GLM editorial assessment

Rendering notes

These are qualitative selection notes. Evaluate the exact lens version, focal length and aperture on your intended camera.

Use cases

  • Gimbal or handheld anamorphic
  • Full-frame productions needing compact packages
  • Lower-footprint commercial work

Tradeoffs to test

  • 1.5x squeeze is a different flavor than 2x classics
  • Less raw imperfection than older anamorphics

02 / Before the shoot

Plan a lens test

Test the focal lengths and apertures you expect to use. Check the center and edges, move a light across frame, and pull focus through your planned working distances. Include skin tones and the lighting conditions from your shoot.
