Get an Anamorphic Lens That Works For You - Anamorphic 101

[@BearParis]

Great informative video!!! Lots of help!!!

[@CoscarelliFan]

Love the direction of these new videos. You always present things so clearly and concise. Laughed at the bit showing the huge, unwieldy rig. Reminded me of the struggles I used to have.

[@timekeepermedia5142]

My issue was in in my first pursuit of anamorphic I bought a sankor 16f and double focused for a few shoots and loved it, but after seeing everyones Kowa b&h footage in the anamorphic facebook group I decided to sell it because building a rapido rig for something i'd eventually want to upgrade anyways just didn't seem worth it.. Now I just save until i can afford a kowa + rapido rig OR just take the easy route and see if i can nab a used vazen lens on ebay. Decisions -_________- In the meantime I have a sirui 35mm 1.33x and i'll have to settle for that look until i can stack some cash

[@micahmahaffey5919]

Just made my first anamorphic rig after years of dreaming. Decided to just go with the anamorphot 50 1.33x on my Lumix S1, so far it's looking amazing, and the new green coating actually looks really great on the helios 44. Focusing is also super easy with it which was a huge thing I was worried about. The size makes it very versatile too. big enough for most lenses i own, but not too big. Using it on the S1 is really nice, it has great low light so stopping the lens down for sharpness isn't a problem, fits the full frame on a 40mm lens which ends up being like a 26mm width. Really loving the set up. I actually got it because of your review :D

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Thank you for sharing your experience Micah! I'm glad you took the plunge and that you're enjoying it! :D

[@77Kopaka]

Loving these step-by-step intro guides, man! Very good stuff for someone who hasn't taken the anamorphic leap yet (me). Thanks for making them!

[@grantboehne6481]

I want you to know that these Anamorphic 101 videos are very informational, and entertaining! You are really putting in the work and it shows. You would absolutely hate my rig as I have a canon c100 with a rokinon lens and then a medium sized (in the world of isco ultra stars) adapter lol. But my style is tripod based so weight is not too big of a worry, and like you said, the quality is amazing.

[@blackstone953]

Great video as always, a lot of useful information ! Thanks for your work. Just one thing : It would be great if you exemplified what you're saying more, talking about specific lenses and rigging solutions (like you did with the bigger bulkier lenses in the beginning of the video). I also noticed that you got the S5 ! How are you liking it? Do you only use the dedicated mode when you shoot anamorphic ? Thanks again !

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Thank you! I'm saving some of that for the actual Cookbook! I'm loving the S5. If I didn't have MFT anamorphics (Vazen and Sirui), I'd be close to retiring the GH5.

[@FULLofJOHN]

Thanks! Im personally using the anamorphot compact 40 with the voigtlander 28mm and 40mm SLIIs with surprising results. I'm only missing the oval bokeh. Considering doing a mod haha., Also thristing after the aivascope 1.5

[@jesseyules]

Tito has tried every DIY solution (so that we don't have to). Thank you for your sacrifice brother!

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Hahahaha, kind of the point of this whole thing! Thank you! XD

[@alexemm]

I've just started my anamorphic journey and really appreciate the amount of effort you have put into creating the amazing library of tips and reviews for us to access on your channel here! The 'cookbook' sounds interesting indeed. For an old Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (HD) what would you recommend to look out for as a first anamorphic lens on a budget, without buying the cheapest bottom of the line lens available? Are the SLR Magic anamorph's any good for the M43 mount cameras? Thanks in advance for any insights offered.

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

I'd steer clear of the SLR Magic primes, but look into Sirui!

[@alexemm]

@@AnamorphicOnABudget thank you so much, looking forward to the updates for the cookbook, I might finally get to learn how to make a good caipirinha!

[@vivendofotografia1854]

Sou fã do seu trampo mano,vc poderia fazer em português tbm a galera do Brasil curti muito anamórfico.

[@LJLeeTV]

what lens did you use for the gh5 shots? 01:00

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Those aren't my shots, but @Ichidomo 's. He's famous for not sharing the lens combination used. :)

[@LJLeeTV]

@@AnamorphicOnABudget aha smart

[@briandecasa5444]

Has anyone tried isco ultra star gold version on L mount? Starting my anamorphic journey with my S1H

[@charlymaldonado9811]

Thank you so much for this videos!!

[@aris5570]

Amazing!! Loved the intro ooooo!

[@Hyalinaproductions]

Hi, Tito. I would to know which one was that from 6:06 with those "imperfections" ? I'm looking for something like that. Cheers, man!

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Hey Jose! That's the Magic Portrait Filter! Look up on my past videos and you'll find it! :)

[@Hyalinaproductions]

@@AnamorphicOnABudget Valeu, Tito. I will check it.

[@hughoconor]

Sorry for what must be an obvious question, but what adaptor do I need to use the Sirui 50mm on my new Lumix S5? Thanks for all your great work :)

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

I'm figuring that out, but no answer yet!

[@hughoconor]

@@AnamorphicOnABudget Thanks so much, if you do please let me know! Beautiful work.

@@KevinKaufmann Wow - thank you so much K.K! 🙏🏼

[@trevorpinnocky]

Nice one 👍🏾

[@wilwilson8146]

I can only imagine the contents on your lens cabinet. I think I even have dreams about it.

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

There are three videos about that, I try to update it every year. :P

[@andrewhassett1640]

Thank you! Currently looking at a Kowa 16-H with a Rapido single focus system for my Ursa G2. Would you classify this as a lower end lens setup?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

That's a pretty high-end setup for a DIY rig! :)

[@andrewhassett1640]

@@AnamorphicOnABudgetis that a bad thing??

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Nope. It's a good thing. Hahaha

[@erthaldop]

Got my first anamorphic, a sankor 16c, just need to tune it to get better sharpness but that step seems so tricky >.

[@crbnell]

Same here! I had to open the lens because the front element was a little bit off

[@erthaldop]

@@crbnell i’m pretty sure mine has some problem like that, i just don’t have the tools and knowledge to fix it

[@crbnell]

@@erthaldop I didn't either, I had zero experience opening lenses at that time, but I managed to make it work😅 So if you need any help, hit me up🤙🏼

[@animusvisual]

Hey tito! My kowa 8z tends to tilt a but when focusing and haven't shot using it because id like to clamp it down. Any suggestions for one that fits or a custom one?

[@AnamorphicOnABudget]

Check out Rapido Technology! I think it's the best option out there right now.

[@MoritzHolzinger]

great man
