@@theranchhandhey, glad the lenses worked out for you! I’m really enjoying mine. I did order the B-set and the 33mm as well, so eagerly awaiting those shipping. This is a mix of 25p and 50p with maybe 1 shot at 100p, all on a 25p timeline.

@@KevinFedde thanks for the reply. Beautiful photography and choices of movement. I am sure I’ll be following up with the 33mm as you are, as while in their office the indication was that will wrap the Remus line up. Keep up the good work.

@@JasperMeddockProductions thanks! Wanted to focus a lot on composition on this one and I think I did well.

@@EthanSi02 thanks! I think they are worth the money, super fun to use. I haven’t been able to get my hands on a focus pro yet but definitely interested to try it out.

@@TR-nw8hz they are ooooollllld and weathering away!

@@juliuschurafilms I swapped the mount over from PL to EF and used a sigma MC-11. So far I am having a lot of fun with these lenses, I got them instead of the Saturn because of how much more character they have in the image.

@@KevinFedde gotcha. Yea I’m having a dilemma with the focal lengths. A lot of the videos I like to do seem to lean toward landscape shots but idk for certain as this would be my first anamorphic lens and idk if I want/need 2 lenses.

@@juliuschurafilms I think if I were to get just 1 it might be the new 50 from the B-set. Either that or the 85. I tend to like wider but that 85 looks really nice

@@KevinFedde thank you. what was your decision making behind the lens flare choice. I would have gone neutral with sirui but with these I'm not too certain which would be closer to that, silver or amber..

@@juliuschurafilms I got blue since it’s the more traditional anamorphic flare color and I have actually been renting these lenses out to some filmmakers here in New Zealand, and the vast majority of them preferred blue. That being said even the blue flare version is very neutral and takes on the light color super well. You can see that in my couple of additional sample videos I have posted in my channel.

@@TomWalshFilm hey, I appreciate you saying that! Super fun lenses that have been pushing me forward as a videographer/filmmaker

@@KevinFedde Good to hear. Just bought the B set. Happy shooting!

@@TomWalshFilm I ordered the 33mm to go with the A set that I have. Probably will end up getting the B set too though…

Thanks! Its one of my simpler hiking videos, but I'm really happy with the flow, so I'm glad you noticed!

@@KevinFedde you aced it as usual mate!

@@patrickdizonfilms thanks! I bought them straight from the Blazar website and shipped here to New Zealand. I’m currently using the Sigma MC-11 EF-E adapter since I already owned that.

Thanks dude! Fun edit with the anamorphic lenses, more to come from that shoot.

@@johneason6540 it’s been a few years, but I think 14-15 miles sounds about right. I think it took me like 7 hours with filming/photo stoppages. I remember cruising the first 3-4 miles in the dark in like an hour and 10 minutes or so then slowing down when the sun was coming up to get photos/video. I think the road to the trailhead is open now as well, whereas it was closed when I did it so taking my bike to the actual trailhead changed the time up a bit as well.

They are super fun, really happy with them so far. Obviously they have their quirks and arent the sharpest lenses out there, but they are fun to use and that is what I have been looking for.

@@KevinFedde good to know, thanks! 🙏🏼 I’ve had the sirui saturns, but the image they produce is nothing special. I want an anamorphic lens with more character

@@KaanSenel yeah, that’s why I never got any of the Sirui lenses too. The Remus lenses have so much character, almost too much at times! I’m really happy with them

@@KevinFedde i saw they’d release some now lenses for the kit september 4th, so I think I might go for the new 33mm and the 65 of 85mm

@@KaanSenel yeah, I’ll definitely grab the 33, I’ve been wanting something wider than the 45.

@@johnmcnail3224 I don’t remember exactly since this was a few years ago. Usually for the Sawatch mountains it was between 5 and 8 hours I think. Though stopping for filming doesn’t help with that either!

@@nickjonson6996 that sounds rough! Really shows how snow conditions can differ from year to year, since our descent was fairly straightforward with barely needing an ice axe at all. Glad you all made it down safe without major injury!

@@HEARD201 heh, fair enough! This was 2 years ago so I’ve been working on that since then!

@@TheDu567 Didn’t need a permit when I did this a couple years ago!

Can you attach it to rode wireless pro without modifying it ?

@@coldway thanks! I did end up shimming the 65 and 100 a bit which I think definitely helped. I think it was +.12 for the 65 (don’t remember how much the 100 was.)

@@EricontheTrail thanks! Getting up early and going in the middle of the week helps a lot to avoid crowds.

@@ianholl9100 thanks man, appreciate you watching! I’ve been pretty happy with the images I’ve been getting since moving to Sony in 2020!

@@yoshiYoishIRL I did no distortion correction at all! I did add 1.5 sharpening in Final Cut but that’s it. Thanks!

@@KevinFedde Oh wow, now that makes me wanna buy the lens even more. I was worried about the distortion at the edge. But it seems like it doesn't matter since I'm doing mostly still shots like you! Man can't wait for the 32mm to release then I'll buy the whole set. Gonna race if 32mm release early and I buy the whole set or a better competitor comes out

@@ryantish2416 it was decently easy to follow up to the saddle between Blanca and Ellingwood. Definitely less easy to follow up to Blanca and over to Ellingwood. Then there basically isn’t a trail down from Ellingwood back.

Heh, I appreciate it! It was a fun (and difficult) one to make!

@@terangikaiwhiriakemara I bought these straight from the manufacturers website. Had to pay a bit extra in import tax before I could pick them up here in NZ and such but that’s because they didn’t charge it on purchase.

@@KevinFedde thank you

It’s a nice one! Honestly I bought it at the small outdoor shop in Westcliffe Colorado before I did Humboldt peak earlier in 2021, so I don’t know the exact brand or anything.

@@KevinFeddewow, thanks for the fast response! Hopefully I can find something similar some day lol

Thanks a ton! It’s definitely my favorite shot of the video (and it took a few tries to get it right as well.)

So far so good! Still getting to grips on the focus fall off and such, but we used them for a short film shoot and they look pretty good!

@@KevinFedde That's great to hear. Would love to see your upcoming work! Wish you well!

Heh, thanks! Pretty simple test footage but I think it gets the point across.

These were the blue flare version. The flares are actually surprisingly neutral though and they take on the light color quite a bit.

Hey, I really appreciate the kind words! Definitely missing Colorado, but enjoying the new Adventure here in NZ quite a lot!

Sigma MC-11. But only really because I already had one and my Nisi PL mount adapter was taking quite a while to be delivered here to New Zealand.

Thanks!

It was pretty nice that morning in real life too!

They turned out pretty well I would say

Yep, blue flare version. It seems to pick up the light color quite a bit, though. So the sunset shots later are very warm flares.

Thanks! Really wanted to focus on composition on this one, and I think I did all right.

@@KevinFedde Well done 💪

Thanks! I wanted to really focus on the composition with this since it’s entirely shot from a tripod. I did get the full set of 45/65/100. So far I definitely like the look of them, though I’m also still working on getting the back focus correct for the lenses since I think the focus isn’t quite where it should be. Still working on learning how they work before hopefully using them on a film competition here in a couple weeks!

@@KevinFedde any lens you feel like you gravitate more to? Always interesting to hear preferences/learning curves coming from spherical. (granted i know you've used tilt shifts and other mroe specialized lenses) Also can't wait to see what you make for the cometition, keep it comig man. Glad you've kept filming in different evironments and gear and not pigeoned holed yourslef.

@@DerekAndersonMedia 3 days in I’m liking the 45 the most. I thought it would be the 65 but I am realllly liking the wide frame! Plus I think the focus is best on it. I think the main thing I have been learning is that horizontal lines are VERY important. Any slight tilt of the horizon is way more noticeable and harder to correct.

The trail up from the water tank at the top of the service road. It kind of curves around to the north of the tank before heading west up the mountain. I don’t remember the exact trail name/number since it’s been a while!

Thanks, I’m mostly pretty happy with this! And Yep, this was the whole frame. Since this was just some initial test footage I wanted to show what the full image looks like. I’ve got my shinobi set to 2.39:1 already for my next set of tests today. Thanks for watching!

​@@KevinFeddedoes this mean you desqueezed then cropped?

@@Kxngbxny in this case it has just been de-squeezed, no additional crop. Since it was my first time using them I wanted to see the full image.

Hey, no worries! 1. You are correct, the tentacle sync cable wasn’t out yet. I prefer that cable now 100% and picked up 5 of them when they came out. 2. Final Cut on my end does see the timecode data, but I found it faster to use the tentacle app to sync and export a timeline anyways than to wait for Final Cut to do the sync. 3. Yeah, same thing with the Sony BNC cable. Final Cut did see the timecode embedded but it was way faster to just use the tentacle sync app than to wait for Final Cut to sync.

@@KevinFedde hmm weird. Maybe it's because I am using a Sony s7siii they recently release timecode in through multi port. thanks for that info.

@@amidfilms989 yeah, the A7siii couldn’t input file timecode until the latest 3.0 update. Were you trying to get timecode into it via the multi-port before that? All of the stuff above I was using the FX3 and FX30.

@@KevinFedde No after the update. That’s the reason I started testing them out hoping I could sync using timecode in Final Cut. Sometimes I shoot 120 so after using the tentacle sync app in my meta data of fcpx it says it’s 29.97 even though I can still slow it down. So it’s a bit of an annoyance. Thanks for the info!

@@amidfilms989 Yeah, I don’t think there is a timecode standard for 120p. You do need to set the frame rate in the tentacle sync E to match your cameras frame rate (and your audio frame rate,) to get a good sync as well.

Fair enough.
