Want to film using the ever-popular 2.35:1 scope format? Using the SLR Magic Anamorphot-40 1.33x Anamorphic Adapter, you can easily incorporate this cinematic aspect ratio into your arsenal. Most cameras shoot video using the 16:9 HD aspect ratio, and this adapter adds a 1.33x squeeze factor to that. Once you stretch it out in post, voilà! You have video similar to the epic 2.35:1 ratio without sacrificing any vertical resolution.
This adapter simply secures to the “taking” lens with a 52mm filter thread; you can then use the focusing ring on the adapter to rack focus. This single-focus feature was once the coveted domain of expensive vintage adapters, but SLR Magic has incorporated it into the modern lightweight design of the Anamorphot-40.
For a complete anamorphic solution, SLR Magic also offers its Cine line of lenses, of which the 35mm f/1.2 and 50mm f/1.1 are recommended for use with this adapter. Both lenses have the requisite filter thread sizes and front elements smaller than 40mm in diameter (hence the name Anamorphot-40).
The Anamorphot-40 1.33x Anamorphic Adapter is available to order now. For more information on stock and shipping times, check out the B&H online store.
