Neumann Films Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Just toying around with initial tests and compared the recorded frame on the GH5 to an Epic W in 8K...not too far off. It all comes down to how you process your footage but generally, it seems like it's acceptable to look at the vertical resolution and use that to determine what a good finishing window would be. For instance, in the Epic W you record 4320 pixels tall in Anamorphic mode and no one has a problem referring to this as 8K Anamorphic. If you end up scaling down the vertical resolution at all to fit the window, it's generally acceptable to have the horizontal frame scaled up a bit.

PL to M43 adapter, SLR Magic primes, SLR Magic Anamorphot, Letus adapter, countless vintage lenses. Plenty of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Lipetz Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 The SLR Magic lenses do not have a great reputation with my friends who have used them. I have not. So they complain that Vedya dropped their plans for an anamorphic set when the GH4 sensor aspect ratio changed. I really hope the revive those plans.

Flynn Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I wish Panasonic would come out with a 2x adapter. They could even slap the Leica label on it and sell it for a premium. Neumann Films 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't a huge fan of the Anamorphot adapters but I don't like using adapters so that probably had something to do with it. The primes are pretty good...lots of character but sharp enough in the center even when wide open. 3 hours ago, Flynn said: I wish Panasonic would come out with a 2x adapter.

elgabogomez Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 So, the gh5 anamorphic mode! Is it true that the full sensor is used? Or how much crop is it doing? There are many instances when composing a frame (in anamorphic) that apsc/super35 vertical field of view can be limiting, 4perf/Alexa open frame is ~18mm tall after all... Therefore the option to use the full height of the m43 sensor would encourage Indy DOPs to rent pl glass and still have wide angle hfov.

Adam Whitehouse Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Luke - do you have any idea if this mode outputs over the HDMI out? I know that such an odd resolution may not be recordable by the current crop of external recorders - i think Atomos recently said that they're unsure if they'll be able to utilise it. But i'm just wondering if it's a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tai Klyce Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I certainly hope Veydra produce 2x anamorphic primes for the GH5, but that may be a long shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Yes, the problem is lenses... no options at all, the mount is very un-adaptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzpop Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 today i can mount any lens on M4/3 system, even more than on EF or PL, i don't understand this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronChicago Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm shooting with the GH5 + 50mm 2x anamorphic this weekend. If I want to use IBIS what should I set the focal length input? keep it at 50, or go to 25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another way to think about it is that anamorphic adapters only affect the horizontal axis FoV and not the vertical axis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
