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).

Sounds amazing, I'll check those lenses out.

The SLR Magic anamorphic lenses come in MFT mount to match the GH5 camera, so no adaptor is needed.

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.

Well the entire video I shot only used two SLR lenses, so I'd say the 35/70 can cover most things.

Hey! You're right, they weren't out at the time. These were the first real cheap option for anamorphic lenses.

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.

yes, SLR Magic only makes 35, 50 and 75mm Anamorphot lenses.

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.

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.

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 KZfaq 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.

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!

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?

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!

Everyone was concerned about the weight on the lens mount, no problems.

Aparently they are trying to force you to get all lens flarey.

It is. Hi!

bahahahaha

Ok

LOL. Thanks for the comment.

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.
