Wow! Okay your footage is the best I have seen with this lens set!
I very like a look of blazers, Just ordered set for my Ursa 12k
Thank you! Would love to see a video with them stopped down, comparing sharpness like in your last test. Also how they perform on like a bmpcc4k with speedbooster.
Hi, we did it, It makes a difference but not massive plus you start to lose the anamorphic look We can post an example to the Facebook group if you like!
When you guys say neutral flair. Are you guys talking about the silver flair option on their website?
@@danielvidalesyt yes when we were at the lens we were told it was a called a neutral flare! not silver!
Also, at the time we made this there were only blue / amber flair options available - they added silver / neutral based on feedback from us and others ;)
Thank you! Just ordered the 85mm silver 🙏🏽
45mm at full frame distortion looks too much for me. 65mm at 2.8 maybe sweetest spot
The 45mm is definitely our least favourite for this reason!
1. Can you combine speed booster with a variable adapter?
2. For example the Mophage Poco Variable ND adaptor with Metabones Cine speed booster on a Red Komodo-X?
I would really appreciate any evidence based answer you can give.
@@pixsturefilms no sorry! These adapters rely on the distance between the sensor and the lens to be exact you wouldn’t have enough space for both
100% no. Unfortunatly there are no adaptors that mount like you describe and if you could make it happen it would create a macro extention tube effect where you'd only be able to focus close up. Also macro tubes like that are not compatible with anamorphic lenses because flange distance (space from the rear of the lens to the camera sensor) is super important in getting sharp images with anamorphic. It'd be completely unusable. If you want a speedbooster you need internal camera nd or front filtration from screw on nds or a clamp on mattebox.
Does it looks and work well with Blackmagic poker 6k S35 ,
Video was very useful and informative ❤❤
Yes works well! We actually like them more as s35 lenses!
Can you provide more footage/stills of the neutral flare ones in different non RGB color light sources?
Been struggling to decide between that and the blue flare ones which looked not super saturated and natural in a lot of tests
We will be releasing a dedicated video for the 35mm which has the coating. Until then all the shots of the girl on the roof with the flaring is that lens!
Was the shot at 5:39 the 65mm? thanks for the great comparison and information!
yes
Great review! If you could only choose one, what would it be?
If you shoot full frame probably the 65mm
If you shoot s35. the new 35mm
@@TheFilmGuyOfficial Sexy advice
The 45mm, it is the most usable. ❤
@@waynosfotoscameras i disagree! it top and bottom of the frame are soft and smudgy so you have to bassicly but your subject in the dead center to use it.
CVP reported about a 33mm T1.6 FF lens, also, but I haven't heard anything from anyone else about it. I'd love a wider focal length to go with the original 3!
We mentioned it via text on the screen in this video!
It won’t be out till later in the year, but we will update you guys with a preview video when it does come out!
Oops! 🤦🏽♂️ I watched it while brushing my teeth and missed it! @TheFilmGuyOfficial
@@v3blaxican well, at least your teeth are clean! Thats the important thing haha
How does the Blazar Nero compare to the Blazar Remus?
they have the same internal optics so very simular.
@@TheFilmGuyOfficial Wow. That's super exciting. I don't think there's a comparison anywhere on UA-cam. Could be a great video idea. Thank you again for the response.
I have the Great Joy 50mm, but your opening montage persuaded me I need at least the 35mm Remus for my BMPCC6k Pro. The one thing that puts me off is the shimming: I'm just a guy at home with no lens projector and some sample footage I have seen elsewhere looked really very bad-like one of those cheap plastic lomo lenses.
Thanks! You can use the video tutorials Blazar have to shim without a projector, but it's still our opinion that you try find a rental house or similar where you can use a lens projector to check calibration. It's so much easier and nothing is better than being sure your lenses are operating at their best!
Hey there :)
Thank's a lot for your videos!
You also reviewed the Viltrox Epic Anamorphics. After using both, which set do you prefer?
You are very welcome! Honestly, it’s very much the Blazars! The viltrox lenses are sharper! But they are also very clean looking and don’t have a lot of anamorphic character!
They are better for people who just want the resolution more than the look .
Hey, I have these on preorder. Wondering if you had to do any shimming on the lenses? Footage looks amazing and I love the character out of these. Also is most of the footage 3:2 and de squeezed? I'm on the Lumix s5iix and curious how it'll match up.
Thanks!
We have a whole section in the video talking about shimming. I encourage you to watch it!
I would say most of our footage is 16:9
But we have some 3:2 shots in there also!
Mostly because the majority of cameras we have access to don’t shoot 3:2
Plus there is less cropping involving.
@@TheFilmGuyOfficial No idea how I missed that. Thanks for the info
@@BrendonKPadjasek glad you found it!
Today I got my 65mm Amber and I was surprised how sharp it is on T2.8, I easily can get image in focus on the RED V-Raptor VV. Probably latest instances of this lenses have better sharpness by default from manufacture and do not required shimming. But they definitely softer then DZOFILM Vespid for example.
Could be, but across our two sets some needed shimming and others didnt. I'd still take them to a lens projector for peace of mind personally.
I might have budget for one lens to purchase, which one would you recommend? I have a red Komodo with a speed booster.
Generally, I wouldn’t recommend just spending all your money on one lens. It’s better to save.
But if you can only get one! I’d say the 33mm that is coming out soon!
amazing video. it is a bit unusual to have only one focal length for s35, but I guess they will add some more.
I think I still prefer Laowa Nanomorph lenses tho. How would you compare them?
I’m not actually sure that’s what they’re going to do. I think it’s more that they think a lot of people will use these specifically on S35 cameras to avoid the strong edges.
For them the 35mm makes sense.
Can’t wait to see their new lenses Blazar Cato.
Same we are so excited! Hopefully we should get them also!
Is this guy wearing a wig?
@@TyaJo-qz2jv haha no that’s just his hair!!
Thanks for the review! You always make my buy stuff I don’t need but after seeing your footage I want it hahaha
3:53 I have the remus too but basicall every flare hast a green secondary flare which i do not like that much. in that shot that is not the case how did you do that ? and do you sometimes have the green secondary flare too ?
@@bommelsstuff1109 hey we do get them occasionally most lens manufacturers use a coding these days to reduce CA and oversensitive flaring which tends to make things go green. I assume that’s going on here. That being said in the shot you are referencing we didn’t use an an ND filter! Which can also cause the green flaring depending on the brand
I actually just went to their office in Los Angeles and picked up a set of three. Very excited to give them a try as I am shooting a small doc overseas in a couple of weeks and wanted to experiment. I think the new lens that they have coming is an 85 rather than a 35 as they were speaking about it being available already. Anyway, great video and excited to own a set of these alongside of some more vintage spherical lenses I own
@@theranchhand thanks man glad you got a set and are excited to see what they can do!
It’s all about experimenting and creating. Shot one feature as a director with Kowa anamorphic but this will be my first personal set and excited to capture rural Taiwan in a new way.
The 35mm has been out for a while and the 85mm just came out. There is also a 33mm full frame coming.
when does the 35m release?
We arnt aloud to say! But soon
Thank you for the great review. Have you maybe tested them with dropin filter adapters like the Meike or the Mofage ?
Hey thanks for your comment. We do talk about this in the review. I suggest you watch it fully!
@@TheFilmGuyOfficial thanks for the reminder, i've overheard it :)
