and he said it' very good.

and we trust Tito so much that we believe everything that comes out of his mouth, especially when he pushes chinese anamorphic stuff in his lousy youtube channel for $$$$$$$$. Wake up my friend!

These assholes should be boycotted altogether, so sorry to hear this. Just one thing Andrew, why not using your own website or facebook to sell your stuff? I mean, with all your followers it would have been more safe less expensive and I am sure more fun. Good luck for the rest of your stuff!

I don't know what others Super 8 anamorphic lens can do so, none I supposed.

Thanks Seb, I always used a FF sensor also on baby hypergonar and agfa moller 19/1.5X , the stills attached are from the  baby hypergonar with helios on 5D3.

No? I know it's easy to be a troll about anything on the internet. But I was just looking for a good faith answers like Grimor provided.

just a simple answer to your question, that's all, no need to get upset about it. There isn't a cheap alternative  2x scope that goes wide as those you mentioned. If you then are looking for a 2x scope same size of those you mentioned it's another story. Your personal troll

Just wondering if there cheaper options for a short scope beside the kowa & elmo II

NO!

Are you in full frame ? What is the taking lens ? Thanks

Yes, full frame as always , helios 13 blades

and this was produced mid 50's for 8mm film!!

No computers! No automated lathes!

Pure Maths and Master craftsmanship!

Big LOL at more recent so called anamorphic bogies!

that explains everything, now is all clear!  Thanks

Yes. If you have a single focus solution, then it will go from minimum to maximum.
I'll post some footage later, using it zooming from close range to infinity.

yeah sorry, I was a bit confused about the whole story and I wanted to be sure I understood well, thanks

Short vid zooming from infinity to 16 inches and back.

thanks for taking the time, what camera taking lens and at what aperture did you shoot the test?

On 9/9/2020 at 5:54 AM, Henchman said:

Yea, I'm talking about the telecine version withnthe recessed back lense.

Does it go from minimum to infinity? Thanks!

On 9/2/2020 at 3:15 AM, Henchman said:

But now it's razor sharp, and with a Single focus adapter, it can focus up to 16 inches.

which single focus adapter allows you to get close to 16 inches.? so If I am understanding it  right now the telecine moller version  goes from 16 inches to infinity? Thanks

On 9/2/2020 at 3:15 AM, Henchman said:

I took it apart, removed the focusing guides, and started shifting the front lens forward, and suddenly it focused.

are you talking about the telecine version? Thanks 

Sirui has not anamorphic characteristics at all so you can zoom in and out  as you wish , you won't notice any loss. 😉

the rare anamorphot 22/1.5x Zeiss ikon beats both of them, sorry! 😉 

Obviously I was just joking with my statement because I think that each of these little beauties has its own character and that it is up to those who use them to enhance their characteristics and make good use of them artistically in what they want to represent.

Sorry, I did not mean to sound mean. But this is not how internet works, I am free to voice my opinion. I see a BS post and I call it out. OP pretentiously talks about "galilean action" and "horizontal artifacts", yet the images are highly uninspiring home shots with some of the ugliest flares I've seen. Then he proceeds to post lenses that look butchered. It seems he just took a hacksaw to some schneider cinelux lenses, then butchered some other lenses and randomly paired elements until he got a useable image. Using pseudo scientific terms to describe this process does not make it anything different. Just pure lens hacking. Pointless exercise, because no self-respecting DP will use something like this to shoot anything remotely important. Sure, if you want to learn by destroying lenses – go ahead. They don't make them anymore though.

But what really worries me is that I see at least 4 different kids in these shots. I don't know how old OP is, and I don't want to assume their gender, but this is not normal. 

To be honest what Dan Sasaki from Panavision says is much more valuable to me than what you wrote.You can read my private conversation i had with him. These are only DIY prototypes  and there is no hacksaw involved, even a child would know that these would of course benefit from a new housing , but since I am not selling it or launching anything on the market I am not worried. But most of all  please do not worry at all about my children, I am the father. How dare you!

No offense, but this is pointless. I mean, maybe if you have too much time on quarantine it's an interesting hobby, but it looks like you simply ruined schneider cinelux lenses. Any cheap sankor lens can do much better than this, with nice waterfall background. Get yourself a good cinelux and it will be a proper lens with good image, that won oscar.  I don't know what's a point in these, they look hacked together, not suitable even for lowest budget indie productions. I don't think any DP would put that on their camera. Maybe you should look at Rapido Technologies, they make good products like cases for anamorphics with engravings. etc. They still don't look very good, just a dull black pipe, but anything would look better than this. I think this would scare away any model or client when they see it in front of the camera. Maybe that explains why you only photograph kids and have no serious work to show with these.

let off steam, remember to clean up when you're done.
