Unboxing EPIC Anamorphic Lenses - 35/50/75mm Viltrox 1.33x

[@jasonrjohnston]

I have this set. Got it back in April just before I shot the feature film Killin' Jim Kelly with them. Great lenses. I've shot pretty much every narrative film I've worked on with these lenses since and I've been very happy. Nowadays only the reality stuff is shot aspherical. I did one narrative short without the EPIC lenses because it just wasn’t appropriate. Otherwise, all the narrative work is anamorphic, even if it’s cropped to 1.78:1. The anamorphic look even at 1.33x is dreamier than aspherical. Future proofed by being PL mount and covering 135 format. Looking forward to completing the set with the upcoming 25mm and 100mm.

Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it.

[@IONHowTo]

The only channel is probably the last proto-video channel I still watch and believe. I really appreciate their style. Drtv was these 2 that's why when they left, drtv was gone. Great duo!

[@fdfotography]

Classic Kai. Every time he touches expensive gears seem to fall off his hands!

[@KwasnikPictures]

Love these lenses 🔥👌

[@maruwaanmoses]

Sam, you literally the only KZbinr that pointed out the dynamic range difference. There's a clear difference with A7iv being the superior camera. A7cii also seems to be slighlty noisier if one compares ISO performance head to head. Top review mate 👌

[@therealfakenews2274]

Kaaaaaaai, missed you man

[@Ranger_Kevin]

The old DRTV durability tests were always fun. But allthough they were silly, it still gave me more confidence in the durability of my DSLR.

[@camillotee7068]

Yes! Definitely need a new durability test. Especially in this kinda weather😅

[@sloep]

That 50mm looks amazing!

[@knoxyish]

that looks like newlands corner??? kai wallowing in the mud!!!

[@OuterEastLLC]

anyone know anything about the modern sculpture?

[@ScottJWaldron]

That output looks nice! Not something I'd use but cool to see in action.

[@gewglesux]

Nice Jacket!! Got the same one

[@imnotsurewhy]

I'm a big fan of J.J. Albon. His work is incredible

[@Daniel_Zalman]

3:00 What we really want is DRTV-style weedeos! But, we'll settle for whatever we're gonna get.

[@bekerashes]

Never happen again

[@ononearts]

Some waterproof hiking boots will be a revelation for these little jaunts into the wilderness for you two lads. Try some Oboz! 😊

[@KenCOO0612]

Which Lut do you use for the S5 mark II? Nice Color.

[@fgdfghsfg]

6:40 Lok I think JJ Album means something else...

[@Axonteer]

miss 50mm f0.9 bokehwhoring or the 40mm vs 50 vs 35mm challanges and thus photography stuff :(

[@EssexCountyPhoto]

I didn't know Adorama was a UK shop ...?

[@Daniel_Zalman]

1:08 That's not just Carbon-Fiber, Kai. It's Polycarbonate-Chow-Soo.

[@ThomasPleasance]

I was hoping for your insta360 ace pro review 😢 but this was good :)

[@Localtraveler2376]

They probably won’t sell out to Insta360 to be able to get products early.

[@citizenp4097]

I just found your (not so) new channel... I love it.. but what I miss from your work at your previous company were the tricks you did with the cameras... I use to do them with my daughter, who is all grown up...I wanted to start again with my son, but was very disappointed to see all your old videos removed... could you do new ones..please!!!!!!!!

[@K-___-]

Please make more videos ;P

[@yuka-youtube]

hi Kai. i am from Japan. i hope someday you and Lok together hunt some real British food and live. or go to Downton Abby place for photo O.o. i like your channel from old days. have a nice thanksgiving day.

[@bekerashes]

Real British food you mean baked beans sandwich lmaoo

[@dj_laundry_list]

I just bought a sirui carbon fibre lens that weighs 480g lol

[@corwingarber]

JJ album 😭

[@stephanes.]

That jellow effect is weird with this lens :/

[@Daniel_Zalman]

Ah, yes. Kai's bi-monthly weedeo posting!

[@restaurantattheendofthegalaxy]

Please share your PO Box so we can all chip in & send you a camera strap.

[@nicedward7544]

Can you guys start the "Pro photographer $#!tty camera" series again???? Please....

[@sticboy]

"It's not ok!"

[@meatbyproducts]

Why is all this only coming from Chineese companies?!

[@halocinematic3127]

Amount of time people point lights directly into anamorphic lenses in movies= 1% of the time. *see note below Amount of time people point lights directly into anamorphic lenses in KZbin reviews= 95% of the time. *unless you're JJ Albums.

[@TigroGumi]

Seeing as you don't read comments I'd like to say: Poo Bum

[@psychologist_stefanenko]

Kai, reviews on new cameras have stopped coming out on your channel. It's somehow not cool

[@yosefco]

these lenses looks clumsy, not aesthtic, almost brutal.

[@polinttalu7102]

Yo Kai, you seem to be getting older..

[@Cubeforc3]

He's been on KZbin for what, 15 years now? What did you expect, Benjamin Button reviewing cameras?

[@gewglesux]

God willing yes.

[@polinttalu7102]

@@Cubeforc3 nah, I haven't watched him in years so I was a little shocked.

[@abdiascintron7351]

why a company give those kids lens for review when them don't even have a good video tripod , youtube have some amazing creators with way better knowledge than those kids, and way better professionalism

[@mr.b6789]

😂 the joke is on you, they "don't even read the comments"!

[@Localtraveler2376]

They also made digitalrev tv what it was which was at one point the biggest channel on KZbin. I hope this is a joke comment or you sound like a complete idiot.

[@jcloiseau]

Is this a sarcastic comment?

[@saif.sammar]

​@@mr.b6789😂😂😂

Liking this comment because I know he’s taking the piss
