Richard William Preisner Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Hi all, I just wanted to share a new online library that I've been working on with my focus puller to share our lens and filter tests with other filmmakers, cinematographers, directors, camera crews etc. It's called the LFL - Lens & Filter Library and is available at rwpreisner.com/lfl So far there are over 80 lens and filter tests with many more to come in the next few months. It's currently in the early stages of development and I'm looking for feedback to see how useful people find it to be and what improvements they would like to see. I'm also looking to see how useful the choice of tests are to those that use the library. It's available to be saved as a quick shortcut on IOS & Android devices so can essentially function as an App on Ipad and Android as well as the videos being available in 4k for viewing on larger monitors. It's appeared a couple of times in the BSC magazine news and they have been supportive. You can read their short article about it here Have a look and it'd be great to know your thoughts! 6 2 1
Diego Collado Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 This looks really cool! Thank you so much for sharing it.
Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 Fantastic job! Some of the filter tests are hard to see the difference. If you get filters like that, shoot some stills to do split screen comparison with and without the filters in addition to the video.
Luisa Madrid Posted April 14, 2023 Posted April 14, 2023 Thank you so much! Much appreciated, - to you and the time put in! ?
Carlos Bradley Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 Thank you! This is really useful. Shooting Arri Alexa Plus for a project in late May and wanted to test a few of the Cooke series in which you all had a few paired with the Amira.
Richard William Preisner Posted May 5, 2023 Author Posted May 5, 2023 Hi Carlos, It is great to hear that you have found the LFL useful and I hope your project goes well. I'm about to start a new update of the LFL and there will be many more videos to come.
Nathan Walters Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 What an incredible resource. I would love to see this grow further!
Agustin Saavedra Suau Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 WOW. The video test are really on point. Answers a lot of questions I had, and helps a lot when I'm reviewing the cinematography of some feature film. Thanks Richard
Quais Waseeq Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 This a fantastic resource library you're compiling! Thank you for sharing!!
Richard William Preisner Posted June 14, 2023 Author Posted June 14, 2023 Thanks for taking a look! I've just added a dual player to compare the library of 100+ filters side by side. It is best viewed on desktop so you can judge the nuances between filters. It'd be great to hear what you think if you get chance to take a look!
