This set of anamorphic prime lenses from SLR Magic includes a 35mm, a 50mm, and a 70mm lens. The lenses provide a 1.33x horizontal squeeze, which creates a 2.35:1 aspect ratio on a 16:9 sensor. The lenses feature a PL mount and incorporate a mask within the lens to create flaring more akin to a 2x anamorphic lens.

The lenses feature geared focus and iris rings, and a rotating front makes it unwise to use a clip-on matte box as that will also rotate with the front of the lens. The 82mm front filter thread allows you to screw in filters such as diopters to shorten the 3.5' minimum focus distance. The included hard-sided case helps protect your lenses during transport and storage.

SLR Magic 35mm 1.33x Anamorphot-CINE Lens (PL Mount)

Building upon their experience with anamorphic adapters, SLR Magic produced this 35mm 1.33x Anamorphot-CINE Lens that delivers a complete, one piece, anamorphic lens with a maximum aperture of T2.4. The lens provides a 2.35:1 aspect ratio to your image when used with your 16:9 sensor. Suitable for use with cameras with a S35 sensor, the anamorphic lens allows you record an image with a wider aspect ratio than your sensor's native aspect ratio without cropping your image, which maximizes the resolution of your image.

The lens incorporates a mask that exaggerates the anamorphic lens flare effect to simulate the look of a 2x anamorphic element. The lens features a 3.5' minimum focus distance and has geared focus and iris rings. It is worth pointing out that the front of the lens rotates as you focus, which may affect your choice of matte box. The 82mm front filter thread allows you to screw in filters, such as diopters to shorten the 3.5' minimum focus distance.

This 35mm lens produces a 2.35:1 aspect ratio on 16:9 sensors. This allows you to get a greater widescreen effect while maximizing your sensors resolution.
The internal mask produces an anamorphic effect on flares closer to a 2x anamorphic without affecting the 1.33x optical anamorphic effect.
Geared focus and iris rings allow use follow focus units or lens motors to pull your focus or iris.
SLR Magic 50mm 1.33x Anamorphot-CINE Lens (PL Mount)

Building upon their experience with anamorphic adapters, SLR Magic produced this 50mm 1.33x Anamorphot-CINE Lens that delivers a complete, one piece, anamorphic lens with a maximum aperture of T2.8. The lens provides a 2.35:1 aspect ratio to your image when used with your 16:9 sensor. Suitable for use with cameras with a Full Frame sensor, the anamorphic lens allows you record an image with a wider aspect ratio than your sensor's native aspect ratio without cropping your image, which maximizes the resolution of your image.

SLR Magic Anamorphot Cine Reviews

Fantastic! but not free of quirks that come with the price.

These lenses are gorgeous, they have a ton of character which you would expect from vintage anamorphic lenses. Quality is solid they are metal encased and the focus & iris rings run smooth. Have used these on two feature film and many small project, the image they produce is gorgeous! They are better than you'd expect for the price. However as affordable as they are... They are not free of quirks. Firstly the barrel distortion is very noticeable, specially on the 35mm, now this works for shot shots as just blurred background, but will distort any straight line such as columns, walls, doorways in a way that becomes noticeable. This can be fixed by cropping slightly in post or by choosing your frames carefully or shooting on the 50mm where the distortion is less noticeable. The lenses flare beautifully, specially coated to appear as 2x anamorphic, however you need to be careful with light leak flares that will kill your contrast and cast a washed out image that is hard to fix in post. Chromatic aberration on these is nice and has a lot of character. The lenses can be used wide open but not in high contrast situations, if hard light is hitting the lens directly wide open it will not be fully sharp. Stopping down one stop on the 35 and 50 fixes this issue immediately in situations where the light is hitting the lens directly. Matte box can be an issue as the lens telescopes as you focus, SLR Magic sells an adapter that allows you to place a 114mm diameter matte box at the front, however this has an open spot for the follow focus and can generate double reflections in the image if light hits it at an angle. I find it best to use screw on filters to the 82mm front thread or cameras with internal ND's and just use the matte box in situations where you need to cut off a flare. The lenses like many anamorphic have a very far close focus 3'6 so close up shots even with the 70mm are hard to do, this can be worked around with a set of 82mm diopters which allow you to do even extreme close ups. All in all they are great lenses with a few drawbacks, but nothing that you cannot work around with proper lighting and shooting techniques. They get a bad wrap due to lack of brand but these are great lenses and definitely one of the best budget options out there.

Almost perfect for the price

I’ve wanted these for a long time now. I made due with the same janky projection lens anamorphic setup that so many other people have used, but there were always serious issues that had to be dealt with. These lenses solve most of those issues and deliver a look that I would summarize as Paul Thomas Anderson on a budget. Absolutely gorgeous, with lovely oval bokeh, classic blue flares and character everywhere. The 35mm absolutely has distortion, but it also absolutely resembles the classic anamorphic look, so you love it. The 50mm and 70mm lenses are undeniably stunning, with virtually zero distortion. With the price that B&H has these for right now, it’s a perfect time to get a set and start filming some incredibly beautiful films. There’s only two things I don’t like about the lenses. First is the focus ring, which breathes out as you focus. Poor design but workable. Second is the pathetic attempt at a Pelican case that they come in. Thin plastic junk that cracks upon the first sharp impact. I replaced it with the real thing immediately. Otherwise they’re phenomenal lenses.

Could these lenses work with Arri or Aaton film cameras?
Asked by: Zane
That will depend on the camera itself, but these lenses are designed to work with a PL Mount camera with a 16x9 sensor as they have a 1.33x Anamorphic Squeeze. It is not a 2.0x Squeeze meant for cameras with a 4x3 sensor.
