Slr Magic adapter and rangefinder w Sony RX100IV

[Jed I. Clampett]

I am hoping to switch to Sony RX100IV with the above mentioned SLR Magic products. My big question is will this combination work? I haven't been able to find out if the Sony has an anamorphic mode in camera or if my NLE Sony Vegas Pro can do anamorphic conversion. However, if it can work, think it would be awesome. As you can tell I have NO EXPERIENCE with anamorphic and to spend $2k for the lens adapter and rangefinder an expensive experiment if it doesn't work?

I think it pairs much better with the RX10. But 1.33 just doesn't give near enough of the anamorphic look imo.

I would be getting the 2x for the same reason, sorry I didn't make that clear.

I haven't seen anything with the 2x and those cameras. That is a big and heavy lens. I'd think you'd definitely need some kind of support. Would love to see what it could do though. That slow mo in 2x anamorphic would be cool. You probably won't be able to use the wider angles without getting some vignetting. You know, the VM lens by the anamorphic shop might work with it. It would be way cheaper and is 1.5x. It's designed to work with smaller sensor cameras like the RX100. Not too many vids of it out there but there's one on vimeo a guy took of Budapest with the BMPCC that looks pretty good. I think it's only around a couple hundred bucks.
