valid Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Just uploaded some test shots to my blog taken with a Kowa B&H on a Voigtlander 28mm f/2.8. Check it out if you're interested :-) http://alexeymarfin.com/anamorphic-new-york-city/ Let me know what you think! nahua, andy lee, richg101 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richg101 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 that 3.5:1 ratio works so well in capturing NY. Lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valid Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Thanks! Originally I was planning to crop to 2.77 or even 2.35 but I ended up quite liking the 3.5 so began working with that in framing the shots. I also noticed that the Kowa is only 2X when focused to infinity - when focused to 5 feet (minimum distance) it is more like 1.9X stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Did you use the Impluz Kodak Vision3 500T 5219 lut? I always find it too reddish, is that stock really that red? Otherwise great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBarlow Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Yes, great stuff If you ever need to have your KOWA B&H transformed into single focus with a minimum focus of about 2ft, just let me know. ToniDove 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valid Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 @araucaria - The grade is a custom one, from a short film I'm making now. I like the Impulz LUTs, I used them as reference, though I agree that they can be a bit strong. But yeah, I boosted the red gamma in the shadows ;-) @JohnBarlow - Yeah I'm interested, can you tell me more? How does the single focus modification work? I was actually planning to 3d-print a set of custom gear wheels to rack double-focus on both Kowa and taking lens (already measured + drawn up, just need to design an extra bracket arm to mount the gears on the follow focus) JohnBarlow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBarlow Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 @valid '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> details are in the thread above. It is a custom glass/optical solution, perfectly matched to the base anamorphic. You fix the scope and rear lens and focus at the front. Contact me at the website if you want to discuss further, the link is in the thread or below in the footer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
