How do you like the Blazar Remus Lenses? #blazar #blazarremus #anamorphic

For sure the softness is due to the focal reducer + need of shimming.

I think your copies are hands down the softest Blazar set I've seen - definatly worth shimming them! IMO try get yourself access to a lens projector and do it properly, if this is your starting point it will make a difference. Both our sets (Amber and Blue) are much sharper than these and both got sharper after shimming.

Thank you so much for making this! I'm using the c70 abd the remus set to shoot a film in Utah next month. How were you monitoring the footage/pulling focus? Was it difficult?

Hey) thanks) we were using an on-camera monitor (5 inch) to properly monitor the footage 😎

If I remember correctly, speed boosters degrade the image due to the introduction of extra glass between the lens and the sensor. Could this be the case with your C70 + speed booster + lens setup?

It could, we didn’t test it without a speedbooster

I’ve used these lenses without both the RF to PL and X-Mount to PL Metabones SB… no sharpness issues. If there were, I would just have accepted the crop.

Ok thanks guys

Good review, but did I hear you say these lenses are definitely not small? These are tiny for anamorphic lenses. Easily small enough to use on a gimbal. Secondly, your lenses are in serious need of shimming. This is why they so soft wide open. FYI: I’ve owned these lenses since launch and was in the first batch of preorders. Shot with them on Red, Canon, Fujifilm XH2S and GFX100 II. Fantastic lenses… but not if they are not properly shimmed.

Hm they advertise as constant squeeze factor. Are you sure they are not constant?

Don't like the silver look - dose it come in black?

As far as I know - no

sweet lord that's soft, that looks almost unusable at F2.8 and faster. What's shim? I actually don't know, but maybe it should be done if it can help. F4 is much better but probably not the hit you want at whatever price point these are.

you forgot to shim your lens that's why its soft at f2

Well, first - it’s not mine, second - shimming resolves backfocus issue.

I contacted Blazar and they do not recommend shimming the lens

Shim your 100

Extra glass behind an anamorphic lens will make the lens image worse and 1 stop of light bether. It aint t2.0 but t1.2. In this case not good. Because again extra glass.
