Andrew - SLR Magic

We recommend the SLR Magic HyperPrime 25mm T0.95 III for micro four thirds and the SLR Magic 50mm F1.1 for E-mount S35 because it is not compatible with all lenses and it is not possible for us to try all lenses from other manufacturers to test for compatibility. The lens is better paired with lenses with smaller front elements with a short distance between front element and rear element of the Anamorphot 1,33x-40. At NAB we tried the Anamorphic 1,33x-40 on the Zeiss Loxia 35mm f/2 and the image is great as it fulfills the compatibility conditions.

For PL we will offer 1.33x Anamorphot prime lens set for s35 system. We will offer 2x Anamorphot prime lens set for micro four thirds system.

Dear Tim,
The lens set is already available for purchase by contacting support@slrmagic.com.

You may get vignetting when using 82mm Achromatic Diopters due to the edge thickness. For regular 82mm filters you need to trial and error.
What you may do is set the Rangefinder to a closer focusing distance then find the sweet spot of your dual focus setup. It helps to bring down the MDF below the rated 3'6 at the expense of dual focusing again but at least you get your eye shot!

Timotheus, we also have a +1.8 Achromatic Diopter in 77mm for our Anamorphot lenses. Thx!

One is made for 77mm or smaller thread and the other is made for 72mm or smaller thread. Same coating and optics. One has witness markings for focus puller and the other does not. The 72mm version was made for those who want to pull focus but do not need to see focus markings when doing so. For those with a Vid-Atlantic or Redstan 72mm front filter clamp the 72mm version would work directly on it.

You could buy the Rangefinder with Imperial markings with 77mm thread at Adorama already http://www.adorama.com/SLRRCA.html
The Rangefinder without Imperial markings is 72mm thread only and not compatible with the SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x-50 with 77mm thread and will not be offered to avoid confusion.

The Rangefinder with Near/Normal ring is a genuine SLR Magic Rangefinder. We have launched the product for sale in Hong Kong only at the moment.
It has 72mm rear filter thread and does not work with the SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x-50 and 2,0x-50 that well with a step-down ring.
Owners of the Anamorphot should look for the 77mm version of the Rangefinder with (Imperial) witness markings.

3d-kraft.com managed to shoot 35mm f/2.8 on the A7R FF sensor with the Anamorphot 1,33x - 50

Please note not all 35mm lens combo works on FF.

The SLR Magic Anamorphot works well with the SLR Magic 35mm T1.4 CINE II but it does not necessary work well with any taking lens. It is more likely for the SLR Magic Anamorphot to work with prime lenses with a front element diameter smaller than 50mm (not filter thread diameter). If the front element is larger than 50mm you either need to stop down or it may not even work at all. The lens is also more likely to be compatible with prime lenses.
 
So far this is what we know that works from user feedback:
 
Blackmagic Pocket MFT camera only
SLR Magic 17mm f/1.6 @2.8
Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 @2.8
 
MFT cameras
 
Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 @1.7
Voightlander 25mm f/0.95 @0.95
SLR Magic 35mm T1.4 CINE II @2.8
Canon EF STM f/2.8 @2.8
Contax 45mm f/2.8 @2.8
Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 @2.8
Contax 60mm f/2.8 @4.0
Leica Summicron-R 90mm f/2 @5.6
Contax 100mm f/2 @5.6
Prakticar 135mm f/2.8 @5.6

The version now intercuts better with Panavision anamorphic lenses and the version before intercuts better with Iscorama anamorphic lenses.

We are only going to have one final version and the flare is blue. Same version as the one in Andrew's review.

The version taken to LA could have been the final version of the SLR Magic - Anamorphot. We had been trying hard to change the flares to blue and we managed to succeed just before we start shipping out the units to our volunteer testers. The coating is now final and flares will be blue. Legacy anamorphic adapters usually flare white, yellow, or green. Cinema anamorphics usually flare blue streaks so we tried very hard to make the lens flare the same way cinema anamorphics do.

The lenses are not available for order till December 2012 for the 35mm T1.4 and Feb 2013 for the 35mm T0.95. By then the website will be updated with the new products.
