Exciting news! I have the full set and I'm looking forward to the tests, including the focus interaction between the adapter and the lens (mentioned in the announcement notes.)
Great video. Can’t wait for this! I heard rumours it won’t be out until Q3/4 2024. Given the 100mm was delayed from Dec 2023 until Feb 2024, we might not have this until early 2025 - but I’m remaining hopeful! I’ve also invested in the VAF series specifically for this adapter
I think there may be a chance that these have amber flares as an option. The coatings on the beauty shot of the lens at 3:27 look to have an amber hue to them.
It’s just for the Samyang V-AF series (for Sony emount) but Sony made lenses no as the V-AF lenses have electronic connectors on the front as well as connecting points. I have reviewed 3 of the lenses on this channel if you want to check them out.
What's up with manufacturers seemingly making up the squeeze ratio of lenses? There's nothing wrong with 1.7x. Just my question is, why 1.7x instead of 2x or 1.5x?
I have used quite a few 1.75x - and 1.8x. My Aivascope is 1.75x and my Vazens were 1.8x. Most NLEs allow you to set your desqueeze and many professional monitors allow you to enter arbitrary value.
@@Superbustr well given that most stretch ratios other than 1.33x and 2x are sort of arbitrary I don’t see what the difference between a lens manufacturer deciding to make a 1.7x vs a 1.5x. I think having additional squeeze ratios is helpful for some of the oddball sized sensors that are on some of the cameras we have now. my RED Komodo has a slightly wider than normal sensor and one of my Kinefinity cameras and my XH2s have taller sensors when shot in open gate. Not every sensor fits neatly into the 1.33x for 16:9 to get a 2.40.1 or 2x for 4:3 to get 2.40.1 Options are a good thing and these lenses with ability to configure your NLE and equipment is getting more flexible all the time. But ok…
I had a Quick Look at your channel but I didn’t see you. I have the adapter on order though so I will give my thoughts once it’s shipped it looks like fun.

i am excited about it and hope it is good. 🤞
Great video! Excited to see this come out. Do these lenses work just as well for photography?
The V-AF lenses are really good for photography
Great video.

I saw something about it being due to the lens flare. I hope soon though.

I hope they give us the choice, fingers crossed.
looks pretty neutral to me which i like
do you have auto focus with this anamorphic adapter?
It says manual focus on the press release.
“1.7x Anamorphic MF Adapter”.
Can we use sony lenses with this adapter?

I know the mini hawks are a 1.7x but yes it’s not quite a standard ratio.

G master is perfect
It will great to see a G master anamorphic.
But I doubt it will happen anytime soon.
Look at me! 😅
