I see the focus breathing as more of a slight zoom in and doesn’t bother me at all, as you showed with DaVinci there are fixes for some things as well and I want these lenses even more now. Those that complain are just looking for anything to bitch about it seems. If they just want the clinical clean look and don’t like the character in these lenses then why are they watching an anamorphic lens review to begin with? Thank you for the video!

Finally got round to shimming my Remus set, and boy has it made a nice difference. I thought they were great already, but now, wow. I did find it hard to do though. I've shimmed plenty of lenses before, but to do these I found I had to switch to 6:5 and turn on in camera sharpening to max, otherwise all I could see on 4x monitor magnification was blurred lines ;-) With the 100mm I did have to stop it down to T4 to be able to see the chart's lines clearly enough at 3.5m, but now its images are fantastic. Well worth spending some time doing this.

Thanks for taking your time to break down all the myths and chatter and show us real life usage examples of these lenses as well as some of your post processing tweaks. I was surprised to see the 100mm on the projector at T4. I think that lens has a lot of potential. For my usage, I'm still undecided between getting this set vs 2 Proteus lenses. My main concern is the funky edge on the 45mm but seeing how they clean up with a little bit of lens correction, kinda make me lean towards the Remus again. If only talking about the look. incl. flares, I think the Mecury's are better, but those are beyond my budget and out of all other available options the Remus removes the barrier to big budget looks like no other lens and I really love that!

Man you're truly setting a new standard with these videos. Love the way you mix the review part with some truth bombs here and there. From what I've seen, general consensus seems to be that the 65mm is the sweetspot. Do you think it would be versatile enough to be used alone as an EDC or would you rather go for the 45mm and use clear image zoom to get some added reach here and there? Thinking of the Creator being mostly shot on a 75mm Kowa anamorphic.

I seem to like the 1.5x stretch of the Remus vs the new Cato at 2.0x. Also with 16:9 UHD you would need to cut some of that extra "wideness" for standard cine aspect ratio. Also being able to slide in ND's and other filters in the back with the adapters is a killer feature as they're not as deep as other PL lenses. Thanks a lot for the amazing review and tips!

I was literally looking into the mercury lenses from atlas a few weeks ago and then I noticed these lenses at an even lower cost. Kind of incredible time to be a filmmaker because these could pass as C series if you shot them right. A tip on the lens distortion bit from a VFX guy, you can shoot lens grids to accurately replicate and correct distortion to pinpoint accuracy. Just day before the shoot print one out on a big sheet of paper, but it in front of each lens and record a few seconds. In the Fusion tab of Davinci you get much finer control over the type of distortion including anamorphic squeeze options.

Thank you for such an in depth video cutting through all the things that don't really matter and concentrating on the things that do. For me they will be an entry point into shooting anamorphic. I shoot mostly on Blackmagic Ursa 12k and 6k Pro but also on an FX 3. Assuming it would be best to get these in EF mount? and then can also use them on my FX3 with an adapter. Anything that I need to keep in mind in terms of using them with an adapter? Shimming the lenses would be new to me but I'm assuming that's specific to each lens and not in using those lens with an mount adapter.

Yes all cinema lenses you buy should be checked for shinming. And I personally recommend to get PL cause you can use PL on literally everything and the adapter are made way more sturdy

One of the most compelling things about these lenses is that they fit full frame and look good. My go to for full frame anamorphic is the Orion with the atlas full frame expander. I’m in no way comparing these to an Orion, totally different beasts (although a surprising amount of similarities too). BUT When we want to shoot gritty anamorphic even if the client doesn’t require the Orion that’s still typically what I go with because it’s just the option that checks all the boxes we need. But for lower end clients, the Remus checks those boxes as well and we can buy a full set for the same price as a 4-5 day rental on a SINGLE Orion. Crazy times we live in!!!

I would buy a anamorphic lens for the characteristics and extra horizontal FOV, and since I use s35 sensor (xh2s) I would belive buying a FF lens like this is not the best options as would loose a lot of the image characteristics near the edges because of the 1.5x crop, like its often softer or fuzzier and stuff near the edge, or Im I wrong? should you use s35 anamorphic lens to get all the "quirks" in the image circle of a s35 sensor compared to a FF lens?
@toneohm 4 ай бұрын
right,, it should be overall sharper bc you're using more of the center of the lens with the S35 crop.., BUT.., if you decide to go FF at some point.., you'll already have a lens that can accommodate.., BUT..., if you're sure you're going to stay S35..., a dedicated S35 sized anamorphic lens would be of use to you.. it will be cheaper, likely smaller and less weight.. and meant specifically for your sensor size.. by nature, I like S35.., its what I grew up using.. its what cinema was built around, often leads to smaller lenses.., the main reason I like low light is for the dynamic range.. that's the main thing.. and achieving a wider field of view more easily.. the more shallow DOF.., I don't really care for.. S35 is plenty for that aspect.. So yeah, it all depends on which anamorphic lens in.. you could get a Laowa Nanomorph.. OR.. you could get a Vazen MFT.. (which is manage to do S35 in most cases) and that way.., you're using all of the Vazen's lens, so you'll definitely get the focus fall off that you're talking about.., whereas the Nanomorph.., even though its smaller, lighter, and cheaper than a Vazen.., its a much sharper lens all-round so its going to have a little more of the old anamorphic character and a lil more of the modern sharpness.. not to mention the stretch isn't as extreme as a Vazen.. and its convex.. not concave like most traditional anamorphics.. I do prefer barrel over pincushion.., but, its not the end of the world either.. Cooke's have pincushion and they're essentially the best cine lens optics ever imo.. along with Zeiss and Panavision

I agree a lot with the other comment. But I will say the nanomorphs don’t really have any character, Laowa went more for a clean look. Which is great if you like that! Vazen actually were making great lenses. Their 27mm was my fav S35 lens to this day. But if you’re planning on shooting s35 open gate on your Fuji, a 1.8 or 2X lens will suit you much better. Cause 1.5X on open gate is just basic 16x9

The price are reasonable. How do you know which flare Amber/gold or Blue to utilize throughout your film projects?

I am on a RED GEMINI - 4 per s35 not TINY s35 like Komodo - big Bob Richardson fan so I was thinking 45mm as I am also a tad broke would you go with 45 or 65 on Gemini?
@cammackey 4 ай бұрын
The 45mm for sure. Also I don’t think people realize that most of these S35 cameras aren’t actually s35 but smaller haha

I’m curious how your opinion on the vazens has changed with these and the laowa nanomorphs now available. They still have that great character with 1.8x, but I’m really love the character of these and they are much lighter at those longer focal lengths
@cammackey 4 ай бұрын
The nanomorphs are only 1.5X and wayyyyy cleaner than these. Just depends on personal preference. Personally I like a more vintage look, so the Remus are great for me. The Vazens are great too… but way more expensive
@nathansmartmusic 4 ай бұрын
@@cammackey Agreed on these vs nanomorphs. I was close to purchasing the nanos but seeing the Blazar I love the character a lot more. I currently own a Vazen 28 and really like the character, was looking to get a full set but now considering selling and grabbing a set of these instead - thoughts? Yet to see any comparisons between vazen and blazar

Did you shim your lens with the .01 for center sharpness?
@cammackey 4 ай бұрын
Yes. The minimum shim they have is 0.02. But every lens will be different.
@barclaymovingpictures3041 3 ай бұрын
Do you have any data on what shims to use for each lens in PL? Or is it a per-specific lens thing because of large tolerances in machining?
@cammackey 3 ай бұрын
It’s different from lens to lens. No two lenses are the same

Would be cool to test these with the Laowa 1.33x rear anamorphic adapter to make them 2x on S35
@cammackey 4 ай бұрын
It would create a 1.995X stretch but you wouldn’t get any more 2x anamorphic out of it cause rear anamorphic doesn’t have any of those traits

I’ve been hoping someone will compare & contrast the Remus to the Atlas Mercury .. even if it’s just a description of personal experience / not technical. Is the cost of the Atlas justified if you’re an anamorphic enthusiast?
@cammackey 4 ай бұрын
If I’m shooting a project with a decent budget, I’d rent the Mercurys for it. If there’s no budget, I would happily use the Remus.

@twelvetwelve1001 4 ай бұрын
Yup, yup, and yup. Well said Cam. A lot of people that are new to anamorphics that were otherwise priced out, are looking at and evaluating these lenses like they're spherical. IMO, these are the very first set of affordable anamorphic lenses worth taking seriously. All the Laowa/Sirui/Viltrox lenses try to be as optically correct as spherical lenses, and lose the plot.

I was going to DM you but maybe you’ll see this comment. I’m like 99 percent sure I’m going to get the Sirui Saturn 1.6 anamorphic just because they are even smaller. Not perfect like these but I think I would value their compact size as I’m just starting out with anamorphic and they mount directly to my Sony. Any huge cons that would make you stay away from the Sirui vs just getting the Blazar Remus?
@cammackey 3 ай бұрын
Man. So much I could say. Cant really say it all here haha. My opinion is.. the Remus are the first budget anamorphics that actually look anamorphic. If you want the real anamorphic look at the same price.. the Remus are it right now.

@@cammackey cool thanks. I think I’ve decided after research to get these instead. If you were to start with just 2 which ones would you get? I’d either do the 45mm & 100mm or the 45mm &65mm
