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

[@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!

[@savnac]

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

[@Miguel_2.O]

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

[@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

[@babourzainullah]

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

[@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 ❤️🔥

[@impatrickt]

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

[@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.

[@rachidfinge8601]

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

[@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.

[@zebrazone]

So good to see you make a video with Devinsupertramp !

[@OriginaldoBo]

Lmao 🤣

[@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.

[@HannsSchmelzer]

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

[@chrisbrockhurst]

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

[@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.

[@aristothethrone9032]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@LeeZavitz]

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

[@GregTardif]

You did great with the red zone shooting

[@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 🙌🏼

[@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!

[@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 😅👍🏾

[@arranpbrown]

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

[@vividcolourfilms1276]

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

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

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

[@JavierMercedes]

Great vid as usual, love the format!

[@kimball_stone]

Love this conversational format. Really entertaining.

[@RoryKnighton]

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

[@chillcopyrightfreemusic]

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

[@RizaMarhaban]

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

[@EposVox]

lol that smell test. RIP patrick's nose

[@NathanJEllerton]

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

[@AlexGTech]

Love the new angles and relaxed feel Gerald

[@MurdockCakeLie]

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

[@tombuck]

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

[@impatrickt]

deep fake's are crazy now

[@ANZBank2]

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

[@muditahlawat]

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

[@GroovyTakeON]

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

[@FlashUltra_]

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

[@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… 😅

[@DrWasim]

Loving the new format! Keep it up man!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@luanrosa3022]

Loving the new format!

[@erwickdsouza]

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

[@RealJamesArcher]

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.

[@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.” 😆

[@arkadiuszsendrowski5735]

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

[@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

[@JaredSpink]

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

[@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 :)

[@CrisConstantin]

You guys look like a bunch of scientists playing with an orange🤣😂. I love the video!!! Pat is awesome, Lee is brutal and Gerald is like a cornered kitten😁. Do it again, guys, love you all. 👍

[@CrisConstantin]

And here is one for next video: “…and Sirui is Sirui not Siroy, or Shiraz” Voice that, Gerald🤣

[@kenneth6102]

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

[@KasaTavs]

Loving the format and authenticity -- Thouretaly enjoyed this one, 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. 😎

[@dannytranlx]

That was great, loved the guests!

[@YannickFilms]

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

[@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!

[@curtisjudd]

Well, that was fun. Thanks fellas!

[@geraldundone]

Appreciate ya, Curtis!

[@impatrickt]

thanks, Curtis!

[@tricamel]

Like the format and collab... thanks Gerald.

[@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 !

[@lilafromyoutube]

Great video format! 🔥

[@TopherMartini]

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

[@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!

[@WhiskeyBrothersRecords]

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

[@touchtennis]

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

[@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.

[@parkerberryhilll]

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

[@rafalkruk_]

"I'm Gerald Undone and you are the first thing I'm trying, lets get undone" :D

[@thebunn]

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

[@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.

[@andreasreif9354]

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

[@thefrenchs1492]

you look genuinely happy dude

[@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

[@Zarar5]

Love the new take Gerald.

[@Pan-Musician]

Love the new format!

[@faba6753]

Digging this new format Gerald

[@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!

[@flavorhostage]

I'd rather watch you have fun with your friends like this than be bummed out about working. I hope you're feeling better!

[@chefsalty]

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

[@photojoseph]

Now that's what a collab is supposed to be 😂

[@jamesmathews243]

Love the format. Keep having fun.

[@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

[@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.

[@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?)

[@panzerschreckpete]

Love this type of format, very relaxed and natural.

[@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.

[@Gpijus]

Would love these anamorphic videos to continue along the way :) Next on a budget line - GREAT JOY 1.8x Anamorphic Set

[@watchmakerfs]

This format is the best!

[@RuXsel]

Saw ur last video...this kind of review is more engaging and real. Few edits and straight to the point.

[@agenericaccount3935]

Cracking open an anamorphic with the boys.

[@chriscrouse3918]

cinematic b roll in a Gerald video? very nice.

[@Curtis-Randall]

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

[@WatermanSurin]

love your videos man. Nice to see some other people on the show.

[@content4pros862]

I like this format. It adds personality.

[@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 👍

[@BalancedLugger]

Love the new style and form. Great job.
