Here’s the teaser for our ALEXA 265 x STATERA Anamorphic Lens Test (Link in Bio to the full 4K Lens Test). In case you missed our recent post with @lens_addiction and @ancientoptics - STATERA 1.5x FF+ Anamorphic lenses are one of the few viable anamorphic lens options to pair with ALEXA 265. We wanted to show that you can get great results for a 2.40:1 presentation which utilizes most of the ALEXA 265’s huge image sensor, and delivers more anamorphic character than 1.3x anamorphic lenses, giving you a great balance of resolution and character for 65mm format. Enjoy! Featuring - @priscilla_mars DP - @marklafleur_dp AC - @kemalettinsert EDIT - @rosiesirk #anamorphiclenses #vintagelenses #alexa265 #lenstest #alexa65

Introducing the @ofgcustoms LONG SHOT. The Long Shot is an optical adapter that allows you to use Full Frame/Large Format/Vista Vision lenses, and retain the full field of view, depth of field, and character of those lenses onto the 16mm format. It was designed specifically to use with PL mount 16mm cameras like the ARRI 416, ARRI SR3, AATON Xtera, XTR Prod, and more. You now have 10 times the lens options for 16mm film, as well as the ability to capture a completely new look, no one has ever seen for 16mm. This truly is 16mm reimagined. The Long Shot has swappable mounts, and we have mounts for PL, LPL, Canon EF, Nikon F, Canon FD, BNCR, and more!  Special thanks to cinematographer Gary Long @prince.dpx for brining us this project, and trusting OFG with his concept. He also shot all the gorgeous test footage in this demo reel. Huge thanks and praise to OFG Customs’ Cameron McAlpine @cambob3000 for designing and building the Long Shot. It’s a functional work of art. Thank you to Rosie Sirk @rosesirk for editing this reel. And thank you to @kodak_shootfilm @ducloslenses @fotokem_la and @originsarchival for the help and support. The Long Shot is currently available for rental only at @old_fast_glass Watch on YouTube for a better viewing experience.

We have something extremely important to share today. Nick Demaree, one of Old Fast Glass’ most incredible people, suffered a tragic accident recently, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. As you can imagine, treatment, care, rehab, and other huge changes to Nick’s life, have a substantial financial cost. During this season of giving, we are asking you to support Nick and his family. We have added a donation link to our Link Tree (link in bio). In this post, we shared Nick’s recent IG post: @nichdema - to give some more context to the situation. If you have any questions about how you can help, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Nick is a truly special person. Anyone who’s met him knows how sincere, passionate, friendly, and electric he is. Let’s come together and support him and his family any way we can. We will continue to share Nick’s posts, his story, and other information. Thank you in advance for the support. - The Old Fast Glass Team #oldfastglass

Every day until our Cine Gear Wrap Party and Open House we are going to give you another reason to stop by and check out our newest gear. Today’s reason: the @zerooptik vintage Leica M primes. We have 2 sets: one featuring the 1960s SUMMICRONs and 1 set featuring the 1960s SUMMILUX and NOCTILUX primes. Both sets are gorgeous. They are flattering, they deliver gorgeous lens flares, and they have very beautiful bokeh. There are very few sets of these in the world, so this is one of the only places to test them out. These lenses and many more will be available to check out at our Cine Gear Wrap Party & Open House, June 7, from 2:00-8:00pm at Old Fast Glass. We will have food, drinks, coffee, ice cream, and 2 lens bars!  #oldfastglass #cinegear #leicanoctilux #leicasummilux #leicasummicron

This is one of the lightest, and smallest 16mm film cameras, weighing less than 5 pounds!

Every day until our Cine Gear Wrap Party and Open House we are going to give you another reason to stop by and check out our newest gear. Today’s reason: the Kinoptik Tegea 9.8mm T2.3, beautifully rehoused by @zerooptik for @ancientoptics This is one of the widest vintage lenses available. The new Zero Optik housing is a masterpiece - as beautiful as it is functional. This lens is surprisingly sharp with almost no distortion, and an incredible close focus. It has a slightly dreamy character wide open that no modern lens can replicate. You have to see it to believe it. Come test out this lens and so many more at our Cine Gear Wrap Party & Open House, June 7, from 2:00-8:00pm at Old Fast Glass. We will have food, drinks, coffee, ice cream, and 2 lens bars!  #oldfastglass #cinegear #zeroootik #kinoptik #vintagelenses

Every day until our Cine Gear Wrap Party and Open House we are going to give you another reason to stop by and check out our newest gear. Today’s reason: the new @ironglassadapters Soviet Medium Format Primes. IronGlass put together a set of some of the most legendary, expressive, and beautiful sets of vintage Soviet Medium Format lenses. This is the Mir 45mm f3.5. The set covers well beyond 65mm format, and they have a really lovely, painterly vintage character. Come test out one of the only sets of these lenses in the world, and many more lenses at our Cine Gear Wrap Party & Open House, June 7, from 2:00-8:00pm at Old Fast Glass. We will have food, drinks, coffee, ice cream, and 2 lens bars! #oldfastglass #cinegear #ironglass #sovietmediumformat #alexa65

Every day until our Cine Gear Wrap Party and Open House we are going to give you another reason to stop by and check out our newest gear. Since we missed Sunday, we will give you 2 reasons today! These are two of our widest lenses for LF/VV/FF and beyond: the @zerooptik Canon+ 10mm T3.7, and the @arri Enso 10.5mm T2.8. Zero Optik optimized this 10mm for 65mm format coverage! So this might be the widest lens available for that format. It’s sharp on center, with gradual fall-off toward the edges. It has lovely bokeh and flare character, with just the right amount of barrel distortion. It’s a great choice to pair with vintage lens sets. But if you need a modern ultra-wide, the Enso is a great choice. Extrememely sharp. No focus breathing, controlled flare character, smooth bokeh, and almost no distortion. It’s the widest lens in the Enso range. Stop by and test out these lenses, and many more at our Cine Gear Wrap Party & Open House, June 7, from 2:00-8:00pm at Old Fast Glass, hosted by @old_fast_glass and @ancientoptics We will have food, drinks, coffee, ice cream, and 2 lens bars! #oldfastglass #cinegear #ensoprimes #zerooptik #fullframe

Every day until our Cine Gear Wrap Party and Open House we are going to give you another reason to stop by and check out our newest gear. Since we missed yesterday, we will give you 2 reasons today! This is the brand new Zeiss B-Speed 14mm T1.4. This one was a collaboration between @ancientoptics and @gl_optics and is the follow-up to the 135mm T2.2 B-Speed we announced recently. Both lenses expand on the original 5-lens set, and both feature the B-Speeds’ unique triangular iris. So now you have a uniform, perfectly matched, unique set of vintage optics from 14mm to 135mm. The lenses have internal focus, improved close focus, expanded focus scales, matching gear positions, and rock-solid, reliable mechanics. Wide open, the lenses create a more traditional, vintage textured aesthetic. The triangular iris does not reveal its character until you stop down. Around T2, T2/2.8 split is the sweet spot if you like the look of rounded triangular bokeh. It’s really special. The lenses have Zeiss’ legendary vintage leaded glass, and T* coatings. The lenses deliver very flattering skin tones, and lens flares are beautiful without overwhelming the image. They are truly stunning lenses. Stop by and test them out at our Cine Gear Wrap Party & Open House, June 7, from 2:00-8:00pm at Old Fast Glass. We will have food, drinks, coffee, ice cream, and 2 lens bars! #oldfastglass #cinegear #zeissbspeed #zeisssuperspeed #zeisshighspeed

NEW WORK!!! So excited to finally share this Director’s Cut we shot way back in September for Real California Dairy! With 110 degree weather, tons of flies, and all the smells, we had the best vibes with my guys @petesestina and @jrashada roaming around various California dairy farms for 2 weeks. Also, not to be cheesy but they say the best camera is the one in your hands and that couldn’t be truer. I was rocking a barebones Sony FX3 and a few kit lenses and filters. Nothing else. Pete and I wanted to focus on raw moments, interesting frames and not worry so much about shallow depth of field and carefully placed scenes. In fact, embracing a deep focus was fun…not to mention the pinwheel sun flares! Big big thanks to our editor @chrispetow who found these incredible moments and brought this piece to life! Couldn’t have done it without you. Big shoutout to @lorenjameswhite , for bringing some color back but keeping us grounded in a real world. And Huge thanks to @jrashada for capturing so much audio that really helped carry the piece in its authenticity. And of course, biggest thanks to @petesestina for trusting me to find interesting moments, literally running with it to get a shot, and managing talent like a pro. Curious what everyone thinks!
