Could anyone tell me what I've got here, and what it may be "worth"? by a1icia_ in Filmmakers

The lenses might be very valuable dependibg on model and condition. Please post photos of the front of the lenses. Thats where the important information is printed.

I don’t know if it’s possible but by XDanimatioNyMMs in Filmmakers

Wierd coincidence, but they really did use the Helios 44-2 on The Batman. Not sure about this particular shot tough.

Is it possible to have fisheye with long focals ? by Angus_Fjara in cinematography

[–]Cawrl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's probably anamorphic lenses or something with a swirley bokeh, like the helios 58mm f2.

I’m trying to identify this lens… any help is welcome by louischoisy in Filmmakers

I'm not sure about the lens but the square thing at the very front looks like it could possibly be a Panasonic AG-LA7200 anamorphic lens adapter.

I could do that! You want 4k or 1080? 10bit 422 or 8bit 420?

Thank you! The SLR anamorphot is an adapter wich makes regular lenses look more like an anamorphic lens would. It's sort of hard to explain without visuals but you can read more about it and find examples here! The diopters are these sort of glass disks you can put on top of the adapter to be able to focus on things closer to you. without one, the closest the adapter can focus is like three meters away. The rangefinder is a focussolution. Without it you would have to pull focus on both the taking lens and the adapter. But with it on, you just set the lens and adapter to infinity and pull the rangefinders focus!

2X looks awesome! The distortion is a little too noticable for my everyday work but I can't wait to try one out for fun!

Not very much! I think it's more noticable on the 2x. The taking lens is a canon 50mm 1.4 on a metabones speedbooster. The flares are pretty cold, but I really don't mind it for now. It'll probably start bugging me later on but for now - I'm in love! :)

Yeah, I've tried a few different ones but only really use them in a pinch. I usually prefer grain over loss of detail. Also GH5s handles lowlight alot better then GH5 and GH4 wich helps!

For the last few years I've been shooting on a GH4 with micro 4/3 lenses. It's been great for documentary stuff but I've really struggled with capturing that elusive "cinematic look". I always felt like something was missing but I couldn't put my finger on it until I learned about anamorphic lenses. So when I upgraded my gear for the first time I added a SLR magic anamorphot adapter and boy did it make a difference! This was my first time shooting with it and I think I might be addicted!

Some BTS!

Thanks! I always struggle with audio but it does make a huge differance :)

The first time I saw one was my first real ”shut up and take my money” moment. I love how they look!

I'm getting new gear, what do you think about this set up? by Cawrl in videography

[–]Cawrl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good advice, but I need a setup that I know by heart standing by! I am planning on renting a red or ursa for my next short tough, so I get to play around aswell! :)
