Описание: Anamorphic Taking Lens Comparison (50mm-90mm):
Anamorphic Scope: Aivascope 1.5x
-Contax Zeiss 50mm AEG f/1.7
-Contax Zeiss 85mm AEG f/2.8
-Leica R 50mm f/2
-Leica R 60mm f/2.8
-Leica R 90mm f/2.8 (Elmarit R Model II)

Camera: Panasonic Lumix S5. UHD 3840x2160 Full Frame 16:9 ratio, imported into a 4096x1716 Scope 2.39 Ratio timeline.
Recorded into a Atomos Ninja V ProRes 422 10bit.

My top requirements when testing for an anamorphic taking lens:
1. Center sharpness/resolution.
2. Contrast
3. Oval Bokeh (overall shape) I never step down a taking lens when shooting anamorphic or use 1.33x scopes. So this test will be performed with every taking lens shot wide open at its widest aperture only.

*These tests are for my own personal style of shooting and are just my opinion. Please note, these lenses may perform differently when used as intended spherically.

*As to date, I have tested over 100 different vintage lenses to be used as anamorphic taking lenses in various focal lengths. And I have chosen this group to perform the best for my needs.

*I prefer not to shoot with taking lenses faster than f2, for I feel the image becomes too soft and unusable at that point.

*And after many tests, focal lengths of 100m and longer do not project pleasing oval bokeh or resolution when combined with the Aivascope, so no 135mm's for example will be tested.

*I will not be testing for anamorphic flares. This version of the Aivascope has the 'amber' coatings so it will flare on the warmer spectrum only with a strong direct light source.

This test is being performed with the camera in a fixed position that is 3'/0.91 meters from the subject with controlled lighting. ISO may be adjusted between takes to allow for a 0 exposure meter.
White balance is set at 4500k throughout. And all takes are being recorded with the Panasonic S5 & Ninja V in ProRes 422 10bit in the Ninja V.
