I was recently privileged to get my hands on a pre-release set of Mercury Series anamorphic lenses by Atlas Lens Co. With the release of the Panasonic S5IIX also happening, I wanted to pair them up. This must be a world first for this specific camera/lens combo.
Massive thanks to the Bish family and my partner Del, for allowing me to stick a camera on them yet again. You guys are the best, and I love you all.
Thanks to the late, great Alan Watts for the words of wisdom.
Additional thanks to Panasonic LUMIX Europe, @AtlasLensCo , @SmallRigGlobal and CVP, for supplying me with the bits I needed to throw together a workable rig in such a short amount of time.
Camera: Panasonic LUMIX S5 mark II X
Lenses: Atas Lens Co Mercury Series anamorphic lenses - 36mm T2.9, 42mm T2.9, 72mm T2.9.
Monitor/Recorder: Atomos Ninja V+
Rigging: SmallRig
Mount: PL to L Mount adapter from cinegearpro.co.uk
12 bit ProRes RAW recorded externally via the Atomos Ninja V+
5.9K 23.98p
4K DCI 60p
Film emulation & grade: Dehancer Pro - Kodak 250D + 2383 print stock
Aspect Ratio 2.66:1 - Image has not been cropped as I wanted to show the entire image you get with a 1.5x squeeze factor shooting in 16:9 formats on a full frame sensor. Super wide, but looks great. Open gate would be the other option, but I wanted to be able to shoot RAW @ 60p into the Ninja.
