Sirui's Budget Anamorphic Lenses are.... ALMOST Great!

[@Nick-4K]

I once smacked my teacher's butt when I was stretching while in my chair. I was expecting to get in trouble. But she turned around, knowing it was an accident, and said, "woah, woah. Atleast buy me dinner first." Best teacher ever.

[@Nick-4K]

I have an embarrassing story. I was getting the mail for my parents as a little kid and unknowingly dropped a piece of junk mail and it got blown away. Then I noticed it and since the neighbors were out and could see me I yelled out litter when I picked it up. Then I saw the names of my parents on it. I want to die still. No I don't want a camera lens but I want to tell people who don't care about me stuff.

Try the squeeze vs distance thing on other anamorphic lenses

youre quite possibly the last person id expect to see here lol

[@herranton]

While I cant say with any authority, because there are probably only a few people in the world that can, I have a feeling that the anamorphics from the big boys aren't going to have focus breathing/squeezing issues. Especially when they're over 10 times the cost.

[@critical]

@@herranton a few people in the world? Just go to a rental house

[@herranton]

@@critical well, I mean few relative to the population of the planet. There aren't that many rental houses. I bet there are probably fewer than 500 people that would have experience with enough anamorphics to speak with any authority on it.

I did a real estate shoot and had to heavily use the bathroom for a number 2. Nobody was around and I used the bathroom in the house I was filming in when I realized they turned off the water. Frantically looking for a way to flush the Realtor and possible buyer showed up out of the blue. I tried to tell the Realtor somehow NOT to show THAT bathroom ... well long story short. I gave the realty shoot for free and was never hired by that realtor again lol. Most embarrassing moment in my entire life lol. Was peeking at this lens for a while for my Sony a6400 . Thanks Gene for another great episode. Aloha

Embarrassing Story: I went on a first date with a girl this summer, so covid was around and getting a bite to eat was a little tough. Me being the Gordon Ramsay protégé that I am offered to cook her lemon pepper salmon and Brussel sprouts. I cooked the sprouts in a Pyrex baking dish and when they were done I put them on the stove because none of the burners were on. I was wrong and as I was putting everything on plates the glass dish blew up, sounded like a gun shot and glass went everywhere. needless to say I bought her a new baking dish and she never asked to hang out again. Gotta love the year 2020

[@AtomicAgePictures]

Inconsistent squeeze Factor was a common problem in early CinemaScope lenses. In fact it was often referred to as the CinemaScope mumps because actors would get these very wide faces and close-ups. It wasn't until Panavision came along and added elements to the lenses that would compensate for the squeeze factor that that was eliminated in professional anamorphic lenses.

[@peterbako3532]

Embarrassing story time: When I was in 9th grade, at gym class, we always did some stretching before we started the workouts. One time my stomach felt weird the entire day, but I didn’t pay that too much attention. The day went on and it was time for the gym class. We did the usual running laps at the beginning and after that, we started to do the stretching. At that moment I started to feel my stomach rumbling. I realized that I have to fart. I was barely able to hold it in, but I managed throughout the entire thing. The catastrophe happened at the last stage. The teacher asked us to lean over and touch our toes without bending our knees. At that moment, as I bent over, I let out the loudest ass cracking fart I have ever had in my entire life. Naturally, the whole class noticed, and I never heard the end of it. This happened in 2014 so a good while ago, but I never fully recovered from it. :D

Mr. Potato, here is my embarrassing story: I used to live in Germany while I was in the Army, and I once got so drunk that I fell through the 10th story open window of a hotel I was staying at and landed on the 9th story balcony below me. I crashed through the balcony patio table and woke up the guests staying in that room. I had to exit through their hotel room to get back to the elevator leading to mine. ...I was naked.

I was filming an interview shot of my principal for a school video and I forgot the tripod quick release plate. I decided to wing it and balance my camera on the top of the tripod. This didn't end so well when I forgot about it and slapped it right off the tripod onto the ground. This really accentuated the professionalism I was trying to personify!

[@AustinRoss]

After watching Media Division's Master Class on Anamorphic lenses, one thing that stood out to me immediately was you talking about the squeeze up close. Apparently, this is a trait of ALL Anamorphic lenses. So, for anyone looking to get this lens, it's not the lens' fault, it's the fact you're shooting Anamorphic.

[@Vtsakoniatis]

Last summer I had a shoot at a location that was 1 hour from my house. (Here comes the embarrassing part) the night before the shoot I went out with my mates for a drink or two, long story short we were at the club until 7 am (note that the shoot was at 10 am) so we I went home slept for 2 hours. We go to the spot with the client and I realise that my camera battery’s were not charged and I had forgot my SD cards at home. Luckily for me I had a power bank, a MacBook and a Spare 16 gb SD card with so I did the shoot with out the client noticing that I was dumb and didn’t came prepared. That day I purchased 5 more SD’s and 4 more battery’s. Love to hear an embarrassing story from you Gene.

Embarrassing Story: A couple of years ago I was invited to do a speech on a photography event and just before they called me on the stage I felt the need to go (really bad) to the bathroom, but it was too late. So I got up on the stage, waited for my turn and when I started speaking in front of the crowd I was already profusely sweating. The worst thing is that they had cameras zoomed at my face linked to big screens behind me and everyone was worried that I was ill! I endured trough the end and just as I stepped out of the stage I started running searching for the toilet, while everyone backstage wanted to talk to me and help me. I can laugh now, but it was a very dramatic moment of my life! 😂

[@FlyByFrancis]

On my very first day of freshman year in high school I was so lost that I wasn't able to find my first period class. When I finally did find it class had already started and I went in and asked the teacher if I was in the right class. She looked at my schedule and told me in front of the class that no I got the wrong class. So I love and try to look for the class that I was supposed to be in. And after 25 more minutes of searching I returned back to the first classroom I went to. My teacher got so mad that I was late, even though I told her that I was here earlier, she was almost shouting when she was addressing me. At this point everybody in class was staring, some of the seniors were giggling ( this was a math class and there were some seniors retaking the class). That teacher decided to sit me that smack in the middle of the class all the way in the front row. It still haunts me till this day. 🥲🥲

Embarrassing story: when I was 18 and finished school in Germany, our whole class went for spring break parties to Croatia. There I met a girl who was modeling back in Germany at this time and we had something going on for half a year. (Things broke up due to the great distance between our places of residence at this time, but we were both okay with it) 5 years later I started creating a passion for photo- and videography and after I had some jobs as a freelancer with a friend, we got this job from a clothing- and accessoires- brand to shoot their products for them. So driving to the set (2 hours away from the place I live), I get into the studio and the first person I see is the girl I met 5 years ago in Croatia (she should be the model for this day). But the most embarrassing part: the owner of the brand we were shooting was her boyfriend.

Thank you very much for an excellent analysis of Sirus atmospheric lenses. You have an excellent performance where you elegantly take the step out of the amateur explanation that many youtubers have. It is a pleasure to see your tests that you have filmed. You have a professional explanations and analyzes in your explanations, where you present the tests in an excellent and easy-to-understand way that I think most people can understand. As a end result, your youtube video are professional with filming, scripts, clips, and music. It is a joy to be entertained by you with good analyzes. I can understand that you are a professional. I look forward to every time you come up with your analyzes, where you elegantly describe qualities in poto / video products, something that gives me greater certainty about the qualities of units that are on my shopping list. Thanks ! You do not explain your videos in such a tedious way as this text shows. "Most optical phenomena can be explained by the description of light by classical electromagnetism. However, complete electromagnetic descriptions of light are often difficult to apply in practice. Practical optics therefore make common use of simplified models. The most common of these are geometric optics such as treats light as a collection of rays that propagate in straight lines, are deflected as they pass through or are reflected in surfaces.Physical optics also involve a more complete model of light, as necessary wave effects such as diffraction, which means that light transmitted through slits is scattered in patterns and interference, where different light waves can amplify or attenuate each other, which is not accounted for in geometric optics.Historically, the beam-based models of light were developed first, followed by the wave model.Progress in the development of the theory of electromagnetism in 1800 the number led to the discovery that light waves are actually electromagnets isk radiation.

Squeeze varies from 1.25 at the minimal focusing distance to 1.33 at infinity. Tito from “Anamorphic on a budget” has detailed videos on it. Not overly annoying, unless your subject moves back and forth a lot. What’s really annoying is the flares. ND filters seem to tame them down a bit.

[@FloNick]

I like that review and how you're being honest about the flaws of the lens. In the end there's a reason why the professional anamorphics are so expensive. And still there's people who talk themselves into believing a $800 lens will give them the same qualities.

Embarrassing story: On the first day of college, I had a bunch of people in my room to try to make some new friends. As it was a rainy day, and we were about to go to orientation, I had my umbrella in my hand, ready to leave. This was one of those collapsable ones with a spring in it, so it was pretty powerful. Of course, everyone knows that opening an umbrella inside is bad luck. I felt that immediately. I pressed the open button and somehow, the umbrella shot right into my groin. I was so injured by this that I had to go to the hospital to see if I could still have kids... I was somehow fine. To this day, the friends still talk about this story.

ABSOLUTELY WRONG. turned out it was the loudest and highest pitch fart I've ever made, and the worst thing was, I was trying so hard I didn't even notice the teacher staring at me spreading my asscheeks. I've graduated and we still laugh back at that time, but holy shit the embarrassment does NOT FADE from that incident.

So back in Highschool I was a varsity swimmer and yes that means Speedos were being worn, well anyways at practice one day we had the door open into the pool to the outside to cool off the pool room (MN winters) and I thought it would be funny to go dive into a snow pile outside the door... but also my coach thought it would be funny to shut the door and not let me back in. So there I am outside in the snow wearing a Speedo and now having to go back into a different entrance of the school, and you guessed it... had to walk mostly naked into a main entrance with tons of kids from my school making fun of me as I make my walk of shame back to the pool. It was cold that day 🥶

I don't know. Flares on this lenses look cheap. And picture on this lenses is not cinematic at all. It's not because of Potato - he is great - I see this problem in any tests.

[@Arcaged]

i mean... they are cheap lenses

[@dodmedia]

I'd argue that most people who've tested this lens on KZbin haven't done so with a decent lighting setup though. The main focus has been to point lights directly into the lens to show how it flares, without thinking about lighting the scene and subject properly. I'm guilty of this myself. For my review of the 24mm I shot a sequence outdoors with just natural light, and then a sequence in my studio with thought-out lighting, and the difference is huge.

[@NicolasWaldvogel]

Agreed, this is one of the most overrated lens trends with beginning filmmakers on KZbin imo (not that Potato is a beginner of course!). Apart from the flares which do look ok, not great, the colours and contrast of these lenses look very cheap and not pleasing at all. Much better option to buy a Helios and get the anamorphic mod with it. Or just shoot with great spherical lenses and wait until you actually have the budget to rent proper anamorphic lenses on the appropriate project.

[@moeloehoe]

@@NicolasWaldvogel why? Let people do whatever they want. 699 for a beginner anamorphic lens? I would've loved that a lot back in the early 2000's.

[@NicolasWaldvogel]

@@moeloehoe of course people can do what they want, I can also state my opinion on it if I want. As can you lol. Yes sure for the price it's a cool entry but not worth it in my opinion as you sacrifice image quality (and I'm not talking about sharpness mind you) for the trend of flares and oval bokeh. The latter you can get with Russian vintage lenses for much cheaper and the former can be faked quite easily. We can all have our opinions of course.

On Christmas 2019, I was driving to my wife's parents house it snowed the night before, but was warmer during the day, so the snow was melting and making puddles everywhere. A cute old lady who lives down the street from me happened to be out checking her mailbox, and I didn't see her, nor the puddle on the side of the road since I was looking at a house's Christmas lights on the opposite side of the road. Before I knew it, I hit a massive puddle, sending a tidal wave on top of my neighbor (she's in her 70s) and completely soaked her out in the cold. Merry Christmas to her! 🎄🎅🏼 Hahah I ended up backing up and apologizing deeply, it was super awkward, but she was understanding and didn't get mad at me.

One day, as the temperature was really low, like -35°C (-31°F), I was singing while walking to warm up. I had a carabiner hooked on my backpack strap. suddenly, I heard a noise, like a wolf or a coyote scream. So I turned around really quickly, but mouth open and tongue out, as I was still singing. My tongue touched the carabiner, and because of the crazy cold, stayed stuck to it. So I was there, in the middle of nowhere, in a crazy cold, surrounded by wild animals, screaming only the vowels of insults, my head twisted in a painful angle on my right side. That was pretty embarassing I must say. Weird memorie.

Embarrassing Story: I’m talking to a classmate at school in 8th grade (2001) and out of nowhere midway in our casual conversation she says, “Remember when you used to wear girls clothes to school?” (I’m a guy). I laugh it off thinking she’s joking and have no clue what she’s talking about. She responds, “Yeah, you used to wear those girl pants… you know the one with the pink embroidered rose on the back butt pocket?” At that moment my laughter slowly stops as I suddenly have a flashback [WHOOSH~] and at that moment I knew exactly what she was talking about. Back in 4th grade (1997) when I had no care or interest in clothes and my mom was still picking out my school clothes (also embarrassing) we received bags full of second hand clothes from a family friend. All the clothes in the bags were for boys, but there was one navy blue corduroy pants that had an embroidered pink rose with a green stem on the back butt pocket. I have no idea how I or my mom didn’t notice the pants were for girls. My guess now is since all the other clothes in the bags were for boys that we didn't give it a second thought and somehow those pants had snuck in there. After she mentions the pants I realize all my other classmates must have known they were pants for girls and NO ONE had mentioned it to me. I remember wearing those pants every week for at least that whole school year. I still think about those pants from time to time and wonder where they are… probably up in my parent's attic somewhere.

Embarrassing story: when I was in 3rd grade I approached my crush, Jacky I believe her name is, to confess my genuine and really mature love for her. I tapped her shoulder and as I began giving my elevator pitch of love she began laughing. Apparently having my fly down and my blinding white undies showing was not the right approach. Her loss in my opinion. 🧐🥴

10 years ago, I took my final exams during my senior year with a diarrhea the night before. I thought I was okay in the morning and took my finals. But during the exams my stomach felt weird all of a sudden, I rushed to the toilet and it exploded there. When I was about to clean myself up I noticed the bidet was broken -- good thing, I was still holding onto my test paper out of panic and brought it to the toilet. Had a lot of explaining that day with the examiner.

The following event happened around 2008-2009. I was covering the state budget at the Capitol back when Arnold Schwarzenegger was the Governor. You've seen the scenario before; all the media from the state was there, lined up against the wall, leaving very little space to move around. To give you perspective, Arnold was roughly 20-30 feet away from us at his desk. It was around 9:15 p.m. and getting close to our deadline. The reporter who I was with tapped me on the shoulder and said we need to go back to our vehicle and put our story together. As I was leaving, my foot got caught on the bottom leg of my tripod, causing me to fall chest first onto a printer that was behind me. Then came the tripod. Then the camera. The entire room became quiet. All eyes on me. Arnold's eyes on me. No words could describe how embarrassed I was. I fell in front of Arnold and stopped the signing of the state's budget from happening. As my reporter was helping me get on my feet, I felt something new. Something that was not there before. A cold breeze. I look down and what do I see? My pants and underwear completely ripped from the seam of my crotch to the ankle. Revealing myself to the world. I didn't really have time to comprehend what had happened. All I knew was I had to make my deadline. I ran back to the vehicle and put the story together, exposed, and out in the open. I don't really understand how those series of events lead to there. The whole situation still baffles me. Years later, I told this story to my boss. “THAT WAS YOU?”. He was one of the photojournalists next to me. To this day, I'm not 100% sure if Arnold has seen my peen, but now I know that my boss has

My embarrassing story: On my first video shoot, we drove 3 hours to the location, and I idiot forgot my camera backpack. We had to drive back and shoot it the next day. On the next day I stupidly left the SD card in the computer. Luckily I had a mini SD card in my phone and I also had an adapter with me. Then we could film after all :D

Can't help but notice that the term "lens flare" was mentioned 10 times in this video and the word "lens" was mentioned 34 times in this video.......

I was working door at a tickets only new years party, and we were oversold. I had been politely turning people away, when my boss came out to help. We continued to let people know we were sold to capacity, and one couple came by who would have been really excited to come in to check out our bar for a single drink, but we politely turned them away too. Before they made it out of earshot, a young couple who was dressed to the nines for the party theme came up, but didn't have tickets. My boss let them know that since they looked so fabulous, we could certainly make an exception for them. My stomach dropped, and as I looked across the street, I immediately made eye contact with the woman we had just turned away. I didn't offer to work the door for parties like that in the future XD

On my first film set I was standing in frame next to our product( to get lighting right before talent came in) and I managed to knock all the product onto the floor, which we were suppose to get close ups of. Luckily nothing broke and the scratches weren’t too bad. Somehow I got to keep my job. And I do have an E-mount camera! A7S3

[@northislandnow8858]

How tight is the mount? My mounts are sloppy. Using these lenses on a Ronin with a focus motor. The focus motor moves the actual lens before the focus rings starts moving. Lots of lens rocking on the 50mm and some on the 35mm.

Have you looked into reviewing the Iron Glass Anamorphic Lenses? They are Russian vintage lenses with anamorphic modifications. “Anamorfake” Lenses.

What will happen if you back up with camera opposite from moving closer ? Will it still be in focus or you need filter for that aswell ?

Embarrassing story 1: I became single last summer and started dating lately. There's a girl which I'm dating more often and due to lockdown we started staying overnight (nothing more,lol). Since im very into fitness and need to stay in shape I always drink some protein shakes which cause flatulence. So I was at her place couple days ago and we ate kebab and drank beer and i managed to keep all the gas always inside, which already was a major achievement. Once we both fall asleep I was so relaxed that I just RIPPED maybe the loudest one I can imagine. It was loud enough that we BOTH woke up from it. She asked me what that shock was and I told her I heard it to, im afraid and don't know what it was, maybe her neighbors 🙈. So I went back to sleep. On the next morning she told me that she only slept 3 hours cause she heard that noise couple of times afterwards and also needed to use ear plugs otherwise she wasn't able to sleep at all....😭 She still doesn't know to this day. Yes, we are still dating.

Embarassing story 2: At work I once forgot to lock the stall and one of my colleagues came in. Worst day ever.

Embarassing story 3(business): I once filmed a wedding with one of my best buddies (he helps me out). We're pretty cool and in the breaks we keep us fit by doing push-ups and stuff like that. So the wedding was at an old castle and everyone was having dinner so we had a short break and thought "let's do some push ups!" We found an storeroom upstairs which we went into and did some push-ups. My buddie always cheers me up with some sounds and screams. When we came back, we noticed that not only every guest from that wedding heard us scream because that storeroom was above the dance floor, they also thought we did some...things...because we "screamed" and came back sweaty. With some clarification and a wonderful end result the customer was very happy. Still funny af.

Wow, probably the most interesting comment section I saw on a video. My embarrassing story: I once stuck a pin in my bicycle tire to see what would happen to it (I think we can all tell what happened). It was the rear tire too, so my dad had to later take apart the whole system around the back tire to fix it.

[@ABXY1109]

My most embarrassing story went a little like this. There was this new talent we had in our production company and I was hyped to shoot her takes. As I was setting up her lights and set, the news that this new talent was a runway model and stuff circled around the office and pretty soon, people were flocking to the studio to see her. Now the studio I work in is pretty small, factor in a few LED lights, some fill lights, all on huge tripods and half of the office inside the studio, you could say that I was getting a little bit annoyed. When I was finishing up one final adjustment to the lights by carrying a fill light closer to the model, I almost tripped on one of the tripods of the lights because it was getting too crowded inside the studio. In the most annoyed and irritated voice I ever spoke in, I shouted "ANY NON ESSENTIAL PERSON IN THE ROOM, PLEASE GET OUT" And then everybody looked at me. Behind me was the executive assistant of the whole production company. She wasn't essential to the shoot. But she was way beyond the chain of command for me to relay orders to 😂

[@Neanderthal_yardy]

What about anamorphic lens kit for phones? How do we upgrade the mounts when the original lens mount is not compatible with the new phone camera body. Also, what about moment 82/77mm gold/blue cineflare. I was wondering if you guys did a review covering that one. ✌️✌️🤑🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@slonismo]

Lmao my story is photography related - this was a while back but I got my first paid real estate shoot and the widest lens I had was a 24mm and I was shooting a small apartment. I threw everything I had at the place - did some light painting and some HDR stuff and a bunch of composting. Half way through editing, my PC crashed and I spent the next 9 hours or so repairing it and reinstalling windows onto an SSD cuz I figured I might as reinstall it now while I had the chance. In the end, I stayed up for 22 hours, got the photos in but here’s the kicker - he didn’t like them because they weren’t wide enough to showcase this small ass apartment lmao. He still offered to pay and I adamantly refused. Invested in a 12-24 f4 right after that. Looking back on that still hurts though lol

About 2 years ago I was asked to film a concert. Nothing special, just camera on a tripod. I decided that I want two angles and at the time didn't have much equipment. I took my low end Canon and a very bad Nikon. When I reviewed the footage, Nikon's white balance was extremelly warm and the canon had stopped recording because I didn't have a memory card fast enaugh. I remember trying to edit the footage by taking random parts from the concert and filling the blanks.

Do you think the fact that that Lens was made for apsc sensor and you had to zoom in on your camera was the thing that affected the squeeze? That got me thinking 🤔🤔
