AIVASCOPE 1.5x anamorphic lens, 1st hands-on

https://vimeo.com/341289409

I just had the chance to film with the new Aivascope 1.5x anamorphic lens on my Panasonic GH4.

It’s a very sharp lens working great with some of my primes. It’s a single focus lens (you do the focus on it and let the prime on infinity)

In this movie you will see different shots done with :

GH4 4K uhd (no CC) 24p

Lumix 20mm f1.7 btw f1.7 and f4

Pentax-m 40mm pancake f2.8 at f4

Sicor-XL MC 28mm f2.8 at f5.6

 

Despite the fact the Pentax-m 40mm is less wider than the others, I like the result with it and the Avaiscope.

 

I’ve used a Dorr variable ND lens, on the GH4 the picture mode is on « portrait » with slight ajustments.

I did no color corrections at all.

I will do some test on full frame camera later.

Thanks for watching.

would have liked to see a shot at night to see the bokeh shape and more flares

I will do it on a next test. Thanks

Looks pretty sharp. Apparently, it was optimized for full frame sensors, so it can handle M4/3 no sweat. The built-in focus gear, close focus and non-rotating front makes it more practical than the Iscorama ever was. Looks like a win!

[SebYT]

Whoa so this is basically like a modern day Iscorama? Sweet

Quite nice. Thanks for posting. How does it feel? IS everything smooth and robust? Anything that gives you any concern yet?
