Fujinon MK cine lenses?

[SebYT]

Hi all

Has anyone tried the Fujinon MK cine zoom lenses with any form of anamorphic adapters? I know SLR magic makes one specifically for them so I guess in theory they should work, but I'd be more interested in using one with a vintage anamorphic like a Kowa.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Cheers,
Seb

I have always wanted to test with Fuijnon MK cine zooms. They look beautiful and are parfocal so you could do a zoom with anamorphic attachment. I have never seen a test yet.

The SLR Magic anamorphic adapter is not a great solution. It makes the package quite unwieldy as it requires follow-focus motors to mitigate the need for double focusing. 

That said I owned the MK lenses for a time... before my XT-3 bodies bit the dust and I abandoned Fuji. The MK lenses are great. Worth the money imo.

Cool! Did you ever try them with an anamorphic adapter? (other than the SLR Magic one)
