    Thank you Stefan! Glad you liked it.

    It's easy to work with but it definitely limits you. I haven't even tried it on other lenses because you have to change the adapter rings to match the lens size, and that process takes a few minutes. Makes you wish you could have an Anamorphot for each lens and just switch them out quickly. Then focusing is a bit tricky but that's the same on every anamorphic lens, and you'll always need diopters for closeup shots. So yeah, it would definitely be easier to just shoot with normal spherical lenses and use the black bars, but with anamorphic you get a different look. It's more than just the flares and bokeh, it's different framing. For me it adds scale to your backgrounds. Makes it feel like you're subject is surrounded by a huge world around them. It's more cinematic in many ways. But the 1.33x isn't that much of a change. I think the 1.5/2x anamorphics create a stronger effect.

    Hey Wilco, Here's a test I shot with the GH4 + SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x. The process is very simple on FCPX. I just use thescale / distort setting and set the vertical to 75%. That might not be the accurate percentage that is necessary but that's what looked good to me. Although 77-78% works as well. Hope that helps.

    Hey guys, Wanted to share a new GH4 test I shot with the SLR Magic Anamorphot + Sigma 30mm. The grade was extremely minimal and the colors you see are mostly coming from my custom CineV settings. Hope you guys like it.

    Thanks Gregor! I think the kind of lens, specifically this Sigma 30mm, and pushing the in-camera sharpness all the way to zero make difference. I also don't like the super crazy sharp/defined look.

    Thanks @jonpais! Glad to join. If you don't mind helping me, I couldn't figure out how to embed the video player into the post. I also tried using the vimeo embed code but it didn't work. Let me know! thanks a lot!

    I wanted to share a test video I shot with my new GH4 out at night on the streets of NYC. It was shot on the 60fps VFR mode with a Sigma 30mm 1.4 for Nikon + Metabones speed booster. I've heard lots of people saying this camera is awful for low-light shooting, but so far i'm pretty happy with it.
