Caleb Genheimer Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hi, all! Has as anyone found any good wide angle adapters for Kowa 16-H/8Z? It's one of the wider projection lenses (50mm ff taking lens if cropped to 2.40:1), but it doesn't quite get that Hollywood wide anamorphic look. I've been looking at the Dog Shidt Optics FF38, but I'm not sure if it would work to put the projection lens between the ff58 and the ff38 wide angle adapter front end.

ken Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 16h on FF max wide prime lens can be used is 75mm. I think 50mm is only in crop mode.IMO, to get widest, must use 1.33X. On iPhone 5s lens, 30mm original equivalent FL, gets 22.5mm wide angle using moondog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richg101 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hi, all! Has as anyone found any good wide angle adapters for Kowa 16-H/8Z?

I've been looking at the Dog Shidt Optics FF38, but I'm not sure if it would work to put the projection lens between the ff58 and the ff38 wide angle adapter front end.unfortunately the ff38 has a rear element clear aperture of 36mm, So puts some limitation on its use with anamorphic lenses. the ff38 has been designed to fulfil near transparent afocal optical performance when used on a 36mmx24mm sensor area on a 58mm/f2 aperture. Being over engineered it does infact cope with as wide as 50mm,f1.4 apertures without significant light transmission loss or vignette on 36x24mm sensors. 50mm taking lens plus a 2x ana on 36mm sensor width cropped tp 2.4/1 is approximately similar to a 35mm spherical taking lens on a 36mm wide sensor area cropped to 2.4/1, so using a ff38 on the front will likely produce vingette too harsh to make the expense and extra weight/length worthwhile. I'd played around with making scaled up ff38's with 50mm rear elements but 95% of users don't realised or value how hard it is to manufacture a wa attachmant that does what the ff38 does, and as such a £500-600 price point aint viable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Forsman Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 rich, I know you have many, many irons in many, many fires but do you think an FF25 attachment is still likely? **apologies for hijacking this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Genheimer Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Of course, the Trump lens set is an excellent alternative to anamorphic altogether, but my luck will have to improve somewhat before I'm scraping those bad boys off my boot heel.

robbing Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 You can do this:But you´ll need a kind of focus module to infinite focus to avoid heavy mump and vignette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshelgar Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 You can just put a wide angel adapter in front of your anamorphic, Cosimo Murgolo posted a few pics on the Anamorphic Shooters Facebook page with a 0;6x wide angel agapter in front of his baby HyperG, gives you a wider FOV. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1473846862917052&set=gm.1079536928724611&type=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
