SCOPE Chapter Three - Anamorphic Lenses Experiments & Modding - Epic Episode #17

#sponsored d
It is the last part of our series about anamorphic lenses in cinema… and shooting anamorphic yourself for that extra sweet cinematic look.
SCOPE Chapter Three is all about putting together an anamorphic setup that works for you… with many experiments, tips, tricks and modding guides.
We will be explore Bokeh Design, compare vary diopters and look into how to achieve close focus on a budget. We are going to experiments with anamorphic zooms that will give you those Tarantino crash zooms, explain how to enhance anamorphic flares, for example by adding glass or removing the coating from elements… and we will modd existing lenses to more practical setups.
If you are new to the scope series we definitely recommend to start at chapter one to get into the subject with history and formats, why anamorphic was resurrected, explain different anamorphic designs, and venture through the fashion and poetry of SCOPE formats.
• SCOPE Chapter One - An...
Chapter two is our test and comparison episode. The battlefield for everything anamorphic vintage to new - from cine lens to cheap adapter. Here you can find out what you can achieve in what price range.
• SCOPE Chapter Two - Th...
With the help of some friends from the industry and diving into the world of Blade Runner… we will help you to master anamorphic and get the cinematic image that you desire.

Fascinating stuff, the result of the rear coating removal on the ISCO is very heavy handed flares that would be great for specific projects. I currently have a Aivascope 1.5x which is a great balance for me.

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks… yeah, VERY specific. Like we said… not to be recommended. We do it so you don't have to ;-)

[@GeffenAvraham]

Your videos are always mesmerizing! Thank you for introducing me to the 28-70 zoom lens, by the way. Kimcamera has rehoused them as well, and I think when paired with an Iscorama, you could achieve a great single-focus anamorphic zoom. The Iscorama 54 is surprisingly powerful - it has usable vignetting at 60mm - on an Alexa 65!

Our pleasure Leonardo… glad you feel that way about our work. As you can see, the SCOPE series already caters to a tiny tiny fraction of a small group, generating next to no views. Going into something so specific has no chance to give us reasonable feedback considering the time and money we would have to spend on that - so, we can't do that unless Elon Musk suddenly becomes a massive fan.

great job. don't forget Redstan adaptors which are for me the best to ensure stability of the combo. (mine is Kowa 16H+Helios 44-2+HCDNA+Vivitar diopters if needed). All the best

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks. Sure, or others... whatever suits the given needs

[@ChrisRowe]

Best solution I’ve found is the aivascope 1.5x. Very affordable and terrific results. What’s more, I found that if you pair it with the Sirui 1.33x anamorphic lenses, you end up with a terrifically sharp 2x anamorphic setup with great flares (if you use the amber coated aivascope which really helps tone down those very harsh blue Sirui flares)

[@MediaDivision]

Sounds great... would have loved to put an Aivascope in the series, but it is too expensive to just buy for that purpose

[@Camhin1]

This is God damn art in it self.

[@Ivlodded]

Dieser majestätische Bart :D steht dir!

[@MediaDivision]

Vielleicht was substantielleres?

[@James.G.S]

Thanks for this amazing content. The coating removal was the most intriguing. After you remove the coating (front element for example), what determines the flare colour?

[@MediaDivision]

Hey James.... thank you so much for your very generous support. We salute you! After a lot of experimentation I can tell you this much: You can totally see how flares will look by looking at the reflections shining a white light in to the lens. muted reflections=coated / unmuted reflections=uncoated. Coatings give a reflection a color bias so, coloured reflections will also show you the flare color. If the reflections has no color bias, it is likely uncoated and flares will fall into the light source color. NOW, there are many more surfaces within the lens (look at the diagram we show) and even the coating on the backside of the front element and two further ones in the first doublet will give color casts unless coatings are removed too. As you see in our example, the neutral main flare is mixed with some blue and green from those surfaces. The back elements shows a secondary flare with it's own characteristics following the same scheme. I hope this helps a bit... if you have more questions, go go

[@James.G.S]

@@MediaDivision thank you for taking the time to explain. Really helpful!

once again, some fantastic work here ! Very informative, and so nicely executed ! I'm looking to add something very special to our way of filming, was thinking of setting up some 645 lenses on our son a7s3 paired with Aivascope 1.5x . That would be some incredible killer combo, don't know how practical this would be though .. ever tested this (since you posted the 645 Medium format video I hope you did haha)

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks a lot.. glad you enjoy. We have 645 + anamorphic combos... like we tested one in SCOPE2 but not with Aivascope as we don't own one.

[@chromatafilms]

@@MediaDivision yes seen this with the Letus, I own their gimbal helix and love their products, but their adapter is not practical and interestig to me. I figure out that a 50mm with AivaScope could fit with a FF sensor, maybe even 45mm, so I'm going to look into that and dive further to see what could be achieved with this combo. Again thanks for the incredible work you do, and the tests done with the 80mm 1.9 are glorious ! keep it up !

Great content, so surprised to see the final part! Though a little bit shame this video is in 16:9 and all anamorphic scenes has to bee letterboxed, that combined with me watching this on a 21:9 screen, makes those gorgeous clips looks like peeking through a window.

Thanks... the final part of the SCOPE trilogy, yes. I wouldn't know what more to do about anamorphic and I am pretty done with it. KZbin has limited support for anything not 16:9, everything DIY in this is shot 16:9 and which of the many different anamorphic aspect ratios would be the preferable one? The one that happens to suit your screen?

This is outstanding. Would love to see some Iscorama....also if the uncoating process can be done in an Iscorama 54. Cheers from Argentina.

Thanks...well, we can't do it for all lenses... how could we effort that and who would watch that but 12 people.

Simply brillant. What would happen if the two elements of the adapter would be put closer together? Wider FOV or just garbage?

[@MediaDivision]

Thanks.... it wouldn't provide the right optical formula. These are designed for that specific distance.
