Anamorphic ZOOMS! - Laowa 1.5X Nanomorph 28-55mm and 50-100mm Review

[@cammackey]

The anamorphic king has spoken.

[@Dezdirectz]

Nice to see have you back!

[@LucasPfaff]

happy new year! they certainly have that signature-blandness we know and tolerate from Laowa anamorphics it's great to see how they made everything right on the handling-side of things. The aperture not being terribly worse than the primes make them very attractive as well (or let's say: makes the primes less attractive now). I hope you can find a chance to test them with the 1.33x adapter on top, maybe that will transform them from a white toast to whole-wheat toast

[@pdcorlis]

Always love getting your take on things. 👏🏻

[@thegospelcallTGC]

Thank you for another great video, I always enjoy your smile throughout the video. God bless you.

[@JonathanFrench]

Just ordered the 50mm, but excited to add a Zoom to the mix down the road!

[@kurtnelle]

the tounge in cheek joke about pulling out... lol

[@FreshSqueezedLightning]

5:30 It should be pointed out that Anamorphics almost always breathe regardless of price. I just finished ACing a feature with Cooke 2x Anamorphics and they breathe like crazy. Same with many others I've pulled with, so breathing isn't a dealbreaker with Anamorphics

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Good point!

[@bladimadrigal9221]

Exactly who I looked for when I heard of this lens

[@ParaLightWorX]

Love your Videos! What camera did you use with this lens? :)

[@slipoch6635]

always a great video man, cheers.

[@disclosureproductions]

I have the feeling the bokeh of these anamorphics zoom lenses haven't this "real anamorphic bokeh look", am I wrong ?

[@russellcameronthomas2116]

I hope you test the Samyang V-AF Anamorphic adapter (manual focus) when it comes out. 1.7X squeeze. It is announced but not yet available for shipment. What's intriguing is the electronic connection between the adapter and the lenses, which may enable better sharpness across the focus range by controlling the interaction between the adapter elements and the lens elements. Works with 100mm, 75mm, 45mm, 35mm lenses for full frame, and 24mm lens for APS-C.

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

I'll keep an eye out for it! I should be able to test it soon! :)

[@seanfrancis7101]

I have the 50-100mm. I’m not sure the parfocal ability is working correctly & I’m not gonna lie, I screwed up my last nanomorph 50 when I tried to switch from PL to EF. Could you do a video showing how to do the shimming process on Laowa nanos? No one else has a video like that, and I think my 50 is completely compromised. The flares seem to be vertical. Tito! Why? Why are my damn flares vertical? Can I fix this?

[@kuraro]

we missed you Tito. I love the 28-55... think it could be a nice option for documentary on s5iix... what you think?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

I missed y'all too! Both of them are great options for a 2-cam doc, the 50-100 being able to get inserts here and there, while the 28-55 makes the main footage.

[@RM-ud2cm]

PL mount has flange distance based restrictions. that are absent in L mount, E mount.

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

True. But PL is rock solid every time.

[@KronikPRODUCTIONS_]

These look sweet!

[@dhigun]

Hello, Can the EF/PL mount be used on the fx30 with metabones EF to E-mount speed booster? I have heard that the rear element protrudes into the camera body preventing a "speed booster" but allowing an adapter without an intervening lens element.

[@verebellus]

i kinda like the slight vignette

[@gummoman]

Hii Tito, I love you 🤩. what do you think about the Remus set lenses?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

I'm still waiting for it to test out their performance!

[@MsDaniel9112]

Se pueden usar con cámaras Sony usando un adaptador PL a E ?

[@TrenchfootSalvador]

What camera was used for your main talking head video? And what was used for the bts showcase of the lens?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

The same, S5II. On S35 for the talking head, full frame for some of the BTS (my mistake) :)

[@metivamedia]

Does setting them both to "50mm" provide an opportunity for matching or are they too dissimilar?

[@fred-ng3gv]

Thank you!!

[@TapeSlateProductions]

What are your thoughts on the Blazar Remus?

[@ImageLaneCC]

Thanks for sharing the video. I'm curious, how do you feel about it compared to the Proteus 2x Lenses? Personally, I find that the 2x lenses offer a richer anamorphic character, even when cropped to 2.4:1. It adds a more cinematic touch, don't you think?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

They definitely do, as 2x is the "default" anamorphic look, but the Proteus are much bigger, heavier, and pricier, so I like the nanomorphs a lot because they're none of those things. hahaha

[@mikemcglasson1286]

To be clear, the silver flare is not a neutral flare, right?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Correct. Not a neutral flare.

[@danielborges.]

Hey, sabe me dizer a distância do flange PL (a protuberância de trás)? É que o kit adaptador PL da WoodenCamera para BMPCC6K PRO tem que ser 33,89 mm no máximo.

[@AnimeZone247]

When are you going to review the blazar 1.5 Remus

[@adriancluskey3640]

Good Stuff!

[@panoramaxtv]

Hi Tito (like the hair cut) 🙂 and your channel ! Lots of good valuables informations. I need to ask (maybe someone already did before..) In lots of movies shot with anamorphic I noticed a blurry artefact at the bottom of some shots. Either sometimes a close up or a wide shot. This doesn't match with a shallow depth of field, it looks more like a bottom blurry "vignette" added in post to direct the viewer's attention to the center of the frame. I don't have an exemple but it's in almost every feature film. Do you have an explanation for that ? Is it regular anamorphic artefact or postproduction ? Thank you (and sorry for my Frenglish !!) ;-)

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Heyo! Thank you for the positive feedback - on the channel and the haircut! The blurry vignette is usually caused by spherical aberration, and it's commonly called as "focus falloff", the same way a vignette is caused by "light falloff". In today's age where everything goes through intense post production, it could be either from the lenses (as it was, traditionally), or added later on. :)

[@panoramaxtv]

@@AnamorphicOnABudget Sounds clear. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge !

[@toddtab3048]

Love your stuff, but you & i have differing definitions of "on a budget". 😂

[@ksk40]

ahhh super 35

[@RM-ud2cm]

Zeiss switches to E mount, for cine lenses. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqake5-mpZxoitU

[@xbaroka]

I realy like your videos and I don't want to offend you, but could you fix it front of the camera instead of sideways your head ? You're shaking your head left and right appreciatively most in your video, it's so confusing and annoying 😂😂 just stay front of the camera 🎉

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

You can just listen to it instead of watching me shake my head. hahahaha. I can't stand still, I'm always too excited when making these videos.

[@jonathonfriedl1766]

Who still wears a mask!!

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Although you didn't quite ask a question: Whoever wants to wear a mask. People wore masks long before COVID, and people will continue to wear them long after. :)
