  1. Does anybody have any pointers to lenses with similar character and rendering to the optex super cine lenses (sharp with gradual falloff, rainbow flare), preferably ones that cover full frame but fine if not?
  2. Reviving the thread, can any French person here affirm or deny whether the use of the term hypergonar is a matter of that word being a catch all term for anamorphics there or if not which could mean that the core of the attachment is indeed the 35mm hypergonar lens?
  3. If there is one that is. I'm guessing there isn't and most of the time when that quality of light is needed it's just constructed out of a couple of smaller lights like literibbons or asteras but I want to know if there's an industry equivalent of those ring lights mountable on the lens itself so if there is, let me know.
  4. Surprised nobody here mentioned The apartment from Billy wilder from 1960
  5. So to my dismay, no one has 4 perf movements for the arricam lt. So besides the 2019 film Luce, what are some projects that use 2x anamorphic lenses on 3 perf 35mm film?
  6. Well yeah, but what's special about tronchet scope is that its 2x for 16mm film, the ones you mentioned are probably better for super 16 as it's a wider format.
  7. I absolutely get the standardization bit, I was gonna change everything here for more efficient, powerful counterparts so I'll share it here 1x Digital Sputnik ds6 and ds3 with dopchoice rabbit ears for ds6 and modular yoke to make a ds9 array and holographic diffusers for all of it 2x aputure nova p600c with dopchoice rabbit ears per light and dual yoke to make dual light array 1x each Dopchoice 3 foot lantern and 5 foot octa 2x Hive lighting hornet 200-c/x with source four mini and chimera lantern (not sure to go with pancake or standard) 1x Chimera panel frame 6x6 (not sure what fabrics to spring for) 1x Matthews minivator ii 1x Matthews trio stand lit 2x kupo low mighty stand Now can anyone tell me what the industry standards are for ring lights? I know of the cinering but that's rental only, and I could probably make one with litegear literibbons
  8. If we were comparing bulb to bulb, the 1200d is brighter than a 1200w hmi by over 10000 lumens (126413 for aputure and 110000 for 1.2k) but falls short of an 1800w hmi bulb, of which can be found with 165000 lumens. Now practically it's not as simple but that's on the luminous efficacy bit
  9. Now I have leaves me with two conundrums, 1, how would I go about making a filter tray that would support the movement and length of the filter? And 2, who would be willing to make a filter to the required specification? That I don't know, maybe this is pointless and stacking 2 filters will do just fine, but the allure tho....
  10. Basically what the title says. It's described as unit that "utilizes two gradated Mitchell diffusion filters to increase the strength of the effect as they are slid against each other via a geared track." Now what I'm interested in is how one could go about making a modern day version of this, I imagine to work with modern day matte boxes the filters would have to be super thin but how thin and how to get the effect I don't know.
  11. *speedring option and I just realized I could use the hard light reflector with apurtures side by side so forget that, everything else still stands
  12. As much of a better value the aputures would be, and as nice it would be to be in the dopchoice ecosystem on that note of rentals, I can't deny the fundamental fact the light would be too heavy for my needs as for the weight of one 600c, I can use 2 super hornets in a frame and comfortably be on a c stand as i wouldn't dare put a 600c dual array on a c stand (also i can hollywood with a super hornet), and unlike the aputures, i can use reflectors while the lights are mounted to their respective double bracket while I can only use a softbox when mounted to the double rabbit ears and the f10 fresnel doesnt have a speeding option. Also I prefer the setup of the color array on the hive to the aputure but considering aputure literally just bought prolycht I have a feeling im not gonna be saying that for long. Also, the reason I was planning on one of a litemat instead of 2 sizes in this setup is so I can use them side by side as one light with another accessory from sodyum that I don't remember the name of. Yeah the 6x6, I just didn't think any of the lights I would have would be powerful enough to warrant a 6x6 frame but I guess it would be nice for overheads for the sun for instance.
  13. Okay it's been awhile and since my last update I've had multiple realizations in terms of priorities, the biggest one being the need for powerful, color tunable lights (that hasn't changed) but also lights that are small and can be put on a c stand. With all of this in mind, I've updated my theoretical kit to the following 2x hive lighting super hornet 575c lights with double bracket and super spot reflectors (I was highly hesitant as at 60 lumens per watt they're not the brightest or most efficient light on the block (still brighter than an Arri orbiter lol), but ultimately, it's the only light in this category I feel comfortable putting on a c stand at 6 pounds per head and more and more these days for owning and operating, size is of big importance to me as Im not running around with a grip trucks worth of space for my daily driver vehicle and to me, and one of the upsides of led lighting is reduced size for similar power, seeing these other units out nowadays the size that they are just makes me feel like we're losing something in all of this.)
