Modern professional cinema cameras offer large sensors capable of directly capturing images in the cinematic 2.35:1 and 2.66:1 formats using spherical lenses. However, filmmakers often crave the distinctive anamorphic "look," leading them to resort to rare vintage lenses. These vintage lenses come with practical challenges including size, weight, availability, limited close focus capabilities, and high costs. To address these issues, we set out to innovate with the SLR Magic Anamorphic lens.
SLR Magic 1.33x - 50
Anamorphic Adapter
The SLR Magic Anamorphot-50 1.33x is tailored to pair seamlessly with lenses featuring a front element with a maximum diameter of 50mm, ensuring a wide range of lens compatibility for enhanced creative flexibility. When coupled with full-frame sensors, it is recommended to match the Anamorphot-50 1.33x with lenses having a focal length of 50mm or longer, ideal for maximizing the anamorphic effect and image quality on these lenses.
For S35 sensors, a focal length of 35mm or longer is suggested when using the Anamorphot-50 1.33x to achieve optimal results tailored to this sensor size. Similarly, for Micro Four Thirds sensors, lenses with a focal length of 20mm or longer are recommended to ensure compatibility and the desired anamorphic output for this specific sensor format.
The Anamorphot-50 securely mounts to lenses with a non-rotating front and a 62mm front filter thread, providing a stable and reliable connection for hassle-free operation. A standout feature of the Anamorphot-50 1.33x is its user-friendly adjustable focus system, with distinct markings for normal and near focus settings. This design allows for seamless switching between focusing on subjects as close as 6.5 feet away in the "near" mode or subjects ranging from 6.5 feet to infinity in the "normal" mode, catering to a variety of shooting scenarios and creative requirements.
Through its precision engineering and comprehensive compatibility features, the SLR Magic Anamorphot-50 1.33x empowers filmmakers and photographers to unlock the creative potential of anamorphic imaging across different sensor formats, enabling them to capture captivating visuals with enhanced depth and cinematic flair.
