@Stephen Murphy: Thank you very much for sharing!

Hi, I would love to know if anybody out there has ever tried the LOMO foton anamorphic FOTON-A 37-140 1:3.5 zoom lens, and listen his opinion about it. Said this, we're gonna shoot our next project on a DSLR camera (Eos5 Mark III + ML RAW module enambled): compared with this kind of output (for sure lower than the average out there) how do you consider the above mentioned lens? Would you suggest me to buy it, or to mount an anamorphic projector lens in front of my glass (with all its handling and narrative limitations - first of which, double focus) and saving a lot of money? Every different suggestion will be welcome, and every alternative, considered. Thanks in advance for your precious time and experience. Cheers from Italy. Stefano.

Hi everybody, and thank you very much for your precious opinions. I hope not to sound rude enclosing my reply in one unique post. @Adrian Sierkowski: you're right: I admitt the posted pictures are not the most representative example to support my questions, unluckily I couldn't find better examples in the movie trailer I found on YouTube. Thanks a lot for the link, I will have an (hungry) look for sure! @David Mullen: thank you so much for sharing such precious informations. Any further step in my knowledge and experience will be thanks to your support too. @Igor Trajkovski: thanks again for the amount of material you're giving me to deal with... and thanks also to Gregg MacPherson for the (for sure appreciated extension)! Too late to make it short, but thanks a lot again to everyone: really, really kind from you all. Sincerely, Stefano.

Hi to everybody and thanks for reading. I've recently watched Cronenberg's Maps to the Stars, and I've been touched by its photography. I had a question to better understand a detail: in some scenes highlights are a little glowing (there's an interior shot where a subject is placed in from of a window with some venetian blinds that is representative of what I mean, but I can't find a frame on the web to post it in here). How do you think they achieved this kind of look? Maybe with some kind of (Black) Promist filter? I'm not a filter expert (for now!) so I could be wrong. I'll post here some pics captured from the trailer where the look of the image is quite soft. Same question about this too. And maybe, same answer also. Thanks a lot, and cheers from Italy! ​Stefano.

Hello, and thank you for your atenction. Sorry, before all, because my work isn't translated in English, as it should. Said this, it's not really spoken a lot, unless the prologue, and the whole sense should be understandable, so, if you would be so kind to give me your critique, from an USA point of view, and from the point of view of people working on international panorama, like some of you surely does (even if all critiques, and by everyone, will be appreciated, under all aspects) I will stay here, with all my sixteen ears open. It's a self made production, with no distribution, filmed with a canon xl2 camera in minidv format. Not think to be sold, not for market, just to exercise myself to grow up. I have to grow up a lot, please, if you can give me a direction, by your experience, I will be very happy for this. It's my first "over a shortmovie" work. I did all, from directing to lighting. And I know... this is not real filmaking. It's called "REBIRTH", and you can watch it here: http://www.stebianchi.com/flv/fiction/rebirth.html You can also see some other of my works (in Italian) here: www.stebianchi.com (please choose the "fiction" subsection of the Video section). With my limits, to go over them, and your help, thanks a lot Stefano Bianchi
