If you’ve watched the review above, you should now be pretty familiar with what IronGlass Amber PL Set is all about, but for those who want to know more, here is some additional info about each lens in my set in case you are not familiar with them. My set consists of 6 lenses:…
My Anamorphic Lenses | Adapters | Solutions
Over the last few years I’ve been lucky enough to own and review quite a few anamorphic lenses and adapters. I’m often asked which one I would recommend, but everyone has different needs, so instead of pointing people at half a dozen different posts, I decided to put together a post that includes all the…
KOWA Vidoscope REVIEW | Affordable 2x Anamorphic Lens
KOWA – a very popular name in anamorphic community. KOWA anamorphics usually represent a great image quality & amazing flares, but that comes at a hefty price tag. In this review I’ll be taking a closer look at what might be the cheapest KOWA anamorphic lens, so let’s see if it deserves the KOWA name!…
Using Angenieux 12-240mm F3.5 on BMPCC/S16 | In-Depth Review
This post is aimed at people shooting with S16 cameras and/or S16 crop modes. A few days ago I’ve met up with Edward from EKOEcamera to test the mighty Angenieux 12-240mm F3.5 that he just finished working on. This post wasn’t suppose to be an in-depth review, but I guess I just have a lot…
Using Angenieux 9.5-57mm F1.6-2.2 on BMPCC/S16 | In-depth REVIEW
In this post we continue to look at various lenses for BMPCC (and upcoming Super16 replacements from BlackMagic). Over the last few years I’ve been collecting various 16mm (film format) and Super16 lenses to see what works best and also offers best value for money. Among these, there are plenty of little Angenieux zooms that…
PENTAX-A SMC 50mm F1.2 Review
Pentax-A SMC 50mm F1.2 is an interesting lens. It’s one of those lenses that you either love or hate. Being an F1.2 prime, it’s not the cheapest vintage lens out there and even in comparison to other 50mm F1.2 vintage primes it’s quite pricey (average price is around $550), so it’s better be good, right?…
SANKOR 16F Anamorphic Lens REVIEW
I’ve very excited to finally share this post with you guys. Some time ago I came across an Instagram user SAMAMORPHIC, who produces some of the most beautiful, atmospheric and dreamy anamorphic content. Eventually we got taking and I found out that Sam uses a Sankor 16F (an anamorphic lens that is new to me)…
Tamron 24-48mm f/3.5-3.8 REVIEW
Tamron Adaptall-2 24-48mm f/3.5-3.8 might sound like an average vintage lens with unamusing focal range, especially on a Super35 camera, but it’s actually not your average zoom. The 24-48mm is actually a respected lens which performs beautifully on full frame cameras, making it a great wide-to-mid range zoom. When used on a full frame camera…
OPTEX / CENTURY 16:9 1.33x Anamorphic Lens Review
Welcome to my second Anamorphic Lens Review. In my first review I shared my take on PROSKAR-16, which was the first anamorphic lens/adapter I bought myself, but this time I will be reviewing one of my more recent additions, the OPTEX / CENTRURY 16:9 1.33x Focus Through Anamorphic Lens/Adapter, which I think as a…
INDUSTAR 50-2 50mm F3.5 Pancake Lens Review
Industar 50-2 is the lens that I meant to buy a long time ago. A lot of photographers and cinematographers around already have one of these and that got me wondering what all the fuss is about. The first thing that you notice about this lens is its tiny size and yet it will work…
