The Most Usable Anamorphic Lens Ever Made?

Blazar Talon 50mm T2.1 Auto Focus 1.5x anamorphic At first, I was slightly disappointed. It felt cleaner and more corrected than I expected. But after reviewing footage, testing sharpness, distortion, autofocus performance, and comparing it to lenses like the Apex and Great Joy, I started to see what this lens really is. The Talon doesn’t chase extreme character. It makes anamorphic practical. Autofocus. Manageable size. Traditional 2.39:1 delivery without heavy cropping. It’s not perfect, but it may be the most usable full-frame autofocus anamorphic lens available right now. We’re living in strange times. 0:00 Sunny Day 1:09 Initial Impression 2:00 Night Time 3:10 Sharpness 4:59 Talon 5:51 Apex or Talon? 5:57 Scope 6:48 Great Joy 7:07 Conclusion Slog3 LUT: https://buymeacoffee.com/egillbjarki/...
