    You ever get your set? Thanks for this. Saw plenty of good reviews, then I came across Northwest Camera Co's video, and i was worried. Glad to see someone actually demo it again

      Haven't gotten them yet. This might be the longest I've ever waited for a product in my entire life lol. Thanks for watching.

      No frkn way. That's crazy. Through atlas? Noticed B&H have them listed now. If you can only grab one, you going 42 or 35 if the use case in NON Corp interviews? Mostly Med 1 or 2 shot. Thoughts? FX3 is the rig.

      @@MAKEuMRnoFACE For interviews, I like the 42mm slightly more than the 36mm. It seems to have the perfect POV and character for a nice headshot. That's personal taste tho... If you like the sizing of a 35mm than I'd go with the 36mm.

      Northwest’s review was garbage & apparently there’s some conflict of interest with another manufacturer. They basically complained that the Mercury aren’t modern clinically correct lenses, missing the fact that they are modeled after vintage anamorphic lenses like the Kowa they used on the Creator … all of their complaints are literally the qualities that are sought after in anamorphic glass

    I was in the same boat as you thinking my Mercury are never going to come, I was thinking maybe they’re only sending out batches to high-profile people / “influencers” … but today the email finally popped up confirming mine are getting sent out in the next few days. I never thought the day would come 😂, So just hold out a bit longer, I didn’t order mine on day one - so the fact I’m getting my preorder is a good sign. Also by emailing them / mildly complaining a few times, I came to find out that they spend time with every single batch and basically assemble them in house by hand, it’s not like Sony or Sigma where they’re just cranking them out in an assembly line. But apparently the attention to detail is impeccable, they’re made to last a life-time, and you never ever have to worry about quality control issues. Anyhow, good luck, these will be the anamorphic lenses I’ve ever shot with & I’ve never been so amped for a piece of camera equipment. Going to shoot a whole doc with them this year

    What camera did you do the tests on? S35 or Full Frame?

      FX6. Full frame.

      @@DJBFilmz you test them on S35? I got the 36/72 and the 54/138. I really like the distortion on the 36 but feeling like it’s gonna not have as much of a look on S35.

      @@PeterPoulosCreativeyes, I did both full frame and S35. You loose a little bit on the edges but the 36mm still has character.
