Introducing T-Series Anamorphic Lenses

[@moment]

Check us out on ShopMoment.com/T-Series!

[@SeanCC]

@3:11 y'all state that the 1.33x lens gives the user "that classic 1.85:1 aspect ratio" further stating that this is the aspect ratio that most movies use. There's two incorrect statements in there. As a current owner of an M-Series 1.33x lens I know that at least the Moment devs know better but maybe get a quick ADR session together and re-up a fix. The 1.33x lens achieves a ~2.36:1 aspect ratio which is close to the theatrical standard of 2.39:1 or rounded up to 2.40:1 as movie theaters haven't actually shown 2.35:1 for a long time. Meanwhile, the 1.55x lens achieves a final aspect ratio of ~2.76:1 which is the same aspect ratio of Ultra-Panavision 70, the short-lived anamorphic 65mm process that was revived for The Hateful Eight.

[@JamesCMcKinnon]

I'm glad to see a new lens come out, sadly I can't trust your videos anymore. You guys made videos with iPhone 14 pro and m-series lens showing compatibility. In reality, your lens produced poor image quality with fringing and heavy vignetting. Now I have to wait and see what the other creators say about this product. You guys should apologize for falsely adverting the product, and deceiving the customer.

[@LLGamingCards]

That's specifically why they made the T-Series that has a wider aperture. The M-Series was built for it's smaller camera lenses so that's why they needed to update it as phone cameras have gotten bigger and bigger

[@JamesCMcKinnon]

I know. The problem is they marketed their old m-series lens as if it was fully compatable before they released the new t-series lens. You should watch their coment section on their video of iPhone 14 Pro w/ m-series lens. It is filled with compleints of vignetting or lens not being compatable. Why did they not tell the truth about the lens being not compatable with the smaller apature? They definetly knew what they were doing, and hoped the customer to purchace an obsolete product. Shame on Moment and their marketing team.@@LLGamingCards

[@cuve_ae]

@@LLGamingCardsyup, wish they had made a statement on this. These updated lenses seem to remedy the issues of the M series.

[@LLGamingCards]

@@cuve_ae they do talk about it a lot on the videos actually and it's all over their official website with all the details

[@LLGamingCards]

they talk about why the T-Series was made to remedy the bigger lens on cameras now and how the M-Series is pre 2023 phones for and T-Series is post 2023 for phones that have a bigger senser

[@sriabhi]

3:15 so much edge blur why ?

[@numberl6]

i'd like to see a comparison between the M-Series and the T-Series variants of the lenses to see the claimed improvements :)

[@SeanCC]

Yes, bigger rear aperture is great for newer or larger phones/drones, but if you're going to claim improvements there needs to be charts and exposure comparisons.

[@RemmyMusic1]

why did the 1.33 look much less sharp than the 1.55? was that just bad focus or is there some sort of hardware limitation?

[@TheCyberSpidey]

Yeah 1.33 looked really soft in an unpleasant way. Same with barrel distortion on both, much worse on 1.33.

[@SeanCC]

There's a couple possible reasons for this. The first one, and more likely, is that he was using a phone or lens on a phone that is reaching the limits of what's advisable with this attachment. It's either physically larger or a wider focal length than is optimal. In those cases you'll see softness as well as possibly greater chromatic aberration and even vignetting. Or he could have a bad lens. That's likely not the case, but you never know what their QC is like (it wasn't too good on this video) based on where they're likely sourcing the work to keep costs down. I've got an M-Series and on my older iPhone I DO NOT get near this much softness and distortion at the edges with my 1.33x. But it's got a smaller lens. The problem with their videos is there's zero data or good info. It's not enough to say something was shot on the 1.33x or 1.55x, and I could care less about their IG handle. What they should have is what specific phone/device was used, what specific lens was used (if it's a multi-lens camera) and what app was used. One can assume it would all be their app, but Filmic Pro on the iPhone supports these lenses as well and some users may prefer its controls over the Moment app.

[@SeanCC]

@@TheCyberSpidey barrel distortion is one of the nice things you get with these adapters, but in this case (as well as the softness), if you look at the footage after about 3:12 he looks to be using it on a too-wide of a lens. The 1.55x footage afterwards has a much smaller area of softness near the edges and that's about like what I get with my M-series 1.33x and my phone, which has a smaller lens that's not as wide. Some edge softness is expected. Cinema anamorphic lenses, from Panavision and others, are quite often soft at the edges and some series of classic anamorphics (ie. JDC Xtal Xpress) don't even match as a set, in terms of focus and color characteristics. Anamorphics are generally selected for their "personality" and the more often than not random optical things that can happen.

[@anshubhatia6609]

Are these two anamorphic lenses compatible with the autofocus of the iPhone? No mention of it in the video, which is why I’m asking before ordering.

[@moment]

Yep! Auto focus on the iPhones with our Anamorphic lenses look great and work perfectly when using the Moment Pro Camera App!

[@Tarab49d]

Thank you for actually showing us the footage you shot with these lenses!!

[@DrOnkarNipane]

When are we having S23 Ultra Lens Mount?

[@ShibaSoftware]

Cool. Can these be paired with Variable ND filters + SmallRig Cage + Osmo Mobile 6 ?

[@zacalpha007]

Can I just film in normal mode on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, or do I really need to use Pro Mode for this Anamorphic Lens to work its magic?

[@DDenDeeen]

Maybe invite T-Series to make some bollywood music videos?

[@chinitopinoy1726]

Or Kpop?

[@DuongVu-fj3nx]

Can this lens rotate 90° when put on the phone case? Please reply me

[@EN-sc9yh]

If they are like the M Series, there is a grub screw that you can loosen and reorient the lens.

[@gilmourwaters]

Is this to say for example the moment anamorphic I have for my iPhone 12 Pro Max won’t work properly for an iPhone 15 ultra I plan on upgrading to?

[@ryanyeap1334]

I ordered mine last September. It is now Feb and has not arrived. Production delays. 😅

[@ProbstfeldCreative]

Would love to see an ND filter combination? Is possible! Haha. I’m a documentary film maker and recently have been going to areas that are not so favorable for my large C300 because of security risks. So, I’ve been looking to build out a phone setup, but I REALLY need NDs, and would love to see that kind of combination. This is so cool! Just ordered the iPhone 15 pro max today. Can’t wait to see what all it can do.

[@Lukewheldon7]

Do you make ND filters for this lens?

[@SuchetB]

I would have got this but the image is barrel distorted - have you got lenses that are anamorphic but without barrel distortion?

[@evdark-7638]

Great video can i use filters and filter mount with the lens ?

[@Azeltix]

Are these only working on the 28mm lens or it works on the 70mm too ? Because I want anamorphic but on the portrait lense.

[@TylerHansenVideo]

Is there an ND solution? Gotta keep that shutter locked at 1/48

[@walmartpimp2]

Thank you for informing us of these new lenses. Do you know of any iPhone underwater housing units that are compatible with these lenses? I need to shoot an underwater scene in anamorphic, and don't want to risk getting my A7S III and Sirui Saturn Anamorphic 35mm wet.

[@BranRistic]

Still waiting for Samsung S23 Ultra case, bringing new lenses kinda useless if you cant use them on new phones other then iPhone.

[@thedodif]

Don't hold your breath. Moment doesn't give a 💩 about Samsung. It's all Apple for them.

[@p0pp1973]

They don't care about loyalty. I've 3 lenses that are now useless.

[@thedodif]

@@p0pp1973 Same. And I've asked multiple times for some videos showing their lenses on newer Samsung phones...radio silence. But "hey here's another iPhone video!"

[@dRoscoAZ]

I have a Galaxy S22 Ultra, my moment lenses have been collecting dust for years. Thanks Moment... 🤦🏻

[@michaelhall859]

Yep, was an early adopter but no cases for my last 2 Samsung phones ... Dissapointing moment 👎🏼💩

[@fattyskan2]

Which one do y’all prefer? Gold or blue

[@Tarab49d]

Does the lens fit my iPhone 14 Pro by itself? If not, what do I need to get from your store to mount it to the phone?

[@moment]

You will need a way to mount it! You need to an iphone 14 Pro MagSafe phone case, a T-Series lens mount for iphone 14 pro, and then you can easily add your lens to it like we did in this video :) Case -> www.shopmoment.com/products/moment-cases-for-iphone-14-compatible-with-magsafe?variant=47464562688315 Mount -> www.shopmoment.com/products/moment-drop-in-lens-mount-for-iphone-14?variant=47464335900987

[@kevinpick1469]

I have pre-ordered these and some other accessories but thinking about cancelling as the 1.33 looks terrible 😢

[@lucagrattini7417]

it looks really bad tbh

[@nkstudioz1]

Which gimbal he is using?

[@james_t]

3:16 …is this actually the T series 1.33x - doesn’t seem as sharp (& some edge blur) as switching to 1.55x in this sample clip? Does seem to be a lot more clips of 1.55x so wondering. I’ve just preordered new T 1.33x (GF) to replace old M version as looked just like that on i14Pro - realise it has a ‘look’/M mount for smaller mobile cameras but hoping new T version will be a ‘better’.

[@TampaTomorrow]

what were your results with the T 1.33? Was considering the T 1.33 for my 14 pro max?

[@NFM_35mm]

Will it be compatible with the iPhone 15 pro? Or do I have to wait for a New compatible version?

[@gamerneversleep4200]

it will be compatible with iphone 16 pro too. design barely change in iphone

[@ketshup95]

What gimbal do you recommend shooting with on a 58mm tele lens? my dji om6 cannot support iphone 14 pro and 58 mm tele lens.

[@killa-kitty]

it can be used on sony zv-1 if I can stick it in front of the lens?

[@moment]

Not on a Sony ZV-1 unfortunately. Would be awesome though if we created something like that! Our T-Series lenses are designed for mobile devices.

[@haystackhider7158]

Moment`s web site is just a mess. I was going to order a case for my Iphone13, a drop-in lens mount, and a anamorphic 1,55x T-series lens. Hopeless. I just gave up..

[@legniak1]

When I pan I get black edges showing up in my footage. 33x anamorphic

[@danielphotoa]

It would be nice to see how these anamorphic lenses look on the phones tele lens for a different focal length. Seeing anamorphic always on the wide gets tiring to see, it looks like a fisheye lens cropped when close up to the subject. But just my opinion, awesome video (:

[@stevemorbey]

Anyone know which gimbal was he using in the video?

[@moment]

Yep! This was on the Zhiyun Smooth 5 :)

[@jaienugurthy4649]

Which app u used for color grading

[@moment]

We used DaVinci Resolve :)

[@jaienugurthy4649]

@@moment is that app or software

[@pdcorlis]

I asked, you answered - THANKS 👏🏻

[@juanpablogarcia7681]

hi i bought the m series for my iphone 15 pro, and i see some black bars in the sides of the screens, mostly in the right one, no one can solve me this, some say is that the fottage is not de squeezed, which is not the reason because im using the app and the footage is desqueezed, and others say that it is the m series which is causing this, but in none of the videos ive been seeing from the m series, they have the black bars, can you help me? you have terrible customer service :(

[@deuceacetone]

the T-Series is the lense you need for your 15 pro. The m-series is not compatible due to the sensor size

[@davelink8658]

Ok hear me out.... I'd love to experiment with a T-Series 1.55x on my Fujix100v. Can you guys make a Moment bayonet adapter for the x100 series Fuji? I know this is a super niche thing, but my dream is to have a super compact anamorphic still camera (that is not a phone). This would be the GOAT! I've rigged this up with the old Moment 1.33x lens by cutting a drop-in lens adapter and supergluing it to a step ring. The results were surprisingly dope! A little soft, but definitely usable. If ya'll were able to actually design an aligned adapter for the Fuji X100v, I think it would be a major hit. I'd buy the shit outta that. Just a thought. Thanks for helping to make anamorphics mainstream!

[@paulzamora4864]

Can you post a video showing this?

[@Yusaku_VCP]

Interesting lens! 👌🏻DAMN WOW!!

[@enriquezf1]

is it me or does this new series just look fuzzier less sharp and not in a good way?

[@ToHellwiththisPodcast]

The filter is cool but tell us more about your history of iced lattes

[@dRoscoAZ]

My Moment lenses are useless, as i have a Galaxy S22 Ultra. Theyve been collecting dust for years now.

[@guilhermealcantara790]

On your site there is an option to buy the lens with the iPhone “15” case lol thats inonvation for shure. Better fix it before Apple notice

[@atanuly]

I love u guys ❤ In love with all ur Products.. Oneday, one by one I'll have it all 😊💝

[@kidcoma1340]

Congratulations, you went all these extra steps, to end up with a bit of barrel distortion and cheesy over the top light streaks.

[@v_stands_for_value124]

If I was a client and some dude presented with a phone on a gimbal I'd be like ''u making some ig stories then u'll go get your camera right?''

[@topherick]

Depends on who the client is and what they are looking for. Some clients want social media style content. There are also some situations where you're capturing content and you can't get a whole camera rig in. I don't think a phone camera can be your primary for large gigs, but it definitely has a place in the creative toolset.

[@ryanbishop3586]

I don't think many people are actually buying this for client work. Where did you get that idea from?

[@SeanCC]

these also work on drone gimbal cams...

[@mightyapostolic]

here me out, anamorphic, but vertical. that would be wild.

[@moment]

Honestly could be a super cool idea 👀

[@SneakyCaleb]

​@@momentif you do this I'll buy it and I know plenty of others that would day 1. Please do it.
