The Truth About This Sirui Nightwalker Lens

[@SynergyPartners23]

This is great! now its time to start showing your light set up as well, where is the key light? where is the fill, diffusion etc and "document" the actual T-Stop of the actual shot would be beneficial. great stuff

[@MrLYPH]

had to keep pausing the video to see where that dripping sound was coming from in my room

[@Yusaku_VCP]

Sam nailed that electric guitar moves. 🤣🥰❤️ Hahaha

[@themarksmanABP]

Them colours are lovely. Does the lens naturally have that rich warm leaning tone? I often contemplate the Saturn anamorphic series lenses lol

[@DannyBligh]

Yeah, it’s the same with the venus lenses too. As long as you nail your exposure, the image really comes to life

[@annmariekelly631]

At 5.15, is that an electronic follow focus and if so is it worth buying for the manual lenses?

[@stilllbornn]

I use the Sirui Nightwalker series. First with a manual follow focus from smallrig, now with a used tilta nucleus. All of it on a BMPCC4K. For that yeah. Go for it. Taking your hand of, moving it to the lens and turning the focus ring shifted my camera a bit to the side. You'll notice that unstabilized and even a bit on stabilized shots. With the tilta, I don't see movement while focusing. I couldn't imagine focusing via the focus ring. If you shoot only photos, then using the ring is absolutely fine. Only my experience ;)

Could you try the 75mm on Orion nebula at t1.2? Mft

[@SammyC27]

which two to get first for art films and music videos? 16mm, 75mm, or one of the other three?!

[@DannyBligh]

What do you prefer?! I’d definitely go for two different looks like 16/24 paired with 55/75 but 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@DollarMoviesUSA]

16mm w/55mm 16mm acts like 24 and is their widest lens 55mm acts like 82mm which is close to what cinematographers may use for close ups (85mm). You could go for any of their other options but I think you’ll find yourself too far spread out in capabilities.

[@isaacalgutria]

Do you get a wobble effect using the lens?

[@DannyBligh]

When i was doing handheld shooting, i never noticed it and that was with the active stabilisation on. However i’m not going to guarantee you won’t get any

[@isaacalgutria]

@@DannyBligh yes I’ve been hearing different results

[@DannyBligh]

@@isaacalgutria i suspect (may be wrong here) that it’s more to do with the camera body it’s on than the lens itself. For instance, the Canon R5 generally had horrific wobble but they did a firmware update and it’s much better

[@isaacalgutria]

@@DannyBligh it would be an interesting test to do. Test out that anamorphic lens on different bodies and rank which one has it the worst. It would have to be the dedicated lens for that camera no adapters. It would be an expensive test

[@DannyBligh]

@@isaacalgutria i’ll leave that expensive test to you then 😂👏🏼 let me know how it goes 😉

[@adrianmartin8202]

I already bought the 35mm for my Lumix S5, how I can change the black ring crop in the settings of the Lumix?

[@louisdown1506]

you go into settings and selec the APS-C crop mode, or you shoot in 4k 60, it will automatically crop in

[@REMY.C.]

I have the 24mm and I'm very disappointed, it has a serious focusing problem, to havve infinity in focus, more like 10m+, I need to put on 5m. I couldn't find anyone talking about this issue and no KZbinr encountered this apparently.

[@DannyBligh]

Oh wow, that’s definitely not something i’ve noticed with mine. So like the measurements and the focus plane are off?

[@REMY.C.]

@@DannyBligh yes exactly, very frustrating and I found no information on how to shim or calibrate. Very annoying.

[@DannyBligh]

@@REMY.C.not sure about this specific series of lenses but shimming could definitely work. However you ‘shouldn’t have to. I’d contact Sirui and see if they can help

[@DMRCapitalHill]

This is why you invest into quality cinema glass like a DZO

[@REMY.C.]

@@DMRCapitalHill not the same price range for a first lens.

[@vedataslan6121]

I also don't like sony lenses' color. When i use old manuel lenses such as minolta or pentax on sony sensors, they look great and warmer. But sony lenses are like anemic. The are not as warm as other lenses. For post shooting color grading they may be useful but they can use better coatings for users like me. I want to see living results while shooting.
