Flynn Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Do you have any vids taken on the A7s (or another full frame camera) with one of your lenses with an oval aperture and a 1.5x anamorphic that you think do a good job of replicating the feel of a 2x?

Tito Ferradans Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I'll be shooting something like this, with the 5D3 this week, if the weather helps. for other reviews so far, youtube.com/tferradans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Sweet Tito. I remember you saying in a recent vid you were going to add an oval aperture to a Canon lens. Do you plan on posting the footage? I'm a recent subscriber to your YouTube channel and have enjoyed the vids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Forsman Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Haven't tried it myself but always imagined a taking lens with a 1.5x oval aperture + a 1.33x anamorphic might be a good combo for simulating 2x bokeh and flaring without losing too much sensor real estate in achieving a 2.39:1 frame. For example a DSO FF58 with 1.5x oval aperture and an SLR Magic 1.33x Anamorphot might be an interesting set.Pretty sure my math checks out:100% image width / 1.5 = 67%67% / 1.33 = 50%50% = 2x horizontal squeeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To achieve a more pronunced oval bokeh using 1.33x anamorphics? My Helios arrived yesterday and I already figured how to open it, now i just need to make some apertures. It sucks that I don't know the name of the plastic or metal I need, but I'll sort this out during the weekend. hahaah Flynn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Forsman Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I used to stick oval apertures on the back of old nikons. drew them up in adobe illustrator and had them made here... https://www.ponoko.comI'm sure there are others. they charge too much for brass so i've only gotten them made in black acrylic or delrin.I have six Helios 44-2 lenses arriving tuesday. looking forward to cracking them open and making a general mess of things.

Just stack two front grass together, and rear glass together. Then the total ana lens won't be so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
