Mir 1B 37mm f/2.8 Extreme Mod - Anamorfake! Anamorphic Lens Look

[@ianhawke]

"They give you an endless golden hour" - shoots the video at golden hour.

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

You got me! Hahahaha. I also shot lots on these guys that were NOT golden hour, but still shared the feel.

[@michaelpark952]

I am NOT taking apart my precious vintage lenses, although your superb and enjoyable tutorial makes it very very tempting. Great video!

[@ionutmindru2762]

Dude!!!That's awesome, didn't know the front element can be unscrewed so easily. My lens has a bit of fog on the front lens. Now can't wait to get home and clean it. Cheers

[@BeardCinema]

So sinematic effect tnx i will try with my Гелиос 44-3

[@Raychristofer]

what's up Tito how you doing? I like how you're able to take this lens completely apart and put it back together with confidence, I took mine apart to do the minimum focusing distance modification. I actually just completed my most thorough lens review ever on my channel of this particular lens and it's a great companion to the Helios you're welcome to check it out if you like.

[@Hardchoro]

Dear Tito Ferradans , I wonder if I can use the Mir-1B f / 2.8 / 37mm lens with the koziro cinema mount, whose thread measures 37mm. Thank you very much. Best regards

[@giulas]

Muito legal...mas prefiro só mexer atras dela...vc mora onde?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Vancouver, Canada! :)

[@NaviRetlav]

You could invert the front glass on your MIR lens, thanks to that you will get the reverse globular mod, which can create an epic bokeh, and it takes only 1 minute to reverse it back to normal if needed. I would love to see the footage of that mod with your painted lens ;)

[@iamneallyons4263]

really?

[@jonasernhill8853]

Thanks for the step by step tutorial. I can't get the back glass and the middle glass out no matter how much I tap or bang it against my hand. Is there another way getting the glasses out?

[@guilhermecardoso6049]

Hi there!! There's any way to make those lenses reach infinity focus at Nikon cameras?

[@lindstrem]

hey, sorry but would this work with a .64 metabones on bmpcc4k? I am trying to decide between helios and this one, I think I prefer the wider lens.. pls help. thanks!

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Yeah. :)

[@Hardchoro]

Hello Tito Ferradans, I wonder if I can use the Mir-r-1 lens directly on the Koziro Cinema mount. Thanking you for your attention and waiting for an answer. Regards Pedro sabino

[@ChrisFlores22]

How do I remove the bokeh mod? I got it modded from iron glass and I want to remove the mod to give me a stop of more light. Do I need to disassemble the lens from front to back or is there an easier way???

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

As far as I know, opening it up is the only way to get something out.

[@nisrinakurnia]

Hi Tito Which one would be the best version to buy? Mir-1 silver M39 (early version). Mir-1 black M42 (most common) Mir-1A with t-mount (uncommon); Mir-1B M42 (VOMZ). Mir-1V

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

They're all fairly similar inside. So, it's up to you, and your logistics! :)

[@manueljenkin95]

What are other ways to get this colourful (yellow/orangish look) on another lens without modding? Any filters that can come close to doing this?

[@manueljenkin95]

Tito Ferradans a similar diy in the adapter (vintage lens to e mount) would do it?

[@jtouelo]

Where can I get that kind of aperture disk?

[@topolanszky87]

Hey! Do you have anamorphic filter ring to the mir 1B for sale? Thanks

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Yep! anamorphic.e-junkie.com/product/1738621/Anamorphic-Bokeh3A-Pre-CutC2A0Oval-Insert

[@HyperlapseMexico]

Hello Tito. Do you ever try with an AF lensce? Do you know if the Autofocus would still working?

[@JorgeDourado]

As always great video and tips. Happy Christmas! Cheers.

[@Arkadiusz4321]

is this only about flares and oval bokeh? or the mod makes the lens even more blurry background?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

It doesn't make the background blurrier. :)

[@Arkadiusz4321]

@@AnamorphicOnABudget ok, Thanks for answer bro 🙂

[@tonydubshot]

excellent! merry christmas to you too

[@tamias82]

Hello Tito. Thanks for interesting tutorial. What will happen if I remove infinity blocking screw? Will it focus to the infinity on the Nikon camera then? At this moment it is focusing only at about 1 meter on the Nikon.

[@cinnabun1046]

What would happen if you used two different colors on the aperture disk and the interior of the lens?

[@MANZANOADRIAN]

im shooting a short pilot pitch in colombia. limited budget. can i buy this lens? would giv you creds if show is picked up

[@MANZANOADRIAN]

@@AnamorphicOnABudget i dont hav skills. Should i buy ironglass or dogshit

[@rodrigofeiteira]

Does the lens body usually rotate? I got mine and the entire lens rotates.

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Uhhhhhh, that seems weird.

[@jamesryoma]

Any recommendations for an even wider lens that would fit with the look of these three lenses? something in the 24mm range

[@giorgiocitarella6584]

Did you ever find this?

[@jamesryoma]

@@giorgiocitarella6584 no

[@Genv6]

on the topic of this lens, what is required to get this to clear the mirror in a 5d mark ii?

[@Genv6]

Tito Ferradans, great news. all I got the lens for was film :)

[@Imhotep397]

Lol, funny dude. Great mod as always. I was wondering if you do every part of this mod except spraying the interior threading and coating removal/polishing would you still get an amber tone, just not as strong? Thank you and Merry Christmas Tito.

[@Netscorer]

Imhotep397 In fact, I would recommend not to paint the innards of the lens tube at all as you risk misaligning optical composition of the lens, leading to severe sharpness loss and unwanted distortions in the image.

[@johanneskepler873]

Anyone know where to find that rotating adapter in 2021?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Look for M42 adjustable adapter and you'll find it! They're still super common (more than they were at the time)

[@MANZANOADRIAN]

can we see some new footage? of all 3. sliders? wide open. closed... thanks

[@sl3102]

Can't you achieve the same "golden hour" effect in post? Seems such a waste to modify a lens like that.

[@tankurttekin_]

Great work! But the final effect is a little bit exaggerated.

[@gnarlyvision852]

For just one day every year could this series be called the Anamorphic Slop Shop?

[@gnarlyvision852]

I don't mean it in a negative way. I just thought slop shop sounded really funny.

[@gnarlyvision852]

Thanks.

[@ZapytajFotografa]

Thank you!

[@hannibalcosta]

Good job, but I'll not destroy my old MIR-1V (B means V in Cyrillic).

[@mtuan2086]

Great job!!!!

[@alenz01]

Amazing and fucking worth it, I'm going to try it!

[@jackmckechnie5801]

lol...I would rather keep it as it is except for giving it a Nikon mount...perfect modification for focal reducers and adapters.

[@GiacomoCastellanoVideomaking]

great!

[@SimonProcter]

brilliant

[@vladnickul]

first I was horrified by the butchery. but he result is not bad at all...

[@vladnickul]

* but it will be better to use chalk markers first white and then any collor, it is fully reversible. and you don't have to mess with sandpaper. ** when the sun is rising any hour is golden hour :))

[@NatLifeSounds]

I just don’t understand why all this was done to get such terrible quality? This lens takes great pictures on its own and you don’t need to do anything with it.

[@Твойфильм-авторскоевидео]

кто тебя только таким глупостям научил ))) там и оптическая схема нарушилась из-за краски.

[@DanielTroyer]

I just sent back my Helios because an internally painted lens is a NIGHTMARE for post color treatment and grading. If you want to introduce terrible color casting all the time, then go ahead and paint the lens. The best bet is just to get your colors naturally and shoot at true golden/magic hour. I've never understood the painted lenses, and never will. The bokeh and flare affects are awesome, but there is absolutely no reason to paint a lens in my opinion!

[@DanielTroyer]

Tito Ferradans That is a good point! If you’re trying to nail for delivery with minimal post it could be a good modification. Oh I’m also going to be ordering some Oval bokeh aperture discs for the Mir 1 from you soon. I think I’m going to try the oval bokeh on it with the Anamorphot 40 1.33x on my Alexa and hope to get the desired look I’m hunting. Do you think the Mir 1 will pair well with the Anamorphot?

[@williamcurwen7428]

So sad to see a wonderful lens completely ruined like this. There are ways and means of going about getting good results - all in camera - without resorting to this mindless butchery.
