General DIY anamorphic adapter

im really confused at this point. I went to the websites linked from Vimeo and it seems like you just have DOF adapters. Any details or shots of the adapter itself?
 
Very interesting project. From the title, I thought it would be the old-school trick of a filter with horizontal streaks and oval front for shaping bokeh. This curved add-on lens looks much better... if it can retain the sharpness of the lens you use it with.
 
Thanks. As you can see in the uploaded 1080p video, the image looks good. The day shoots are better, because I used better ground lenses. I found the way to get the correct shape in lenses when doing grind, so when I try the different coatings I expect better quality at night also.

Recently I did a research about Picture Styles, and I read some pages in your site. I did not try the PS yet but I am planing to do in a near future.
 
And while you're at it, please don't spamm the members of dvxuser.com's inboxes. I have received 3 of the exact same message from you. Please have a little more tact.
 
Ok PaPa, I agree.

I am in a moment I have a good product but no money to replicate it for selling. But I think it will be better to finish the coating tests before to get worried due to this. So I stoped sending messages and will focus in the coating tests. Time will bring an answer for the selling moment.

Thanks
 
no PMs, just post here:

To be honest, I did not want to do this, I would like to keep it myself, I feel some sadness, but I need to do, I need to raise funds to go further:

Apefoscope First Assembled Unit is for auction on ebay (private listing):

I am working in the lens coating tests.
The Indiegogo campaign raised 228 usd until now. It needs 272 usd to reach the 500 usd goal. Please, consider a 10 usd small donation to help the project, if each people on vimeo interested on the adapter do this small donation the goal will be successful. It is just 6 days to the deadline.

Thank you!
 
you should visit old anamorphic threads here and get people informed, there was market for anamorphics and probably still is but many people bought ones and didnt filmed anything with them anyways so you know how it is, everyone and their grandpa wanted anamorphic.I had one too but i sold it, its not comfortable to operate and it was 2x.
 
Great work, Apefos, producing a modern and affordable anamorphic attachment. Have followed your progress on Private View and would probably like to buy one next year when the testing is finished. I would like to understand better what are the differences between the various colour coatings, or even if an uncoated version would be better. How much overall light loss from the attachment, etc. Look forward to reading your final user notes. Thank you.

Merry Christmas to all.
 
The Apefoscope project is finished.

All the review videos are done and uploaded to this album on vimeo:

If you have questions about the adapter, please send a message to me on vimeo.

Thanks and Happy New Year!
 
I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A PEN

I would like to have a pen, but not any pen...

a pen to describe the peoples face inside the bus in the way to work... each expression, the sadness in the eyes due to life is not the way they would like it to be... the lines drawn in their face by the bus motor noise everyday hurting their ears made to listen birds singing...

a pen to expose my emotions when everybody tells me to hide them...

I would like to downgrade my pen sometimes for a pen-cil to have the option to rub the paper vigorously after write a mistake in my life, erase the missed opportunity and rewrite it into an orgasm of happiness

I would like to have a pen-is not to cum for porn dreaming about girls I will never have, but a pen-is to write in my girlfriend's skin how much my heart pulses for her... hoping the ink cum would last forever... just like a tattoo...

I would like to have the courage to exchange my beloved DSLR for a hacked pen in which the ink would be automatic multicolored changing taking into account the the meaning hidden between the text lines...

I would like to have a pen which could draw a movie in an electronic paper to avoid me the hard work to turn my ideas into a feature film and this way I could celebrate my sinful sloth

I would like my pen to be a sharp knife to hurt the film emulsion just as the film emulsion sometimes hurt us and make us cry inside the movie theater... and this way my sharp knife pen would write the story direct into movie images just like Norman McLaren did.

I would like to have a pen and some pieces of paper to make this writing task my lonely work to avoid the need to beg people to help me mainly when my sweaty money is not enough to pay for their willing

I would like to have a pen to tell how much Mary waits for John everyday in the bus station twisting her hopes for he to stop just looking and take the action

So my pen could tell that John can't imagine Mary looking to her mirror to perceive if her beauty is enough to make him overcome his shyness and make the move

And my pen would find the words to make people imagine that mid age woman with her shining eyes in a hopping face when she sees the young lawyer inside his black suit up the bus stairs and stand by an old washed out advertising of the Nothing Hill movie.

My pen would have the power to describe the angels taking care of us hidden against the sunlight in the sky where the DSLR poor dynamic range could never see them... and they just laugh about the joke God always do not giving each one of us our operating instructions when we was born

So my pen could write the second life many people would like to have forgiven the beloved partner instead of breaking up...

I hope my dreamy pen do not stop taking the virginity of paper and makes me more happy than my never perfect DSLR

and I also hope I do not upgrade my pen into other tools to avoid turning myself into a forum member to discuss voice recorders, computer keyboards, writing softwares and printers.

PS.: a pen-is is a pen with image stabilization. (it moves, but it is always stabilized)
