i have yet to learn all the tricks of the trade :)

from the brief time i have been around it seemed like a good deal compared to some other prices i have seen

besides at some point you have to bite the bullet so to speak

there's a Panasonic AG-LA7200 Conversion Anamorphic Adapter on ebay  for $900.its got about 4 hours to go and its about half the price of one i have seen advertised on this site. if i had the money i'd buy it myself. i might if it gets relisted

i had some idea that was the case from the research i had done however i'm glad to hear you confirm it.  i am looking at getting a letus anamorphic adapter for the gopro in the next few weeks as an easy entry point and to wet my feet. after that there will be a bit of experimenting going on

to generate some interest i found this today on ebay what do you guys think ?

i'm a newbie so feel free to disregard my enthusiasm

they say its been modded  from a projection lens, perhaps you people could venture an opinion  ?  i have bought two different types of projection lenses all ready to play with and or adapt  but their still in transit. in hindsight maybe i would be better off lashing out on a proper actual lens and leave the other stuff  in the man cave but  i'm undecided  at at the moment.

also found a  kowa

i assume the kowa 16 mm  would be ok on smaller camera but not full frame as it would vignette  right ?

hello all,

i'm a recent convert to anamorphic lenses

i have been  lurking for a week or so having discovered anamorphic lens after seeing something on youtube and thinking thats pretty cool and i love the lens flares as well. Been watching ebay since then and purchased these two lens a couple of days ago. Not exactly sure how to use these properly yet so there's a bit of a learning process ahead i  guess. i have a canon 60d, a nikon v1, and two gopro's. i mostly been using the gopros for video.  The canon has a movie setting but i have used it only for photos the the nikon i got for the high speed but it does it at a reduced resolution which i hadn't anticipated. so i was a little disillusioned about that.  hopefully either one or both can be used with one of the above cameras somehow. feel free to contribute any knowledge that you have amassed  over time. as im eager to learn i'll try and update the thread as things progress  thanks for your time.

very interesting as i have a canon must keep my eyes open for a Schneider anamorhic
