Right!! Years ago when there were only massive anamorphic lenses, probably 0.001% of the users would be using them for photos lol (I know you and I would haha) But these days some anamorphics are so small and so accessible that it really makes sense to take photos with them. Hope LUMIX makes it happen! 📸
Definitely, I would love to see LUMIX AF anamorphic lens from Sirui!! It makes so much sense as LUMIX has best anamorphic features in their price range (Open Gate, Anamorphic Stabilization and Desqueeze), as well as the new autofocus system is working well - it would be a great to have. Hope Sirui is reading this ;)
which lens from the saturn set has the least pincushion distortion?

personally i would use the venus only with the adapter to get 2x, not because i need the width but to get constant squeeze factor. Overall the Saturn are master pieces. I had the Blazar A set plus the 85mm, vintage anamorphics and i have the vazen fullframe set but i always grab the sirui, it is just a perfect anamorphic lens ... not literally but it has no dealbreakers, weight can be a dealbraker for me, too much character can be a deal breaker for some projects, the flares are okay, the squeeze is constant, close focus is a non issue for them, just get a uurig foldable filterholder and a diopter and you have closefoucs super fast... add optical drift in davinci to get the character and they are amazing ...
The Venus does look fantastic with the 2x adapter. Unfortunately, full-frame 35mm and 50mm will give you a big vignette, so can only shoot on those in APSC Crop mode on those lenses. The 75mm does look really good with the 1.25x adapter tho. I have a full video about the adapter here: ua-cam.com/video/vWqo6BGcWw0/v-deo.htmlsi=8f7YC8AuHI4c9ldv And yesterday thats true, sometimes too much character will not be right for the project. When I shoot with Blazar I usually stop them down to f5 or sometimes even f8. Also on some commercial shoots clients want a clener look with less distortion, which the Sirui lenses would be better at for sure.
100% agree on this one! A lot of monitors have this feature. One thing I'll add is the ability to de-squeeze via HDMI or even embed it into the footage. Currently, if you're filming in MP4 Lite mode on the S9 and want to send the clips to your phone, they will still need to be desqueezed in an editing program.
Wow! These are TINY!
And yes Lumix, please anamorphic support for photo mode please!!

Panasonic should release a firmware allowing custom de-squeeze ratio.
