Brian Caldwell Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I'm trying to find out whether the Panasonic GH5s has an anamorphic movie mode that uses the full 17.3 x 13.0mm m43 format (21.6mm diagonal). Does anybody know? The actual format size for anamorphic shooting is critical to me. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way this worked in the GH2 is that every aspect ratio was maximized to the m4/3 image circle, which would suggest to me that the 4:3 will not simply be a crop of the 16:9, like on the GH5.

Cinegain Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Would love to see a Metabones single focus anamorphic adapter in one way or another. Veydra had looked into it, but weren't sure where Panasonic would go with the next gen sensor specs. JordanWright and buggz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 It was my understanding that Veydra was designing a lens, not an adapter, and the reason they abandoned the project was because it would have cost too much (over $5,000) if they were to maintain the same quality control they had over their mini primes.

Veydra had looked into it, but weren't sure where Panasonic would go with the next gen sensor specs. I've built prototypes of an iscorama-style single-focus adapter, but its really only suitable for shorter focal lengths in the 35mm to 75mm range. Also, its a bit large, and the front element moves during focusing, which may cause some issues with matte boxes. I'm also building a second type better suited for longer focal lengths in the 75 to 200mm range. I'm still debating whether to modify these for internal focusing, which would be good for heavy-duty cine use, but would make the adapters larger, heavier, and more expensive. To be honest, I've put the adapter project on hold until I get a few focal lengths in my anamorphic prime series completed.

Yeah, they were actual lenses, though it always looked as if it was an existing Veydra lens with a huge adapter on its front, tbh, so wouldn't be too surprised if this was actually the case. I remember some interview (on YouTube?) where he mentioned that designing for a specific sensor size, might render it not to be compatible with new sensor implementations in the future. The GH4 anamorphic mode after all, was sort of a bit of a happy accident that they've implemented after the fact. Can't find for the life of me where he said that, so maybe I just dreamt that. Some vivid dream then, though. @Brian Caldwell Now, that is very very nice! Guess for now there's the http://anamorphicshop.com/product/fm-lens/ and have seen Richard Gale working on his project of the Oliviascope. Think all these have in common that they're quite bulky and need more elaborate set-ups with rails. Seems there's no way around that.

Julien416 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 @Brian Caldwell From what I gathered online, seems the 4/3 anamorphic sensor area is exaclty the same as the GH5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Yeah, if the MAR sensor is oversized for the image circle, the 4:3 AR crop would take the same dimensions as the full GH5 sensor that edges the image circle, no? The advantage really goes to 1:1, 3:2 and 16:9 ARs that get cropped from the image circle rather than from the sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I could understand, yes, for 3328x2496 and 4992x3744 native resolution, respectively, on each one of those both camera models you've just mentioned. Any idea when we''ll have your anamorphic prime series and the adapter to reach the streets? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samples of the 100mm and 32mm should be ready by the time Cine Gear rolls around. Another two (50mm and 150mm) hopefully by the end of the year. The "in-betweens", 40mm, 60mm, and 75mm will likely not appear until next year. I'm not sure about the adapter schedule yet. jonpais, Emanuel, Cinegain and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Genheimer Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I have a GH5S as of this evening. I’ll shoot some simple clips to show the MAR sensor in 16:9 modes versu in anamorphic mode to see if there is in fact an increase in vertical FOV. I can’t compare it to a GH5, because I don’t have one. elgabogomez 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buggz Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 We would have to have both the GH5 and the GH5s shooting the same target, or scene to compare the different cameras, no? I only have a GH5. Oh, and where could you upload "raw" uncompressed files to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
