On Test - The Final Slr Magic Anamorphot 50 X 1.33

[Andrew - SLR Magic]

Strange that the flare in your footage is not blue like Andrew's. It's white or little green (ND filter?).

Andrew said "..it remains blue no matter what the light source is.". So maybe a different kind of prototype?

 

The version taken to LA could have been the final version of the SLR Magic - Anamorphot. We had been trying hard to change the flares to blue and we managed to succeed just before we start shipping out the units to our volunteer testers. The coating is now final and flares will be blue. Legacy anamorphic adapters usually flare white, yellow, or green. Cinema anamorphics usually flare blue streaks so we tried very hard to make the lens flare the same way cinema anamorphics do.

Hello Andrew

Nice Blog Forum and reviews

could you please tell me if we can use the Anamorphot with zoom like the sigma 18-35 1.8 ?

 

thanks

 

Hello JuanK, and welcome to the jungle.

 

No you can't use zoom or lenses with bigger front element than 50mm

"The lens it's fitted to should have a front element diameter smaller than 50mm or vignetting is likely, as the adapter's rear element (or its clean aperture, at least) is 50mm. Also note that the weight of the adapter makes it unsuitable for direct attachment to most servo-focus primes as the load on the focusing mechanism would be excessive. "

It will be nice to see some Bokeh tests. to see how bright highlights in the background get resolved.

I really like the flare colouring here, is there going to be a non-blue option for those of us not shooting music videos or sci fi?

[Juank]

that was the prototype or pre-production model, may be

they release both if the is people asking for it

[Andrew - SLR Magic]

We are only going to have one final version and the flare is blue. Same version as the one in Andrew's review.

I much preferred that natural flare version above to the vivid blue. It is pretty distracting in many situation to have royal blue lines across your image, but a natural, context sensitive flare can do wonders.

 

Still, it'll work for hip-hop and blade runner style vids! But I think it may turn away a fair few people... a natural coloured flare can settle in any genre, even realistic narrative.

Thanks Andrew

are you gonna  make a bigger one for bigger lenses or a 2X for 4:3 format ?

[Andrew - SLR Magic]

Not at this time will we be making one for wider or one for 2X. Whatever we end up making we expected people to hope for wider or lighter weight or hope for 1.5x or 2x.

Thanks Andrew for your feedback

 

I'm already very interested in the Anamorphot adapter, I really love the frames

from andrew on this review with the final product (whith blue flare). I will order for sure!!!

 

IF you make a bigger one a  2X  I will order also one

 

keep going , nice products

We are only going to have one final version and the flare is blue. Same version as the one in Andrew's review.

 

Works for the Panavision C-Series, which has been used quite beautifully in every single genre of film.  Good choice.

[Andrew - SLR Magic]

The version now intercuts better with Panavision anamorphic lenses and the version before intercuts better with Iscorama anamorphic lenses.

hello, 

 

Regarding the flares, are obligatory blue! It is not possible to give a natural color depending on the light ? 

 

On the Iscorama, flares are natural ?
