CesarNunes Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hi there! I was born a few days ago to this fascinating world of cinemascope the moment i got this: Can anybody teach me how to attach this to a 5DIII? this is what I have: 1) Cinemascope attachment High definition (orange colour) 2) HD - Plus - 1.85 MC 2,1 (f=57,5 mm - 2.26 in)(Red colour) 3) HD - Plus - 1.85 MC 2,1 (f=95 mm - 3.74 in)(Red colour) I suppose I can attach the red lens to the cinemascope attachment, they are both 70,6, and then attach a clamp to the thinner part of the set to connect to the taking lens. Is that it? If yes, then that means that i might have to buy 2 different clamps? Both red lens have different diameters on th thin part. Anything else about this? Is this set up any good? What else do I need? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The red lenses look like normal spherical lenses to me, you don't need them. You need a way to fix the golden lens to your taking lens on the 5D Mark III (probably you need at least 80mm to avoid black corners). I have one of those big gold ISCO's, the quality is great, but it's a huge beast... Here is a topic on those lenses: http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/972-isco-anamorphic-projection-lenses/ Some still images I shot with it (really sharp!) on a Panasonic GF3 and 45mm Minolta (90mm equivalent) http://www.eoshd.com/comments/gallery/album/8-isco-ultrastar-gf3-minolta-md-45mm-f2/ You can use the Velbon SPT-1 to make an anamorphic rig. Also you need a tripod collar. You can buy a genuine one for the Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro on eBay from China for like $5, it fits on my Isco and it looks pretty much the same. With the Velbon and tripod collar you get this: CesarNunes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
