zerocool22 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Yeah threadsize, sharpness(i would love a sharp 1.4 anamophot) is my question as well. Also if it has the same blue look like the other slr magic adapters have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBounce Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Interesting, if sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocool22 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I wonder why they made it so small. If they made it 77mm backthread it would be so much better. (Yeah costs prob) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyou86 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Few things I noticed on the tweeted picture: - Has a NEAR marking, so it'll probably have a FAR marking as well, so does not look like a step up from the previous versions. - The previous 1.33x 40 had a 82mm front thread, this one has 62mm, i suppose the back will be 50 something. - It is a common problem to make a 1.33x adapter with which you can shoot wide open. Some series of the Centuries can do that, but SLR Magic failed in the past so I don't have high expectations, you'll probably have to stop down to F2.8-f4 I would love to see a prosumer anamorphic adapter which is similar to AGFA 1.5x, commonly known as Moller 19/1.5x, small, lightweight, focusthrough, great IQ even at wide open. Also, I have to admit that SLR Magic's communication style and strategy really bugs me. Seriously, is it that hard to make a nice website with full of information? Give me an anamorphot and I will help you out with that :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timotheus Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 For those who are interested... ;-) Here's a video from Personal View with some more details on the adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 1.33x, shoot under f4 likely to get square bokeh, average flares... remind me what the drawcard for this thing is at 500 dollars again? silvertonesx24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Not too shabby for 499? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertonesx24 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 There's some je ne sais quoi from vintage anamorphic optics that just hasn't been done right yet by any modern solution. Everything I see from SLR is a big meh. Are optics still that hard to make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same edges. Not bad. I second this. Considering the price ($499) for a focusing, super lightweight adapter this ain't bad. Century Optics and Optex adapters sell for as much...and they're like 20 years old. Now just wait for a nice discount and you got a real steal here. funkyou86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
