XAH1 with anamorphic adapter for cinemascope aspect ratio

[agwah]

Just put up a video of a test with a panasonic adapter LA 7200



you can check out a video clip here

it is easy to work with it in fcp as all you need to do in the sequence settings is to click on the widescreen aspect ratio button and it brings it out to the right look when editing. You just have to calculate a little when exporting to whatever format you want. These are done for the web so it becomes 720x300 on this one.

Interesting... Howd you attach it? Got a pic?

[agwah]

72 mm diameter, it simply screws on,

longest telephoto has given me distortion, but normal to wide is fine

Are you able to use the aspect guides (2.35:1) from the menu? Do they match up?

[agwah]

don't use any guides,

the image in the viewfinder is squeezed and cover the whole 16x9 area,

it doesn't look right until I have clicked on the sequence settings widescreen aspect ratio button in fcp or exported it to the correct pixel dimensions.

This is very very cool. I'd love to get my hands on one of these and play around with it.

$750 is a bit steep though.

I just adore the anamorphic look. I prefer the 2x squeeze look. But this 1.33x squeeze still has some of those 2x anamorphic qualities.

I prefer to shoot with 2,35:1 guidelines.

Anamorphic is so much hazzle to shoot with.

Awesome I love the look!

Interesting. Nice stills too. I love the last one of the dude with the white beard. I have to ask the question, can you get anamorphic lens flares with this? You know, the long blue horizontal streaks that are seen in big budget films.
