In this video I test out the brand new Blazar 85mm T2.8 1.5X anamorphic lens. To test the lens I made science fiction thriller short film called TOTALITY, that takes place during the April 8th Eclipse in 2024.

[@v3blaxican]

Side note, as for cleaner anamorphics, I actually use the Surui 35mm Saturn lens for photography now that I use the Blazar's for video

[@ScottJeschke]

@@v3blaxican smart. I had the Sirui 50mm and it was too clean for me, so that makes a lot of sense

[@davidsfilmmaking]

Duude this is sick! The short film had me on the edge🙌

[@ScottJeschke]

Thanks as always, brother. Appreciate you

[@alzibaba]

Awesome job! It's fantastic to see Blazar are continuing to add focal lengths to the Remus line. With the 33 being developed plus now this 85mm, it's like Christmas came early ;-)

[@ScottJeschke]

Thanks so much! Agreed. Excited about these lenses

[@KodyNewton]

Thanks for the review! Lens feels closer to the 100mm in the set than the 65mm. The 65mm is still my fav but I'll love having this one in my arsenal.

[@ScottJeschke]

Thanks, Kody! Yeah, it's a pretty tight lens for sure. Hoping to get my hands on all of them at some point. Bank account allowing haha

[@matt.gillispie]

Man this was great! Looking forward to seeing more like it. Awesome job Scott.

[@ScottJeschke]

@@matt.gillispie thanks so much, brother 🙏 always appreciate the kind feedback

[@jondoeslifestuff]

Dude love the image, can't wait for mine to come in. Just a headsup, every b roll shot has a high ringing noise.

[@ScottJeschke]

@@jondoeslifestuff thanks so much, you're gonna love it! Uh oh... Hmm, not hearing it on my end, and most of the clips are muted in my timeline. I did notice one of them. You can hear me mouth breathing LOL. Good ears. Thanks for the heads up! Was a quick turn o. This one 😬😔

[@Flashbagfolly]

An hour or so ago out of nowhere I thought to myself I wonder if Scott posted anything. Great video. By the way, your overly serious close-up flashlight game is on pint. You should consider being the detective who comes out to see about the aliens.

[@ScottJeschke]

Wow, that's incredible! What timing. And thanks haha. Hard to restrain myself when I have a flashlight and anamorphic lens lol

[@baxslatton]

Loved the Sci-fi short! I’m really digging all of these prosumer focused cine lenses we have out now. If only my wallet felt the same way😬

[@ScottJeschke]

@@baxslatton thanks so much, man! Haha yeah , I agree. I only make 1-2 big / expensive gear purchases a year so lenses are always so hard to justify... But these blazar ones are so hard to pass up 🤤😅

[@KyleCorwith]

Nicely done, man!

[@ScottJeschke]

@@KyleCorwith thanks, brother 🙏

[@zgriffin22]

Making a short to review a piece of equipment is s tier. So much fun.

[@ScottJeschke]

@@zgriffin22 haha thank you, brother 🙏👊

[@ScottJeschke]

Gotta keep those wheels spinning any way I can

[@andrewlutes2048]

Admiring your shadow exposure in that bedroom scene.

[@ScottJeschke]

@@andrewlutes2048 thanks, Andrew 🙏

[@EdProsser]

Absolutely stunning work Scott - the editing, sound design and obviously the visuals! Super tight - it all gels. Also - the more I see of these lenses in capable hands the more I desire them!

[@ScottJeschke]

@@EdProsser ah, man. Thank you so much, Ed. This means a lot to me coming from you. 🙏. You are going to love these lenses. I'm still blown away that we're spoiled enough in 2024 to have lenses like this for under 1k. It's absolutely wild

[@welchworks]

Also out of this world: That COLOR GRADE! ✨👀

[@ScottJeschke]

@@welchworks thank you so much! It's a film emulation that I made from scratch, and will be making publicly available soon. It does pretty much all the heavy lifting with very little grade

[@bertcano]

Super cool dude!

[@ScottJeschke]

@@bertcano thank you my friend 🙏🙏

[@DrewWhite-nb9gx]

Your mind works differently

[@ScottJeschke]

@@DrewWhite-nb9gx haha I accept

[@SumonBose]

Bro! Love it

[@ScottJeschke]

Thanks brother! Good seeing you here

[@v3blaxican]

I pre ordered the original set when they were announced, and I may pick up this new 85mm eventually, but I am more excited for when the 33mm comes out. The 45mm is amazing, but I also have the Sirui Saturn 35mm, and the Remus 33mm would give about the same field of view (around 22mm) with it's 1.5x squeeze vs the 1.6x of the Sirui, while also going down to T1.6. I can wait for the 85mm since I have the 65mm and 100mm, plus for video, I rarely go tighter than a 50-55mm field of view equivalent, unless for specific shots, which the Remus 85mm is right at the edge of that. But, as always, amazing video!

[@ScottJeschke]

@@v3blaxican totally! I'm typically a wider range guy too. I do like long lenses but they kind of require a bigger canvas/ more space. I've had the 45 backordered for ages. It's killing me.

[@JeremyBotz]

Love it! I got the Remus set last month, and took it to Seattle with me on a business trip. Manual Focus RnG is a B*$ lol. But I love the set. Thanks for sharing the art of the possible. Can't wait to see the BTS video, so I can steal like an artist. 🤣

[@ScottJeschke]

Thanks so much, Jeremy 🙏

[@schoeferfilm]

Really a good idea to review something with a short movie 👏 we made a short movie with anamorphic lenses too 😅 coming soon 🎥 best cinematic greetings from germany

[@ScottJeschke]

@@schoeferfilm thanks so much! And Likewise :)

[@MarkForrer]

Which spherical lens did you use? That stuff looks lovely!

[@ScottJeschke]

Thanks, Mark! A cheap Canon 70-300 for the eclipse, a viltrox 16mm f1.8 for the shot of the saucer, and a Rokinon af 35mm F1.8 for the other "IMAX" shots.

[@ScottJeschke]

Oh and also a viltrox 50mm f1.8 for the closeup push in shot on my face during the saucer storm

[@HeyQuinton]

Awesome video my man - just FYI - your HLG lut link is broken - just in case people are trying to buy it

[@ScottJeschke]

Oh shoot, thanks for the heads up! Just fixed it. And thanks for the kind feedback

[@NoSuRReNDeR001]

I have 100mm in PL - blue flare and Red Gemini or R5 8k -- Love it - STOP it down duh... but its great at t4

[@ScottJeschke]

@@NoSuRReNDeR001 yeah, dude. Can't wait to get my hands on some of the blue flare models. My 45mm has been backordered since May 13

[@RyanBartonGrimley]

This was RAD!

[@ScottJeschke]

@@RyanBartonGrimley thank you so much, man 🙏🙏🙏

[@RyanBartonGrimley]

@@ScottJeschke Of course! Was this the blue flair version?

[@ScottJeschke]

@@RyanBartonGrimley no. Silver! Wish it was the blue flare one

[@iamfraserk]

Awesome 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@ScottJeschke]

@@iamfraserk thank you so much 🙏🙏👊

[@manners316]

Fantastic review - great work and some great shots too. Getting a sub from me.

[@ScottJeschke]

Thank you! Welcome to the channel

[@joedaddy415]

you got probed!

[@ScottJeschke]

👀🙈😅

[@TexpatOTG]

Where is all this anamorphic content being shown? Maybe I am missing out on something.

[@ScottJeschke]

@@TexpatOTG what do you mean? In this video or in general?

[@TexpatOTG]

@@ScottJeschke In general, what is the footage being used for? It appears quite expensive to setup for it. I haven't ever seen anamorphic content except at a theatre. Why so much interest among KZbinrs whose content is mostly watched on a smartphone?

[@ScottJeschke]

@@TexpatOTG it's used a ton in commercials these days, and narrative projects. For general creator content less so, but I'd say it's on the rise with more affordable options. A lot of people use them for "cinematic" travel videos now too

[@TexpatOTG]

@@ScottJeschke Thanks! Was really curious about it. Looks as if cost of entry was probably a big factor in creating more interest. Good show!

[@ScottJeschke]

@@TexpatOTG yep. Absolutely. 5 years ago, the cheapest anamorphic was probably about $6,000. It's crazy how far they've come down in price. And you are so welcome! Thanks for watching :)

[@mheyman]

Heyy im the second viewer! Excited to watch this video!

[@ScottJeschke]

Excited for you to see it!
