Simon Cote Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I have this Isco Anamorphot 1.5x. I really like the dreamy feel of it. But it's quite hard to focus things that are maybe 3-5 ft away (whitout any diopters). I get sharp closeup with the 40mm dioptier that came with it but then I can only do close-up cannot focus to infinity. I see people uses a +0.5 diopter to maybe +1 diopter to get sharper images with their Anamorphic lenses. Is there a good diopter option I could get so I could still get the infinity focus and be able to close focus (without being big close-ups) Anyone can help me out ? Close-up with the 40mm diopter without diopter I can't focus right when closer to the subject! It would be perfect If I could focus that close and then get infinity also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SigurdW Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 If I understand your question correctly, do some research on: SLR Magic Rangefinder, Rectilux CoreDNA or FM Lens (Focus Module). These products allows a focusing range from ≈1 meter to infinity. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These solution are all quite expensive I thought I could simply use a diopter that could help me to get a closer focus distance while keeping the ability to focus to infinity without having to unscrew that diopter.

Cheers What you want is impossible, as a diopter always limits your maximum focus distance. So no infinity, but closer focus yes.
