Thank you Hans and premini for the reply!

I understand now why I had a 2,82:1 ratio in my test photos. The focus was made between infinity and minimus focus.

My goal is to have all the images with the same aspect ratio. So, maybe I will adopt the 2,35:1 ratio to be true cinemascope :)

Hi,

I'm starting doing anamorphic photography and EOSHD has been great helping me understanding this technic.

I'm shooting with a Nikon Df that have a 3:2 ratio. My anamorphic adapter is a Kowa Prominar 16-H 2x.

To find the aspect ratio, I took a photo at home to a circular box and squeezed the image until it turned circular. It gave me a ratio of 2,82:1, as you can see in this image https://www.dropbox.com/s/bmq13xv97syuzx5/DSC_7602_2%2C82.jpg?dl=0

I read an article somewhere that talked about a value of 2,66:1. I tried that but the box resulted a little ovalized https://www.dropbox.com/s/qxmxy9qtn9iokgi/DSC_7602_2%2C66.jpg?dl=0

Is my aspect ratio correct? I have this doubt because I can't find anywhere what's the best ratio when we are shooting in 3:2.

My first anamorphic images with a 2,82:1 ratio

Thank you,

Nuno Boavida
