Review Summary

Ordered this for a feature film promo shoot the other week and immediately put it to work with my BMPCC 4K camera and Rokinon 24mm Cine DS EF mount lens with FotodioX EF to MFT adapter. I was expecting more vignetting, chromatic shift and blurring at the edges of the picture, but this set up is really forgiving. I didn't have a tape measure to set focus on the Anamorphot precisely and estimated the distance to my subjects. The camera, lens and adapter in combination I found to be very forgiving and the imagery I got really looks like classic film. The only slightly disappointing part of this adapter is there's no dampening to the focus and feels like you're focusing sandpaper. Would be nice if the lens focus had some form of dampening to smooth things out. I am thinking a motorized and synced two motor follow focus set up will help make that less of an issue. Will see how it fares on the BMPCC 6K that I have ordered and the adapter/taking lenses on a Super 35mm sensor.

Anamorphic adapter
4.5" (114mm) for Matte Box
Front: 112mm
Rear: 82mm
Multi Coated
4' (1.2m)
1.7 lb (780g)
The Anamorphot 1.33x - 65 accommodates lenses with a front element size of up to 65mm and has a rear thread size of 82mm.
Because the adapter features an internal focus design, the overall housing maintains the same size while focusing and front diameter can accomodate any industry 114mm clamp-on matte box.
The addition of a front thread will allow the use of screw in filters and diopters.
The Anamorphot 1.33x - 65 is incredibly versatile, adaptable to a wide range of prime lenses and zooms but still compact in size and form factor.
The Anamorphot 1,33x-65 is compatible with a larger variety of camera and lens packages, including SLR Magic MicroPrime lenses.
Also, the adapter is compatible with popular Fujinon MK 50-135mm T2.9 zoom lenses, mounting directly to a 82mm thread. When mounted on a Fujinon MK 50-135mm, the integration of the adapter appears like a single unit.
Using costly or vintage lenses for anamorphic shooting has not always been reliable, or achieves the best results. By combining anamorphic fundamentals, current technology and precision optics, SLR Magic provide a reliable solution for anamorphic shooters without compromising quality.
Trying to achieve a true anamorphic "look" in post cannot be emulated or faked. By cropping a standard 16:9 aspect ratio using a spherical lens, it discards 25% resolution of the overall image. Using the SLR Magic 1,33x-65 will preserve all pixels from the sensor and give you 33% more optical resolution and field of view from the camera. Additionally, the close focus distance for the 1.33x-65 is 4 feet.
