16:9 adapter lens on the HPX?

[scorsesefan]

Just wondering since the HPX has a 72mm thread, could the AG-LA7200 fit, and if so would it give you a 2:35?

It's much easier to just make a matte to go over your lcd and crop in post.

but check this thread out

Barry says that a standard def lens will be an issue. Pleading ignorance here. What are the differences between a SD and HD lens?

 

[Spec-Comm]

Barry will be able to do a much better job in explaining this but it has to do with the quality of the glass. SD glass introduces Chroma Aberration in the pictures due to light scatter in the glass. Especially around the edges. HD glass is prepared differently so that the CA is reduced. That is just one of the differences I'm sure.

I hope this helps.

Someone did this and posted results in the XHA1 forum. I don't know what lens they used, but it looked pretty cool.

Yeah, I thought it might have something to do with aberration... But I will check out the post, Yommytacoe... Thanks

i think the correct ratio is 2:40.1?
