Brandyn Bullock Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hello, everyone!Let me start off by introducing myself: my name is Brandyn Bullock, and I am a young filmmaker from the suburbs of Long Island, New York. I have been following my dreams as a filmmaker for five years now.Now, I am here today making this thread because I have some questions and concerns regarding an anamorphic adapter that I would like to purchase. I have been eyeing the Sun Anamorphic Adapter 16 for a few days now, and I really would like to purchase it, but there's a big problem: I don't know all too much about anamorphic lens adapter set-up!What I would like to know is if I need step-up and/or step-down rings and some kind of clamp to use the Sun adapter with my lenses? The lenses I use in my film work are the Rokinon Cine T1.5 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm since I absolutely love the images I get out of them with my T2i. Would using the Rokinons be problematic seeing as the Sun has filter thread of 40.5mm if I'm correct? If so, are there better suited lenses I could/should use with the Sun?Please let me know. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xavier Plagaro Mussard Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Do you want to experiment with an anamorphic lens or do you want to be able to shoot everytime with an anamorphic lens?? To experiment can be cheap. To have a fully functioning (ability to manual focus) anamorphic setup is expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually, I would like to have a nice anamorphic set-up to shoot with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier Plagaro Mussard Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 The Sun can be a good start point. Later you can add a Rangefinder to focus and you will be ready! ;-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've read around and I saw that either the Sun or Sankor were pretty good to start off with. My only concern at this point is whether or not I should get lenses off Ebay to use with it, or if I can use them with the Rokinons I've been using for the past year now.

Xavier Plagaro Mussard Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Try to use your actual lenses, if you find problems, then get something else. Anamorphics are not very predictable, you must try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
