Thanks for watching bud

[@ivandj707]

Yes, you have listed several films that used lenses with this focal length. However, many Hollywood movies were shot with a camera that has a super 35 sensor, which means that they had to use a lens with a different focal length to get a similar look. I want to say that this is an excellent lens, but the look of a Hollywood movies can be achieved with other lenses, and of course it is an advantage if they are anamorphic.

[@ermiaramez976]

Thanks for watching, bud. I think the three films I mentioned ( 1917, The Witch, and Call me by Your Name ) were shot on full frame cameras with 35mm lenses.

[@jaychow94]

Yep, 1917 was shot on the Alexa Mini LF and 35mm and 40mm lenses@@ermiaramez976

[@loremipsumproductivityengi7552]

35mm just isn’t wide enough for Super35 sensors. I wish they can make a 16mm one 😢

[@ermiaramez976]

This 35mm is for full frame sensor though.@@loremipsumproductivityengi7552

[@loremipsumproductivityengi7552]

Yeah I know, the crop factor of super 35 sensor makes any 35mm lens a 50mm equivalent. But I really prefer the wider fov

Hey mate, your film is absolutely stunning! I've been creating 3D short films for a while and am now eager to start shooting live-action. I've been researching this lens for some time and watched thousands of videos made with it, but your film blew my mind. My conclusion is that while the lens is fantastic, your talent in lighting and color grading takes it to another level. Would you mind sharing your post-process? Thanks, and amazing work!

[@philippeborgne5546]

Excellent work !!! I'm struggling to find a reliable tutorial on the internet about the settings to make on your A7IV before starting to shoot in anamorphic. Could you briefly tell me the settings you make on your camera to film correctly with your 1.6 anamorphic lens?

[@mdk1983]

Great work Ermia, the lighting of every shot is consistent with the mood of the narrative. Brilliant handheld work as well, considering that it is manual focus. Can you please mention how you handled focus challenges on your own. Also, did you shoot this on Slog3?

[@ermiaramez976]

so happy to hear that, bud. thanks for watching. manual focusing was the hardest part ( since i never done this before ) , i just tried to keep my distence the same with the subject all the time. and yeah, i shot the whole thing on Slog3 Sgamut3 Cine

[@AlphaCentauri24]

Cinematic aspect ratio is around 2.35:1 to 2.40:1. On A7iv or any camera that records video in 16:9 you will get superwide 2.84:1 aspect ratio. I am sure you chopped off the sides of the footage & yet the footage is somewhere around 2.55:1 - still very wide. 1.6x anamorphic lens requires 3:2 recording (available in some cameras that allow open gate recording & have 3:2 sensor) 1.6*3/2 = 2.40:1 On camera's like A7iv the best you can go for an anamorphic is 1.33x 1.33*16/9 = 2.36:1 (close enough to 2.35:1)

[@ermiaramez976]

you’re right, i mentioned that fact about my camera on the video as well. but 95% of consumer cameras dont have open gate 3:2 option. i think Panasonic S5II and Fuji XH2S are the only ones. i zoomed my videos 1.150x to fit the 2.39.1 ratio, but even the original ratio after desqueez is not very weird to use, its around 2.79:1, and we have feature films shot entirly on this aspect ratio, like Hateful Eight. but ofcruse it would be a lot more pleasing to shot 3:2 with these 1.6 , 1.8 & 2 x anamorphics.

Have you tried the night Walker series yet? If so, how would these 2 compare?

[@ermiaramez976]

no, actually i never tried Nightwalker series, but they are completely diffrent. nightwalkers are spherical cinema lenses for APS-C sensors, but Venus and Saturn series are anamorphic lenses for FULL FRAME sensors. Their greatest advantage over these anamorphic lenses is their speed, T1.2 is excellent for low light conditions. T2.9 is not that great

That’s how movies are made, anamorphic lenses are not affordable at all and usually mostly seen used for Hollywood movies, but sirui made anamorphic lenses for a cheap price, they largely impact the “movie look” and a lot of people try to recreate its effect Although I can understand your disappointment, but this is the closet to the movie look you can get with only a lens and a camera

[@OCAQelvin]

😂😂😂 I like the joke. I guess you already know, but I tell my opinion anyway. Looks like these are standard procedures that have nothing to do with lens. Besides, you instantly get wide cinematic ratio and special flares. Think it like you must crop and lose quality and add flares, softness etc. to achieve it. Now, instantly.
