2015 has been unexpectedly busy already work-wise. This is awesome but it means that I have no time for personal projects and so I'm selling my Canon/Kowa anamorphic setup. I've used this mainly for home movies and fun little things and just love that look.... but I can't justify it sitting lonely on the shelf like a guilty secret.

Here's the breakdown from L-R:

  • Komputerbay 64Gb 1066x CF card
  • 2 x Canon batteries
  • Canon 7D
  • 3rd party battery grip
  • Strap
  • EOS lens cap
  • M42/EOS adapter
  • Helios 44-2 58/2 (has a 49mm-58mm ring glued to the front)
  • 58mm-52mm ring
  • Redstan Clamp
  • Kowa 8-Z Anamorphic
  • Redstan Filter Clamp
  • 72mm-77mm ring
  • 77mm lens cap

All in really good condition apart from the helios which is in the condition of a helios! Oh, and a battery charger of course.

And here is the last thing I shot entirely with this combo:

 

 

If you are looking to get into anamorphic RAW shooting this kit is everything you need on the hardware side to get started. Blending the 7D raw with the helios and kowa gets you a look very like 16mm film to me with all of the incredible flexibility of raw video.

£1000 including paypal fees and tracked UK delivery. Discounts for cash and you are welcome to come inspect in Oxford. Will post overseas at buyers expense. If you want me to shoot something specific or you have any questions message me!

what is the max resolution that 7d can shoot when shooting raw. And with kowa is that 2x stretch to me looks 1.5 in the video how did you achieve that with kowa

​It depends a bit on frame rate, normal vs 3x crop, continuous or buffer limited - but at 25fps I get:

(1.2:1ish) 1504x1156 - continuous

(4:3ish) 1600x1156 - continuous

(1.5:1) 1728x1156 - 42 seconds

(16:9) 1728x972 - continuous

(2.39:1) 1728x724 - continuous

These last two upscale to fill a 1080 frame really well. You can get all sorts of wacky huge resolutions in 3x crop mode but only nine or ten seconds of footage before recording stops.

 

The Kowa is 2x. I shot that vid at 1472x1156, unsqeezed and scaled down to fit 1920x804, slightly cropping left and right.

​I thought 7d can do raw with ML.Would you say that 7d is better then 60d for raw with magic lantern Thanks

Yep, 7D does shoot raw. All of those resolutions I listed are the raw resolutions one can shoot with the camera.

I've never used a 60D so I can't compare them directly.... but yeah, basically the 7D is much better as it uses CF rather than SD cards, can reach higher resolutions and record for longer.
