I never noticed the blue flares from anamophic lenses until I got into cinematography.

Awesome work!

Thank you! Will keep going for sure

Was not expecting to see lex while researching this lens haha good stuff

Very nice video my dude ❤️

Incredible dude !!!!

This is also a great taking lens for anamorphic adapters. Using a 44M-4 with a Schneider Super Cinelux 2.0. Nothing fake about it.

Might need to check out vintage adapters eventually, but the mounting solution just seems overly complicated. I guess a 15mm LWS system would be the way to go

Does using an anamorphic vintage adapter mean that you have to focus both lenses? Or do you set one to infinity and only focus the adapter?

Great vid 💯

I found one helios 44M4 on an old camera my father owned, a zenith 12XP, i'm indeed surprise by how sharp that thing can get for an old soviet lense :)

I’m gonna attribute the colors to the sensor of the FX3 tolerating wrong white balance settings but the Helios does give it a unique look!!

@@kaichuuuuuu Great comment. Mine was way too generic. The behind the scenes of that comment was that I have the Helios 2/55 and my camera made much better colors using it rather than the kit lens.

The best Helios lens for me 😍

very very high production value! do you have a link for the lens hood or whatever it is in order to make the lens a little bit more versatile concerning 82mm filter thread size? :)

Great share and i have Helios 44-2 58mm f2

Nice footage, if i watch this video and put my phone horizontly the whole screen is filled. Other yt anamorphic videos is this not. What is the solution please? Is it a special aspect ratii for yor project? Have you final cut pro x?

The focus ring getting stuck is because the pin at the back of the lens hits a surface on the adapter, I've had the same issue on my copy, Helios 44-2 however does not have this pin and is much easier to adapt.

Do some modeling damn

Hello, I bought a helios 44m4 and I wanted the cine mod, but when the aperture ring turns, my cine mod also turns, because the interior rotates, how can I fix this?

I'm wondering, are you using any luts or film simulations? If not what did you do for color?

@kaichuuuuuu

8 ай бұрын

I actually did not for this video! I made a couple color grades that I applied a different shots based on what I felt looked right. The lens shots were from a scrapped video. I have developed a LUT and and working on a couple more that I am thinking of sharing soon as well though!

Which adapter do you use for the lens please?

Thank you!! ❤️ I actually purchased the lens with the mods applied. However I did mod one of my lenses for goofs and gags by cutting a circle cutout from a plastic container for an SSD I bought and snapped it behind the iris. For manual lenses, I think it should be relatively easy to mod, but not sure for autofocus lenses or any lens with electronics. I’m sure there are sellers on somewhere like Etsy who makes cutouts for popular lenses though!

@visualfocusphotographymedi100 I finally received it a few days ago. It took the seller 3 weeks just to print the shipping label 🤦‍♂️. It's a great lens though. I did have to take it apart because the modded part of the lens was crooked and made the light flares shine diagonally instead of horizontal but it was an easy fix. I will be filming some video with it soon

I'll take blue flares over yellow flares which seems to be the other option.

I bought the Helios 44-2 about 2 months ago and really love the lens. But she's not the sharpest (at least mine). But I 100% agree on all the rest in your video and love shouting with her.

that is interesting. i picked up a 44-2 and have found it the sharpest of my vintage lenses, and it goes toe to toe with my modern lenses. i didnt realize how sharp it was until i started pixel peeping and was pleasantly surprised.

The Russians just made great glass. It was an offshoot of their space program but in the day their lenses were thought to be heavy and clunky while the Japanese lenses were very light. The Russian glass still holds up and is still heavy... ha, ha, ha...

That was probably because the light wasn't intense enough. They need to be a certain brightness directly into the sensor to create flares

you should watch The Batman even if just for the cinematography! 💀

Almost all Helios come from Ukraine and due to the situation take over a month to arrive.i have 5,, so yeah, I hate that. Buy lensbaby instead,

Fx3 body was good ....try on A7ii -iii you won't get this quality and looks 😶 depends on your camera body and lens how much you try to grade like pro you won't get this quality.
