Century Optics and other Anamorphic options.

[PelDaddy]

Anyone have any test footage with something like the Century Optics adapter? I am wondering how it compares to the Panasonic adapter. I got one of the Panasonic ones. It is decent, but has some limitations... It is very hard to focus close. The edges are a little soft depending on the stop. You get a little color fringing toward the edges as well. The flares are nice (sometimes perhaps even too much...)

Want to explore my options, especially for closer focusing like for tight headshots (chin to eyes type stuff).

The stock is coming. New glass, not old, not even used. I'm just waiting for the Isco rep's, back from holidays in just a few days. Be patient. I will inform all.

Hi, whats the score on the new ISCO´s?

I had an Optex which is a very similar design to the Century, it wasn't quite as good as the Panasonic but pretty close.

Would one of these anamorphic adapters work well with a 35mm lens adapter, such as the SGPro, Letus, etc.?

 

[bwwd]

yes why not

 

[Katana2040]

yes why not

My thinking exactly. I don't think I've ever seen that combination before, and I have always been curious about it.

The ones marked INFLIGHT were used to project 16mm movies on planes back in the old days when flying was still glamorous!
