[@TheJonathanLugo]

You should be doing Netflix movies. Great work!

[@ivandj707]

Yes, you have listed several films that used lenses with this focal length. However, many Hollywood movies were shot with a camera that has a super 35 sensor, which means that they had to use a lens with a different focal length to get a similar look. I want to say that this is an excellent lens, but the look of a Hollywood movies can be achieved with other lenses, and of course it is an advantage if they are anamorphic.

[@ermiaramez976]

Thanks for watching, bud. I think the three films I mentioned ( 1917, The Witch, and Call me by Your Name ) were shot on full frame cameras with 35mm lenses.

[@jaychow94]

Yep, 1917 was shot on the Alexa Mini LF and 35mm and 40mm lenses@@ermiaramez976

[@loremipsumproductivityengi7552]

35mm just isn’t wide enough for Super35 sensors. I wish they can make a 16mm one 😢

[@ermiaramez976]

This 35mm is for full frame sensor though.@@loremipsumproductivityengi7552

Yeah I know, the crop factor of super 35 sensor makes any 35mm lens a 50mm equivalent. But I really prefer the wider fov

Hey mate, your film is absolutely stunning! I've been creating 3D short films for a while and am now eager to start shooting live-action. I've been researching this lens for some time and watched thousands of videos made with it, but your film blew my mind. My conclusion is that while the lens is fantastic, your talent in lighting and color grading takes it to another level. Would you mind sharing your post-process? Thanks, and amazing work!

[@weztastudio6170]

I enjoyed it so much, thank you for this video

[@AlphaCentauri24]

Cinematic aspect ratio is around 2.35:1 to 2.40:1. On A7iv or any camera that records video in 16:9 you will get superwide 2.84:1 aspect ratio. I am sure you chopped off the sides of the footage & yet the footage is somewhere around 2.55:1 - still very wide. 1.6x anamorphic lens requires 3:2 recording (available in some cameras that allow open gate recording & have 3:2 sensor) 1.6*3/2 = 2.40:1 On camera's like A7iv the best you can go for an anamorphic is 1.33x 1.33*16/9 = 2.36:1 (close enough to 2.35:1)

[@ermiaramez976]

you’re right, i mentioned that fact about my camera on the video as well. but 95% of consumer cameras dont have open gate 3:2 option. i think Panasonic S5II and Fuji XH2S are the only ones. i zoomed my videos 1.150x to fit the 2.39.1 ratio, but even the original ratio after desqueez is not very weird to use, its around 2.79:1, and we have feature films shot entirly on this aspect ratio, like Hateful Eight. but ofcruse it would be a lot more pleasing to shot 3:2 with these 1.6 , 1.8 & 2 x anamorphics.

[@JY_MLOG]

[@ermiaramez976]

[@JESSROCKEDChannel]

how did you setup the room to look like it has volume in the air? another question, in case maybe you know the answer: how do we get or what do you call those dust mites effect we see on the lens floating in the air? as seen on professional films to add layers to the videos

[@harpenfluit]

Very beautiful. I would love to know how you have build your rig and how you do focus. I assume you don't have a dedicated focus puller as an assistance.

[@chrisjohnsonfilms]

Have you tried the night Walker series yet? If so, how would these 2 compare?

[@ermiaramez976]

no, actually i never tried Nightwalker series, but they are completely diffrent. nightwalkers are spherical cinema lenses for APS-C sensors, but Venus and Saturn series are anamorphic lenses for FULL FRAME sensors. Their greatest advantage over these anamorphic lenses is their speed, T1.2 is excellent for low light conditions. T2.9 is not that great

[@marcusp5345]

I have the Fx3 and Sirius carbon set. Due to lack of open gate, the footage is super wide and not as tall. It needs to be zoomed in on to get the height I see in this video. Not a attack on the camera or Sirius, but a word of warning that FX3 is not the ideal pairing with a 1.6 squeeze. 1.3 will look more “proper” - but, the crop also gives you options.

Thanks bud! I shot the entire video handheld, except one or two scenes in the jungle. It’s definitely harder for IBIS to stabilize anamorphic lenses, but i used Actavie Stabilizer on A7IV and it was enough for 80% of the times.

That’s how movies are made, anamorphic lenses are not affordable at all and usually mostly seen used for Hollywood movies, but sirui made anamorphic lenses for a cheap price, they largely impact the “movie look” and a lot of people try to recreate its effect Although I can understand your disappointment, but this is the closet to the movie look you can get with only a lens and a camera

😂😂😂 I like the joke. I guess you already know, but I tell my opinion anyway. Looks like these are standard procedures that have nothing to do with lens.
