Oysters Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Greetings Anamorphic freaks, i have some questions about the Isco S8 2x Animex adapter. I have seen a little written about the focus and a infinity mod on here but wanted to clarify as i found one at not too bad a price Is it a fixed focus lens at 4M? If i do the infinity mod as shown on here does everything stay in focus within a certain range? Is it better left at 4M and used at that range? Does it suit the BMPCC and GH5 best because of its image size? Would a diopter help or is that pointless on a fixed focus lens if that is the case? ( like would you just change taking lenses and stay at a fixed distance ) Thanks for your time guys, sorry for the noob questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only suggest this if you want to use a single focus solution like Rectilux, Rangefinder or the new Aivascope (although that last one may not fit) if you want to know how the lens works on different sensors, use Tito's calculator you can use diopters to decrease the focus distance Oysters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
