Caleb Corlett Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I'm looking at starting to shoot anamorphic, and I'm trying to figure out what to get. Camera lenses, projector lenses, adapters? I really want to buy a single focus lens/adapter, cause I don't want to bother with dual focus. What are some options out there that will allow me to start shooting anamorphic with an a7s ii?

Justin Bacle Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 You should start by @Tito Ferradans 's single focus shootout video for the best single focus comparison ever ! Tito Ferradans and Caleb Corlett 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocool22 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Well the A7S II is not the best camera for anamorphic shooting it has no 4:3 mode. I would opt a ursa mini 4.6k/pro or even a GH5. Single focus anamorphics lenses are not cheap though. You got the slr magic anamorphics, Around 2600€ per lens. But I don't like their look.I would go for some vintage lomo's. But they are also a lot more expensive. If you want to work with adapters. Get the Rectilux hardcore DNA and see video below for some cheap anamorphic adapters.

But TBH, I ditched my A7RII awhile back. While I could opt to use the Canon, I feel the GH5 is best for the task, as it is designed for anamorphic. The only thing it is missing is in-camera desqueeze... and since it is fairly trivial to add it, I cannot understand the omission. If they really wanted to go above and beyond they could add lens profiles also, for popular lenses. I would pay for such and upgrade, as I am sure many other would also.
