Liszon Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hey Häns, did you shoot anything new with the FM recently? (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artiswar Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Follow focus and a suitable shoulder pad will be had today. Hopefully I'll get some stuff up later in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoferman Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Correct...you could get a 105mm reversing ring to give a female thread up front to attach filters, but it does seem to make more sense to locate ND's in front of the taking lens. Thinking about it, if a Vari ND or CPL was upfront - the rotation when focusing would cause highlights and reflections to be altered by turning, so Vari ND location on taking lens is the only way it seems. (unless fixed inside a rail mounted mattebox using a filter tray adapter) I keep forgetting this darn lens rotates. hmmm interesting thanks for the info. Just sucks that i'll have to move the anamorphic further away from the taking lens glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Punk Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 hmmm interesting thanks for the info. Just sucks that i'll have to move the anamorphic further away from the taking lens glass. It's all good, a Vari ND should not be too thick to cause issues...and the Cinelux in particular seems to benefit from using a tighter lens (85/100mm + on full frame), as it's edge warp distortion is reduced - which will mean that taking lens proximity is not as critical to avoid vignette. Kowa will be the same but with no warp edges to worry about shooting through. A tighter lens when outside is much more interesting IMHO, especially when using 2x anamorphic.

Kristoferman Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Makes sense...Welp i'll give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artiswar Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Follow focus is gonna be a real challenge for this lens. The travel distance is humongous. Custom gear ring might be the only real solution here. Currently rigged up with the 50 Dollar Follow Focus from Hondo Garage. Hoped that this would aid in the long throw. Unfortunately, it takes multiple go rounds to go from minimum to infinity. I'll do some tinkering and see if I can't get it to work. https://www.dropbox.com/s/x4opfj8ysdudxvf/Photo%20Dec%2008%2C%205%2008%2005%20PM.jpg?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richg101 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Those damn ninja star aperture blades then the 85/2 is set to f2.8! Other than that, the results are really good and i like the glow. I have a feeling it might be from the cold - creating misting on one or more of the optics? Cosimo murgolo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnVid Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I wonder if there would be a need for a new housing for the FM, one with a non rotating lens arrangement Focus wheel, shorter lighter with rail mount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artiswar Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Follow focus issues solved for a VERY cheap price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Made-Seamless-Follow-Focus-Gear-for-Your-Lens-/251662099567?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a983ae46f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liszon Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Nice find, but.. ...Sorry, custom follow focus gears are not available outside the United States at this time... Ehh. Hopefully there's someone else who makes gears like this in the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoferman Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I could potentially buy them for you and re-ship them if you'd like. Liszon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artiswar Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 It shouldn't be too hard to reverse engineer. 3D printed delrin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Punk Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Nice find, but.. Ehh. Hopefully there's someone else who makes gears like this in the EU. Raf will make one for around $99, he is based in Belarus. His gears are all metal and anodized. http://rafcamera.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoferman Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I see Raf has follow focus gears for OCT-18 lomos but i've heard that OCT-18 lenses aren't FF compatible? What's the dealio? Wouldn't mind snagging some cheap OCT-18 lomos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liszon Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thanks for the offer Kristof, first I have to save up for the FM itself, haha. Cosimo murgolo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valid Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 BTW Sean (the US guy you posted) does make gears for the UK. I've ordered 3 gears from him before, one for my Kowa B&H. Just message him directly and he'll sort you out ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristoferman Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Thanks for the tests, Hans. How are you liking it in general? I think it looks fantastic, personally. richg101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richg101 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I agree. The 85 at f2 looks wonderful. it's got that look I love from anamorphics. As it gets cleaner it's still anamorphic, but not LOMO anamorphic like it looks wide open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
