The EF version should! That being said we haven’t tested so we aren’t sure about any vintetting

@@TheFilmGuyOfficial as long as they physically fit il risk the vignette! will pronanly test it, anyone want to buy a greatjoy 50mm (1.8 squeeze)? 🙂

Agreed

They are wonderful

yes both do

sadly no!

Yes! But heavier and louder. It’s important to keep that in mind.

I heard there was a new firmware that brought down the fan noise a bit, have you guys looked into that? I have the b200 but haven't had time to check.

@@ThomasFransson the 200s are pretty good but they dont need as much cooling. ill double check the firmware but pretty sure its the latest.

Glad they fit your needs!

Always!

In theory wouldn’t having an output fan make it so they wouldn’t have to pump the current fans so loud though? Because man theses are loud

@@TheFilmGuyOfficial The sound comes from the fan blades moving through the air, so adding another fan should make it louder instead. If you mean that the other 3(?) fans could spin lower rpm due to another fan, maybe but i doubt it would make an impact in noise level.

It's actually very hard to get air to bend 90 degrees. You could also reverse just one of the intakes as an exhaust without adding a fourth fan. But who really knows without the ability to test it - but it as our opinion that they are a bit loud! :)

Glad you enjoyed it

In theory, you should be able to use it with that lenses! You would have to get a 4x5.65 circular polarising filter to go in the mat box

I don’t believe it out yet!

Thank you!

thanks for the comment, sorry kilograms are used everywhere outside of the states. USA just needs to get on board haha

Glad you liked it!

Yes you might need to use a rail mount system! So rather than use the frount of the lens to mount the battle box you would set up a baseplate with 15mm rods and a smallrig matte box rail mount

Thank you so much! I just tried that and it worked 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Costume goes a long way

Thanks so much!

Glad you liked it!

Personally we like this a lot more than the nanomorphs

@@TheFilmGuyOfficial what would be ideal combo for apsc cam? 35mm and 65mm?

@@adinbradic7092 yes and then the 45 eventually

@@TheFilmGuyOfficial thanks for the feedback!

Glad it was helpful!

It’s a great light! I’ve heard the quick set up frame is much nicer to use

100% agree with you there! It's just a title at the end of the day and we do think these are a great start for those looking for an affordable anamorphic lens set with a distinctive look.

Sorry I don’t have the nisi / moment

Very much depends on the Camera some cages don’t have issues but a lot of them do!

@@TheFilmGuyOfficial thank you mate

I’m not actually sure that’s what they’re going to do. I think it’s more that they think a lot of people will use these specifically on S35 cameras to avoid the strong edges. For them the 35mm makes sense.

I don’t personally think so, this and the 65 have been glued to my camera for the last month on professional client work.

After you add some distortion correction we think it’s extremely usable

Do remember though that the BMPCC 6K has a smaller sensor than most S35 cameras, so a lot of the funk will be cropped vs what we have here. But that said, there's nothing wrong with waiting to see how the 33mm fairs and having a lens set that you can take with to full frame cameras when you use them.

No worries! We’ll try keep that in mind going forward just like we’ve been testing shims on anamorphic lenses going forward as well. Ultimately the visuals do show the effect so people can still make their own conclusions. I don’t think seeing heavy distortion will make people turn against barrel distortion completely based on what we label it alone, they’ll just not like heavy distortion which is fair. Hopefully the information here is still useful. It’s less noticeable shooting s35 where the lens is designed to operate and is fairly well correctable in post with lens correction, thought it’s obviously understandable that not everyone will be keen for such a strong look depending on their shooting conditions.

This is a good call! Especially on wider lenses it’s an important thing to clarify.

The 35mm needed the least amount of correction out of all of them but still needed alittle! We like it a lot more than the 45!

Yes, but the squeeze is consistant when focusing which is what we normally look at and talk about when we discuss squeeze consistancy in anamorhic lenses, and it is what I was speaking about at that part of the video: "from minimum to infinity" - Sorry if there was any confusion. Many anamorphcs have inconsistant squeeze from edge to edge, including the Kowas like you mention.

@@ShaneVanLitz both get talked about fairly regularly. It looks like at the edges the factor is at least an extra 0.5X squeeze, which makes it pretty useless for framing up faces significantly off-center. Again, yes the Kowas do this somewhat too, but it can be a major factor in anamorphic lens choice. Synchro focus squeeze change is as you’ve said a different thing, but both can make a director frustrated pretty quickly, so it’s important to understand. A lot of the reviews are glossing over this attribute or misleadingly referring to it as barrel distortion, when it’s an entirely separate attribute. It can also make center framed images really pop, but it comes with (literal) downsides as well.

​@@ForestCinema I've used many lenses with the same issue and it's just IMO not discussed or tested as much as what we did test here, so I'm sorry but I do disagree! But that's not really important if we're both honest! What is important is that it is still a thing and you aren't wrong - It's not something that will suite everyone / every project and we do mention that. As mentioned on another comment we will also try to keep this clarification between distortions in mind where relevant going forward.

I agree, this has that cool textured cinematic look. However, as a former Sirui 35mm 1.3x lens owner it has a pronounced pincushion distortion. 3 things I didn’t like about it was (too sharp (using a glimmer glass filter helped), pincushion distortion and the as you mentioned the crazy harsh blue flares . But it was great start to this budget anamorphic world we are in now.

@@aram.v Agreed, hence why I'll probably skip the sirui and borrow my friends, and just buy the Remus 35mm later this year instead.

Yeah, the distortion will be hit or miss for different people. In our origional review of the set we also mention that we like how they perform on s35 because the edges can be a bit dramatic on full frame - maybe the 33mm will be the same!

Honestly, we think it’s better than the 45mm. But we think lens correction is needed for both. Personally, we wouldn’t skip.

@@ShaneVanLitz Agree mate! I am hopping that would be the case. It's a shame that we lose out on the filter thread and the same outer diameter. But if the image is similar to the OG trio on super35, I will get it.

@@TheFilmGuyOfficial if I don't already own the Nero with some really good 35mm I would still consider this. Holding for the upcoming 33mm!

@@harrykise9752 I know - I hope they make all the Catos 95mm O.D. to make it easier for us just use clamp on matteboxes instead.

Are they shimmed by hand from the initial launch? I have the first batch of amber EF sets and want to know if they were shimmed by hand?

You are very welcome! Honestly, it’s very much the Blazars! The viltrox lenses are sharper! But they are also very clean looking and don’t have a lot of anamorphic character! They are better for people who just want the resolution more than the look .

Hi very much agree. I will say though I think unfortunately the bells and whistles are the cheap part
