2019 Nov 28 By answer 0 comment

https://youtu.be/QOEcdmLCo2g (vimeo) OK, so it’s been awhile. It’s been a weird year of ups and downs and I just don’t even know where to begin. So, let’s begin with the Aivascope Pro 1.5x single focus anamorphic adapter. After asking nicely, Valdas of Aivascope graciously lent me one of the test copies of his new lens. I was excited to give it a try and looking forward to shooting as much as I could with it. Well, first came the rainiest early summer I can ever remember. Then, I got sick. Really sick. I was in doctor’s offices and hospitals in…

(vimeo) Finally getting around to filming some new videos. Hit a few snags with life but more content should be rolling in relatively quickly from here on out. I emailed Valdas of Aivascope to see if he’d let me try out his new and improved Aivascope.

I only sold mine because I needed something I could use for anything and more often at night. Well, that’s where this new…

Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/214292200 I had a full scale review of the Aivascope planned. And then this happened: It was the middle of my shoot day. I was taking off the Magfilter when it slipped out of my hand. Only fell 10 cm or so, but flipped on the way down. Right now it’s on it’s way back to Lithuania to be repaired. I will continue my tests when it returns. As for the video above, I wasn’t planning to make a video with those shots. But I had to put together something while I wait. It’s not the best, but…
