Tim Sewell Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Missed critical focus a couple of times as I was working off the camera's screen, but generally quite happy with how the adapter renders etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The have a softness to the rendering that is quite filmic and very pleasing. I was wondering how much was the adapter, how much was done in post etc, then I saw that you were also using a Takumar, so that would be contributing strongly to the look too I would imagine. I'm not a huge fan of the anamorphic streaks (except in sci-fi or action films) but one thing I really like about anamorphics is the lack of artificial sharpness and the fact that the bokeh is oval-shaped it creates additional separation in a way that circular bokeh doesn't - I find it subtly contributes to the sense that cinema is in a world that is like our world but isn't quite the same.

Tim Sewell Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Thanks for watching! I've wanted to get into anamorphic right from the get-go for precisely the reasons you mention. One thing I like about this adapter is that the flares are pretty subtle. kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I like about this adapter is that the flares are pretty subtle. I did notice the flares - they were there but not overpowering.. I'd imagine for many who are interested in the flares in-particular that this might be an interesting option to use in situations where more typical anamorphics would flare too heavily.
