AIVASCOPE 1.5x anamorphic lens, 2nd hands-on GH4

after this two tests :
vimeo.com/341289409
vimeo.com/342429735

this is my third film test 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 3rd movie you will see different shots done with (aperture wide open) :
GH4 4K uhd (no CC) 24p + Aivascope 1.5x anamorphic lens
Primes : Pentax-m 40mm pancake f2.8 at f2.8
(most of the time) Pentax-m 40mm + 2x vintage Telemore95 II at f2.8
Sicor-XL MC 28mm f2.8 at f2.8 Despite the fact the Pentax-m 40mm is less wider than the others, I like the result with it. The TELEMORE95 II 2x lens converter (bought 3€ on a flea market) does missed sharpness to the 40mm from Pentax (and the Aivascope), and I loose maybe 2 stops with it.

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.
Thanks for watching.
