The Blazer Remus 1.5x Anamorphic lenses are some of the best budget anamorphic lenses on the market today! I haven't had extensive time testing these lenses but after only one shoot I can already tell that they will be in my kit for a while!

Have em, love em. This are literally 1/10th the price of the Mercury lenses, and offer similar build and image. It’s a no brainer. Enjoy!

@angryrabbitproductions1690 3 ай бұрын

You need to rent both and then come back here and post your findings. I’ll stand by my previous comment. And FYI: I had a set of Mercury Atlas lenses on preorder for over a year. I’ve personally met with the folks at Atlas. There’s nothing between the Mercury lenses and the Blazar lenses... And definitely nothing worth 10x the price.

Regarding the desqueezed, davinci has a 1.5x stretch option in “clip attributes” and a preset in the timeline settings

@AlbertScoot 2 күн бұрын

Agreed, I don't see the point to spending money on lenses to get a specific soft look when that automatically locks your raw video into that softness as a starting point.

what do you think about the new 35mm? i need something for like mid range (close up and upper body one person shots). which one should i get if i can only afford one of those 4 (3 of the set and the new 35mm)?

@AnthonyRodriguezz 28 күн бұрын

I would narrow it down to the 45 & 65mm Leaning more towards the 65

@Garretlike 28 күн бұрын

thanks, i wish there would be more vids to see how much the 65mm can be close up, but it seems the right choice, 100mm would probably be not as much of variable useable except a lot of close up

another question, would it make sense to buy the lense for my zv e-10 or would i need a new camera for it to be usable? im not moving too much for the short film planned.

Hmmm for me personally I’m keeping the Remus because I haven’t used anamorphics for client work and they’re cheaper. If money and size wasn’t a concern I’d definitely choose the 1.8x

Honestly, what I shared at the end. If it’s going to be used for client work I’d stick with the 1.8x. I’m actually selling a full set because I didn’t really need them for client work. Also, regarding the 3:2. I’ve never actually had that interfere when I shot, except with the 35mm

Great review, you can't get anamorphics with barrel distortion and characteristics for this cheap. However, you've put too much emphasis on how soft these lenses are wide open. I keep hearing the same from many others. I don't think anamorphic lenses are meant to be used wide open most scenarios. Of course it comes down to creative choices but also almost in most cases at wide open it is too shallow and there is not story , no drama on the background. I've heard and read Hollywood DPs have shot films at f6 and f8 on anamorphic lenses to allow depth on the background. Ordered my set two days ago and most definitely not shooting wide open with these.

When you use the phase "the images are usable" this makes you think that the footage that this lens deliver is noy good, Is just barely good to not thow it the garbage, and can use. This is not fine at all if the intention is talk good about this lenses.
