BrorSvensson Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Hi! Im thinking about getting a sankor 16c for my setup to use for fun every once in a while, im using a Sony A7 and Nikkor Ai primes. With the 2x anamorphic i will be getting a 3.5:1 aspect ratio and that's little wide for me. I would like to get an aspect ratio of around 2.5:1. How much image degradation will it be to crop the 3.5:1 down to 2.5:1? Is it an valid option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Copoeru Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 open a sequence in premiere with 2560x1080 resolution, pop in that footage, stretch width 2x, boom, your'e doneno degradation, just some detail that will be left out from 2.39 to 3.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Krause Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 With the de-squeezing method from Gabriel you will get some small image degradation because you are stretching your image horizontally by a factor of 2x. So you are effectively up-sampling horizontally. Vertically you still got the full resolution so no change there. All in all the de-squeezing in this case is hurting the horizontal resolution a bit, but from my experience this will only be a minor if not negligible degradation. I actually did the same thing because my A7s can only record in 16:9 and I got a Rectimascop 48/2x anamorphic adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
