This is astounding footage  Thank you all for your replies. I will post test results when I assemble the camera and lens

I'm going to get as close as possible. Macro is essential in high speed photography. My lens will be Pentax c-mount so it's pretty uncharted waters. Thank you for your replies, but I guess I will have to test, test and test

Hello everyone, 

i'm very happy to finally join you

As the title says, I want to experiment with anamorphic converters in high speed shots. Dual focusing is not my concern at all, so projection lenses are more than adequate. What I care about are lens sharpness and close focal distance (I'm prepared to get diopters anyway). If possible, I'd like to go cheaper than Slr magic Anamorphot, which seems easiest to handle. At local auctions there's a golden Sankor Ultra HD and Schneider Cinelux WA 35, but there is very little video footage of these two on the web. I'm leaning towards Sankor since its close focus is at 1.5 meters. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
