Evgeniy85 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 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? Camera Nikon Z6 in crop mode tested with 28mm and 50mm at 5.6 Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au8ust Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au8ust Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
