New SLR Magic prototype anamorphic lens footage surfaces
nahua and one other reacted to Sean Cunningham for a topic
Oval bokeh with 1.33x adapter... ...using a close-up diopter, like you would be having to use with most 2X cinema anamorphics for close focusing and to sharpen up the image not being stopped down. ...more with a Century Optics 1.33x adapter and CU diopter. The SLR Magic lens is already demonstrably sharper at faster apertures, meaning the potential for at least two stops more dramatic ovals.2 points -

Sorry I thought it was you. But yeah I have to use F5.6 without a diopter to get focus. If I use a 0.5 diopter I get maybe another stop at F4. This is for most lenses, I think the russian lenses are worse and have to be F8. Helios is OK at F4-F5.6. This is for sharpness overall although the edges never really get sharp. That's why I look at this new one and I think it looks good edge to edge. Being able to focus at F2.8 is another bonus.1 point -
I must admit I like to work faster than a projector lens allows, and am not willing to pay Iscorama prices, so any focus-through adaptor that's quick has my interest for when I want this look.1 point

The Diopter Thread.

Just received my Voigtlander Focar A & B Diopters and initial tests seem v.positive on my 54. They are single element diopters +1 & +2 respectively. With my APS-C camera i can use a 35mm taking lens with no vignetting! Only paid £45 incl. P&P. Best to go looking around as i've seen these puppies go for well over £200, but mostly i've seen them being sold for £20 each - so don't get taken advantage of!1 point -
deal of the century!

Its become a real shame that this has happened, but if you are fool enough to pay that amount for something that isn't an Iscorama then good luck to you!1 point -
