tosvus Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Ok, let me preface this with the notion that most people seem to use these with 1080p dslrs/mirrorless cams. Now with Blackmagic coming out with a 4K camera for $4K, it seems an easier/better route to crop in the 4K material than buying expensive lenses/diopters and making it all work. Any thoughts on this? I suppose one problem is that you need wider lenses, but anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elubes Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 If im understanding the question correctly, you're just talking about 2.40 or greater aspect ratio? There isn't a substitute for anamorphic lenses, no matter what resolution camera you have, where you get the kind of flares/bokeh/and especially that dreamy cylindrical distortion you get in the background.

tosvus Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Thanks both of you. That makes sense. I was really coming at it from best use of resolution, practical usage etc, but there clearly are artistic/visual elements that come into play. I will check out "parker"!

silvertonesx24 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 To me, it's all about the anamorphic bokeh. Standard bokeh makes me think of a Dunkin Donuts commercial. Anamorphic bokeh makes me think of a painting. Caleb Genheimer, Tito Ferradans and tosvus 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito Ferradans Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Dunkin donuts! HAHAHAHAH! Brilliant, specially if you're using mirror lenses. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsan Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 But most of the anamorphic lenses that we use will cover huge 4k sensor? Or we will get fair amount of vignetting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosvus Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 But most of the anamorphic lenses that we use will cover huge 4k sensor? Or we will get fair amount of vignetting? 4k doesnt dictate sensor size. The new blackmagic 4k camera has a super32 sensor which is very close to aps-c in size.
