Shots look great, very nice look from the anamorphic. Is the vignette part of post processing or is it caused by the lens being a bit too wide?
Do you use diopters for the closer shots?
Thanks for sharing!
no diopters for close ups. The Kowa prominars closest focus distance is 1 meter! YAY! ^__^
The combo i used was an old Russian Lens: Jupiter 9 (85mm f2) + the Kowa Prominar 16-S
The vignetting is caused by the lens AND the fact that I shot most of it between f4 and f11 on the Jupiter 9. With the lens at f2 you don't get much vignetting.
The Kowa 16-S is a good lens, great bokeh and nice flares. BUT because the rear element is fairly small, on a full frame you can just about get away with it if you are shooting 4:3 on a helios 58mm (44-2)
