Anamorphic alignment

There was a thread about aligning the coverter but I can seem to find it. Can anyone tell me how do I make sure the converter is sitting properly on the lens, and how do I know is properly aligned with the chip? thanks
 
Re: Anamorphic alignment

Take a look at the adapter's lens cap -- you'll see that it's translucent white plastic, with a rectangle grooved onto it.

Put the lens cap on, zoom out to full wide-angle, and point the camera at a bright light. Focus as close as you can, and you'll see the rectangle on the lens cap shows up as a nice black rectangle in your viewfinder. Square up that rectangle, tighten the anamorphic adapter's screw, and you're ready to go!
 
Re: Anamorphic alignment

Thanks Barry. I did what you said, it seems like is the only way to do it. One would think that there should be a more precise adjustment...and the lack of instructions in the manual does not help either...anyway, thanks again.
 
Re: Anamorphic alignment

question, anybody - is the rectangle appears to be equally in the middle?
i once shot with the anamorphic and the rectangle was shifted a bit to the right (i think). it was straight, but not exactly in the middle.
how is it in your cameras?

thanks
 
Re: Anamorphic alignment

that explains a slight soft focus on the left side of the frame in some focal lengths... s**t
 
Re: Anamorphic alignment

lol.. i hate that stupid Ana adapter.. too bad it took such great images or I really would slag it.
 
Re: Anamorphic alignment

Wish I had known about this before the last 3 months.

Thank you for this info.

Re: Anamorphic alignment

it was actually a common question asked at DVexpo.. and the lens cap is exactly what Steve did to show how to align it.
 
Anamorphic Screw Messed Up

Anamorphic Screw Messed Up

I just got the Ana adapter.
The screw never caught the body and seems already stripped!
The adapter is very loose, and now I can't even get it off.
The original lens protector connects so easy!

1) Has this happened to anyone here before
2) How do I get this off now???

Thanks,

Re: Anamorphic alignment

tons of people have had this problem.. you need to tighten the screw then take it off.. kinda ass backwards but thats how i works.
