Blazar Remus 35mm 1.5x s35 anamorphic lens: A filmmaker's dream

[@fawwazallie7736]

" You as a DP is not to make accurate images. You are there to make pretty images." Nice to see a small channel that has great content. Thanks for the review.

[@YouTube_can_ESAD]

27 years behind the camera, it truly depends on what type of job you’re shooting (commercial, sports, promotions, multiple genres of documentary/narrative jobs all have different visual demands) and what motivates those images. Shooting “pretty images” is not always the mission.

[@fawwazallie7736]

@@KZbin_can_ESAD Thanks for being clear. I didn't know this, I guess I have to wait until 27 years to figure this out. "Shooting “pretty images” is not always the mission." I guess sometimes you just bring a camera and hit record. No lighting, No framing. Just hit record. Maybe I was just quoting a DP who said this. Since we are talking about narrative film making, maybe that quote applies to that. What the fuck do I know I got to wait 27 years to understand what the fuck that even means.

What ND or VND do you use with the Blazar 35mm?? Just picked one up myself and am looking for around.

[@CineDailies]

I use the moment VND. I think I have a link in the description

[@tobiasfalk9112]

The lenses look great, but I can't stress this enough, your grade looks fabulous. The Kinefinity and the Fuji really blend well.

[@CineDailies]

you’re too kind ha honestly I wasn’t too precious with the grade. I just got to a spot that I liked. I want to get better at this.

[@isabeldelrosal1959]

would love to see more of your test footage, it's really beautiful, love to see the other lenses just test footage!

[@CineDailies]

I'll keep that in mind next time!

[@DANAMIONLINE]

I'm digging the jazzy tunes. Speaking of elevators, have you seen Lewis Pott's video on a DIY elevator set? I noticed the FOV of the 35mm on the Fuji is wider than the 45mm with Speedbooster on the Kinefinity. (Was this because of cropping to 16:9?) Yet, when both lenses were on the Kinefinity, the 45mm with SpeedBooster had a wider FOV.

[@haloboy456]

Did you desqueeze vertically or horizontally? Also did you ever use this with a speed booster just to see if it can get stupid bright?

[@CineDailies]

In this video…its horizontal. I didn't bother. 1.6 is plently bright

[@rafalb9150]

Great video. I am really intrigued by your focusing system and external screen. What a usufull set up you have. Would you share info on what are you using and how to build one? Fantastic content and shots especially few frames of your kids playing. Well done. I feel inspired to film my daughter now

[@UltraCodex66]

Im pretty sure it’s the DJI lidar pro combo focus system or whatever the name is, Cam Mackey has been covering it recently as well with these lenses

[@CineDailies]

Thank you for watching! Yeah I can make a build video on it. There some new coming from DJI in July. So stay tuned

[@fakejazznut]

they look like they can cut nicely with old Kowa anamorphics. pretty crazy how cheap they’re set at (they’re among the cheapest PL lenses period, let alone anamorphic)

[@CineDailies]

So true

[@jondoeslifestuff]

Yup! Don't get me wrong, the S35-35 looks great.... or I could speedboost my 45 and save the cash, which is what I've opted for. The Remus set as a whole, what a banger to start the year off for 2024, great product and I love them.

[@CineDailies]

For sure

[@anthony87fiorillo]

So which did you end up liking better? 45 with speed booster or 35? I’d love to see more comparisons of those two.

[@CineDailies]

Still testing, but as of right now I use the 35mm more often

[@uidfilms]

@@CineDailiesare all the 35mm shots with the silver flare or is that the grade. Looks so good dude! I’m convinced on buying it now.

[@SDA-Sound]

I have the 45mm, absolutely love filming on it and takings stills. In real world applications though it’s really tough to nail focus and unfortunately I have to crop in all the time cause I’m on a gfx100ii

[@CineDailies]

Are you stopping down? Or always wide open?

[@SDA-Sound]

I only adjust the aperture when i want to bring everything into focus or when it’s super bright out to assist iso.

​@@CineDailies you could break the 180 rule and just have shot at 1/8000th of a second on the shutter. we arent judging the lens for its motion cadence. we want to see how the lens looks with the gained vertical hight

[@CineDailies]

Exactly lol

[@chinitopinoy1726]

Have you tried using the speedbooster wide open with the Remus 35 1.5x? It will probably vignette but just want to see what center sharpness looks like.

[@CineDailies]

At that point you'll be cropping in because of the vignetting… so it'll be basically a 45mm

[@chinitopinoy1726]

@@CineDailies I know I just wanted to see it. My Camera is 2/3 sensor camera (Chronos 1.4) and wanted to use a speedbooster with the the 35 T1.6. Just wanted to see what the center sharpness would be. I know my camera will clear it by a long shot due to my crop factor which is 3.9X.

[@The_CGA]

The texture and….presence…of the background even wide open is really something special. The breathing is…interesting. With the DJI autofocus lacking intention, it is a bit distracting. But with intentional pulls and blocking, no big deal.

Hi Josua, looking for buy this 35 lens for my fuji x-h2s and start my journey in Cine Lenses...Looking the PL to X adapter and see that u Use the Metabones one..any resason why? can use any other PL to X mount of other brands? Thanks for your time

[@TaylorWinn-w4c]

Alright, I'm struggling to grasp whether or not I can attach these FF lenses to my EF BMPCC6K pro...is that possible?? I'm assuming you're using a Kinefinity speedbooster mount, not a dedicated speedbooster, then running a PL to EF adapter for the lens? Would love to buy the FF line and use a speedbooster, but I'm struggling to see how that's possible with my 6kPro EF? Maybe I'm missing something.... Thank you!

[@stevieweir8988]

I was initially super disappointed in my Remus 45/65/100 on the Gfx/Xhs2- really soft. HOWEVER- on my s5iix with a more expensive (better?) PL adaptor they are much much better. Still need shimmed but after watching this video I’ve preordered this as well! Super excited for your new space.

I would like to get this lens, buuut sadly there is a lot of color fringing 2:08 which I don't like having in my videos. A bit is okey but that's a lot.

[@CineDailies]

Cool

[@coudik]

it looks beautiful, the only problem i have is the panning distortion on the corners.. maybe i will wait for the 33mm fullframe one to use on s35 sensor to get rid of that problem

[@frankhu8692]

that’s the classic anamorphic style though, what i mind more is their 65 and 100 being weak on image quality

[@coudik]

@@frankhu8692 for me personaly its too distracting and i find the 65mm the most beautiful to be honest

[@CineDailies]

you will always have more distortion on wider anamorphic lenses at a stronger squeeze 1.5 1.6 1.8 and 2X

This looks unusable unless your goal is to wes Anderson center frame everything. How can I shoot a side profile of two people engaged in conversation if they're going to squished with distortion? I would maybe expect this with a 24mm if they ever went that wide.. but this is a 50mm equivalent on s35 and it's this distorted? Hopefully the full frame 33mm will be better.

[@CineDailies]

Lol have you used anamorphic lenses before? This is not a “50mm” equivalent in terms of FOV. Divide 35mm by 1.5 and thats your width. A 33mm will most likely have the same distortion. Watch anamorphic on a budget, you'll learn a lot!

@@CineDailies I've only used adapters. Some I've stayed away from BECAUSE of the fishbowl look. You don't have to use a lense like this to see what it does. I've watched other videos with the same lens and the results are the same.. too rediculously distorted for my taste.
