Loved the dolly zoom.

Thank you!

We don’t meet their criteria.

Correct!

We did not use the rangefinder for this one. Thanks for watching!

@@RedlegfilmsChi What is your opinion for the rangefinder ?

It makes things easier, plus it inadvertently acts as a diopter. If you set the rangefinder to minimum focus (about 3.5 ft) you can then use the lens’s focus to get focus even closer. But the added extension means wider angle lenses won’t work, since you’d see the barrel. All in all it’s a nice addition, but we didn’t get a ton of use out of it.

Yes, the Anamorphot definitely softens the image! We used Sigma Art lenses which start out pretty sharp. We were able to go to f/2, which was fine on the 24mm and 35mm, but the softness was more noticeable on the 50mm. 85mm was unusable. All in all because of the vignetting at 24mm and softness issues starting at 50mm, 35mm seemed to be the sweet spot on the C200’s crop sensor.

Redlegfilmsfpf wow, go figure. U would never think with an image this great that the adapter would be that problematic. But this dialogue is helpful. Really appreciate it!

Thank you!

No, you won’t get any vignetting with a 50mm on full frame (we found that starts at about 40mm), but focus will obviously be less forgiving than a 35mm or 24mm. You will probably want to stick to f/4 and above. Maybe you can get away with f/2.8, but anything below that will be out of focus on a 50mm. Hope that helps!

50mm on full frame should be okay. We found 40mm is the lowest you can go.

Yes and no. With a 24mm lens we had to use clear image zoom at 1.7x crop in order to get rid of the barrel of the adapter and vignetting. So with an 18mm you’ll have to zoom in further, but at that point the 18mm focal length is hardly worth it. Without using clear image zoom, 24mm is about the lowest you can go on a crop sensor without vignetting, and 40mm is the lowest you can go with a full frame sensor. Hope this helps!

Thanks! In our experience vintage or modern doesn’t matter as much as focal length and sharpness of the lens. The anamorphot adds a softness and you see the barrel of the adapter under 24mm with a crop sensor camera and under 40mm with a full frame camera. We have successfully used it on the Sigma 30mm f1.4 on an a6300, but it was too soft under f2.8. Hope that helps!

You should be ok, but the adapter adds a softness that can sometime make focusing difficult.

The Anamorphot squeezes a 1:2.35 field of view into a 16x9 frame, so the image out of the camera looks stretched horizontally and you do need to bring the scale down on it to 76% to get the image to look right, so that’s where the black bars come from. This is better demonstrated in our C200 example: Vixen 82: Canon C200 4K + SLR Magic kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHPPlGh5eJ2noLM ... Since posting this KZbin has started hosting videos with a 1:2.35 aspect ratio, but at the time 16x9 was the only thing available so the black bars were unavoidable. We put the black bars on some of the spherical shots to show the difference between putting black bas on a spherical image to fake anamorphic (very common and we are also guilty of) and true anamorphic. Thanks for watching!

Redlegfilmsfpf I also have an anamorphot, but the first time I saw this video it seemed that you were losing information. My bad.

No worries! It was a legit observation.

Thank you! We agree, needs more views so please share!

Thanks! We do too 😉

Thanks!

The Anamorphot threads to the front of an EF Mount lens. The adapter comes with several adapter rings, but we needed to purchase a 77mm-62mm step down ring to get the adapter (62mm rear thread) on the lens (77mm filter thread). Thanks for watching!

this info isnt in the description but the SLR Magic Anamorphot is an adapter. And they probably put it on top of their already owned lenses.

Thank you!

The RAW dynamic range and color potential as well as ergonomics, modularity, etc. on the C200 make it a better fit for a feature film. Or as our DP put it, 'OMG YES!'

if film is you chase. go blackmagic. color science is king!

Sigma Art lens, thanks for watching!

awesome thank you :)

Redlegfilmsfpf can you elaborate on which lens you used this adaptor with? Sigma 24? Full frame? E mount?

We have the rangefinder but did not use it in this test. The 24 was a Sigma. Thanks for watching!
