As a potential customer, I honestly prefer this style of videos. Just show me how the footage from the lens looks in depth!

[@KamranJawaid]

As do I. Nothing against lab-tests, but these real world tests show you much much more

[@cammackey]

The KING has spoken. Thanks for watching brother ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Shout out YCImaging and CAMMACKEY!!! Both Legends!

[@theranchhand]

Some of your comments were so well explained. I’ve been making a living as a director, cinematographer, writer and actor in “Hollywood” for over 30 years and was shooting super 8mm and 16mm from the age of 10 before that. Your point about the “paint brush” is so important. The lens is what we use to capture our story and that story should drive that lens. And there is no one answer as each filmmaker feels it different. Anamorphic may not be the tool for one person (well loved Roger Deakins is one) and be the total end-all for another. I shot one feature film as a director with anamorphic after begging and pleading the producers (this is after directing a dozen features on spherical) and could not until the last couple years go out and practice or even attempt a low budget (under 100k) feature without anamorphic til now. Not every one would I want to use them on but I bought the A set last month out of the Burbank office and shot in Asia with them the last month right out of the box! Was learning their traits as I went. This B set I don’t even know about (I just landed back in the US 6 hours ago)! So thank you (and curse you) for making me aware of the new set and for explaining what you did as I feel most KZbinrs/filmmakers get very confused on what they are talking about when it comes to “looks” and lenses and why we use and choose them. Like people, they are varied and gloriously different and “perfect”.

You give so much knowledge in 1 vid that's some channel s never give in their whole channel history..with "for dummy like me" examples..you are gold for us users and by gold for panasonic...as you did now more than commercial- you actually prove your point 👍💯

[@morganestill]

I’m siting in my color correction studio right now, doing final color on a series that I shot with the A set of these lenses. Dammit, Cam - you made me order the B set… for those of us who purchased the A set direct from Blazer, check your email - you can get the B set for $1999 - you should have a code in an email. If you can’t find it, give their North American office a call, they were super helpful.

[@waynosfotoscameras]

Yep!

[@StevenDivish]

I'm half way though the video and wanted to say Cam must have a clone locked in his basement or something-how else could someone push out so many videos back to back with such great quality? P.S. I've been watching your videos since the ZCam era lol

[@alzibaba]

Yet more fantastic stuff from Blazar, great to see so much footage thanks Cam. Great point about t8 still separating the subject. I shot a load this winter at t8 and was amazed at how good the separation was while showing the environment in a painterly way.

[@ChuckRiseUp]

Finally someone saying it real : anamorphic lenses are NOT meant to be used wide-open. They are way too soft and doesn't make your image looks good. Most DP use them at T4 / T5.6 or even T8. It's great that you are debunking these false ideas that wide open is not creating a more "cinematic" image. For me the B-set is definitely a better choice since the 50mm is clearly the most useful focal in the whole set.

[@MattQuattro]

Thank you so much for this Cam. I've been waiting out for another sale on the A-Set but this B-Set is next level! With the 33mm as a 4 lens option as well, I'm totally sold. Also agree with your anamorphic comments too- they're often not clinically sharp and that's why people love them. Keep up the good work man!

[@eksmaan]

This is a great video man. Straight up footage while talking through it. Really helps make a more informed decision on the lenses. Thank you!

[@Wildridefilms]

The 50mm seems like the sweet spot. Once the 33mm comes out, the 50mm and the 100mm would pair up with it very well. Blazar are making very interesting designs. And thankfully these are PL mount rather than some mirrorless mount which are very hard to adapt.

[@ejgravolin]

Thank you for making this video, Cam. So helpful! 🙏

[@MarkHoltze]

Great demonstration across the board, but my favourite part was the K-9 sniffing out the mountain Feline and the very end "F that's hot" little wash session.

[@DMProductions]

you're making me feel really YT lazy with all these videos! haha

[@BrendonKPadjasek]

Wow, can't believe they pushed out more quality lenses this year. As always, amazing videos Cam! You and Ed Prosser are my favourite on the platform. I've been loving the 45, 65 and 100mm silver flares. The 33mm and 125mm have me concerned about my savings.

[@birthright94]

can't wait for comparison with new updated cato lenses

[@Framesbyfrisby]

5:08 I was thinking “man I really like that road.” Squirrel!!!

[@the180degreerule3]

13:12 that lion was just trying to tell You he would keep that lens at T8 too 😂 😂

[@user-2fkheS6COV1UKE6]

Probably 50mm is best lens in both sets, since it has nice anamorphic texture and pretty good sharpness on the object in focus. Perfect for those who wants a clean anamorphic look.

[@waynosfotoscameras]

Blazar are really offering an amazing line up. I am most interested in the 33mm as I already have the A set. The 33mm brings a wider look, which you can't cheat by cropping! Love filming close with wide lenses! ❤

[@tobiasfalk9112]

Great video, like always! The lion was scary, but the B-set really looks better than the first set of Remus lenses and they're still gorgeous. It's incredible how they can make them that sharp and with those organic flares at the same time.

[@-441-]

BLAZAR TIME BABY!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔬🔬🔬

[@OliKember]

Sharpness and CA tests were invaluable, thanks. Feels like the new lenses outperform the old ones, which is good - but also bad because now the set's not consistent. Still, good to see their progress in a year!

[@films_by_aw]

Thanks for the video Cam. Really appreciate and love your style of video!

[@Brandon-cr9if]

I recently shot a feature with the A set on the Venice. Footage was amazing. Blazar is killing the game. One the best investments I made. Will definitely cop the 33mm. I really wish they had a focal length between 200mm-300mm. In order to get a ECU had to put a +3 diopter on the 100mm which required us to always use a different matte box when going for ECU. Great lenses still.

[@GMTNeil]

I totally agree with stopping down on anamorphic's, I grew up on movies from the 80's such as Star wars, indiana Jones even Die Hard, they all used Panavision C series and all of them where stopped down. I have been on an anamorphic trip over the last few years and you summed up a lot I have found. We are lucky that there is so many options. I have been having fun trying the Samyang anamorphic adapter and it has a surprisingly nice look.

[@EricGibaud]

Fantastic review!

[@earnieboy54]

I’m just happy that they are releasing a 33mm FF lens. I was sad about the 35mm being for super 35 sensors but now I’m good

[@pdcorlis]

Nothing brings the camera nerd out in me like lens tests! BTW your home town is in a beautiful place.

[@yoshiYoishIRL]

I truly understand your frustration when people come to anamorphic world haha I got approached by a couple of buyer who's interested in buying my sirui anamorphic lens. They mostly take picture of models and portrait then complained the lens was too soft and not crystal clear sharp like... bruh that's how anamorphic lens works.... They don't even know what chromatic aberration and barrel distortion mean. Really makes me think us cinematographer understand our gear way better than most photographers... Not to look down on them so of course I did gave them some free education on anamorphic lens and what type of lens that suits their need.

[@edancohen3461]

Thanks for the video, Cam. While I’m here for the lenses, I also want to shout out how amazing Sedona is - she stayed alert, but calm, in the face of a full-on predator. Amazing companion!

[@cammackey]

Yeah I’m a bit surprised she was so calm.. she must of knew her place in the food chain haha

[@simonenisi3913]

Always the best demos for these kind of lenses, amazing work!! I'm really curious about that distortion fix you've been talking about in the cato review as well, did you mention it again but didn't show how to do it or I'm trippin?

If I could like this video twice I would. Great comparisons thanks!

[@antonzavarzin7208]

I like the softness and the edge distorion from Blazar Remus 45mm. Would i achive the same look with vintage lenses (canon fd/helios/nikkors) and Blazar Nero adapter?

[@KevinvanDiest]

Dude, great video ..again. The location is also killer! Cammackey daily life situation: "ow look a Mountain Lion" My daily life situation: "ow look, a squirrel"

[@cammackey]

😂😂😂😂 I mean mountain lion sightings are def a rarity

[@KevinvanDiest]

@@cammackey Yeah, same here with squirrels hahahahh. Just great seeing these kind of world/daily life differences merged into a review video. Keep it up man! (Are you going to IBC by any chance?)

[@-441-]

9:45 I agree. I think another great modern movie example is Godzilla x Kong the most recent one. Some of those shots had some serious swirling and barrel distortion (especially in those close up Hollow Earth scenes) and tbh I loved it! I love T2.0 and T2.8, give me dirty!!

[@Abdi_Mohamed_]

The 125mm would look crazy in a sports stadium on an athlete!

[@Cameraonthemove669]

Your color grading is interesting, have you done a video on this topic, how you approach it? I liked the look of the motorcycle “film” etc. and wondered how much of the look is lens and how much is grading/profile. I assume you’re using V-log? Anyway, I’m keeping my S1H, buying the DJI focus system and looking at the C-400 for my A cam work horse over the Komodo X….. perhaps 🤔 🤷🏼‍♂️ Love to hear your thoughts. Cheers Cam, from Cam

[@videopromike]

Ahhh! The Alien voice at 22:11 is crazy! Voice Isolation in Resolve or Adobe?

[@Blohme_official]

I appreciate this. I need a little more budget to get a hold of these. I'll work on it. I think you have sold it.

[@galenbeals3538]

Damn... These look sooooo goooood! I actually love all the softness and bloom and usually shoot wide open with my A set. I'm not really sure I need any of these B set lenses especially since if I need to a little bit closer in with any of the A set lenses, there's always clear image zoom on my Sony. But they really do all look really great. If I didn't already have my original set, I might have chose the 33, 50, and 85mm since those all seem like the focal lengths I normally use. Although that being said, anamorphics are obviously a lot wider than those focal lengths that I'm used to so it's hard to tell if there would be an advantage. Also, @cammackey, Do you know if they're going to send you the 33mm? That's the one I might actually just buy on its own to fit in that extra hole in the case. ;)

[@petersonlee26]

Ohh yeah, was waiting for this.

[@Mamotreco]

Im not even the target audience for this but I still love this video

[@GabrielScindian]

Yes please the new 33 and 50 looks amazing. Oh snap I did not know I could set the DJI Lidar so high above the lens to capture focus. That will help when using matte boxes

[@cammackey]

I def wouldn’t recommend it! But it can get the job done

[@JustWhatINeed83]

@@cammackey curious why you wouldn't recommend it? Great video, Cam. You cover all the bases and everything looks killer!

[@javier_alba]

what's your opinion on the Blazar Great Joey compared to the Remus? Thank you.

[@cammackey]

I prefer the Remus personally. The 50mm great joy was amazing but the stretch changes as you focus.

[@gryffinmorgan]

Id love to see how they look using S35 in future tests :)

[@ScottBalkum]

Mountain lions are crazy! They have a 125 mile range that they travel. We saw one here at my place 10 years ago and never again. Huge cats… That B set looks quite nice.

[@cammackey]

It’s rare to see them here in so cal! I called the forest rangers and they were pretty shocked haha. Just weird it let itself be seen even

[@ScottBalkum]

@@cammackey Yup, we called the game warden here to inquire about them and he said, yeah, we have them and they are around but you’ll likely never see it again because they roam so far from their home. Specialized animals for sure!

[@Joe.Blackwood]

21:34 did I miss the fix? Does the 50mm feel like it has less swimming pool/fish bowl distortion it looks slightly better on your pans? I love my 45mm but i have to undistort everything and apply a less distracting distortion

[@edancohen3461]

Same thought - where is the fix? I have an idea what it is based on Resolve settings, but still want to see how Cam does it.

[@atifbalouch]

I keep seeing a vertical streak. I never noticed seeing vertical streaks before. I don't like it. Is that a new thing with the B set? I have the 65 of the A set, and like it. planned to add the 100. was curious about the 125, but that vertical streak is a no no for me.

[@cammackey]

A lot of abamorphics have verticle flares the sneak in. Even $40,000 abamorphics. Its normal. If you want super clean flares, go with Sirui or Laowa. You’ll lose the rest of the anamorphic look though but you’ll still get the destretch.

I'm not convinced over the difference in field of view between the 45 and 50. Is this really so noticeable? Do u have any information why its not possible to buy the 125mm separately? Do u gonna make a video on the 33mm? PS: Rolling Shutter when u tested the 125mm was crazy xD

[@BrandonTalbot]

Stoked they made a BSet. Love the focal lengths. Just disappointed they're not making them EF. Don't know why you'd abandon that.

Niiiice wonderful review man :) idk but i think i either switch from the a to the b set or to vazen fullframe idk

[@cammackey]

For one Vazen lens you can get both sets lol

@@cammackey they get super cheap at the moment, i just got a used 85mm vazen for 1800 and now ia am thinking of either getting rid of the blazar to get 50mm too or staying with blazar but changing to the b set ... idk the grass is always greener on the otherside

[@Ronnie.Ericsson]

I got the cheaper Lumix S5 so I could afford one of these lenses. Now, it turns out I'll mostly be using some ASP-C-like portion of the sensor because of the cameras limitations. Photo Mode(?) FF 30fps could be useable occasionaly. Does it then make sense to go for the 33 mm FF even though much of the edge distortion will be cropped out? I have nothing against the 35 mm s35 other than that I don't feel like limiting myself to a smaller sensor area just because of the camera I have at the moment. If all the math adds up in my head I should be getting close to a 50 mm FF anamorphic in horizontal field of view, which seems like a ...reasonable choice, right? Any thoughts from people who have owned the S5? I'll have to watch AnamorphicOnABudgets video about the S5 shooting modes again.

[@julianwuerzler]
