ken Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I have the red Isco Ultrastar, where the anamorphic element is detachable:'> That is integrated lens. Attachment is big one, but due to big glasses, so has even higher resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahlfors Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 That is integrated lens. Attachment is big one, but due to big glasses, so has even higher resolution.I don't understand your point. But there are many factors involved for higher resolution in a lens. The gold ultra stars were called "HD" while the red ultra stars had the labeling "HD plus" - since the red ones had higher resolution. The ultra star hd plus were more expensive back in the days as well. Anyway, it's quite irrelevant, since both of them resolve very well - resolution is not an issue in 1080p nor 4k.

Cannot compare with High Difinition attachment, which has big front glasses, fits 82mm cap, 1.2kg weight. For video, like 16f, front 52mm is enough for sure. But I am not a video guy, may only one here, so pictures can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I think for ISCO integrated lens, can take off more to reduce weight. BTW, why cannot upload to "My Gallery" now, it always returns an error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Im gonna try this and loose some extra weight!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Reynard Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Do you know if this anamorphic adapter can work with the gh4 ? Thank you Pierre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Just find step up/down rings. This lens rear mount is 34mm. Smaller front glasses would work. I think FL needs 70mm(35mm equ) or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SutterCane Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 So I recently stumbled upon the VM 1.5 anamorphic lens in my searches to find one that works for my needs than my over-sized ISCO Cinelux.Has anyone tried this one out? It seems to me like this thread turned into arguing and discussion about the FM focuser. What about the actual anamorphic lens? Anybody tested it since this thread was active? Is it something one would recommend? Gabriel Copoeru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Copoeru Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 From the tests I've seen on the web, it is quite soft and has blurry edges, but at least you can focus only with the taking lens. For the price, you can't expect more, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 IMO, it is better than other big 1.5x lens, such as ????SCOPE 1.5x lens. But you have to use very small front diameter taking lens and with small cmos/ccd camera. So it is good for small DCs or even cell phones if it has not too wide angle lens.

SutterCane Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 So if I were using it primarily with a Helios 44-2 for example, I should be fine, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Copoeru Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 So if I were using it primarily with a Helios 44-2 for example, I should be fine, right?Yes, but it also depends on the camera. It has to be a small sensor one, like ken said. BMPCC, GH4, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 So if I were using it primarily with a Helios 44-2 for example, I should be fine, right?Looks like the front glass is too big. I think small front glass lens, like Canon 40mm pancake lens would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Copoeru Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Just use step down rings from the 49mm or 52mm of the helios. I've seen pics of it mounted on nikon primes, so no trouble there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SutterCane Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Well I'm using a Canon T3i, so unless I'm dumber than I think I am about all of this.... I should be alright, correct? I'm still looking around just in case, but I do want a smaller anamorphic. From the sound of it, this fits my needs perfectly so far.
