These Lenses Have Changed The Game! Blazar Remus B-Set

[@rosslmccallum]

This was epic, Matt! Nice flowing and interesting video. I learnt a lot and had fun seeing how the footage came out.

[@MattQuattro]

Thanks so much Ross! Really appreciate your help in this video 🙏

[@NanoBeast]

High quality & nice explanation of the differences between the lenses, well done.

[@MattQuattro]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙏

[@Giovanni-Giorgio]

Finally more info about the B-set! Amen 🎉

Great video Matt! The Remus B-Set look really nice, I love the smaller physical size and the more neutral looking lens flares. The footage you captured with look looks really nice and clean as well. I'm definitely a DOP that doesn't need to own a set of anamorphics for the work that I do, but it's really nice to see more competition in the space. Also the MiniDV sequence at the very end has me missing my old MiniDV cameras, I really wish I hadn't sold them.

[@MattQuattro]

Thanks so much Ben and totally agree with you! It's a niche type of lens in today's market, especially with social media demands. Usually a full 16:9 or 3:2 aspect is preferred. But still amazing that the price for these lenses is now equal to most spherical options. I know what you mean about the MiniDV Camera too. That one lasts for about 2 minutes per charge these days so I had just enough time to put the tape in haha

Fantastic video. I think the best feature to the current Blazar lineup is the price point. For years I dreamt of getting this anamorphic look in a set of primes. They're not perfect, but I dont know many anamorphics that are "perfect" and I dont think filmmakers could ever agree on what "perfect" is haha. But compared to the other lenses in this price range.. I personally love the look these render over them all. Blazar is filling gaps and just getting started ;)

[@MattQuattro]

Thanks so much Cam and I totally agree. They nailed the price point for the quality these lenses deliver and keen to see how they keep innovating from here. Your videos were also really helpful in my decision so I appreciate all the work you've done!

[@andkwiat]

Fantastic video. Thanks a lot.

I'm still waiting on my set to arrive actually. Def curious to check them out once they arrive. They pushed the 33mm back until next month.

[@MattQuattro]

Yeah when I ordered it said end of November but I'm super keen. Hope you enjoy the set!

[@YourStoryStudios]

Very informative! I’ve been staying away from anamorphic lenses but learned a lot through this video. Looking forward to more content 👏👍

[@MattQuattro]

Thanks so much mate! They're a niche tool for a certain type of look but definitely not needed for most corporate work :)

[@RhyssLiam]

Another awesome video Matt!

[@MattQuattro]

Thanks so much legend!

[@timekeepermedia5142]

Lumix has anamorphic stabilization :) Panny is lightyears ahead of sony when it comes to anamorphic support

[@MattQuattro]

Thanks for letting me know, that's awesome. Lumix is killing it right now!

[@waynosfotoscameras]

Yeah, but I find it is not anywhere good as when using normal lenses. 😮 it gives a slow wobble when you pan...

[@timekeepermedia5142]

​@@waynosfotoscameras There's a fix for anamorphics in Resolve to fight the fishbowl effect when you pan. Traditionally and just in general you don't see a lot of panning shots with anamorphics to begin with, now imagine trying to compensate for that electronically..makes sense there's issues haha

[@mattsmolen4]

Didn’t know that anamorphics had different colour flares! Sitting in my JJ Abrams viewing suite thinking they are only blue. Who knew?

[@MattQuattro]

I think the issue with the JJ Abrams viewing suite is it turns all the flares blue by default, so there's no way to know!

[@ProFilmmakers]

Great video and amazing lenses.

[@lewisaa05]

Cool lenses! Getting flashbacks at the end there with that sony memory stick!

[@MattQuattro]

It's definitely a blast from the past 😂 Thanks Lewis!

[@waynosfotoscameras]

Really high quality done. I have the A set and find the focal lengths are more usable as I tend to film wider. I have the 33mm on order. I film, squeezed and off a monopod. Comes out, okay 👍 love these lenses.

[@MattQuattro]

That’s awesome! Glad to hear the A-Set is working well for you and let’s hope the 33mm delivers as well 🙏

[@findingefilm]

Cool video friend! Question. It that the Sirui PL adapter you are using?

[@MattQuattro]

Thank you! Yes it is :)

[@robin-comments]

Lumix S5ii/X: "Hey buddy, i have built-in stabilization for anamorphic shooting, desqueeze factors and 6k Open Gate mode for those 2x anamorphic as well. Where is my honourable mention 🙄"

[@MattQuattro]

Haha I’ve actually shot with this camera and didn’t know it had stabilisation for anamorphic! That’s epic!

[@karaniqbal1870]

If you could only have one, which one would you recommend out of 33m, 45mm, 50mm?

[@MattQuattro]

Definitely the 50mm. However it’s still quite wide, so potentially having at least one longer focal length to cover yourself might be a good idea too!

[@karaniqbal1870]

@@MattQuattro I am on a budget so thought of picking just one to start with, thanks a lot.
