Thanks Enny, I'm very happy having this combo ! :)

Hi my anamorphic friends ! Here are some new stuff taken with my favorite light and sharp anamorphic combo. Tell me what you think ! Thanks for watching !   https://vimeo.com/78594325     This movie has been shoot a week-end mid october in Bordeaux, and first week-end of november in the countryside.  I'm glad to have now I think the perfect anamorphic set combination for my baby Hypergonar anamorphic lens. I bought few weeks ago a used Qioptiq C-mount lens, usually used in industry. This lens is very sharp, even at it's fastest aperture (f1.6) and this wide aperture is still usable with the anamorphic on it ! Some of the shot of the movie had been taken at f1.6.   The Filick'r album : flickr.com/photos/43243778@N04/sets/72157636631334626/   It was not possible to screw directly the anamorphic lens on the Qioptiq prime lens because the front barrel is turning when you focusing. So I ordered a special machined flat step up ring to attach the two lens. I've unscrewed the ring on the Qioptiq that is maintening the glass, and replace with the special machined flat ring. Then I screwed on it the original small Berthiot clamp that can align the anamorphic lens. Then I put the baby Berthiot hypergonar in it. The combination suits perfectly ! The weight of this anamorphic combo is quite light. The Hypergonar weight is 57 grams, the clamp maybe 20 grams, the Qioptiq is 210 gram, then the two filters (diopter + variable ND) and step up rings maybe 150 grams. So the total is around only 400 grams ! And finally using the OM-D with it's 5 axis stabilization system with an anamorphic combo is very useful !

UPDATE FOR SALE HERE, end on this monday the 16th of december 2013 :   http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=111235510675&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649         UPDATE : PRICE DOWN, but NO MORE ! ;)   Cine-NIKKOR 10mm f1.8   For sale !!!    http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=111235510675&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649     You can't miss this opportunity, this is a very good lens for your Blackmagic camera or your Blackmagic pocket camera ! You will have a fast and wide lens !!! This 10mm is a 24mm on BMPCC eq. in FF format !!! And it won't vignetting !!! (see picture number 2) You can also use it on M43 systems (GH1,GH2,GH3,OMD) but you will have vignette, or you can use it in ETC mode to avoid it. There is a filter thread (maybe 40.5mm) so you can use filters on it (like ND variable filter). Weight is 145gr. All metal made.   Here is a test done with it on GH2. You can notice that the minimum focus distance is very short (30cm)   https://vimeo.com/19586547   the lens is in good condition due to its age. Some trace of use on the barrel (7/10), few dust, no oil on the blades, few fungus, damaged coating. The glass is 5/10 (see last picture), but apparently it's not affecting the final image. Aperture rings and focus are very smooth (10/10). Sorry there is no front and rear caps. You will need an adapter from C-mount to your system to use it (not included) -no need to modify the rear barrel, and of course it is focusing up to the infinity.

Thanks Christina, and you also do nice imagery of your son ;)

Thanks Jorge :)

Thanks Matthias !

here is the movie done with this set :   https://vimeo.com/77265744

merci Yiannis !  I had a small f clamp for your lens but it was not very perfect... Maybe you can find with REDSTAN Don't forget to use diopter !

Thanks Chris ! And now we pray that Panasonic will get this patent for the upcoming GH4 :p

https://vimeo.com/77265744     This movie has been shoot during thursday 18th of october 2013, from the morning to the end of the afternoon, bringing my daughter at school, then filming with my students at university, then taking my daughter from her school.  I'm glad to have now I think the perfect anamorphic set combination for my baby Hypergonar anamorphic lens.

I had it for a while, it's quite good, but under my baby hypergonar. Anyway I'm sure you will do nice things with it. I did a movie between your lens and the baby Hypergonar :   https://vimeo.com/41352674

Thanks @Paulio ! Let us know when you will have this set !

Hello everybody, here is my new anamorphic set ! :) baby Berthiot Hypergonar anamorphic 1.75X lens Qioptiq Linos MeVis-C 35mm f1.6 C-mount lens I've order a special machined step up flat ring, then unscrew from the C-mount lens the ring that maintains the glass, then replace by the flat ring. I've screwed the original Berthiot small clamp, then screw and aligned the anamorphic. This combination of these two lenses seem to be very promising. Sharpness and no vignetting :) Here is the set and two pictures taken with it on my OMD (video is coming soon). Thanks for your attention. http://www.flickr.com/photos/43243778@N04/sets/72157636631334626/

I had it for two weeks and sold it back... The sharpness is not good, the baby Hypergonar or the baby Iscomorphot are better 

  PM sent :)

Or french perfumes ? :)

  https://vimeo.com/75065010 I've found this incredible C-mount lens on Ebay for 150€. It's a LINOS MeVis-C 35mm 1.6 C-mount lens made by Qioptiq. It's an industrial lens, usualy sold for 1090$ (pstechnik.de/en/optics-c-mount.php). The 35mm is designed for 1'' sensor. It has been used in some of the shots of Slumdog Millionaire.  I'm looking for a solution to use it with my anamorphic lens my baby Hypergonar. I did some fast test and it's very promising !!!!!

  Thanks nahua, yes this stabilization system is a killing !

  Thanks Rich I do appreciate your opinion :)

I've also filmed at 1/50. Thanks for your comments. 

Spring 2014, they plan to ship before Photokina 2014... What do you mean by smooth ? All is in 30P, taken at fast aperture.

https://vimeo.com/73514319   I've just had for few days the prototype of the upcoming SLR Magic 17mm T1.6 lens in micro 4/3 mount. This lens reminds me the one from Voigtlander the 17mm f0.95 I test once (vimeo.com/43570385)   Despite it's a T1.6, the SLR is a very fast lens, and I had to use strong ND filter on it to be able to use it at it's fastest speed at 1/50 shutter speed. This lens is a prototype so I can't show it, but this model looks quite like the 25mm T0.95 from SLR. It has also a no click aperture ring. Most of the shot of the movie are taken at T1.6, and you can see the very good sharpness of the lens, even at its fastest aperture.   SLR Magic told me that : "this is a SLR Magic CINE designation lens and not a HyperPrime lens so it is made for the budget indie filmmaker. It is in the same series as our 35mm T1.4 CINE II lens. Price of the production 17mm T1.6 lens is TBA (to be announced). The SLR Magic CINE 17mm T1.6 will have the same mechanical build as our 35mm T1.4 CINE II lens that repeatable focus. The 35mm T1.4 CINE II lens will be compatible with our upcoming 1.33x Anamorphic adapter but the 17mm T1.6 will not be on the compatible list. Field curvature effects causing softness at extreme when focusing at close focus distance were put into consideration during lens design and edge sharpness should be quite sharp even when wide open. Light falloff during wide open aperture is well controlled."   I have use the OMD E-M5 from Olympus. I've bought recently this camera because I was really impressed by the movie of Andrew Reid, where we can see the proficient internal 5 axis stabilization system.  It was quite hard for me to use this new camera. Two main problems have appeared : 1- I found that the contrast in classic image mode are very strong, the black are too black to my opinion (I've used the Natural mode). Then I decided to change the mode and I've used the Art filter 3 (ton neutre et lumineux, I suppose in english it's "neutral and bright tone") to have less strong blacks. But this mode gives green rendering (and the ND add it too), so I try to color corrected it. That's why you have two mode in this movie, the Art filter 3 is in the countryside and seaside shots. I did light color correction in quite all the clips. 2- The second problem is the using of ND filter on OMD with the stabilization. At the begining of my shooting I was using a variable ND filter from Cokin. The problem is that there is slight vigneting when you are closing it. And this vigneting is moving because of the stabilization. You can see this issue in some of the shot, the traveling with the girl with the yellow bag, for example.Then I decided to use another ND filter, not a variable, the Hoya NDX400. With a constant ND filter, the problem of the "moving vigneting" disappear. But it's less easy to use. Especially with the OMD that has less efficient dynamic range than the GH3. Anyway despite this problems I have discover with my first use of the OMD camera, I'm really impressed by its internal stabilization sytem, for example it allowed me to do these shot from the car in the small roads of north Ireland, with a third part lens such as this SLR Magic 17mm T1.6.  I'm really happy using this lens, it is a good experience and it's useful to have a fast 17mm, especially when you think that 25mm is not enough wide, and 12mm too wide.   Olympus OMD E-M5 SLR Magic 17mm T1.6 (prototype) 1080P 30 "Natural" and "Art 3 bright and neutral" modes Variable Cokin ND filter NDX400 ND filter from Hoya edited on Adobe Premiere CS6 CC on Premiere   Music (mash up) : Midlake "The Courage Of The Other" King Crimson "In The Court Of The Crimson King"

I don't think so... There is always two lenses, the prime then the anamorphic. By the way the baby Hypergonar weight 57 grams !
