EJ Reviews Stuff: Bolex Möller 8/19/1.5x Anamorphot

[@zomgisha]

Never knew how much I missed the sense of existential dread in camera reviews until now. Subbed!

[@chinitopinoy1726]

If I have a cmount type camera, can I just put it directly on my camera or do I need a taking lens?

[@DaveyWoodford]

Are you selling the bolex ? Kindest regards

[@AutonomousPlayground]

i also dont care about anything but like to fill my time with oval shaped lenses. therefor i like this channel

[@yuriishevchenko9843]

I ma looking for one, but now the prices are crazy((( if somebody selling it for a real price - let me know. I am looking for the original Bolex, not to use as a adapter or something.

[@mikemcglasson1286]

are there any readily available things to buy that'll make this a single focus?

[@thangjalen]

Great review man! Like your sense of humor. subbed!! How do you do the dual focussing with nikkor lenses? care to share?

[@ExcitementBicycle]

T Chongloi Thanks! So for dual focusing, it was easiest with my Nikon 50mm Ai, because the distance markings on both the adapter and the taking lens roughly matched up. I would guess how far away my subject was... so say my subject was 1 meter away, I'd turn to the 1 meter mark on both my nikon and the bolex moller. Then I just nudge the focus on each until they seemed in focus. I definitely relied on focus peaking and zoom in to check if I was really in focus. Definitely took some practice, but ended up not as hard as I thought it would be.

[@thangjalen]

Thanks for the response. Hopefully I too would be able to do it when it arrives :)

[@maomao180]

The footage looks good!

[@NicoManansala]

what focal length of taking lens is without vignetting? on a gh5 or sony a7s?

[@nancybabich]

great stuff, thanks for the review, do you think moller can go on full frame?

[@VynnCuts]

How wide can you go with that adaptor? Can it handle between 35 and 50mm without vignetting?

[@HerotheValiant]

amazing work...what advice do you have for me i have an eos 60d and i want that same look i see on your test shots

[@ExcitementBicycle]

+HerotheValiant Thanks for all the comments! The bolex moller creates a lot of look that you see in the video. It's old glass and adds some character to the digital image. To replicate it on the 60d, you may want to look into vintage lenses like the Helios 44-2 and then get an m42 to eos adapter. I find using old lenses adds a bit of character to dslr footage. I also have a set of old nikon lenses that I adapter to canon sometimes, and that helps too. Another thing I might have used here, I don't remember exactly, but I might have used the premiere add-on film convert to give the footage a slightly more film-like look.

Hi, thanks for your nice review of the bolex anamorphot....can you please share the links for the macro coupler on ebay? thanks

[@arrodas]

ExcitementBicycle Thank you for the link, but the one I need is the link for the 24-37 macro adapter

[@ExcitementBicycle]

Oops. Yeah, I bought that a while ago on ebay, I can't seem to find it.

[@arrodas]

ExcitementBicycle No problem thanks anyways...really like your videos, Keep it up!!

[@MrMilanina]

Does Iscorama 36 also vary in compression rate based on the focus point?

[@davidph8780]

love your humour!!.. and very informative :D thanks for the vid

[@kriXoff75]

nice review. question: does it work with voigtlander 17.5mm and do it vignetting so need to crop video?

[@ExcitementBicycle]

Christophe Russo I don't own the lens to test it, but if I were to guess, it would probably vignette on a GH4 and maybe not or have light vignetting on a BMPCC. Again, just a guess.

[@kriXoff75]

ExcitementBicycle Ok thank you! like so much yours videos

[@jftvrwk]

i have that bolex lens and i gotta say, you make the lens look really good. I've actually not had any oval bokeh, strangely enough. Maybe because i use it with a 25mm c-mount on a bmpcc. Guess i should try some 85mm canon's.

[@ExcitementBicycle]

jftvrwk Yeah I'm not sure if I have a weird awesome copy or what. It just sings whenever I use it. It looks awesome with an 85mm lens for sure.

[@jftvrwk]

btw on that focussing thing: if you have a lens that focusses the same direction, dual focussing is not that hard. If you'd really want to use it for run and gun type of stuff, theres a new product on the market called the rectilux, they have focus adapters specifically made for this anamorphot. (and many more)

[@ExcitementBicycle]

jftvrwk Yeah, I've been keeping my eye on those rectilux people. Very intriguing.

[@TheDimatikhonov]
