    Help with using the Tokina 0.4 diopter?

    Is it an absolute must to use anamorphic lenses on every scene? If you get good focus from 5 feet (1,5 meter) to infinity.

    Why not mix lenses. Use a normal lens and crop it in post for closeups. The audience will not notice that.

    The Kowa B/H is a beautifull lens, but use it where it shines. And practise judging distance or use a measuring tejp.

    Hello - new user here..

    My name is David, lives in Sweden. Fond user of anamorphic lenses.
    I actually has this place to thank for that. It was 2011 i got hold of a good
    Kowa 16H. After some research.
     
    My, like everybody else's idea, was to film with it..
    But it was pretty hard holding a camera and focusing the two lenses at
    the same time. So i had to rethink my shoots and mix anamorph lenses
    where it was needed and use normal lenses for faster work.
     
    So i´ve managed to get hold of a another Kowa. My idea was to combine
    the two with a normal lens and a wide one, so it went faster to change lense
    on set. Well.. it didnt work out so good.
     
    So far i´ve made one musicvideo and one shortfilm (with one scene)
    with the Kowa. Then i got hold of another anamorph lens. Looks like an Optex,
    except there is no name on it. And it lacks a focusring.
    I haven't used it so much, yet. I guess these lenses can't fucus near.
    This one works ok on two meters aprox.
     
    Anyway. I've started using the Kowa more on still pictures, like this one.
    The sharpness and the level of detail is pretty awesome for photos.
     
    Im going to take some photos of that other, no-brand Anamorphic lens.
    Maybe you guys here can help me shed some light on it.
