My “Pocket Anamorphic” setup i’m working on. Waiting for a couple eastern european guys to finish with a small scale front focuser prototype for these little 8mm scopes. -
Right now it’s a great time to pick up older adapters vs new modern $$$ anamorphic lenses. The 2x stretch and even 1.5x stretch of the older adapters looks really good to my eyes compared to the modern offerings. The Yen is also fairly weak so buying from Japanese websites takes it to another level. There’s also a nice middle ground and I’ve had a blast choosing from the best of both worlds. My favorites in 2025 1. Most Kowa Prominar 2x and 1.75x versions. $200 now 2. Elmoscope II because they are usually in amazing condition and equal to the Kowa’s but cheaper because they are not as well known. $150 now 3. Smaller 8mm scopes because they are fun and I’m working on a tiny solution with old small Rangefinder glass and Fuji APS-C $100 - $150 now 4. Blazar Nero 1.5x adapter because it’s good and you can play with completely different looks depending on taking lens and sensor size. Looks really good on APS-C and gets very funky on Full frame. $500 or less now on the used market if your patient. 5. Siuri 1.25x adapter mod where you take out the anamorphic and convert it to just a DIY Variable focusing adapter for cheap. That way you can have a budget focusing option for the older adapters at a reasonable cost. $250

Its so rare with Nikon that I can say it never happens. They may fix a couple of bugs, but tweaking features and performance after announcement date and before shipping date? Very unlikely. -
This is a good result from the Korean test of the ZR, but note that it is on a 4K timeline (whereas, the one I posted above was for 6K R3D NE on a 6K timeline): 6K or 8K on a 4K timeline will always result in a better DR performance on Imatest. Paule's test of the ZR against the S1 II was also really informative, especially when it comes to the ZR's advantage for highlight roll-off. But it is difficult to compare between his test scenario and CineD's, which uses NR to determine underexposure stops. For example, CineD also rated the Canon R1 at 9 stops latitude and equal to the S1 II. However, I'm not sure most people will see the benefit of those claimed 9 stops as they involve heavy NR. I did see a very recent interview where the Nikon rep, Ricci Chera, showed a production version of the ZR and noted that all the testers were pre-production models. It is entirely possible that Nikon has tweaked the camera for better DR or other performance aspects and that these cameras are now making it into the hands of the consumers. Chera also implies at 10:00 that the "Z-cinema family" will fill out an entire range of cameras and lenses, which means that more Z-cinema branded products are coming to market. -

If you're using Chrome, you can just right click on some random part of the page and select "translate to english" and it does a pretty decent job.
