FULL FRAME ANAMORPHIC! | SIRUI 50mm T2.9 1.6x Lens Review

[@savnac]

I love how “not seriously” the vibe on this video is. Feels like you’re all being more “yourself”. Fun to watch :)

[@robertreinhardt4924]

Really like this more relaxed format with guests! Don't get me wrong, the 30 minute long technical deep-dives are great too. Good stuff!

[@TMD_Produktion]

The Lumix S1H actually records 3:2. If you shoot with 1.6 squeeze factor, you will get an aspect ratio of 2.4:1, which looks dope af ^^

[@geraldundone]

Yeah, match made in heaven with this lens.

[@latuba2478]

And not the a7s 3? I see 3:2 every time I shoot stills wonder if that ratio has anything to do

[@FilmMavericks]

@@latuba2478 Sony won’t do that for video.

[@AL3XFPV]

Thinking about buying S1h in 2023 since I got the Anamorphic cravings =P

[@Miguel_2.O]

Gerald, love that you are trying new things! Whatever you come up with, I'll be watching.

[@impatrickt]

I hope I get to collab with Peter Tomato one day. haha. great video! thanks for having me.

[@zebrazone]

So good to see you make a video with Devinsupertramp !

[@OriginaldoBo]

Lmao 🤣

[@sammymorales6838]

I love that Gerald is trying new things, but the reason I love him is that he is so surgical about accurate information, He is the most percised youtuber, and this format is just like every youtuber. Follow your heart, but hope you keep doing what you used to do about gear. I feel like Gerald takes us to school

[@I_am_Jordan_K]

That's how I felt too. Like...I enjoy watching Gerald's videos precisely because they're NOT this. I don't want to watch people hanging out and chatting about a lens, I want a thorough analysis. That being said, he's just getting started on his journey to re-discover himself as a KZbinr, and I'm sure he'll settle on something great.

[@ChevaughnHibbert]

Lol until he thought z mount was for z cam

[@SqueakingSquid]

He and Curtis. No flair or fluff, just reliable information. We don't need more opinions really.

[@rachidfinge8601]

I can see you're having more fun already. Way to go, Gerald, keep it up!

[@mribi]

I prefer your highly nerdy deep dives but I’m so happy to see you having more fun on camera and doing what you want to do ❤️🔥

[@reecegrocott9620]

I really love the more casual approach to this video, it really feels like you you are having more fun with the production of the video and the gear, however, I do wish there was a way to incorporate your 'experiments' into the video. The reason I was drawn to your channel was because of that extra layer of detail you brought to the conversation. Your video on 4/3 sensors really stands out to me for that reason. I was thinking about how you could manage this and still retain that fun, casual tone to your videos, and a thought I had would be that instead of you talking to the camera and relaying your findings afterwards, you take the audience through the experiments and as you are testing things we get to see it happen in the moment, and then you can give your opinions off the cuff as you get the new information. I dunno food for thought, bottom line I will continue to support you because you are one of the few KZbinrs I really enjoy watching. I hope you are doing well.

[@johnnyfitzlive]

Look, if you're going to change your format like this, then go right ahead because this was a great video and we're all excited for any new Gerald Undone content in any style you choose.

[@babourzainullah]

"You are the first thing I am trying" lmaooooo Love that part!

[@ForestCinema]

Just a heads up (from an anamorphic nut job) SmallHD monitors can desqueeze anamorphic anywhere from 1.00X to 3.00X on a sliding scale with an accuracy of 0.01. They’re a must-have for shooting with anamorphics and can handle whatever you throw at them. I film regularly with my vintage 1.75X Kowa on S1H Open Gate 6K, and I’m able to desqueeze and have 2.40:1 frame guides no problem.

[@brettpatching]

Great experiment! I liked the Unnecessary B-Roll Montage :) I really appreciated the sample footage - it gave a good impression of how the lens would make a film look. I also really liked Patrick's Stabilization Notes afterwards - sharing insights in his own studio space after he edited. I love the "discussion" format; same with your Not a Podcasts with Josh. Can't wait to see what you make next.

[@HannsSchmelzer]

I am digging the new format so so much! I hope you are having fun doing this videos.

[@09williamsa]

Love to see you exploring new formats man! Do what makes you happy and gets you excited; no matter what that is we’ll be right here with you!

[@Linealo]

Loved this video style. Felt way more casual and less condensed / stressed out. Surely not one that fits every format, but I could see this "easy" handling be something that could nix up the overall content in a nice way.

[@aristothethrone9032]

I enjoyed the banter just as much as the review. I like when the camera guy gets love too.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

The shock on Gerald’s face.. Z mount. They actually made something for Nikon 😂

[@MikeLindup42]

Great to see you sharing with your peers, in your studio, Gerald - especially after all the lockdowns and enforced isolation - and i love the informal yet informed approach to reviewing this lens. I don't know if I'd ever dabble in anamorphic, but Sirui seems to be making good stuff for those of us who are aspirational.

[@JavierMercedes]

Great vid as usual, love the format!

[@cian.horgan]

I think the lack of flares from reflections is likely related to the variable ND filters as well; they're made of two polarisers stacked on top of each other at varying angles so there's a good chance of at least one of them cancelling out any given reflection. Reflections are highly polarised and easily blocked (deliberately or accidentally) with a polarising filter

[@jonoribeiro7668]

That format was top notch! While I do feel engaged by your other videos (depending on the subject), this one pulled me in straight away because of how much fun you guys seemed to have reviewing the lens!

[@AmritaBhortake]

Gerald, I love this format. Felt like I was listening to my peers talk about gear and I was really into it. Nice work 🙌🏼

[@RoryKnighton]

Love, love, love this format. So much more dynamic, free flowing fresh and natural. More of this please.

[@abvhooliganz6295]

Thumbs up for trying new things (not that the old things were bad - been subbed for years) but “you’re the first thing I’m trying” was funny as hell 😅👍🏾

[@vividcolourfilms1276]

Love the new format Gerald, fresh and personal. You definitely took it to the next level.

[@SuperLala33]

Sirui said they will adjust the coatings so it will flare less (or at least reduce the secondary flares). I think they are makiung a good choice after watching some of the reviews online. Seems like this lens really delivers on all the fronts that matter, great time for anamorphic shooters :)

[@LeeZavitz]

"It's actually kindda fishy, not gonna lie" lol

[@GregTardif]

You did great with the red zone shooting

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Thanks for the shoutout and effort to get my name right! I'm inspired by your new experiments and format. :)

[@AlexGTech]

Love the new angles and relaxed feel Gerald

[@arranpbrown]

Really enjoyed this, Gerald - looked like you enjoyed making it, which is great to see! 🙌

[@tombuck]

This CGI is impressive- it seems like the real Patrick!

[@impatrickt]

deep fake's are crazy now

[@RizaMarhaban]

Great format. Now this feels like café style talk, fun and easy to follow. And I love the anamorphic shots.

[@kimball_stone]

Love this conversational format. Really entertaining.

[@NathanJEllerton]

Happy you're trying out new formats my man and also wild to see Patrick on your channel lmao

[@MurdockCakeLie]

So cool to see you trying a different, more casual format. Keep at it!

[@parkerberryhilll]

I’m into this new collaborative and fun style. You seem happier about it too which is awesome.

[@ANZBank2]

I love this style of this video! Keep it Gerald!

[@BrendanEvan]

Love me a good KZbin collab. Feels like hanging out with the boys. I don’t even own a Sony camera but I’m watching til the end.

[@AdventuresInVideo]

Gerald, I love the new more casual approach. It takes guts to work like that. Excellent format, and Patrick and Lee were great guests to bring in. This was great all around.

[@adsertheblade]

Thanks for the great video. Is this the production model, or the early prototype? They mentioned the flares would get toned down for the production model

[@lilafromyoutube]

Great video format! 🔥

[@erwickdsouza]

Love this new way of going about your review. Cheers Gerald!

[@chillcopyrightfreemusic]

Between Gerald Undone & Anamorphic on a Budget I have all I need to know. Where is your donate button?

[@Emiliotakas]

I will agree with my friend Aaron, it is really great to see familiar faces. Great video, out of the ordinary. I enjoyed it very much! Good job guys. (Question it is z or zent?)

[@JaredSpink]

Such a great video! Loved it. Super fun to watch.

[@FlashUltra_]

I love this laid back approach. So chill. Easy to digest. Keep killin it Gerald

[@DrWasim]

Loving the new format! Keep it up man!

[@arkadiuszsendrowski5735]

Gerald out of his element "his studio" I like it. Gerald is out in the wild

[@kenneth6102]

The video structural format feels very familiar, the style feels fresh. Best of both worlds.

[@muditahlawat]

Nice to see you smiling for the most part of the video! 😄

[@butterflyvision3084]

I missed a focus pull test in the test images, you discussed the possibility that pulling focus would affect the squeeze but was that answered?

[@Circusofvalue]

I liked the format. Seems more cas but everybody also seemed to be having more fun and I still learned a lot about the lense. Gerald you're a legend, just make the content that you enjoy making and people will watch. I'll be looking at picking this lens up once I switch up to full frame!

[@YannickFilms]

FINALLY a full frame version of this amazing lens!🥰💯

[@DigitalDre]

does active stabilization in post work with anamorphic?

[@JayFingers]

“1s and 2s” comes from hip-hop. It’s a reference to turntables. DJs would often say they were spinning on the “1s and 2s.” 😆

[@BobWilcox]

Loving the new style Gerald! 😄 Can’t wait to see more like this! This video and the test footage kind of just sold me on this lens… 😅

[@luanrosa3022]

Loving the new format!

[@EposVox]

lol that smell test. RIP patrick's nose

[@SneakyMawwfaka]

Finally he dares to try something new! Loved it, Gerald. Definitely don't lose the old style, but the new stuff is welcome Loved reading the chapters more tho.

[@curtisjudd]

Well, that was fun. Thanks fellas!

[@geraldundone]

Appreciate ya, Curtis!

[@impatrickt]

thanks, Curtis!

[@MichaelGreenwoodMG]

I like this collaboration video style and the stuff you've been doing with Josh. Keep up the good work man. You're one of the best at what you do on KZbin!

[@dannytranlx]

That was great, loved the guests!

[@GroovyTakeON]

All of you in one video 🤓 Patrick showing the gear to the non-existing overhead camera 👍👏👏

[@TopherMartini]

Thoroughly enjoyed the change of format to see two distinguished creatives bring their unique perspectives to this review!

[@touchtennis]

Brilliant as always. And glad you’re trying new stuff to keep this exciting for you.

[@LokeyTavs]

Loving the format and authenticity -- Thouretaly enjoyed this one, Gerald. ✌🏼

[@versa_media]

Since the meet and greet, I thought you were more fun like this, so if this is the new direction then I’m all for it

[@meiermiri]

I have to say, I love this format a lot. Liked this video, even though I’m not looking for a lens like this.

[@bennyboytaylor1]

I love that you're trying new things man.. and the more casual style is great - but it'd be really cool to still see/ hear more in-depth commentary on the products. I'll always be a fan, but there are so many casual/ fun channels already, it's nice when someone like you cuts through the BS and just gives the facts. That's what I love you for G.

[@barryobrien1890]

This lens is really made for panasonic as it allows for full sensor shooting of video. Would you suggest working with this on Sony, or sticking with the 1.33 apsc lenses. Seems like it's overkill, for the little dof gain.

[@thebunn]

Really stoked on seeing you cats working together. Lens is exciting too!

[@ryanscottmurphy86]

Dang, that sponsor segment was pretty cool! I didn't even want something like that and it made it seem cool. Love to see you experimenting with new things and making this all more fun for yourself! I personally think the fun will translate into some next level Gerald!

[@Curtis-Randall]

Loving the new direction. Get weird and do what makes you happy!! Have a wonderful day!!

[@tonimadicoclar5823]

Hi Gerald, got a doubt. Every time that apeers that double flare you r using the variable nd filters? I d'ont know if its the lense it selve that produce that or the nd. Looks like is the reflection in the nd. Maybe with an internal nd you can shoot at dayligth at maximum aperture without this second flare, of course shooting with an fx9 for exemple, or with a non variable nd filter in a mate box cause is far frome lens... i don't know. Thanx a lot for your job.

[@muziqfreek]

"on the 1's and 2's" refers to a DJ spinning records (yes actual vinyl) on 2 Technics 1210's

[@danielschmaderer]

Love the new form factor of the video. Either way is great to me personally. This one seems to show what I would assume is your personality more (I obviously don’t know you personally, so I can only speculate). Whatever makes you happy. Either way, I’ll always tune in because I really like your content. I know I’m not the only one.

[@BootStrapTurnerVideography]

Fast forward a few years, recently picked up this lens for my Panasonic Lumix S5II and use 6K Open Gate 3:2 for the perfect framing. Love the lens and appreciate the review.

[@chefsalty]

love this format. super comfortable on screen. kinda miss the super detailed stuff, but i can do without.

[@WhiskeyBrothersRecords]

Fireee! This was refreshing. I dont actually know what an anamorphic lens does so imma digest this info. Thanks my dude!

[@kronk358]

I wonder how the lens flares are going to work with a diffusion filter. If you really want a cinematic look, I think both would be preferable.

[@imaaronross]

Loved the casual nature of the video! It’s good to see people willing to try new things and switch it up when they need to. Looking forward to more!

[@KenFrancisFilms]

Might be a long shot but… on the Sony, can I switch to photo mode, use the 3:2 aspect ratio, and record externally on the Ninja V to get the 2:4:1 aspect ratio after de-squeezing?

[@WillCarterTech]

This is great! Love this new format. I hope you can implement more of your creativity into your channel

[@BalancedLugger]

Love the new style and form. Great job.

[@alisinclair8529]

I'm loving this pivot in content formats. I feel you could mix formats for videos really well like Linus does, this mix of scripted/non scripted

[@jeromenansel1806]

What is the screen you added to the camera? I like this and would like to buy this.

[@panzerschreckpete]

Love this type of format, very relaxed and natural.

[@jayclas4023]

The S5 has opengate 3.2 right? Or what about the anamorphic more on the S5?

[@showdaKOs]

And I almost didn't look that video right away (cuz I already watch the sony lens one) but glad I did cuz it is refreshing to see you improvise a bit and interact with people like that !

[@tricamel]

Like the format and collab... thanks Gerald.

[@ElusiveFrame]

Only Gerald can make a collab look like he was interviewing Patrick by letting him do the work. 🤣 Awesome collab! Had fun watching this. 😎

[@thefrenchs1492]

you look genuinely happy dude

[@Zarar5]

Love the new take Gerald.

[@watchmakerfs]

This format is the best!

[@andreasreif9354]

Dude, love the experimentation. This was fun! Keep up the good work!

[@Fprato2011]

is it possible to use this lens (e-mount) on a Black magic pocket 4k? What would happen if you used an adapter from E-mount lens to Nikon F-mount first, and then from nikon to black magic?

[@mcgreevs24]

I loved the video, Gerald. The playful format and fun you’re having is the best. I’m prepared to go thumbs down nuclear on anyone who disagrees.

[@julianschneider.berlin]

Nice Work Gerald!!! I like the old format very much and this one is great as well. Anything works as long as you enjoy it while shooting it 👍
