DIGICHombre Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 From my EBAY LISTING: Next to new condition. Used gently on a handful of projects in between clean storage and frequent air dusting. I bought this right after it came out on B&H Photo. Marvelous piece of gear. MUCH easier to use than vintage projector lenses and half-assed clamps (coming from a previous Vid-Atlantic + anamorphic owner). The taking lens facing side is 62mm filter threading. Front allows 77mm filters. Includes three step-down rings to allow you to mount the anamorphot on lenses with a 49mm, 52mm, or 58mm front thread. Included Diopters allow focus closer than 1 meter. Diopters and rings come in their own cases. US Buyers & PayPal ONLY. THANKS General Thoughts No vignetting on Full Frame as wide as 40mm. Would not recommend using with widest aperture because, like it or not, adding more glass in front of your lens does affect the overall quality. Depends entirely on taking lens. I’ve used this with old vintage Helios, Contax, Voigtlander, Zeiss Jena 40mm, 50mm, and 55mm taking lenses (Full Frame). Picture quality is a bit soft on lenses higher than 85mm (Full Frame). Had to stop down to at least 5.6 or higher. 1.33x squeeze is manageable but not the most anamorphic looking out there. Personally prefer sweet spot at 1.5x. Flares are mostly bluish, not strongly organic. Look is more clinical than old school. No silver bullet for amazing looking Blade Runner, Die Hard, etc. footage. Have patience, experiment, fail, try again... Suggested Taking Lens Based on Sensor Size 17-85mm focal length can be used for S16 sensor. 20-85mm focal length can be used for MFT sensor. 35-85mm focal length can be used for S35 and APS-C sensor. 40-85mm focal length can be used for Full Frame sensor. Note: These are recommendations only, and you should make your own judgement about what lens to use based on your observation and experience. Recommended Maximum Aperture Values f/2.8 for 20 to 50mm focal lengths f/4.0 for 55 to 85mm focal lengths f/5.6 for 90 to 135mm focal lengths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
