    • I'm looking around at the current anamorphic landscape and finding that while much easier to work with and capable of wider angles, the new offerings from Sirui, Blazar and Laowa lack the same jaw-dropping quality that footage from the older adapters had. I find them so clean (yes, even the Blazars) that I think that it defeats the point of shooting on anamorphic. So that brings me back to the vintage adapters, which seem to have come down in price since the modern lenses have hit the market. Plus there are now several variable diopters available for single focus. Going on character alone, what are your favorites? At one point or another, I've owned 10-20 different adapters, and I still have a modded Bell & Howell Single-Focus. But after an 11-year hiatus from anamorphic, I am looking for fresh perspectives.
    • Not a clue, I just saw that there were some products available.  A quick search reveals that the usual suspects offer them (Moment, Neewer, Smallrig, etc). Lots of them (or all of them?) will have their optics manufactured in the same factory, so they might all be similar optically.  In which case, you're choosing form-factor (for example the Moment one is square and doesn't seem to have filter threads so doesn't look like it supports a vND) and perhaps the case / system that goes with that, and also price of course.

    • The monitor needs to support N-log - SmallHDs don't. Not sure what LUTs have to do with anything, as the exposure tools are based on the incoming log signal, not the monitoring LUT...I've found that Portkeys have a few that "read" N-log as well as Atomos, but that's all.
    • https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809809423132.html I think it's newer than the one I got and I guess it's closer to $30 than $20.  If you look around, you can also find some cases that work well with it.  It can also work with some cases, as mentioned in this video by DP Journey.  I got one of those cases too, but I'm not planning to switch to it until the Apple case that I got with my phone is falling apart (should just be another 3-6 months or so, based on the lifespan of my other cases and the amount of damage I've already done to it. The main change I made from his setup is that I went with a magsafe CF Express adapter that I can put on the little folding tripod gizmo.  He also just made a video about an upgrade tripod gizmo which looks nice, but didn't seem to have anything compelling enough that I'd upgrade from the original.
