm 1.4?
Are there any other adapter models that will also be compatible with my lenses?
Thank you Kelly your super awesome
Great video and product, how about if you can combine slr magic with metabones x64l adaptor on gh5 so any chance?
In final cut x got to inspector click anamorphic override set to widescreen done
Can you also provide the link to your rails used?
Great Video of these Lenses, thank you.
One question, with these being Anamorphic on the GH5 specifically, is the crop factor still doubled? So that 35mm would have been a 70mm and the 70mm would have been a 140mm?
Hey, I think it's a bit misleading to simply double it. These lenses are basically shooting the full 4:3 aspect ratio of the sensor instead of 16:9, so it collects all the vertical information of the sensor then stretches it so it's an extra wide shot. The lenses are 1.33 anamorphic lenses providing a native 2.35 aspect ratio. I'd have to compare then side by side to determine the actual crop (when comparing to still lenses).
You did a very good video film lotta people don’t know about it which is good we have been using this lens for about eight years now we found it from lost in Hong Kong he sold us The anamorphic lens and also the Carl Zeiss lens
whats the tread size which fits the taking lens ?
Great video!
New, in 2019, is the Vazen 40mm T2 anamorphic lens, only $3200.00!! It's even sharp at the edges! 28mm and 65mm coming soon in 2020!
Sounds amazing, I'll check those lenses out.
Can I use adapter instead of buying the lens?
couldn’t you get an 82mm screw in lens hood?
Thanks for your cool vid - I would probably get one if not for that focus ring and that hideous blue flare,..they probably realised the issue with coating too late :( ..it would've been better if they kept it natural as once it's baked in,.that's it :( .. Thanks again Nice Lady!
is the Focal length convergence from these lenses double? or are they true for m 4/3?
No, Because in Anamorphic mode, you are using the full 4:3 sensor so you are getting the 35mm or 70mm of height and half of that is the width for the stretch. So for the 70mm, it would be the 70mm height and 35mm width.
great video very helpful, thank you! i'm going to check out buddha box
Nice Lady, do you still feel the same about this lens?
I am thinking of buying on on sale.
good video, I was trying to figure out if a adapter to fit the lens into the camera its needed?
The SLR Magic anamorphic lenses come in MFT mount to match the GH5 camera, so no adaptor is needed.
Flex lens shade might be a solution. Though overall, considering the price, prolly better off with one of the Vazens. (I'm guessing those weren't out at the time)
Hey! You're right, they weren't out at the time. These were the first real cheap option for anamorphic lenses.
come si usa il follow focus con questa lente ?
Do you think the 35 and the 70 offer enough coverage for most common situations? I've got the 35 and pondering about pulling the trigger on the 70.
Well the entire video I shot only used two SLR lenses, so I'd say the 35/70 can cover most things.
On a side note, slrmagic admitted that they just used their adapter optics for the lens, just a different coating, that's why the focus ring is in the front. The coating is a bit better but still not worth the amount of money they ask for the rehoused optics. Also, please use a lens support for these, that poor mft mount of your camera is getting a lot of stress.
Really? An adapter that's close to 1000 dollars integrated into a cinema lens thats about 1500 dollars more for the whole professional package is considered outrageous? By far the cheapest anamophic cine lens ever made.
I personally prefer atlas lens co's lenses, way more usable for gimbals and rigs than this due to the focus closer to the sensor. I'm personally also working on a cine prime (50mm 1.4, 2x) btw, I have purchased a Hi-Fi 2 and a contax zeiss 50 1.4 for around €230 and the housing will cost me around 200 or something. It's going to be made out of magnesium. I may be using an element of a cinelux I just purchased, but that's not yet tested. That would bump up the price with €140. Also, 20 aperture blades! Got a cheap aperture from an old enlarger lens (industar 51). I'm not planning on selling these but I may hire them out, I'll see. I rambling so I'll stop hahaha
I would definitely be open to the atlas lens's but Im not totally sure they are widely available. And those aren't anamorphic are they?
yes they will be very available, now in preorder btw, they are anamorphic, with way better image quality than these, a bit more expensive but they cover super 35mm (!). These lenses (slrmagic) are not geared towards pro users (excuse me for the pun). These are more for the professional hobbyists that want anamorphic primes for their dslr (mft sensor) and can't afford the big guns. If you want to shoot a cinema camera (most of the time super 35mm) with these they are 'worthless' due to the large vignette. If you want a cheap setup like this try to find an anamorphic lens like a b&h, cinelux, 16d, ... and use it with a rectilux hardcore dna with a good prime, contax zeiss for example. You'll get way better results with the same kind of setup that is cheaper than/as 'cheap as the slrmagics.
In no way, shape or form are these expensive for a singular integrated anamorphic solution. I challenge you to go out and do better. There's *nothing* close in price. Even a good quality anamorphic adapter is $1000-$1200. Add a single focus solution for another $1000. Add a taking lens $200. Add an adapter $30. There you go. Now get all the stuff working together. (I know. I have the hodge podge solution. :) )
These things are a steal.
I have the anamorphic lens also I have the Carl Zeiss lens for a low light
Hi, i am a little confuse. So a 70 mm normal lense in a full frame camera looks like a 70 mm anamorphic lens 2x in a mft camera? And what about anamorphic lenses that doesn't have 2x like this www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1178253-REG thanks
A MFT camera like the Panasonic GH5 has a native 2x crop because the sensor is so small. Lenses are referenced in comparison to a full frame sensor for people who started shooting on DSLRs. The link you share is a 50mm lens with a 100mm equivalent on a MFT camera with a 2x crop (50 x 2 = 100). Search "focal lengths" on CZcams and find a video showing what each focal length looks like. A 50mm lens on a MFT camera will look like the 100mm equivalent, so it becomes a telephoto lens. If you want the look of the focal length of a 50mm on a MFT camera you have to get a 25mm.
Cant seem to figure out what exactly i need to buy. Does the Anamorphot require a Lense Clamp or does it simply fit to say a Sony FE 50mm F.1.8 ?
These slr magic lenses are ready to use, I have the one for micro four thirds. You just put it on like any other lens.

Is 35mm the shortest? I barely shoot anything over 30mm with the crop of the gh5. Tho anamorphic interests me...I
yes, SLR Magic only makes 35, 50 and 75mm Anamorphot lenses.
Hello what is the crop factor when using a m43 sensor with these lens?
Thanks
Charles Cowper it’s Times 2 vertically but normal horizontally. So it’s still times 2 for MFT, but the 35mm is like a 17.5 horizontally and a 35mm vertically and both those values are doubled for the full frame equivalent.
I wouldn't say cropping in post is fake, well maybe it is fake anamorphic but not fake cinemascope. Take cinemascope super35, it's image is technically a crop in the larger 4:3 film frame. I think the main reasons why to shoot with anamorphic is twofold, one to use more of the image frame and two to fit more image into that frame i.e. making the lens wider laterally.
SUPERRRRRRR IS POSIBLE ADAPTER CETTE FOCAL 35 MM ANAMORPH OF SONY A 7S 2????????
Isn‘t the Anamorphot to heavy for the lens mount on the GH5 without a lens support on the rails?
To be honest, I never thought about it because the lens is solid and the camera didn't feel like it was flexing or anything at the mounting point. I suppose it would be a good idea!
I will marry an anamorphic lens once the law allows it!
You can use a mattebox but needs modification. I am working in making one workable system
thats also a lot of distortion for a 70mm lens. I have 35mm lenses with less fisheye distortion than that.
Are you on the West Coast? The ocean looks like it.
Hey! Yes I'm based in Canada on the West Coast. Thanks for watching.
Yes, I bought the SLR Magic 2X 50mm a month or more ago. I am not sure that I did not throw away money on this.
I am not too Plussed on this so far. I use a Sony A7Rii.
@@jimmoss9584 Is there something in particular you don't like about it?
They really flipped their wig on the pricing for these. That weird, unprofessional and really inconvenient focus ring on the front of the lens... That's just horrible.
What else is like this in this price range?
@@ZacharyWillFilms Vazen. But honestly using an FVD with projector lenses would be preferable to this focus setup IMO considering it would be less expensive. And I myself have LOMO anamorphics!
Use GMonitor app for android
I love this video but the way that lens is hanging on that mount is starting to hurt
Everyone was concerned about the weight on the lens mount, no problems.
For this lens an alternative lens shade, light and practical:

The fact that they're mft is a big turn off for me. I want versatile lenses so that I can use them with other cameras in the future. They are waaay out of my price range either way though hah. NIce video : -)
That looks like Victoria to me! Hello neighbour!
It is. Hi!
Hey, NPR lady, will you say Schweaty Balls just once in your next video? lol
bahahahaha
You are worth following. Thank you for all of this info. I wanted to shoot my first feature film “Loving Till It Hurts” on a anamorphic lens, unfortunately I didn't have the budget but I still got a good project out of 16x9. So far I've gotten 3 awards for this project. The film was shot on a GH4, Panasonic 50mm, 14mm and my favorite heavy lens Voigtlander 35mm. Feel free to ask me any questions about the making of it. Can’t wait to shoot my next project with an Anamorphic Lens. Please show me some love and support and check out my film “Loving Till It Hurts” on Amazon prime or watch it for FREE here on TubiTV: tubitv.com/series/4311/loving_till_it_hurts?tracked=1
Over priced imo. The distortion is horrible the focus ring position is daft
Aparently they are trying to force you to get all lens flarey.
Too much of a sacrifice for the extra width....Beautiful videos i love your stuff but the chromatic aberration and fringe is unbearable. its like driving a cardboard Ferrari...
LOL. Thanks for the comment.
I don’t appreciate anamorphic lens flares
Ok
Ok thanks mom.. I mean ma'am
I don't understand this. Why do you admire that lens ? Look at the distortion, look at the trees behind that doggy. 6:40 "unique perspective" - can I have just the regular perspective please, without distrotion for almost $3000.
I rather crop than use full sensor via anamorphic with unnatural bokeh, extreme flare, breathing, and lots of CA. I like the history of anamorphic, but I don't prefer its look. Seen these SLRMagic lenses on another video and they had lots of CA -- too ugly to look at.
If you want technical performance you shouldn't use any anamorphics. Just not the point. I think all the above footage and everything I've shot with them looks great, especially stopped down. I used them wide open too and had no issues with the image except maybe a touch more softness that I'd like.
Yeah that really is a poorly designed lens, unfortunately.
Wouldn't even consider dropping a single thousand on these lenses they're are total trash. Even for free.... Rather rent some good ones
Hey Nice Lady. You should not use these SLR Magic Anamorphic lenses. Their image quality is very amateur and unprofessional and it makes a bad impression about your work. They have a much lower image quality than using a high quality Taking Lens + Anamorphot adapter. And they have a blurry rangefinder attached, which you cannot do anything to resolve.
Bad to bad way to talk
SLR Magic - SHIT :)
Annoying voice.. Sorry
Thank you! I was looking for a detailed video on these lenses. Are they only avalaible in the US and UK though?
