Slr magic anamorphot 1.33x40 Near/Normal issue

[Evgeniy85]

Hey guys,

I bought slr magic anamorphot 1.33 adaptor and I'm confused about Near/Normal setting. According to description, I need to put it on NORMAL to achieve sharp images at infinity, but it seems that NEAR looks sharper than NORMAL. At NORMAL I can't achieve sharp focus at all. Could that because of the lens?

Thanks.

Are you using the version without front vari-diopter? In that case, you need to double focus. Check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yneSk9wdJWw

I thought it was considered single focus. I was hoping to use autofocus with it.

There's a single focus version too, this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab7KFtUFv8s

Basically it's the 1.33x-40 compact with SLR Magic Rangefinder builtin, non-removable.

Also, there are two version of each, the one with near/normal focus distance and the other one with feet scale (they call it Cine, if I recall). Optically they're the same, with just different distance marking and the one with feet scale costs more.

There are several videos on youtube that can help you out on this.
