Hey Brandon, just passed by this thread. Your selling me up on Lomos, people & cat shots looked really strong. Just goes to show you don't need razor sharp images to impart a sense of style. I'm actually liking how these lenses compliment the 4k look. I agree with your thinking ref landscapes with these lenses definitely not crisp, funny made the landscapes look russian or was it just me.

Yeah, I am really pleased overall with the lenses. The look very much fits the film I plan to use them for. I just need to figure out what to do about wide landscape shots. There are not many, but they are quite important. Maybe getting the lenses checked out will help, but if not the backup plan is to use sharper lenses and match the look as best as possible in post. I should have another LOMO in a week or so. 150mm.

The site I was hosting them at seems to have gone out of business. Can anyone suggest somewhere I can upload them again? I'll put some new ones online as well.
 
So Brandon , I'll be waiting for more of your great tests. Really love your lomo shots! Do you have a thread about the glass? Where you got it and on and on :) - didn't read the whole thread here yet. Punching in between work ;)

Yeah, I'm going to work on some posts about all that. Been pretty slammed lately. Shooting the opening scene of the film soon :)
 
How did the focus and chart testing go?
 
I haven't done it yet. Going to go through it with a local tech. I'll post the results.
 
Hey Brandon, kind of confused here. A friend of mine was telling me that since the Lomo is a 2X lens, that in combination with the sensor size of the red scarlet it would give me a really strange aspect ratio of 3.56.1. But your shots look fine! what's the deal? I must be not understanding something here.

EDIT: Never mind, realized were not talking about anamorphic lenses here.

Even with anamorphics, you'd just crop out a 1.2:1 aspect extract and expand it as usual to get the 2.4:1 aspect. This does waste a good portion of the sensor, but hopefully Red might enable specific anamorphic recording sizes to help us get the most out of them.

Yeah, I'm not using anamorphic lenses. Would love to try them out of Scarlet later supports the option.

I'm extracting a 3600 x 1500 frame from the 4096 x 2160 source. I have customized the frame guides for this as well.
 
I tried to download the files, but the link seems to be expired, any other links avail? Thanks.

Yeah, I need to find a new host. I'll be posting better stuff in the future.Here is a test I shot today. Actor screen test. Went great and I just cast in the film. We shoot his first scene next weekend.
