Rokkor PG Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hey guys, So after my first try at this anamorphic business with a Sankor 16-D didn't work out, I'm going to try again, but I need some help picking an adapter that fits the following. They are ordered in priority for me: 1. Meant for 35mm projection, so it will cover S35/APS-C sensor 2. Flat or threaded front so I can use my SLR Magic Rangefinder diopter I shelled out $$$ and haven't used yet. 3. Large rear element to avoid vignetting 4. Nice flares 5. Under $500 So is the above possible? I have discovered the Anamorphic Lens-yclopedia on the forum, which is very helpful, but its by no means a complete list of what's out there, and doesn't have prices or original format listed. The suggestions in the '$500' category on this site seem like a good place to start, but prices have risen since is was published. Hard to find the the Kowa for B+H for less than $1k now http://www.filmbrute.com/anamorphic2/ Can't wait to hear your suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito Ferradans Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I think you have to choose between the top 4 or only the 5th item of your list. The only option that could fill all of them would be a Cinelux, which will vignette above 50mm on APS-C. And that list is pretty crazy. I have never seen an Isco 2000 over $1000, and I don't think anyone would ever pay this much for it. I have two of these for sale right now, but you'd need a clamping solution to the taking lens, and they're going for $700. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokkor PG Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 LOL. You're probably right Guess you can't have it all. The Cinelux's do look promising, but all the different the versions are confusing. I'm considering the flat front versions with no 'lips.' Do you recommend anything else for the first 4 Tito?

Caleb Genheimer Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Kowa 16-H/8Z. Very sharp, very wide. True 2X squeeze. It's the widest projection 2X out there, all it needs is clamps front and rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
