25mm F0.95 SLRMagic topic

    Just so you guys know, I've found a 55mm step up works fine to screw into the lens shade. 5 bucks vs. female to male step up/down rings or the $50 proprietary ring.

  • vicharrisvicharris

    @Matthew You know, I have two rings sitting here but haven't checked anything! I totally forgot. I'll have to reboot my brain and figure out what the hell we were talking about!

  • MatthewMatthew

    @vicharris Did you ever get that female-female step down ring to test with the male-male coupler? just wondering if that is still an alternative to the SLR Magic ring, and if so, does it work just as well? Thanks so much :)

  • vicharrisvicharris

    Min focus distance says .26m. All of my SLR's have a little bit of play but it's never bothered me and never been a problem during recording. But everyone is different :)

  • oscillianoscillian

    What's the minimum focus distance on this? My voigt doubles as a great macro lens and I would hate to loose that if switching. Could someone do a hard backlit face (preferably with sunlight) so we could look at coma, spill and flare? Focus ring play doesn't sound that good :(

  • vicharrisvicharris

    Small lens shade, yes.

  • jleojleo

    Haven't figured out what that sliding hood ring does. It doesn't lock in place...doesn't act as lens shade???

  • _OZ_OZ

    Mine just arrived today. Gonna use it tonight for a music video/studio recording shoot.

    Smaller than I expected. There is a bit of play on the focus ring (bummer). Stepless Aperture ring is incredibly smooth. Wide open shallow DOF is intimidatingly wafer thin.

    Ordered from Adorama. Rebate was instant, but propriety SLR stepup adapter was not an option at Adorama.

    more to come....

    Is the $50 slr magic step up ring the only option to use a variable nd filter with their 25mm lens?

  • RRRRRRRR

    @kholi I´m a bit curious about the smaller f-stops (how the lens feels, bokeh rendition a.s.o.) and what you´d reckon is the largest you´d go in normal circumstances?

  • stoneinapondstoneinapond

    Some night footage from the 25mm.

  • jleojleo

    @wgtwo

    Yeah it was a pretty disconcerting CLACK sound when we first got it. I thought the MFT mount was loose. But I no longer hear that sound and the focus is much smoother.

  • wgtwowgtwo

    @jleo, used it for a solid few hours, and it doesn't seem to have gotten much better. The lens actually makes noise if I move it back and forth and jerks around a little bit.

  • Manu4VendettaManu4Vendetta

    @kholi, awesom. Seems like shot in Alexa. :O With the Pocket Camera?

    What is the price of this lens?

  • feonnfeonn

    @kholi I already viewed all footage I could find with the SLR Magic! Actually I hope that come up with an anamorphic adapter compatible with 12mm and 25mm. That would be great for wideer view with the pocket camera also.

  • kholikholi

    @feonn

    CHeck my vimeo. I don't want VK to strike me down for reposting, but there's footage of the 25mm 0.95 cropped and composed for BPC (Pocketcam) specs, and it looks grea to tme.

    I really want a 35/0.95... that will round things out for me. Or, well, if SLR made an 18-20/1.4 in addition to the 35/0.95, THAT would be the round set for me. xD

    Hope they're reading!

  • feonnfeonn

    @kholi lovely lens! Thanks for posting! I'm still waiting for my pre-order... I beg it will match nicely with the pocket camera as well, regardless all the worries about going wide. In fact I find I use 35mm lens far more often on my gh1/gh3 than the normal 20 or wider.

  • jleojleo

    The "play" in the focus ring became less pronounced after some use. Exercised the focus ring all the way back and forth a few times.

  • kholikholi

    Here's some more footage, private link, not for download. Will have to take it down soon:

    Password: SLR2595

    Blackmagic MFT and SLR 25/0.95 with minimal lighting.

  • wgtwowgtwo

    Got mine today, and it feels as though there's a noticeable play on the focus ring - doesn't feel very nice, especially not compared to my Voigtlander 25mm. Anyone else have this issue?

  • kholikholi

    @vicharris - I wish this area had more interesting stuff to just pick off. One of the meh things about living in Los Angeles is having to leave Los Angeles to find something random to shoot. =T

    Thanks much, man.

  • vicharrisvicharris

    @kholi Nice, I live pretty close by Sony. I was just showing another guy from PV this lens today as well as the 12 and 35mm. I tried to go to Venice last week to get some footage with the 25mm but didn't like anything I got. This stuff looks pretty damn good man.

  • kholikholi

    @vicharris yeah First Friday yesterhour.

  • vicharrisvicharris

    @kholi Is that Abbot Kinney?

  • kholikholi

    Just walkin' around night prior. Mostly SLR 25/0.95 HyperPRime on Blackmagic Micro-Four Thirds, some 12/1.6 as well. Will grab some more footage at NAB, really can't wait to get into actual production... delays with web series.

    Voigt and SLR 25/0.95 Comparison soon as well, already have that footage (what little of it exist).
