Affordable Anamorphic Zoom - Laowa Nanomorph 28-55mm 50-100mm Silver Review

[@FreshSqueezedLightning]

3:30 I'm a 1st AC and have worked with most of the big gun anamorphics, and it's worth noting for those who don't know, even the big league anamorphics breathe a lot, that's just a characteristic of anamorphics as a whole. I just finished ACing a feature film shooting with the Alexa 35 and Cooke 2x SF Anamorphics (which are $30K USD each) and even those breathe a lot, so breathing is not a dealbreaker with anamorphics. Nice review!

It looks like mustache distortion actually 🤔 I hope we see more zoom anamorphics being made in general though, nice innovation

[@team2films]

Yeah, it's moustache distortion! Barrel + Pincushion. Although I have to stress, these lenses feel more flat than distorted. Really clean. Thanks so much for watching.

@@team2films My bad I just got to the part where you mentioned mustache distortion exactly lol

[@MountainHutFilms]

Somewhat confused. I understand an anamorphic lens produces a desqueezed image that’s narrow and wide such as 2:76 1 with or without the black bars. But watching your footage it just appears as 16:9 or thereabouts. What an I not understanding? Thanks.

[@team2films]

The dimensions of the final image are dependent on the squeeze factor, the size of the sensor used to capture the image and how the image is cropped. For example, if you shoot on 1.33:1 sensor (4:3) with a 1.5x lens you’ll end up with an image that’s close to 16:9 Does that help?

[@MountainHutFilms]

@@team2films yes it does thank you.

[@MrObiorah]

Please, which ASPECT RATIO did you use on time code 0:23 and on time code 0:25 ???

[@team2films]

Those shots are presented in 1.78:1 but were most likely shot in 3:2 open gate super 35. Hope that helps

[@MrObiorah]

@@team2films Thanks a lot!

They're are expensive

[@team2films]

Yes we can appreciate that, but for the right audience compared to other anamorphic lenses they are actually quite affordable.
