In the performance video I see a lot of movements but no establishing shots or no close up of the fingers stoking those strings! Which makes me wonder even more? Minimum focus is truly important as well
The parts where the camera goes close to the face is minimum focus on this lens. With the Siruis, and pretty much all anamorphics really, you can’t get any big close ups unless you use a diopter.
I‘m pretty sure you can’t adapt L mount to the Komodo. The Komodo natively has a Canon RF mount, so the flange distance is to similar between the two mounts to adapt it. Correct me if I‘m wrong though.
@@MortyFilms I believe he means it wouldn’t have taken Sirui much more development to make a 1.5x squeeze. Too late now, of course, but Blazar just released a set of 1.5x anamorphics (Remus series) and although I have the Sirui 1.33x lenses too (35/50/75mm) the Remus blow them out of the water (as far as anamorphic characteristics are concerned).
No, I still desqueeze the image in camera. It’s much easier as it’s already desqueezed when I put it into my NLE, so there’s not really any reason not to do it.
For me it was always close enough, as on the Sirui the squeeze is not constant throughout the Focus range, but you can still always change it in post. I never really had an issue with just using that setting though.
Good content here, thanks. I also use this combo of the Komodo and OG Sirui 1.33x anamorphics. For me, the benefits are their size and weight, fast f1.8 aperture and the 1.33x extended field of view. However, these benefits are at the sacrifice of other anamorphic characteristics, such as outer-frame distortion and waterfall bokeh, which makes them a very clean lens, and “very clean” is not a typical characteristic of true anamorphic lenses. BUT… if you pop a Great Joy/Blazar 1.35x adapter on the front of them, THEN they come alive, resulting in a 1.8x crop and introducing all those dreamy anamorphic characteristics. As a comparison, I shot this scene on my Komodo with the Sirui 50/75mm 1.33x: th-cam.com/video/vsOm57Y0_bI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aksu_gBJJ0fBY8Wk And shot this music video with the same 1.33x lenses but with the Great Joy 1.35x adapter: th-cam.com/video/9OJkw2Cv-Xw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GkmXjjyNPGhQUKfM
That’s an interesting combination for sure, I still think it looks pretty clean, even with the Adapter and I don’t know If I’m a massive fan of the flares, but I really like what Blazar is doing at the moment, both with their adapter as well as the new Remus lenses. Thanks for sharing!
Kind of sad when the B Roll for the product itself looks waaay more better than the B Roll captured with said product. You need to invest more time into the shot versus simply "going out with friends and capturing whatever looks good"
Been working with the Panasonic GH5 and the Sirui 24, 35 and 50mm 1.33x and love the combo!
nice, sounds great!
Beautiful review and sample footage!
Thank you 🙏🏼
I absolutely love it!!! Strongest video you have made so far 🔥🔥
Dang, thank you sir! 🙏🏼
Thank you for the review. At this price point, seems hard to have many options for going anamorphic.
Yes it does, even though there are more and more budget anamorphics, I think this still is one of the most accessible ones.
A new Morty Drop? Hell yeah
Ha ha, thanks mate ✌🏼

I have a Sirui Saturn anamorphic with Leica L mount, Would it fit on a red Komodo-x or would I need an adapter, thanks for this great video

@@MortyFilms Ok thank you very much appreciate it
as an advocate for 1.5 squeeze, I am disappointed with the loss in potential.
I really like 1.5 squeeze as well, could you explain what you mean with “loss of potential”?

@@ShotbyPicto right, I’m really excited about the Remus as well, hope to make a video about them soon!
Nice Video!!!!!! This lens make the difference from other Sirui lenses.
Thanks man! How do you think this lens is different from other Sirui lenses?
@@MortyFilms In my eyes the anamorphic look of this lens it is more closer to a High-end anamorphic lenses.
@@stamatisspinos Alright, I see. Interesting 🤔
how did you pull focus? thx
for the gimbal shots of the guitar player we used a Nucleus M follow focus, other than that I pulled focus directly on the lens.
Because it is 1.33x do you skip the anamorphic setting on the komodo and just shoot in regular super 35 2.4:1?
No, I still desqueeze the image in camera. It’s much easier as it’s already desqueezed when I put it into my NLE, so there’s not really any reason not to do it.
@@MortyFilms how do u desqueeze in camera if there’s no 1.33x option
@@tommydonahue5534 There is a 1.3x option
yes but is 1.3 option the same as a 1.33x squeeze?
thank you so much@@MortyFilms

I hear you, trying hard to up the game with every new video, thanks for your feedback, it’s essential to do so 💪🏼
