    Dang....I absolutely love the look of these lenses. I like them WAY better than the standard Atlas anamorphics. I was trying to hold off on ordering but this might have pushed me over the edge! Great video Rob

      Dude, same. I've had these in a cart for preorder so many times but figured I'd wait to rent them on a production and see how I like them. Which I'm still going to do but they just seem like a perfect anamorphic for most of the scenarios I'd use anamorphic and are subtle enough that I could actually see myself using them in more scenarios than I would typically go for anamorphic on which could justify actually owning them.
      This footage looks so sick, I'm pretty sold.

    Damn what a power duo between you & Julien! These look sick. Seem like a totally reasonable price too

    does the barrel distortion become less prominent as you stop down on the lens?

    You already made me start buying Tokina Vista lenses...can't you wait until I get 3-4 of those before you start making me buy Atlas lenses? Great video.

    Is it not possible to make anamorphics as a wide-angle lens? Whenever I look at anamorphics lens sets, there's never something wider than 35mm or so. Definitely not 18, 16, 14mm. Is it bc it's not necessary and the anamorphs capture wide enough field as is?

    Am I the only one who is disoriented by the barrel distortion on these? I want to like them so bad. Great vid as always 🤘🏼

    • @BradleyLayton7
      @BradleyLayton7 Рік тому

      Have they announced the release window of the 54? I remember them just getting their first prototype in like a month ago. Waiting on the 138mm they hinted at

    • @Studio23creation
      @Studio23creation Рік тому

      @@BradleyLayton7 we want longer focal lengths ! 135 woul be nice, but also something like 200mm or more ! (wich become equivalent to around 135mm when compared to a spherical). I dont understand why very short anamorphic are the main thing (i understand that it helps getting some nice characteristic like barrel distortion and all, but come on, long focals are very important for cinematography).

      Correct, it's from 1977. Maybe he confused it with the 2018 remake.
