Strange beast - Tushinsky Superscope

[Matthias Malleši�]

Today just arrived Tushinsky variable ration anamorphic projection lens. Some tests I made today didn't prove much useful (shot with GF3 with ETC), will post some more in next days. I haven't found any videos made through this adapter on the net. Anybody's got some experience with this beast?

There was a super panatar on ebay recently that looked a lot like this.  Oddly enough, even it, for all its size, didn't allow for wide angle anamorphic photography.

Well, Toni..this lens was not really intended for handheld shooting. For 15,50e it came cheap and I wouldn't mind if they would not work at all, having it hung down from the upper corner of my workshop....but owning a piece of history it seemed as a nice idea (besides already having smaller anamorphics for hhs) and I wanted to experiment with prism-design anamorphic...it surely needs some longer focal length taking lens, but yesterday I finally figured out how ETC on my camera (cropped sensor) is supposed to be working...not on 1080i AVCHD, but only on 720p AVCHD or MJPEG (80-140Mb/s)....Years ago I used to be Betacam operator, so on the other hand I don't mind using heavier gear, in fact it's easier to hold it without shakes....

Use it to project your anamorphic videos

I will surely use it for one of my next short-film projects, the whole project will be filmed through this lens. By the way, here's my last one (one week ago, non-anamorphic GF3 short-film):
