Anamorphic Meopta Anagon bluring issues

[gbisdikis]

Hello to you all,

 

another issue with the anaorphic lenses. I am a newbie to these stuff. I recently bought an anamorphic lens (Meopta Anagon 2x80) in order to practice for my forthcoming shooting. The issue that I am facing is that when I shoot between 1m-2,5m the picture is blur and completely useles. The problem seems to dissapear when I shoot 3m and beyond. Please advice any solution and why that happens. For your info, before anamorphic I use a prime 58mm f1,4.

This is because the anamorphic lens has a certain minimum focus distance. In your case that probably would be around 3 meters. To achieve good results with closer focus, you will need to use diopters in front of the anamorphic lens.
