sam Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 pictured with 85mm Rokinon for size reference I received the Pl mount Trump 58mm T2.2 last week (38mm coming soom). It comes with the case and various aperture inserts for effects such as 1.5x 2x 3x anamorphic style bokeh, tints, shapes etc...Swapping these inserts is as simple as unthreading the rear optical cell (which is also customizable) and inserting the chosen aperture (all of which have a notch that easily aligns with a tab inside the lens). It has a 270 degree focus throw. For reference: Rokinon and most other still lenses do not even have 180.(which makes finding accurate focus more of a challenge)Smooth variable aperture from T2.2 - T16Easily converts from pl to ef via adapter.As I haven't spent a lot of time with the lens yet, I can't comment on its look and how it compares to other lenses. Check out Bob Gundu's work to get an idea of the look these lenses can create. I would also like to add that Rich asks for examples of your work so he can customize your lens to your style/taste. He noticed I used the Anamorphot 1.33 and then made a custom recessed step down ring for me to mount the slr magic Anamorphot 1.33 on the Trump. (no charge!) Great product and service! These lenses are truly a work of art. http://www.richardgaleoptics.uk/ (Richg101 for Eoshd readers) Flynn, richg101, Cinegain and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoferman Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 That looks extremely interesting. Would love to see some tests. How much?? Rich is good people. We're lucky to have him on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 I think the price is very reasonable for the Trump series. Rich also has more affordable options without the long focus throw and changeable aperture inserts. Here is my invoice to give you an idea, but he lists prices on his site as well. Each lens is different, but I will try to post a couple shots when my 1dc gets back from Canon service (could be a little while)ITEMSKUPRICEQTYSUBTOTALDog Schidt Optiks 'TRUMP58' - 58mm (Single Lens)External Finish:Gun MetalSQ6084466£1,050.001£1,050.00Dog Schidt Optiks 'TRUMP38' (Attachment)SQ1821451£700.001£700.00PL-EOS Lens AdaptorSQ9745822£110.001£110.00Subtotal£1,860.00Shipping & Handling£55.00Grand Total£1,915.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richg101 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Cute:) - looking forward to seeing some material:) - T38 should be shipped to you soon. how did the slr magic mount work out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 I have not had a chance to test it yet. Too busy! Also my 1dc lost power at a wedding today and wont turn back on. (stills only, so I used my backup cam without incident) A quick google search and it turns out there are quite a few early serial 1dx's that also have had this happen and it shouldn't be too costly.. Almost 3 years of very frequent use and this is the first problem, so I can't complain. (insured as well, so no worries) Anyways... love the lens just need more time.

Nikkor Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I think what rich is doing is great, it won't take too long until we will see hollywood movies shot on one of his lenses, I can see the alexa65 benefiting a lot from his knowledge.

Zak Forsman Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 This makes me very happy to see because aspects of your lens mirror what I ordered from Rich a week ago. I placed an order for a Trump 58 set and will be picking up the 38 and 88 soon too. Could very well shoot my third feature with it, a sci-fi revenge thriller. Can't wait! kaylee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Great craftmanship! Well done on getting one. Pretty jelly over here! Still hoping to apply for a Nikon mount Flare Factory 58 if he'd ever consider doing some again. I absolutely loved the look on that 'Olivia' video!

sam Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Thanks! Yeah I can imagine Rich is quite busy these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Forsman Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Had a chance to try it out yet? Would love to see it in action (and I've run out of videos to watch on Vimeo). kaylee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Hey Zak, this won't be very helpful for your purposes, but here's a vid I made using the Trump 58 (everthing that's not slomo). This was without any aperture inserts. Small mattebox with Tiffen colorcore 1.2 irnd with most shots around T8 on the F35. I was hoping to do some side by sides with canon/rokinons as they are a well known entity, but no way to mount them on the f35. By the time my 1dc is fixed you might just have your Trump in hand.
