The video group at B&H Photo is happy to announce SLR Magic's new Anamorphot adapter, the Anamorphot 1.33x-65. This adapter features a 1.33x anamorphic squeeze and can be used on lenses with a front element size of up to 65mm, greatly expanding the number of lenses you can mount with this adapter, compared to earlier SLR Anamorphot adapters. SLR Magic has been developing and improving its Anamorphot adapters for the past few years, expanding their functionality and refining their ease of use. Other improvements for this adapter include an internal focus design that simplifies using a rod-mounted matte box, because the Anamorphot's length doesn't change when focusing.
The adapter features a rear 82mm thread, and it mounts seamlessly on the SLR Magic Micro Primes. Working in collaboration with Fujifilm, SLR Magic has optimized the adapter to work with the Fujinon MK series of zooms, and when used with the Fujinon MK 50-135mm zoom, it appears to be a single lens once it's mounted. The Anamorphot 1.33-65 will fit any matte box with a 114mm rear opening, and because the front doesn't rotate while focusing, it can also be used with clip-on matte boxes. The front of the adapter is threaded to accept 112mm filters and diopters, and it has a nominal close-focus distance of 4'.
If you are thinking of shooting anamorphic images, the SLR Magic Anamorphot may just be the adapter you've been hoping to find. Would you find this adapter useful? Tell us why, in the Comments section.
