There was nothing interesting for me in the discounts, but I found something else I liked.... *sigh* I thought I'd just have a quick look for 85mm lenses, and I found some Rokinon 85/1.4 lenses. Then I couldn't remember what the killer lens was from @BTM_Pixs advertisments for alchoholism lens tests, and for the 85mm lineup it was..... On 3/14/2019 at 1:18 AM, BTM_Pix said: CONCLUSION ? My own view is its not really worth pixel peeping between the Samyang 85mm f1.4 and Contax Zeiss 85mm f1.4 when they are as close as this. The Samyang though.....bargain. and the 24mm tests for a little triangulation.... On 3/17/2019 at 4:42 AM, BTM_Pix said: CONCLUSION ? Less contrast on the RPP makes it look a bit smoother but we again we are quite a fair way from night and day differences. The Samyang though.....bargain. So this leads me to the question - is Rokinon 85/1.4 the same as Samyang 85/1.4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Samyang is also sold by resellers as Rokinon, Bower and Walimex. webrunner5 and kye 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff CB Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I don't think I have posted this before, mainly because I look terrible in it. Several years ago I used the Tokina 28-70 and a SLR Magic anamorphot together and on a super35 sensor (Samsung NX1) and it worked. It gave a very pleasant look as well. I'm wondering if using the new SLR magic adapter would enable it's use on full frame. If so that would be a full frame anamorphic zoom for ~$2000. mercer, TurboRat, heart0less and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the color of your videos/grabs. I tend to always try to add some kind of BS stylized grade although I prefer a natural “cinematic” look. What camera was that shot with?

homestar_kevin Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 That looks great! this is the SLR magic 2x or 1.33x? These are the ones with the 62mm rear thread? Any clamp or anything, or just a step down ring on the lens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestar_kevin Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Love it, it really does looks great! Already own the tokina and a rangefinder, may have to save up and snag one or the SLR anamorpics. Geoff CB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you still need a single focus like a Rapido if you use an SLR Magic anamorphot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Goodwin2 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 One of my gripes with the OM to EF adapter is that it does not lock the OM lens into place, my lens is kind of loose on it, which bugs me when I try to adjust my aperture or when I take it off the camera. Focusing and zooming is not an issue though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focusing and zooming is not an issue though. Yeah adapters aren’t as good as Edmika conversions. I’ve found that KF Concept is the best adapter for EF. But if you really like the lens, you may be able to find a permanent Leitax adapter for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kye Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Great shots @mercer - I do enjoy the 35mm framing. Are you playing with the colours before you convert to B&W? You probably are but just in case you're not it can really create great contrast mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a hobbyist, I don’t have a lot of time to practice, so unfortunately it’s been a slow path but it’s good to hear I’m going in the right direction.
