Vazen's 50mm goes wider than any other strong squeeze factor I've tested for Full Frame coverage. It's a sharp lens, with a lot of character!

Some folks correctly pointed out I had locked the corners of the video, compromising the lens breathing comparison. You're right! Here's the proper focus breathing part. It doesn't change the results. ua-cam.com/video/q5g5KYOUU4o/v-deo.html
As for why I patched the corners of the video: my teleprompter is not large enough to clear the full picture using this lens, so I shot a clean plate for the corners and used that to cover the vignetting introduced by the teleprompter. I took out the teleprompter for the focus breathing section, but in the edit I forgot to disable the mask. :)
Holy shit this looks great. I NEED.
Sameeeee
Ditto
I'm with you bro
I wish that manufacturers like Tokina and Tamron would make anamorphic lenses for full frame, as well as the camera manufacturers such as Sony, Canon and Nikon. I can't see them doing it, but it is still a wish that they would enter this niche market.
Looks crazy. I own the 40mm MFT vazen and doesn’t look anywhere as good as this
It's a super impressive lens!
I really enjoyed this. Just did a whole commercial for Mini Cooper in square mode! Also the upcoming telephoto is 135mm
This looks amazing. I won't be able to afford to buy one outright, but once the rental houses start carrying these I'm sure it will be my go-to budget anamorphic rental. Thanks Tito!
i can buy this right now if i wanted to, but im planning to buy the ursa 12k next week :(
This looks amazing brother. Very curious what the differences would be shooting this on Komodo vs the 28mm RF on Komodo?
This is my favourite footage so far Tito. This 50 looks really nice.
Looks good, but very expensive for a Chinese anamorphic.
Such a nice image.
Man those images look so beautiful!
LOVE the width. Looks like the aspect ratio for "Ben-Hur" (1959).
I like how bokeh looks on Vazens, way more soft and creamy for my taste compared to somewhat triangular busy looking bokeh on Atlas Orions.
Lovely footage, Tito! I have been loving the super wide look of shooting open gate 6k on my S1 with the aivascope and a Contax zeiss 50mm. I think I could get pretty close to as wide as this vazen setup, I have an old 45mm I haven't tried it yet with, which would get it pretty close!
I really love this set and look for your talking head part. More professional looking and high-end without trying to add the unnecessary blue rim light or having a blown out window in the background. If I had a say in it I'd keep using this set up.
Thank you! We're changing things up and trying to address exactly those issues! :P
Another incredible video and almost as incredible lens! Thank you for this content
waiting for a 35 (or 32mm) vazen 1.8x PL with baited breath!
Those white reflections aren’t a defect with the lens. You just need a matte box on it or flag it off like you did with your hand when you pointed it out.
I'm liking the look of this! might have to rent it
The Cook full frame anamorphics are a good point for categorizing these as budget but if 8K still seems high to you, try getting a set of Panavision Ultra Vistas and then we can talk.
Funnily enough, even if you had the money you couldn't buy those since panavision doesn't sell their equipment. It's all only rental
Wish The rolling shutter on cameras would just GO AWAY for good, can’t judge if it’s distortion from the lens or rolling shutter in heavy movement. Nice vid sir.
wtf are u talking about???
@@JitDawgBruhDang I have no idea.
S1H has good rolling shutter control. What you’re seeing is IBIS artifacts! Wonder if Tito remembered to turn on the anamorphic mode for ibis... a lot of camera shake on a wider lens will make that happen, you are able to turn off in body image stabilization if you want to with the s1H
This lens looks pretty good. And I like the 2.66:1 looks so 2.7:1 is just fine too.
I don't mind the vignette on the Kowa B&H. Would love to see more footage with that set up
this looks very appealing but the Sirui remains interesting for its size.
You can shoot 50mm full frame on the pre-36. I find the Nikon pancake is a lovely pair. Super compact and lightweight !
I can’t wait for your review of the new full frame Sirui !
It's just 1,6X sadly.
@@HunGerMovies yes, but better than nothing. I saw some footage, it looks promising! but I clearly prefer 2x
@@stephanes. My probléma with below 1,8 anamorphic that you can almost achieve the same look with cropping a standard MFT footage, except for the light, and oval bokeh, but the oval is not that oval either, and both can be achieve by a simple 1 dollar trick (fake anamorphic)
@@stephanes. Só to me the field of view is the most important
@@HunGerMovies ahah I did that too, with anamorfake. Yes, that's why I also prefer a 2X, I have a cinelux with a diopter that enables single focus. But sharpness is only there from F5.6 and long focal.
Looks so so nice!!
Half price in 6 months??? :) We can dream. Nice video.
It's supposed to be "Greetings! F the Salutations!"
Oh yeah does this lens cover the sensor of the Fuji gfx like the 85?
Amazing breakdown @! Are there other cameras similar in price to the S1H that allow for 6K/24 or even 6K/50/60 Open Gate recording, and pair well with the Vazen's 1.8x?
I think only Z-Cam offers an open gate full frame mode at this point.
Whoa you got an ef mount? I’m still waiting for it for my 50mm though it’s not a big deal as I keep it in PL....
Love the channel man! Probably a silly question but any idea how this lens would pair with the EVA1? Do you think I could get the S1H and the Sirui 50mm 1.6x to match without too much manipulation in post? Hoping to use this setup for a dual cam interview but this would be my first time shooting anamorphic. Considering the 85mm Vazen on the Eva as well but not sure what would pair better. Hoping you could shed some anamorphic expertise on the setup!
Open gate, like Snyder Cut !
Awesome video as always! I think the next slated is 135mm btw.. not 110mm. Also, on the earlier part I noticed quite a bit of ibis wobble - was the ibis set to 1.8x Ana mode?
Thanks! I found reports of 105 and 110mm, nothing on 135mm. :(
IBIS set to 50mm, full sensor, 1.8x. I was just extra shaky myself, running around with the camera.
The closest to this in Full frame in the price range is not Cooke...its Xelmus Anamorphics. You should check them out.
Pure awesomeness!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thnx!
amazing video thnx a lot , I have a question here, how do you monitor the squeezed image of full frame on s1h since as far as I know this camera has anamorphic option only for s35 crop ( the traditional anamorphic format) thnx a lot again, I wish I get the money for that lens one day , looks amazing ..!!!
You can enable anamorphic desqueeze regardless of using the anamorphic recording mode. :)
@@AnamorphicOnABudget thanks !!
Would the 28mm version of this be easier to focus because it's wide?
Yeah. But also quite different coverage and everything.
What does "Open Gate" mean on the S1H, is that 4:3, 6k? I own the S1H too? Great video always enjoy your content Tito!
Yes, it's the 3:2, full sensor, 6K mode on the S1H.
What PL mount adapter are you using? Great video - kinda blown away by these lenses
I'm using the Wooden Camera PL to L adapter. :)
Hey :) do you have a solution for vertical setups with anamorphics? my monitor only does horizontical desqueeze :/
I do, but it sucks: use a different monitor! Or bring your signal into OBS in a laptop and desqueeze there (which is sort of a hassle if you're actually on set)
@@AnamorphicOnABudget but which monitor offers desqueezing the y axis ? :/
The SmallHD's all offer with the latest firmware. Most cheap monitors that give you custom control of desqueeze can also be warped so they do
Rotating the monitor is also something you're gonna need to do, because most of them won't let you rotate the signal.
Do you like this one more or the Atlas Orion 40mm?
Different tools. I own the Atlas and I don't own this one. :)
What focal length zeiss lens did you use for this video?
I only used the Vazen 50mm for this video. o.O
Just wow
What is the title of that piano piece @ 1:10 ?
I'm wondering what will happen if you use the EF-RF 0.71x focal reducer with this lens on an FF sensor. How much will it vignette, and how much wider can you go? Since it covers Arri Alexa LF open gate
I don't think you can go much wider. Plus, no RF cameras can use the proper sensor height, so I think you'd end up with vignette sides and wasted vertical resolution.
The breathing part, your left and right part had a freeze frame masking, hard to tell focus breathing there.
but 110mm or 135mm for their next FF line up?
Ah! Very true. My bad. I masked out the teleprompter and the mask remained for that bit, which I did *without* the TP. I'll figure out where to upload the correct clip.
They said 110, or 105.
135
Been waiting for a review like this! So what is the field of view at 3:2 open gate? 50mm becomes _ _mm? And how about shooting full frame on a full frame sensor _ _mm?
50/1.8 = 27.8mm horizontally. Open Gate and full frame won't change the horizontal field of view, but the vertical.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Wiiiiiide - thanks!
Vazen 50mm T2.1 vs Atlas Orion 50mm T2 comparison? Their price point is extremely similar, I'd be interested to see how the 2 compare.
Same price point, different offerings and features. More of them in mechanics, servicing, availability and brand recognition than in "better image" itself.
This is also a full frame lens and the Orions are not. You can use the lf extender but you'll lose speed and probably still have vignetting at 6k open gate.
@@trevorpinnocky Yess I'm well aware, their published image circle size + Pythag. I was asking about the optical characteristics.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Thanks Tito, the images in this review looked amazing, though focusing ff 50 anamorphic does look quite a bit more difficult
Has anyone compared these with the MFT offerings? Just curious how much better these perform (IE is it worth it to upgrade). Thanks!!
They're wildly better. I've used both sets for a bit. :)
@@AnamorphicOnABudget thanks for the reply! Yeah, I have the 28 & 40 MTF and like them. I also have an S1H, so those full frames would go nicely with that.. I may keep my eyes open for used ones down the road. 8K is out of my current budget :) PS - Love your content! Big fan of anamorphic and all the knowledge and exposure you bring to the art!
hey,. what is a open gate you are taking about ??
It's using the entire sensor (3:2) as opposed to just the video area (16:9), which adds a ton of height.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget ohh ok ok !! There are new great joy anamorphic lens out you should try to review them ,.. thanks a lot for the reply 🙏🏽
what film camera are you using in this review?
Panasonic S1H.
Is that film by same lens ?
Everything in this video was shot with this one lens.
Did you map fix this entire video?
Thanks
What do you mean by "map fix"?
Meaning the distortion fix?
What lenses you would recommend for 35mm sensor (red komodo)
Probably Sirui if you're just starting out.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget the problem is Sirui doesn’t comes in PL mount officially, or even RF or EF
They have RF through MTF Services. Check my video on it!
In what aspect was this video rendered out??
2.7:1, 5832x2160px.
Great! 💯
What does Open Gate mean?
It means using the entire sensor, and not just the "video designated" area.
Got to the part about the price and I stopped...
Could fool someone into thinking it is a real cinema lens. Very good job. A little more sharpness wide open and some twerks here and there and it will be a blast. Not for my budget any time soon though
Great Joy ,.. anamorphic lens ........... check it out !!

Wow the markings are in feet and inches now!! Still shit for any other country than the US.
Also not a fan of the lack of breathing.
There is focus breathing. You edited the edges so that it doesn't appear so. The price is already good for this lens. Why be dishonest? You are reviewing a Chinese lens, not trying to be a Chinese. I mean, I'm not sure this brand is Chinese. I suspect it is because usually Chinese brands avoid telling their story and specifying their place of origin and/or manufactoring on their website.
I already addressed a comment that pointed out the edges. I got distracted on my edit. Still, no need to be racist on the comments.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget thanks for pointing that out. However, it is not racist to tell the Truth, that because their country is taken over by atheists, John 2:22 "Who rejects the Christ is a Liar" is going to be statistically and measurably true. So @bradar bradar actually told some truth. It is better not to punish him for saying something that is emprically (measurably, scientifically, sociologically, economically) true. The Tribe that made them atheist, by funding Mao in the 50s and Lenin in the 10-20s, are directly responsible for their culture massacring >200 million Christians. So the "trust" factor has vanished in their culture, which is why Trump was forced to launch a Protective Tarriffs Trade War against them, to counteract their atheist-dominated culture's dishonest business practices, which even exploits their own laborers (especially religious Chinese citizens, whom they actively persecute).
So basically, it is unjust to call bradar "racist". I hope you're not a Liberal, because that's what they do typically. (I'm not saying Conservatives are good either. It's just that Liberals tend to be more atheistic, and thus will make many Freudian slips).
That said, some years ago, thanks to your site, I got a German Rathenauer 2x anamorphic projector lens, which has the most Star Trek The Motion Picture (1979) blue flares EVER. It's not overly saturated blue like those awful Atlas's and Siriu. But it sucks because I have to always use 70mm (APS-C) or 100mm FF focal lengths to avoid barelling. Like you, I am done with adapter anamorphics. This Vazen 50mm (and 35mm soon?) might be just what I need! The anamorphic flare isn't so ugly like Atlas' and Siriu, and breathing is happily small. And ironically, it is produced by atheist China! Yay!
Imagine the price in 200 million Christian lives that Mao exterminated, before this Lens came out! And he was funded by Tribe. Look up 'The Plot Against The Church' written Anon by our Cold War Era Cardinals. Some of them got liquidated for publishing that. So whenever u call a guy "racist" for merely telling the Truth about their tragic atheism / dishonesty culture, 200 million Souls cry out to Heaven for Justice, because that only covers up their crimes. Their own citizens want Freedom from atheist Oppression there. So the best thing for all of us to do, is like bradar does--expose their dishonest business practices, which are caused by their leaders' collective atheism. Hole them accountable, and help rescue their own Citizens from the slave labor exploitation culture they run. That's why these lenses BTW, are so cheap. But we in the West, being mostly ignorant of all this, don't care. Now THAT's an Epic Film story just waiting to be told! Anyone here have the courage to do that?
You're completely right about their dishonest business practices. That's why Trump had to raise Protective Tariff's against them. They owe damages for 70+ yrs of economic cheating-us. But even their own Citizens live in fear of their atheist Leaders. So it would be nice to somehow help their Citizens break free, while demanding more honest business practices from their leaders manipulating the world currencies.
Somebody has a new girlfriend...
Wtf. That's my sister.
