I just received my Kowa 2x Bell and Howell in the mail today and I'm trying to attach it to my various lenses and then to my GH2.

I'm having a hard time deciphering a few things based off my limited findings on the web.

1) Do I need a special adapter to attach to my lenses or can I simply used regular modern step down and step up rings?

Buy a Redstan adaptor, they are rock solid better than those from Vid-Atalantic and other (some french guy also sells adaptors for anamorphics but they also look very thin too me)

Redstan on ebay

I have not brought a lens gear yet, i stupidly forgot to add it to the cart. Your Uk based arent you? They have a UK site now as well - [url="http://www.ginirigs.co.uk/"]http://www.ginirigs.co.uk/[/url] - not sure how the prices compare but should be the same in pounds im guessing.

And 20 percent off untill the end of august. The GH2 rig looks nice for that price... but then again shipping 75 quid??

Damn missed that one... better next time

Watch eBay! Someone listed a brand new one last night and it was snapped up within a couple of hours...

I'm using QT Edit to set the pixel ratio to PAL anamorphic and then import the footage into FCPX

Question: Is it possible to put a ND filter in the anamorphic or the taking lens?  I shot after sunset.  Thanks for looking.  Q&A is welcomed.

Yes you can use a ND filter. The filter goes on the anamorphic lens. I have used a variable ND filter (77mm) on 2 of my anamorphic lenses with the use of step up ring.

Hi, Take a look to [url=http://www.redstan.com]www.redstan.com[/url]
They got tokina close up.
Some time ago Kostas ([url=http://vimeo.com/kpetsas]http://vimeo.com/kpetsas[/url]) wanted to sell one tokina. Maybe you can ask him.
Good luck.
Francisco.
