Gábor Ember Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Very hard to align this way I think and you would still need to shade it. I think this is very tricky. You'll be better off with bellows than cloth. Otherwise the method is good. Close focus works like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertonesx24 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I did this once with an LA7200. I was able to get close focus, but as Gabor said keeping it aligned is tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gábor Ember Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Also I think you will be better off with diopters because if you do close focus by moving the front glass closer to the rear glass you will change the squeeze factor. Probably it will be reduced from 2x to 1.5x or so. If you use diopter the front and rear part can be farther away from each other thus the squeeze remains around the original value.

QuickHitRecord Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 At the same time, this presents an interesting optical setup that is still somewhat uncharted. If it is a signature anamorphic "look" that you are after, not too many people are going through the trouble of doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
