Century Optics x0.8 infront of Isco Anamorphic lens works really well , this gives super wide anamorphic image no vingetting also try the Olympus x0.8 and X0.7 both are very good and work infront of my anamorphics they also sharpen up the image too which is a nice bonus!

I agree with the above comments, im not saying you should never use shallower DOF, heck it helps when your on a budget. But there are these weird techniques I see sometimes where even the subjects face is barely in focus... then again these are just my personal tastes, I do also enjoy shallow DOF, but sometimes I dont see the point of it, its ok to let the viewer's eye wonder in my opinion. To me closeups are perfectly fine for this technique because you're suppose to see the subject and focus on him/her only, Whats weird is when its a shot that doesnt need it at all or when used with run and gun, then there are some that are crazy like shooting 1.4 during a chase sequence. Im not saying you should never use it, heck i know I will, but its good to know when it has an actual effect to the scene, then being saturated with constant shallow DOF, which can be exhausting at times and can lose its effect when you purposely 'do want to' use it. To me the the main things that are on my mind when Im shooting is composition, lighting, and what is necessarily to the narrative. To me lighting is so important, its something that I always strive to improve on (probably because im terrible at it haha) because thats usually what gives away the illusion to the audience, in my opinion. It sometimes makes a location feel more like a set then it is a location.

Nice article. "Blackmagic company philosophy is to make cameras for the masses". Unlike Canon, who will eventually lose their share of the mass market if they keep up the current form.

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]This is my most recent experimental short. The objective of this short is to reveal an object. Hope after watching you'll guess what that is. This short is more like an homage to analogue photography.[/size][/font][/color] [size=4]Directed, Cinematography, Edited, Scored, Mixed by Mida Chu.[/size] Starring Megan Walters. Shot on Sony NEX-FS100 (AVCHD), with Canon 55mm f/1.2 FD, Zeiss 28mm f/2.0 ZE, Zeiss Flektogon 35mm f/2.4 M42, and Sony 16mm f/2.8 E-mount. Some shots were done with a 58mm vid-atlantic cinemorphic filter for the stretched bokeh. Most shots were converted via 5DtoRGB Batch. Hope you'll enjoy this.
