Went out and shot some more 50D footage the other day, details on Vimeo.

Did another test with the 50D

My 50D test, I'm looking forward to shooting a proper project with it.

Thanks John, I'll give it a go.

I just held the lens in front a 50mm on my 550d and i can see the edges, I guess I'll need a longer lens to avoid this. 

How about a wide angle adapter screwed into the front of the anamorphic? Do you know what diameter the front screw thread is?

With regard to closeups, I see people are using diopters. Would a set of these mean the anamorphic stays on one lens and then you screw on a diopter when you want a closeup?

Sorry for all the questions!

Thanks for that John.

What's the procedure for shooting with an anamorphic? Do I mount it to a 50mm and shoot everything with that single lens or move it onto longer focal lengths and shoot closeups on say a 90mm? 

Also on a 50mm it would give a 25mm field of view which isn't particularly wide on APS-C, is there any way to go wider?

Thanks

Hi,

I was having a clear out at home and found my old anamorphic lens. I think I bought it about 15 years ago and used to use it with a super8 projector.

I don't know much about the make and model, does anyone know anything about this lens? Is it any good? Here's the lens.

I see from this forum that people are using similar anamorphics to shoot with. Can anyone recommend a lens to pair it with? 

Thanks in advance

Tony

Looks good Julian, very filmic. I have a 50D right here but still waiting for my CF card! its's taking ages. 

I'm itching to test out the build.
