lensflaredave Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 My name is David, lives in Sweden. Fond user of anamorphic lenses. I actually has this place to thank for that. It was 2011 i got hold of a good Kowa 16H. After some research. My, like everybody else's idea, was to film with it.. But it was pretty hard holding a camera and focusing the two lenses at the same time. So i had to rethink my shoots and mix anamorph lenses where it was needed and use normal lenses for faster work. So i´ve managed to get hold of a another Kowa. My idea was to combine the two with a normal lens and a wide one, so it went faster to change lense on set. Well.. it didnt work out so good. So far i´ve made one musicvideo and one shortfilm (with one scene) with the Kowa. Then i got hold of another anamorph lens. Looks like an Optex, except there is no name on it. And it lacks a focusring. I haven't used it so much, yet. I guess these lenses can't fucus near. This one works ok on two meters aprox. Anyway. I've started using the Kowa more on still pictures, like this one. http://www.graphwizz.se/peking.jpg The sharpness and the level of detail is pretty awesome for photos. Im going to take some photos of that other, no-brand Anamorphic lens. Maybe you guys here can help me shed some light on it. /David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
