  1.   It's a mechanical vignette, like in the article linked by tosvus:     Oftentimes when I am using a lens combination that is right on the edge, I can literally see the inner barrel of my anamorphic past f/5.6 or f/8.
  2. Okay, now they are just showing off. Pretty funny though.
  3. Thanks, Rich. I had the Jupiter 8 at one point but I seem to recall that the lens front rotated when focusing.   I'll take a look at the Voigtlanders!
  4. This has a really nice look to it. I've always felt that the Isco Ultra Star lenses are too quickly dismissed. Thanks for sharing.
  5. Neat-o! And it's definitely still working when you hit the record button? If so then Panasonic are shooting themselves in the foot by putting out incorrect information.
  6.   Unfortunately that feature is only for stills as well:   https://vimeo.com/71842828   Skip to about the 3:00 mark.
  7.   It wouldn't be. I would love to be wrong, but it looks like it's DOA for video unfortunately. 
  8.   There aren't really any great options in the current Lumix line unfortunately. The closest would be the Lumix Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm lens, but it's quite expensive and really not that small.   Here's the Contax Zeiss Tessar 45mm f/2.8 on the GH1: http://www.flickr.com/photos/minami/2056992804/   Best option that I have found so far.
  9. This question is ultimately for a lens to pair with my anamorphic lenses, but it applies to non-anamorphic shooters as well so I have posted it outside of the anamorphic forum.   Looking at adapters, it appears the shortest flange distances (and thus, adapters) are C-mount, Contax, M39, and Pen F in roughly that order.   My only criteria is that the lens would need to be at the very least 45mm (maximum 85mm), and with a non-rotating front -- you'll see that this eliminates most "pancake" lenses.   The M39 Industar 50 (50mm f/3.5) and Contax Zeiss Tessar 45mm f/2.8 look like good options, but I'd like to start a discussion and see if anyone knows of any other good options.
  10. How does IBIS compare to the image stabilization built into certain EF and Lumix lenses? It looks as though it may be smoother, but that may also be a result of the 29.97fps, which I don't see very often at the shallow depth of field you have here.
  11. Caleb from DSLR Video Shooter has a review unit being sent to him from B&H. I'm sure that he's not the only one. His reviews have mostly been about gear throughout the years. I can't remember him ever doing a camera review, but he's thorough and utility-focused. His website: dslrvideoshooter.com
  12. I tried it with my Tokina ATX-Pro I 28-70mm f2.8 and it would not hold focus through the focus range.
  13. @xenogears I was wondering the same thing. I came across this from user "woolhats" over on Personal-View: http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/6788/panasonic-g6-topic-gh2-replacement-camera/p18 As someone who rarely shoots without an HDMI monitor, this is a dealbreaker for me. It does seem like a nice camera otherwise.
  14. Thanks for the write up. How's the color banding situation with the G6?
  15.   Looks like the stock spherical lens provided with a Schneider anamorphic projection lens. No stretch here.   Looks like you got a steal on the Sankyoscope though.
  16. Getting the front ring off was tricky for me. I tried bare hands, latex gloves, and finally rubber-dipped gardening gloves. That worked perfectly. You just have to push into the ring and turn your wrist.   As far as adding a new stopper, unless anything has changed since Rich and I were talking about doing this, you can't really add one. It would stick out too far past the edge of the plastic to allow you to achieve infinity focus anymore.
  17.   This is an interesting idea and I have a feeling that you may be right on the money. Unless there is a strong blue coating on my anamorphic lenses, I have found that they tend to flare green when used with my old Nikkors as well. I don't dislike the look, but your theory would explain where it is coming from.
  18. Short of a DIY super-glue solution that may or may not fix the problem (but will almost certainly make the lens uglier), I'd recommend having it serviced by a professional. This thread has some options: http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/926-the-anamorphic-lens-repair-thread/
  19. Without forcing it, will the striped part easily screw all the way off (or at least to the point where you can see some of the threading beneath)?
  20. This is hilarious. Please keep going.
