- Shot in 6k 17:9 on the Sony Venice using Richard Gale Optics Clavius prime lenses with 2x oval inserts to give the anamorphic look. Recorded internally to sxs in slog3 at 480.
Thank you to all involved and especially Imagezone NZ for letting me take the Venice out to play.
I'm so excited. My set is finally getting serviced by Richard. Beautiful imagery.
One of the best "Real World" test without charts and all the extra boring stuff. Wonderful..Thx 4 sharing the unique lens!!
Thanks, just had my FX9 arrive, so finally time for some more large sensor images from these lenses.
@@joelawryDOP Awesome so excited to know that, That is a camera I am considering my self or maybe the S1H. Looking forward to more footage. How much are these in US Dollars by the way? ? Also any complaints with these lenses so far?
Beautiful images, beautiful soundtrack. Sony Venice is a wonderful camera.
Great video! I just watched the film Prospect that used these lenses as well. Truly an amazing film visually.
Fantastic images. Very impressed by this clean look.
that's the opposite of a clean look. I think that's the point of these lenses
Beautiful footage.
Great work !
Beautiful!
Dude this is so beautiful....
Did you make the rear 2x oval inserts by yourself? Otherwise where did you source them from? They really take the look of these lenses to another level!
No, theyre a custom item that comes as an accessory to this lens set. They can be added or removed from the lens by removing the rear lens element and inserting the oval disk behind the iris.
awesome

My only complaint would be it's frustrating you can no longer buy these lenses.
That’s unfortunate why is that?
Because Richard Gale has disappeared off the face of the planet.
@@joelawryDOP Think you can find them for sale?
@@joelawryDOP What? You mean he is no longer in business? Or other investor disappearing ?
How much does this set take you back? Thanks!
Around £12k
@@joelawryDOP Wow! Do you know how much the 58mm would cost on its own?
@@GregoryEsman only sold as a set I believe.
@@joelawryDOP Thanks Joe
What T Stop were these shot at? Curious because I don't see the buldge in the middle. Guessing T4 or so?
Buldge? With the 2x ovals in the rear from memory the lens becomes around t3.2. But due to the height of the ovals bokeh characteristics are similar to t2. Only transmission is really effected.
@@joelawryDOP normally when you're wide open you get the buldge in the middle (the swirly stuff) but here there was not any so I was curious what stop these tests were shot at.
They're really nice and doesn't exhibit what I normally find hence the thought it was around f4 etc.
What was your shooting stop? Wide open?
@@AshTailor along with needing to be wide open, my experience with the helios swirl is that its only really present when focus is in the 5-7ft range and the BG is 12-15 away. Closer focus and it goes away and the same with longer. There's a definite sweet spot. (My numbers are just a guess off top of my head)
Yes I only shoot with these lenses wide open when bokeh inserts are in the lens otherwise you lose the effect.
@@joelawryDOP Joe. Thanks for the info dude. Your video was the first time someone has showcased them in a nice way.
The running shots. Did you use a rickshaw or was the whole thing a lot more frugal?
@@AshTailor Black arm and Ronin 2 for anything moving. Going back to our earlier conversation. You can definitely see the swirl on the 58mm running shots through the trees, I think the oval inserts just make it a bit less noticable due to the oval bokeh.
