Totally our pleasure Robert… famously hope dies last. Thanks for hanging and spreading the word. We have cool upcoming things that hopefully reach a broader audience as this was very special.
@@MediaDivision Oh man...not cool. Well, regardless...you did a phenomenal job! This series was one for the history books...I really don't think there's anything quite like it out there. I recommend it every chance I get!
I am considering becoming something bigger in this world, and your work, in general, boosts the potential of all people who are into it. Great episode, yet I can't wait for another one to push my purview a bit further!
After watching, I continue to be stunned by the quality of this production and its content. So meticulous and so well delivered! Sending you a big thanks. Please keep up the inspired work!
We are very happy you feel that way. It make the hard work easier to know that it falls on the right soil. Thanks again for your generous support and your kindness. We will try as long as we are able to feed our kids.
Thanks for producing this series! Watched the first two episodes before beginning my last show which was all shot on anamorphic lenses, really helped me get a better understanding of lens characteristics & how to replicate them for VFX. Appreciate it!
Couldn't do it without the support of generous people like you! Thank you Henry!! Very glad that the series was helpful beyond shooting anamorphic yourself
Epic as always Nikolas! Thank you. I had flashbacks to the original Terminator movie when Arny is about to do surgery when you held the cutter next to the rear element of the ISCO! Haha. Glad the rear element didn't plop down in a sink.
Fascinating stuff, the result of the rear coating removal on the ISCO is very heavy handed flares that would be great for specific projects. I currently have a Aivascope 1.5x which is a great balance for me.
ooh this gonna be good 🙌 edit: it was amazing, thank you Media Division and all your collaborators, I don't think i'm wrong in saying that the scope series is groundbreaking and will really help to empower a whole new wave of creators, viva la passion!
Your videos are always mesmerizing! Thank you for introducing me to the 28-70 zoom lens, by the way. Kimcamera has rehoused them as well, and I think when paired with an Iscorama, you could achieve a great single-focus anamorphic zoom. The Iscorama 54 is surprisingly powerful - it has usable vignetting at 60mm - on an Alexa 65!
Yes, yes and yes! Love all these series (and pretty much anything else you guys upload). Gonna load this up on the big screen later, sit back and drool 🙌
Thank you so much for this! I was lucky enough to find a good deal on an anamorphic adapter a few years ago. Been experimenting with different taking lenses and filters ever since.
Thank you so much for all your work, your channel has the best quality i've seen on TH-cam! It would be interesting to see your take on DIY variable diopters, saw some videos of cheap wide angle adapters being converted in variable diopters and providing acceptable results, it could be an interesting topic if you are interested
Our pleasure Leonardo… glad you feel that way about our work. As you can see, the SCOPE series already caters to a tiny tiny fraction of a small group, generating next to no views. Going into something so specific has no chance to give us reasonable feedback considering the time and money we would have to spend on that - so, we can't do that unless Elon Musk suddenly becomes a massive fan.
I will not be building an anamorphic setup nor will I even be using anamorphic in the near future but holy shit your work inspires me every single time. Danke
Very happy that we do… thats what the whole project is about... edutainment for a very specific small group of people. Maybe (just maybe) someday it comes in handy what you snapped up here. We would be proud.
My ebay saved searches are now filled with the most random anamorphic adapters, I'm a stills shooter, but have always wanted to make some still anamorphic work, perhaps even anamorphic solargraphs. The inspiration does not end.
Thanks a lot for your kind support John… very much appreciated! We salute you. Reach for the stars .. but do reach ;-) I hope you didn't miss the photography section with Dick Sweeney in SCOPE chapter two?! That is totally for you!
Thanks for this amazing content. The coating removal was the most intriguing. After you remove the coating (front element for example), what determines the flare colour?
Hey James.... thank you so much for your very generous support. We salute you! After a lot of experimentation I can tell you this much: You can totally see how flares will look by looking at the reflections shining a white light in to the lens. muted reflections=coated / unmuted reflections=uncoated. Coatings give a reflection a color bias so, coloured reflections will also show you the flare color. If the reflections has no color bias, it is likely uncoated and flares will fall into the light source color. NOW, there are many more surfaces within the lens (look at the diagram we show) and even the coating on the backside of the front element and two further ones in the first doublet will give color casts unless coatings are removed too. As you see in our example, the neutral main flare is mixed with some blue and green from those surfaces. The back elements shows a secondary flare with it's own characteristics following the same scheme. I hope this helps a bit... if you have more questions, go go
Wow… Thanks you so much Ralf! That is just so generous and kind of you. If a fraction of out viewers did that once a year we could do episodes like this every month and tear right through Netflix ;-). We salute you… non stop for 15 minutes. This is definitely for you!!!
@@MediaDivision Thank you very much for your kind reply. My logic here was simply doing a rough calculation of what you have saved me in time and funds by publishing your research, and then sharing a fraction of that with you for doing all that work. I would hope that more people follow this formula.
Thats a great way to "evaluate" information… I have little hope for the adoption of it but hey… we live on hope ;-) Thanks again and we hope that we can safe you a lot of money in the future… or just properly entertain you - you well deserved it!
Great video, as always. Also great to see you using the Angie 28-70. I’ve got the 35-70 and 70-210 and they’re both near PF too. Largely forgotten are the FD 28-50 3.5 and 24-35 3.5, also near PF. Both very good zooms.
Im GenX. This channel is what I thought college was going to be. Those secrets to life revealed in high quality teaching making the cost of the tuition, books and taking the bus all worth it. And driving away from graduation, "There goes one helluvan educated mind!"
Thanks a lot for your kindness C. … as a GenX myself, I appreciate your sense of wonder that seems to have evaporated… or, is it just us? Somewhere, there is a VHS with your name on it, and on other beeings will treat it as an archeological marvel. Try that GenZ ;-)
Great content, so surprised to see the final part! Though a little bit shame this video is in 16:9 and all anamorphic scenes has to bee letterboxed, that combined with me watching this on a 21:9 screen, makes those gorgeous clips looks like peeking through a window.
Thanks... the final part of the SCOPE trilogy, yes. I wouldn't know what more to do about anamorphic and I am pretty done with it. TH-cam has limited support for anything not 16:9, everything DIY in this is shot 16:9 and which of the many different anamorphic aspect ratios would be the preferable one? The one that happens to suit your screen?
great job. don't forget Redstan adaptors which are for me the best to ensure stability of the combo. (mine is Kowa 16H+Helios 44-2+HCDNA+Vivitar diopters if needed). All the best
Thank you so much for your kindness and for supporting our mission Emmanuel. It is very much appreciated. We couldn't do anything close to this without you. We salute you!
Im sorry but this episode is too short :D Seriously though, all the episodes are so brilliantly done, i've rewatched them couple times each. Its like a very good movie. I do have a very rudimentary youtube channel for buisiness and I just cant fathom the amount of work done on each video you made. Mine are WAY simpler and yet they take lot of time, but yours are really full blown cinema production. 11/10. Thanks for all the work, its greatly appreciated mate!
As for the golden rule of filmmaking "as long as it has to be and as short as it can be, all our episode are as short as the can be... and that can be long. We spent a ton of time on these... I think we take more time to write the description than others to produce a video... which is exactly why we are so reliant on the support of our viewers. Thanks for hanging and we appreciate you being around.
Best solution I’ve found is the aivascope 1.5x. Very affordable and terrific results. What’s more, I found that if you pair it with the Sirui 1.33x anamorphic lenses, you end up with a terrifically sharp 2x anamorphic setup with great flares (if you use the amber coated aivascope which really helps tone down those very harsh blue Sirui flares)
sure thing... Thank you so much for your support John.... we salute you. We simply don't own an Aivascope... we did ask for one a while ago and didn't get one even for discount and we can't just buy all options out there
Thank you for your effort providing this information for free. I can‘t find the 95mm vivitar diopters in your shop-link. I ordered them on B&H and waited one year, untli they told me it will be no longer available. Do you have any idea, where I could still get them?
Our pleasure… yes, we couldn't find it any more either. It has been discontinued between filming and release, hence it is not on our Webstore. We have no clue where to get them or similar ones now. It's a pitty.
With pleasure. Well, I can sell some as I have so many, but I paid like 500$ each so, I will not sell under 700$+shipping, don't need money badly right now. No, I have not.
once again, some fantastic work here ! Very informative, and so nicely executed ! I'm looking to add something very special to our way of filming, was thinking of setting up some 645 lenses on our son a7s3 paired with Aivascope 1.5x . That would be some incredible killer combo, don't know how practical this would be though .. ever tested this (since you posted the 645 Medium format video I hope you did haha)
@@MediaDivision yes seen this with the Letus, I own their gimbal helix and love their products, but their adapter is not practical and interestig to me. I figure out that a 50mm with AivaScope could fit with a FF sensor, maybe even 45mm, so I'm going to look into that and dive further to see what could be achieved with this combo. Again thanks for the incredible work you do, and the tests done with the 80mm 1.9 are glorious ! keep it up !
@@MediaDivision No worries. Judging by the amount of blooming I'm guessing it could've been something like a 1 or 2 strength. It does a great job of enhancing the streaks and adding texture around the light source. It was Tiffen BDFX, right?
Thank you so much for doing this, it's extremely helpful! I've been thinking about removing my Isco's coating for a while... I do have one concern though: In your video at 32:52 I can see the flares in the uncoated version turned greenish as opposed to being blue/purple before the mod. Is that because the unaffected coatings on the REAR element of that particular Isco are green? Or is that something that I have to expect no matter what the original coating color is? Thanks!
The quick answer is that we don't know... one would have to remove several coatings from the SAME ISCO variant and do cross examination which we didn't do.
Hi team, wonderful video as always. :) I'm wondering, do you know the difference between the Red ISCO ultra star and the GOLDEN Isco Ultra star (I'm taking the one that share the same size, not the humongous for full frame)? Cheers. :)
Hi Miguel.... first and foremost thank you for your support and your kindness. We salute you. We don't have a ISCO ultra star gold version, so, we can not give you a sophisticated answer. Check out Titos work on in. th-cam.com/video/RH0NT7fUQnM/w-d-xo.html BTW... The ISCO ultra star is designed for 16mm (although I have seen it on 35mm projectors), and the "humongous" one (briefly seen in this episode) for 35mm (vertical, so not Full frame).

I saw the instagram post before any TH-cam notification, has to be the highest quality film channel on TH-cam, big fan of the work done here.
It is always interesting that YT notifications just don't work... glad you found it anyways. Thanks a lot, always trying to improve
I've only watched the first ten seconds and I'm already glued to the screen. Epic presentation and content. Now watching the full video.
Thats exactly what we are going for… glad it works for you. Enjoy!
Epic as always Nikolas! Thank you. I had flashbacks to the original Terminator movie when Arny is about to do surgery when you held the cutter next to the rear element of the ISCO! Haha. Glad the rear element didn't plop down in a sink.

So glad to see this back! Informative, entertaining and inspirational!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks man... nerd unite!!!!
Like a good classic, the sequels come after a while, and fans are hungry for these.
well, we appreciate the excitement just hoping it would be a bit more
Well this is a nice surprise
Enjoy!
Such a great conclusion to the most epic anamorphic series anywhere. Incredible work

My tokina 28-70 Vignette at 28 with 1.35x Adapter at S35 from the BMD Ursa.
Of course it depends on the adapter... the Letus is the widest one out there and it barely goes to 28mm with the Angie
Right... the 28-70 is simply the most usable range in the context.
This is God damn art in it self.

With pleasure. Well, I can sell some as I have so many, but I paid like 500$ each so, I will not sell under 700$+shipping, don't need money badly right now. No, I have not.
once again, some fantastic work here ! Very informative, and so nicely executed !
I'm looking to add something very special to our way of filming, was thinking of setting up some 645 lenses on our son a7s3 paired with Aivascope 1.5x . That would be some incredible killer combo, don't know how practical this would be though .. ever tested this (since you posted the 645 Medium format video I hope you did haha)
Thanks a lot.. glad you enjoy. We have 645 + anamorphic combos... like we tested one in SCOPE2 but not with Aivascope as we don't own one.
@@MediaDivision yes seen this with the Letus, I own their gimbal helix and love their products, but their adapter is not practical and interestig to me. I figure out that a 50mm with AivaScope could fit with a FF sensor, maybe even 45mm, so I'm going to look into that and dive further to see what could be achieved with this combo. Again thanks for the incredible work you do, and the tests done with the 80mm 1.9 are glorious ! keep it up !
Danke!
Wir Danke Dir sehr herzlich für Deinen großzügigen Support!!!!!!!!! We salut you!
Omg @Media Division drops a video and I gotta watch.
Thats the spirit...... thanks man
brilliant!
Thanks Batzon... and thanks for being a fresh member. You make it possible - for that, we salute you!
Incredible video! Which strength of Black Diffusion FX is being used in the example @29:58 (1/8, 1/4, etc.)? Thanks!
Thanks … Sorry, but I don't remember
@@MediaDivision No worries. Judging by the amount of blooming I'm guessing it could've been something like a 1 or 2 strength. It does a great job of enhancing the streaks and adding texture around the light source. It was Tiffen BDFX, right?
Thank you so much for doing this, it's extremely helpful! I've been thinking about removing my Isco's coating for a while...
I do have one concern though: In your video at 32:52 I can see the flares in the uncoated version turned greenish as opposed to being blue/purple before the mod. Is that because the unaffected coatings on the REAR element of that particular Isco are green? Or is that something that I have to expect no matter what the original coating color is? Thanks!
The quick answer is that we don't know... one would have to remove several coatings from the SAME ISCO variant and do cross examination which we didn't do.
@@MediaDivision makes sense, thanks anyway for the quick reply!
This is outstanding. Would love to see some Iscorama....also if the uncoating process can be done in an Iscorama 54.
Cheers from Argentina.
Thanks...well, we can't do it for all lenses... how could we effort that and who would watch that but 12 people.
“I love the smell of fresh Media Division in the morning.”
Hey.... sounds familiar 😅 thanks a lot for your support A51
Dieser majestätische Bart :D steht dir!
Vielleicht was substantielleres?
Hello, very good video, I have the gold ultrastar isco, with the filled blue star. Can you do the same thing to the RED ISCO?
All the best.
Thank you... we rather don't give advice or even opinions with gear or processes that we have not tried ourselves.
Thank you for your help
With pleasure ! Thanks for watching
Hi team, wonderful video as always. :)
I'm wondering, do you know the difference between the Red ISCO ultra star and the GOLDEN Isco Ultra star (I'm taking the one that share the same size, not the humongous for full frame)?
Cheers. :)
Hi Miguel.... first and foremost thank you for your support and your kindness. We salute you. We don't have a ISCO ultra star gold version, so, we can not give you a sophisticated answer. Check out Titos work on in. th-cam.com/video/RH0NT7fUQnM/w-d-xo.html
BTW... The ISCO ultra star is designed for 16mm (although I have seen it on 35mm projectors), and the "humongous" one (briefly seen in this episode) for 35mm (vertical, so not Full frame).
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support Jianshi... we salute you!!!
