I've been learning so much about the anamorphic adapter since working on this guide -- things I thought I knew, now I know a whole lot more about! It's amazing -- now I want to go re-shoot that film transfer test I did, because I *know* it could be even better!
Anyway, part of the reason I started to write the guide is because I know there are people who just pick up the adapter and try to shoot with it, and get disappointing results. So here's what you'd get if you did that -- just shot, without working around the anamorphic's restrictions:
(shot at Z99, using autofocus)
Then I implemented the techniques in the guide, and this is the result:
(also Z99, using the guide recommendations for focal point and f-stop, and also shows that you can get perfectly acceptable focus even at full telephoto if you are careful setting up the shot).
It's a little work, but I'd say the results are worth it, wouldn't you?
"With great resolution, comes great responsibility."
I'm doing some more resolution chart shots this afternoon with the DVX100A, also expanding the focus chart for the 100A's extended focus range, and then the guide will be ready to go...
(I didn't know where to post this, I figured "screen grabs" was probably the wrong forum, but they *are* screen grabs, so...)
