Hi everybody, I am new to this great community, I have read the anamorphic guide , read about the different kinds of anamorphics lenses and adapters, I already have an EIKI 16C 2X to play with...it is ok but 2x seems to be too much for my liking, I know I can crop but I don't want to do that...
I have a GH3 with speedbooster, sigma 18-35 f1.8 (Nikon mount) some nikkor manual lenses 50mm 135mm, helios 44-2 58mm, 35mm pentax manual lenses, and some native m43 lenses.
I do not do any professional work, ....I know iscoramas and lomo square front are the best but out of my league, too expensive, all my search ended in two adapters:
1) the brand new slr magic anamorphot 1.33x + diopters $1,100.00
pros: brand new, sharp, flares ok, focus trough it?
cons: too clinic for some people, resale value?
2) used bolex anamorphot 8/16/1.5x....$700~$1000
pros: great organic look (film look), resale value, close focus without diopters.
cons: used, dual focus,
I have never played with any of this two, that's why I am here asking for help to all of you who have/had this adapters..
what would you suggest?
thank you in advance for your time and knowledge
