Bausch and Lomb Anamorphic lens Review 2022 4k

[@jimmoss9584]

Did you make that circle clamp at 4:52 or did you buy it? I like that idea. I have the black version you have sitting there.

[@mosswareproaudio6328]

So, I am looking at 6:09 and it is unclear if you have a screw connection to your taking lens or not. It doesn't look like it. Plus if you did how would you be able to align the anamorphic lens after screwing it into the taking lens? I think a lot of us would like to know the answer to that. In some shots the lenses don't seem aligned. So, do you just push the B&L into the face of a filter adapter on the camera, or do you screw it in.

[@jmoss99]

I had the same problem with my KOWA 16-H. Getting the vertical images vertical takes the ability to rotate the anamorphic lens.

[@jimmoss9584]

Where did you get that round support that holds the lens up? I might want to get one.

[@Gonzalez_Films]

@@jimmoss9584 eBay I believe it’s a canon lens support

I don't see any recent responses from Shawn here.

[@jmoss99]

Shawn, my question to you is, How is the B&L lens attached to the taking lens? I see the filter adaper ring, but is it screwed onto the taking lens AND the B&L lens too? If so, how can you adjust the anamorphic lens so that nothing is slanted? Because, if everything is screwed tight, then you cannot make that adjustment. I hope you see this and clear this up for us.

[@Gonzalez_Films]

@@jmoss99 with the rail system I use all my anamorphic lenses are just shimmied back as close to the taking lenses as possible ,you can rotate the lens while the camera is on to see if there is any skewing present make sure you use a flashlight or light source to get a flare and get that flare as level as possible.

[@jmoss99]

That is the answer I was looking for. What about light leaks? I have a few KOWA projector lenses like the 16-H and there I have to use a clamp, but with gaffers tape wound thick on the lens. This keeps light leaks low, but also something for the clamps to dig into. Shimmied? How does that work without scaring the taking lens? I can see how you do it on this lens, but what about 16mm lenses that can touch the glass of the taking lens.

[@jimmoss9584]

I think you will have light leaks where the filter adapter ring is. Unless you used some black material that compresses, like thick foam. Then cracks that will produce light leaks will be stopped. We will never know.

I appreciate this. I been trying to find any information about this lens for months . 🙏

[@Gonzalez_Films]

Thanks for watching I appreciate it

[@Sup90210]

Great video! What did you use to attach it to the taking lens? Thanks!

[@brucesmith1754]

Hello Shawn, can these cinemascope lens be used to attach to the front of a long throw laser projector lense to de-squeeze an anamorphic video image. No one seems to talk about how to display the anamorphic images.

[@Gonzalez_Films]

That is true I wish I had a film projector I could use to do just that

[@brucesmith1754]

@@Gonzalez_Films Thanks for the response, but Im wondering if you can use these lenses to desqueeze streaming video projected in anamorphic mode from modern long-throw Laser/LED projectors like the BenQ 4550i or the JMGO N1 Ultra 4k. Have any idea?

[@ryco_music]

hiii great video , i just have a question , what is a diopter ? and you used it for what reason exactly ? 🙏🏼

[@Gonzalez_Films]

@@ryco_music this lens does not focus close distance so a diopter in front of the lens helps get close shots

[@ryco_music]

@@Gonzalez_Films uh ok thanks for the info

[@Davidh741]

I used the black one for few years they re the best ones on the market best quality for hobbyist you can I used up to 24 mm taking lens. you can also cut it in half to reduce weight or close up filters

[@NepticFathers]

What mm were the diopters you were using? Also do you know the mm for the diameter for the lens tripod ring?

[@furkonige]

hello Shawn, after seeing your video I bought a lens like the ones you show and I have a question, why does the bokeh look oval horizontally and not vertically? the lens flare looks perfectly horizontal, but the bokeh looks horizontal too when put in the correct format inside premiere, the video image will look perfect in all its proportions, only the bokeh problem, I think I bought a weird lens because Only with my taking lens I can focus from 30 centimeters to infinity without needing anything, I repeat, but the bokeh is stretched horizontally, my taking lens is 50mm f095, thanks for your videos

[@itay205]

i have the same problem!! did you find why it happends? thanks

[@jimmoss9584]

The question is, did you just sell your black lens? Because I just bought one for $69. :-) I think I am over 35mm lenses now.

[@Gonzalez_Films]

@@jimmoss9584 no I still have it

[@Imhotep397]

Hey Shawn, were the tests done with the black B&L?

[@Gonzalez_Films]

Hey all the tests were done with the red and silver

[@Imhotep397]

@@Gonzalez_Films fascinating…all the B&L test footage with flares I’ve seen so far have faint white flares, probably just the color of the LED light.

[@Gonzalez_Films]

@@Imhotep397 remember the added diopter for closer focus adds some more flare artifacts

[@DoIbeats]

// Anyone know this one is radioactive or not? I have one w/ DIY own-made adapter!!! Heavy but amazing lens!!! //

[@Gonzalez_Films]

I do not believe so these are made in the USA

[@mtala1963]

You might find an expensive lens for free in the street or 20$ in a flea market, but it doesn't mean it worth 20$ just the lens cap worth more, KZbin is full of these comments about vintage cameras and lenses bought for 20$ ...comme on even a Bell and Howell 16 mm lens worth more than 20$.
