Every FILMMAKER Needs This CHEAP Anamorphic Lens

[@wearetrackclub]

This video has a great casual vibe, and is edited and shot to such a high quality! Love this content, Cesar! 👏👏

[@cammackey]

Poetic and accurate! Great work. That Atlas footage looked 🔥🔥🔥 too

[@cesarlorca_]

Thanks dude I appreciate the love! And man… those Atlas Orion’s are soooo worth the back pain 😂

[@MtZionMediaPro]

Wow! This is a very high quality video. Love the color grade, would love to see a breakdown on how you colored this footage!

[@cesarlorca_]

Thank you for watching and I’ll make sure to do a walk through!

[@KeegansLife]

Bro your videos are unreal in quality, it's astonishing your sub count is so low, but I can promise you that is temporary. Keep up these high quality videos and you're going to be the lumix guy representing us in no time.

[@cesarlorca_]

Thanks for the love dude 😭 hopefully the channel will grow but honestly I just have fun making these vids so I’ll keep making them regardless hahaha

[@KeegansLife]

@ of course man! You’ve definitely encouraged me to start creating again. My biggest advice is to know when to take breaks. After working with big creators and turning content into a job, I’ve seen what burnout can do, and we definitely need more creators like you

[@HussainAl--Khalil]

Agreed, flares are the last thing for me when it’s time to use an anamorphic. Love these lenses and great video. I wanna end up owning a set

[@cesarlorca_]

Thank goodness, I thought I was gonna get thrashed for saying that 🤣 hahaha I appreciate you taking the time to watch! Same here! Do you own one already?? I really want to get the 33mm next

[@Andreas.Haffner]

damn i love the look of this lens! good vid bro 🤝

[@EddieVargas]

Damn! This lens has everything I need😲Great video btw!!

[@cesarlorca_]

It’s definitely worth it dude! Thank you!

[@halsinden]

are you based in the UK, fella? really very pleased finally to see some decent UK footage shot with one of these. i've used the initial set on a shoot of my own here in london, but the scottish highlands is just the most perfect setting for wide scapes.

[@cesarlorca_]

I’m from Miami Florida! I just took a quick vacation out to the highlands because it was on my bucket list. How did you enjoy the set? Did they meet your expectations?

[@SamThredder]

Hal! We have loads of mutual friends man, pretty sure you've been in bands with some people I know haha! Always cool to see someone I know of in a random video's comment section haha! Happened twice this week! Sam - Slabdragger/Cro's Nest Studio

[@halsinden]

​@SamThredder heya sam! yes indeed, i think we do have a fair amount of mutuals! hope you're doing very well. small old world, eh?

[@halsinden]

​@cesarlorca_ ah, that makes sense then! i actually really likes using them, but the project we had the B set hired on was a little peculiar in that we were attempting to match cronenwerth's work on blade runner almost shot for shot, so it may not have been the fairest assssment. i aim to hire them again to use to my own spec soon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/imOxeaCMp7Z3i8Usi=3FfwzwS2ncR-1apY

[@mhj.xd7]

Could you drop your lens list you are using?? And what about the talking head shot, shot on? It's a super cinematic

[@treyvollmerDP]

I don't mind the look of that chromatic aberration either!

[@KaanSenel]

Dope vid my man, already have the 85mm and eagerly waiting on the 33mm! Can’t wait to receive it

[@cesarlorca_]

Thanks bro! Mannnnnn I can’t wait to get the 33mm! The look of that lens is just 👌 How are you enjoying the 85mm? definitely going to be building this full set over time!

[@KaanSenel]

@@cesarlorca_ I honestly haven't used it really yet since I really want to have the 33mm as well before I make a full video about it, but the test shots I made with it look so good man

[@cesarlorca_]

I’ll be on the lookout for that vid bro!!!

[@kingmuhu]

What are good variations to have? Cus they have boxes with 33,50,85 and 100 or something like that.

[@KaanSenel]

@@kingmuhu I went with a 33-85mm combo. Might add a fifty later on but I think a 33-85 or 45-85 combo will cover a lot of your needs!

[@oubai9440]

What lens adapter are you using with these on your S5IIX? Thoughts on any issues or quality loss through adapting?

[@cesarlorca_]

I use the NISI adapter! It doesn’t have any glass elements so there isn’t any loss of quality

[@by.koi.]

Hey what PL to L mount adapter do you recommend?

[@drwho9319]

Very informal video, love the cinematography. My only concern is trying to attach this on a Sony fx3. I think I would need a Lens Mount Adapter. One person recommends me to use MOFAGE POCO lense mount adapter, it’s around 400. I just hope this lense mount adapter can work with other lenses as well like kowa/arri lense/ other types of lenses

[@cesarlorca_]

Hey! You definitely need a PL adaptor for these lenses and that one you got recommended is fantastic especially because of the filters and build quality. I personally use the NISI PL adaptor because it was a bit more affordable for me and I don't need the drop in filters. But that adaptor will definitely work with other PL lenses! I use the same adaptor across all my PL glass like my DZO and BLAZAR lenses.

[@cinegenies4651]

I like the sound of the shoes of the basketball team that plays behind you 😁. Nice review ! Wasn't hard to stabilize the shots ?

[@cesarlorca_]

Lmaooo had the whole team playing ball behind me 😭🤣 and naw man it’s pretty easy to stabilize the shots but just decided to keep some of that handheld feel in there

[@joshsmith3219]

A-ma-zing video dude.

[@cesarlorca_]

Thanks Josh! Trying my hardest 🙏

[@omenka]

Love mine! Lately used the Mercurys and there’s almost no quality difference 🤯

[@cesarlorca_]

Isn't that insane to think? Especially with the price difference between those two lenses

[@omenka]

@@cesarlorca_ Yeah absolutely! Actually preferred the blue flare over atlas’s amber one.

[@cesarlorca_]

Same! The amber looks good but the classic blue just looks 👌

[@UrbanRus]

Hey amazing video! I am just wondering how did you pair the lumix with the lens? I have s5ii and looking to buy the 45mm with 1.5x ef adapter and then pair it with DZOFILM ef to l adapter. Do tou have any recommendations? (I have other ef lenses so that why i am considering the ef to l and not pl to l adapter)

[@northparkfilms3045]

Got really tired of hearing the same 3 people speak about these lenses but dropped what was doing to hear your perspective as it felt more honest and not “Blazar sent me these to say only good things” My biggest question is shooting handheld does the anamorphic IS actually work well with the Lumix S5iix or do you get the jellow warp effect

[@cesarlorca_]

Thanks for trusting me man! These lenses are definitely good for the price with the “quirks” I spoke about in the vid! I did end up getting some jellow warp on some shots and I noticed it the most when I was pulling focus by hand vs using a focus wheel. It might be from the rotation I was creating with my hand. If you take a look at some shots in my previous video and look at the edges of some shots you can see it a little. I ended up turning off the anamorphic IS at a point because I was afraid of it carrying over. I’m gonna be dropping a vid soon on the S5IIX and I’m going to cover that topic with some tests!

[@DanielBlancoAMC]

Great video

[@cesarlorca_]

Thanks!

[@darylswalker]

Oh my dude I need this :O ... do you find 45mm is wide enough? I'm a 35mm full frame kinda guy so I know the left and right will be 33mm? but just scared the 45mm top and bottom is too tight haha

[@cesarlorca_]

I shoot 90% of the time on 35mm full frame too bro so I think you’ll love the 45! It’s definitely a different shooting experience though since you get a wider fov. It almost feels like you’re shooting on a 30mm or 35mm when it comes to the width of the frame but not the height. It’s tough to explain but I’m planning on getting the 33 to make sure I have a wider focal length as well!

[@darylswalker]

Thanks bro! Imma definitely gunna order one. Much NEEDED. What PL mount are you using?

[@cesarlorca_]

I use the nisi pl Mount!

[@McarthurBeard]

I’m color blind so it’s funny when people talk about chromatic aberration because my eyes can’t see it most of the time

[@NinaJerry]

Thoughts on the CATOs?

[@cesarlorca_]

Honestly haven’t looked into them much to have any input. I’ll definitely check them out and try to rent some out in the future to see what’s up!

[@GhettoFabulousFILMS]

😩BRO 900USD IN SOUTH AFRICA IS CRAZY MONEY

[@cesarlorca_]

I hear you bro. Hopefully I can partner with brands in the future to do some giveaways in some capacity to get cool stuff like this in other filmmakers hands

[@MightyMigi]

Since it’s so cheap can you get me one 😂😂

[@cesarlorca_]

Dude the closest lens that has similar characteristics to this one are the atlas mercuries and ONE of those runs for around $8,000 So $900 bucks vs $8,000 is definitely cheap in comparison…

[@Samiam-mu5ln]

If he thinks a roughly $1000 USD lens is "Cheap" then you sir are extremely disconnected with your audience. Don't assume everyone has the same budget as you do 👎👎

[@cesarlorca_]

Hey, do me a favor and take the time you took to write these comments and find me a anamorphic lens that is cheaper than this one. Ill be waiting!

[@menalv]

you should remove the "CHEAP" out of your describtion

[@jhornett]

Cheap relative to the expensive anamorphic lenses that used to be the only option but not cheap relative to picking up a vintage lens.

[@cesarlorca_]

👆This is a perfect reply. Anamorphic’s are far far far from cheap and being able to get one at sub $1,000 dollars and a set of 3 under $3000 with these attributes is crazy. So yeah cheap relative to expensive anamorphic glass but not cheap relative to vintage glass. I used the canon FD for examples on the qualities I enjoy not the price 🙏

[@robertrubin8976]

​@@cesarlorca_ Which Canon FD lenses exactly? Do you have some video samples, or are you planing to do some episode with them?

[@tuzuharurakutu]

Do your research before writing. Look for a 2x Full Frame Anamorphic lens for less than 10k USD and write again

[@avrahampatino2580]

It is cheap though lol.

[@Samiam-mu5ln]

Another copy/paste YTubers with such a bland review. You guys just copy off one anothers homework huh?

[@cesarlorca_]
