Here's a glimpse at the un-released kickstarter/pitch video. All shot on the 50mm T 2.2

I played with the ND's distance in front of the lens on some shots...wanted some more reflections/bleeds. Me and an AC. All handheld. Crazy winds that day out in the desert.

Shot on vintage Lomo Oct19 lenses. Love these things. Produce killer bokeh, organic textures, beautiful flares, etc. Love, love, love. All straight from camera. All the shots below were captured through Nisi's 2.1 IRND as well.

Thanks for sharing. They all look great, Chris. Great texture, bokeh and overall feel. Which lomo lens were those shot with? Do they cover 8KFF?
 
Nice one Chris. These shot with the highlight OLPF? Nice to see no red-dot-flaring on the shooting-into-the-sun shots. Did you see any of that happening at all?

I think you can get some really nice images straight out of the camera by putting older glass on these newer sensors. Those exteriors look a lot like film.

I think Lomo's are really nice on Helium sensor (though they look pretty good on alexa too ; ).

Just posted these quick test lomo anamorphic r3d's which are out of focus but you can pull the colours and general look all over the place:

Can't wait to shoot some proper stuff outside. Chris you have inspired me to get out into the countryside.

Cheers for sharing.

The 18 and 22 vingentte slightly in all flavors of 8K, but are clean in 7k. Using all vintage Oct 19 Lomo sphericals...not anamorphics. I am just loving the look.

No problem and thanks for sharing as well Craig. Yea, I've been a HUGE fan of vintage glass the past few years, and I think these lomos take the cake.
 
I have been wanting to get a few of these as well but haven't pulled the trigger. Did you have these converted to PL or are you using an adapter? Did you get them from rafcamera? Any pics of your lenses. Thanks the grabs look great. Cheers.
 
Lovely frames Chris! Love the Lomos! Highlights looking good for the most part
 
Cheers Chris. Saw your adoption film on another thread. Really great & self-operated the whole thing really well!

To me Lomo's have an almost Cooke lowcon feel about them. Feel almost like a built-in ProMist filter sometimes that helps take the sharp digital look away. FD SSC lenses have a similar feel on a cheaper budget.

Brandon, you can often find Lomo's for sale on reduser's marketplace thread.

Yea, the mount is from rafcamera. He also has quite a few Oct 19 lenses for sale...he's a great source if you're looking for them. Also check eBay.

Acquired from a fellow here on RU who was selling them at the time. You can check out eBay for Oct 19 versions...also, check out rafcamera.com

Wow, that looks great, Chris! When does this campaign launch? Point me to a Twitter account for it and I'll help spread the word.

I have that exact 50mm LOMO and it's one of my favorite lenses. I've been anxiously waiting to see some 8k Helium LOMO footage. Thank you!

And, again, really well done!
