Hello guys,
I've been reading you quite a lot for a year or so. I'm a junior DP based in Paris, and I'm just dying for anamorphic... like you guys ;).
I would like to invest in some Iscorama 1.5 (need to decide between36 and 54 through)...
My only concern is "Wide Angle".
I absolutely need for my work a wide angle anamorphic, I used some vintage PL 2X KOWA by Rehoused PS Technik on Alexa Mini a month ago and the 40MM (2X) was just great, kinda weird / dreamy wide open was sharp when closed down and has some heavy barrel distortion that I could definitly live with. Was a cool setup but as a "junior DP" is not often that I can shoot with those kind of toys !
What's the widest field of view possible with a 1.5X Iscorama ?
I know that Richard Gale at DSO has a wide angle attatchement, could it work ? It would be a very strange setup and stacking optics makes me a bit anxious... (reflexion, sharpness...)
Would it be possible to mount this wide Angle Attatchement to an iscorama to match a "20-24mmish" spherical field of view (on full frame).
Nothing beats an anamorphic wide shot to me (perspective wise !), I do often shoot in tiny appartement and set here in Paris. It's a must have for me.
If you have any recommandation... I'm looking at a 3000-3500€ solution (adapter + wide angle).
I'm mostly shooting in Super 35 (A7S, FS7) and using a speedbooster from time to time if Full Frame look is desirable.
Taking lens will be old time Zeiss JENA Zebra.
Thanks a lot.
Regards
Nathan
