Finally my PL mount showed up. Now I can use my anamorphics! Here is my take on a digital directors viewfinder. Sorry, I got excited!

AAWWWw MANNN!!!! You just answered one of my thoughts. Please...footage please. This camera is scary!!!
 
Wow awesome.

Very very very very bitchin hunter!

Hunter is that a Lomo 2x Anamorphic? If so are you cropping the sides? Seriously you need to get your hands on some of the Hawk 1.33x lenses ( rental of course ). They are sweet. With the 16x9 sensor coupled with
a 1.33x Hawk, you get 2:37:1......

The PL mount looks well machined. Is this going to be a marketed adapter? If so ,holy-S, this is going to lead things to a whole new level. PL mount on a 1,500 dollar camera, unheard of. Greatness indeed!

you didn't crop anything in post did you? i think with the RED, not absolute here, that you have to shoot in 3k and crop the rest in post.
 
Yeah you have to crop a bit of the sides, you need a ~1.2:1 aspect sensor when shooting 2x anamorphics to get the proper "2.35:1" (2.39:1) image. If you dont crop you end up with a 3.56:1 ULTRA WIDE aspect when shooting 16:9.

About footage; I will try to shoot something more substantial than test footage and then post it.

I think its just the first run of it, I am going to give the maker feedback on how to make it better for the GH1. Its about $350- not my project at all, just a smart guy I bought the lenses from.

Hopefully you can get your hands on some 1.33x Hawks for trial, no cropping needed.

The math: 1.33xAna X 1.78( 16x9 sensor ) = 2.3674 > round up > 2.3700 = 2.37.1


Of course, I have never seen 3:56:1, how does look? Does the video hold up? That could be some sort of special kinda look for some projects.. Crazy panoramic stuff..
 
Crazy. Like putting 18" alloy wheels on a VW bug.
If we're going to PL and anamorphic land, I would hope anyone who comes out with a commercial PL adapter for this little wonder builds it to a tolerance where we can back focus and account for any discrepancies in focus mark calibration. Not likely to happen but it looks like a fun project.
 
A set of hawks would be in excess of $250,000, I dont think I can afford the rental on that- which is why I bought the LOMOs. ; )

3.56:1 is a VERY VERY wide screen look. A little too wide if your not just shooting landscapes. I do like 3:1 quite a but though.
 
Its actually a Leica M- PL adapter (there is a lecia M - m4/3 adapter behind it) I am going to recommend that he just makes a strait up m4/3 adapter.

Not to own, just to rent. I don't know your rental house's in your area, however in LA there are a few you can go to and load up a camera for testing. That would be awesome to see on that little guy.

Maybe we can get some of the AIG/stimulus money and get some Hawks........ :)
 
That flare looks really buff. When RED first announced that they were going to produce a pocket camera, this is kind of what I imagined.
 
are you trying to disguise your camera with the black tape over the lumix , GH1 and HD symbols or are you just pretending your G1 is a GH1 to feel good???? :shocked:
:D
