  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Lomo Anamorphics Pics

Mike, you're from Sac? Nice.

I'm originally from Roseville. By the way, when the did they get rid of the orange paint on the Tower Bridge?

On a side note, how are your liking the lenses? What is the total resolution you can utilize when shooting on the anamorphics?

Yeah, they spent major taxpayers dollars to paint the bridge in a gold flake paint, a giant waste of money and a huge eyesore. But, I was down in old sac and figured I would grab a few frames of it. Hard to find an angle that wasn't obstructed by trees.

I love these lenses. They are a bit more difficult to nail focus in certain instances especially on the fly like this but overall they are fantastic. Sharper than I thought they would be. The 35mm is my favorite. Its large (7.5lbs) and awkward and hard to focus by hand without a FF since the barrel is so big, but the flares are magnificent. There is distortion on the edges but I don't mind as much as others I have discussed with. Personal taste. The 50mm is pretty light weight at 4lbs and the 75mm is about 5lbs. All have different flare characteristics and are uniquely great in their own respect. I have a lot more testing and playing to do but I like them a lot so far!
 
Can you introduce some faces?

Thanks,
E.
 
I'll shoot some people soon and post here.

The performance at 2k is great. I shoot in 4k ana mode and crop to 2.35:1 in a 2k comp in REDCINE after doing a 2:1 desqueeze. I beleive the final resolution comes out to 2048x 875. The flares in the field are from the 35mm which is my favorite of the three lenses. Thanks for looking and I'll post more grabs in the next few days.
 
I just don't get everyone love of anamorphic lenses. You get pretty flares, but more ofter than not you are trying to avoid flares. I love 2.40 aspect ratio, but anamorphic glass does nothing for me.

Full Ana scope

Full Ana scope

Anamorphics aren't everyone's first choice, and in many cases i would prefer spherical as well for many reasons. And I know some don't like the way RED treats anamorphics cause of the 16x9 sensor and all, but I actually really like it which is why I chose to piece together my own set.

The images below are the full scope of anamorphic on RED which is unusable before being cropped in to 2.35:1 in its Uber-Scope as Brook likes to call it. I personally think its awesome and will find a way to use this aspect ratio sometime, somewhere, somehow. More to come soon.
 
where did you get your lomo's from ? and how did they need to be adjusted.
i have to say very nice images!
greetings eric

Thanks Erik!

I purchased the Lomo's through two different private sellers. One from Russia and another from LA. The 50mm & 75mm both needed backfocus adjustments, lubing and gears. The 35mm just needed a gear.

Beautiful stuff, Mike. Thanks for posting the images. BTW: What was your monitoring strategy while shooting? I'm curious as to whether you used an onboard monitor with a de-squeeze capability (such as the Carrion or the Nebtek NEB70HDS monitor). P.S. Please check your PM. Thanks.
 
Thanks, I enjoy seeing this. Can we see video?
