We reccomend shimming the camera mount, then the adapter. If you are 100% sure your camera and mount adapter is accurate, then you can shim the lens. All of our lenses come pre shimmed from the factory (each lens is shimmed BY HAND) so please before you touch the shims in the lens, make sure your adapter is correct.

Are they shimmed by hand from the initial launch? I have the first batch of amber EF sets and want to know if they were shimmed by hand?

Wow! Okay your footage is the best I have seen with this lens set!

Thanks for the review! You always make my buy stuff I don’t need but after seeing your footage I want it hahaha

Thank you! Would love to see a video with them stopped down, comparing sharpness like in your last test. Also how they perform on like a bmpcc4k with speedbooster.

Hi, we did it, It makes a difference but not massive plus you start to lose the anamorphic look We can post an example to the Facebook group if you like!

Can’t wait to see their new lenses Blazar Cato.

Same we are so excited! Hopefully we should get them also!

I have the Great Joy 50mm, but your opening montage persuaded me I need at least the 35mm Remus for my BMPCC6k Pro. The one thing that puts me off is the shimming: I'm just a guy at home with no lens projector and some sample footage I have seen elsewhere looked really very bad-like one of those cheap plastic lomo lenses.

Thanks! You can use the video tutorials Blazar have to shim without a projector, but it's still our opinion that you try find a rental house or similar where you can use a lens projector to check calibration. It's so much easier and nothing is better than being sure your lenses are operating at their best!

Hey, I have these on preorder. Wondering if you had to do any shimming on the lenses? Footage looks amazing and I love the character out of these. Also is most of the footage 3:2 and de squeezed? I'm on the Lumix s5iix and curious how it'll match up. Thanks!

We have a whole section in the video talking about shimming. I encourage you to watch it! I would say most of our footage is 16:9 But we have some 3:2 shots in there also! Mostly because the majority of cameras we have access to don’t shoot 3:2 Plus there is less cropping involving.

Hey there :) Thank's a lot for your videos! You also reviewed the Viltrox Epic Anamorphics. After using both, which set do you prefer?

@TheFilmGuyOfficial

2 ай бұрын

You are very welcome! Honestly, it’s very much the Blazars! The viltrox lenses are sharper! But they are also very clean looking and don’t have a lot of anamorphic character! They are better for people who just want the resolution more than the look .

Can you provide more footage/stills of the neutral flare ones in different non RGB color light sources? Been struggling to decide between that and the blue flare ones which looked not super saturated and natural in a lot of tests

We will be releasing a dedicated video for the 35mm which has the coating. Until then all the shots of the girl on the roof with the flaring is that lens!

Does it looks and work well with Blackmagic poker 6k S35 , Video was very useful and informative ❤❤

Yes works well! We actually like them more as s35 lenses!

Great review! If you could only choose one, what would it be?

If you shoot full frame probably the 65mm If you shoot s35 from the new 35mm

amazing video. it is a bit unusual to have only one focal length for s35, but I guess they will add some more. I think I still prefer Laowa Nanomorph lenses tho. How would you compare them?

@TheFilmGuyOfficial

Ай бұрын

I’m not actually sure that’s what they’re going to do. I think it’s more that they think a lot of people will use these specifically on S35 cameras to avoid the strong edges. For them the 35mm makes sense.

CVP reported about a 33mm T1.6 FF lens, also, but I haven't heard anything from anyone else about it. I'd love a wider focal length to go with the original 3!

Today I got my 65mm Amber and I was surprised how sharp it is on T2.8, I easily can get image in focus on the RED V-Raptor VV. Probably latest instances of this lenses have better sharpness by default from manufacture and do not required shimming. But they definitely softer then DZOFILM Vespid for example.

@ShaneVanLitz

2 ай бұрын

Could be, but across our two sets some needed shimming and others didnt. I'd still take them to a lens projector for peace of mind personally.

I might have budget for one lens to purchase, which one would you recommend? I have a red Komodo with a speed booster.

@TheFilmGuyOfficial

Generally, I wouldn’t recommend just spending all your money on one lens. It’s better to save. But if you can only get one! I’d say the 33mm that is coming out soon!

45mm at full frame distortion looks too much for me. 65mm at 2.8 maybe sweetest spot
