Hi guys so basically RECTILUX they take your lens and turn it in to single focus i have KOWA for B&H can this be done to my lens and is it worth it? and can i still use my taking lenses.

 

Thanks

Yep, that's it and yes you can keep using the same lenses. If you want single focus then it might be worth it.

There's not much to "do" with the lens. You just strip down some parts for some lens (like focusing rings in some cases) and put a barrel on them. I think there's nothing irreversible done to your anamorphic lens, you just put them inside a bigger tube with variable diopters in it, and you're done. You can check out their site for compatibility and see how much the model that fits your lens costs.

There are a few of these now, the Focus Module, the SLR Magic Rangefinder and I own a Rectilux which I use with a Bolex Moller. It's surprisingly good, though I do lose a few feet of close focus, I like it. http://rectilux.com/ has a lot of answers
