As I understood it, the filler is the best tobacco in the center and where more of the flavour comes from, the binder holds it together and the wrapper is the pretty leaf that goes on the outside.

@outsideworlds ah got it thanks

We were just there for the show man 🙂

Good idea, but moving the lens back and forth would only focus the taking lens, not the anamorphic adapter. I'm glad someone finally noticed the beer 😀

LOL, you made my day with that comment. Thanks.

At this time I made this I didn't know they existed. I've learned a lot since then :-D Thanks for the tip.

Aaaaand the more i watch this, the more my jaw drops. This is absolutely epic

future lens creator so cool

Which plastic device do you mean? All the plastic parts are 3D printed. You can find the files to print them yourself at www.thingiverse.com/thing:4832093

@@outsideworlds Hello. I meant the same devices that you have given the link to. Where can I buy these? And that I want to make it for the Canon EF mount. Do I still need the same nex adapter? Thank you

@@NikeKalisand all the parts are 3D printed, so if you don't have a 3D printer you would need to find a print service or a friend with a 3D printer. All the other parts (screws, ball bearings, steel balls) I think I ordered off of Amazon. I'm located in Germany, so my Amazon links probably won't help you much. It should be possible to adapt this design to EF mount. You will need to adjust some of the 3D part files, or find someone who's able to do so. I don't have a camera with an EF mount, so unfortunately I can't help you much there.

By the way, I am also in Germany, near Hamburg. I don't understand what you mean by 3D printer. I mean, a 3D printer should produce those parts for me.

@@NikeKalisand Here's all the links This is the 3D printer I used: www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07P64GQKV/ The ball berrings: www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07CLLY912/ Steel balls: www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08MNZNBS2/ M42 - NEX adapter: www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B01HGDFTUO/ Screws, nuts, etc. you can get at any big hardware store. Like I wrote, you'd need to make adjustments to the 3D model to use a different adapter, e.g. to EF. Hope that helps. Good luck!

The way it was explained to me at the time was that this is the style of cigar you'd roll for yourself, not necessarily what you'd roll if you were selling it.

mmwuh? How do you mean convert, and what kind if lenses do you mean? I mean, if you have an actual anamorphic lens there should be some lens adaptor or such to get it stuck to the front of the camera in a way that's aligned more or less enough whip the photons where they need to go... You'll have to desqueeze the image probably but there are tools for that. So, point being if you have a something anamorphic that attaches to something and does the thing you want, but you want it to attach to something else, it shouldn't be that hard 🙂 Worst case you can sub a proper adapter for an improper one that eyeball measure puts at "about right", a dremel with some bits, electrical tape and a case of beer, put them in a big shaker, drink the beer, shake it shake it - when you wake up you'll have an engineering marvel the likes of which mankind has yet to see. Alternatively, give me the scoop on the lens(es) you mean and I'll give it a shake and let you know 🙂

We like to refer to that as "character" 😀 It's a lens with a definite look and not something I'd use for every project.

how is it turning out? ordered some seeds today

Trust me, no one is more amazed that it worked that I am 😀

Yes, yes I can.

It should work with the Sankor, but you'll probably have to make some adjustments: you'd have to adjust the gear ring which attaches to the focus ring of the sankor, you'd have to change the clamp to fit it and you'd probably have to change the gear box. Basically you measure the angle of the focus throw of the anamorphic adapter from infinity to 1.5 meters, divide it by the focus throw of the helios and you have your target gear ratio. If you reply with those measurements, I'll adjust the model on thingyverse.

@@outsideworlds thanks buddy i"ll try to.

Interesting yes, but it would be such a low volume kit, I can't imagine it working financially. If anyone wants to try, I'm open to collaborate.

For EF you would need some machined metal parts. For this design I'm using the m42->E-mount adapter as a base to which I attach everything else. Because the flange focal distance of m42 and EF is so close, the adapter is very thin and there's nothing to attach to.

It was an amazing day. After I shot this video we sat with the farmers for a couple more hours playing dominos and drinking rum.

Nice. I remember when everyone was shooting with DOF adapters on HDV cameras. Those were the days 😀
