mailesan Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Could somebody tell me what lens this Apple commercial was shot on? I just love the character of this lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted March 28, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted March 28, 2018 It's difficult to be completely sure about lenses, but based on the scope artifacts, general lack of sharpness and mushiness, that could have been done on the SLR Magic Anamorphot series. I wouldn't want to have paid more than that for those results, certainly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted March 28, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted March 28, 2018 I dunno Phil; I highly doubt it was done on SLR magic anything, mostly due to the budget which would be attached to it and the fact it's probably via a rental house in LA. I'd wager It's probably some of your more vintage anamorphics to take the edge off of the digital (probably Alexa) capture, Kowas, or could've been a Panavision shoot with their anamorphics. I doubt it was Cooke or the new master anamorphics, though. Something about it makes me want to say Kowas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Comments are disabled for this video." Hahaha... I liked the commercial although I think the narration held it back a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my thought, but it's not exactly ringing with sharpness even in the areas which look in focus. If this is really normal for anamorphics, perhaps I'm being too harsh on the SLR Magic stuff.

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted March 28, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted March 28, 2018 I haven't really seen too many sharp anamorphics up until the new stuff from Cooke and Zeiss, and of course, even with them, they have "flare kits" to give them back that "anamorphic character," though granted I haven't used the newer panavision anamorphics, which I also believe were/are very well made and sharp.

Stuart Brereton Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I don't think I'd really want to judge a lens too harshly based on a YouTube video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted March 29, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted March 29, 2018 There's a focus pull at around 8 seconds with no discernable breathing, so definitely not Kowas. :) I'd guess Cooke or Panavision anamorphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha Truth! Didn't even notice honestly. Though I have had a Kowa set which didn't breathe that badly when I used 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Ruiz Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I'd rule out Cooke because there's no pincushion distortion in the wides. Kowa I doubt because the distortion isn't that extreme. My guess is either Panavision or Hawk V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
