LA7200 anamorphic + 20mm pancake

thanks trey yeah the pancake works a treat with the LA.

i was out shooting a scene the other day... camera was static and around 50 metres from the action, was a simple shot of a girl crossing the entire frame from left to right, the centre of the screen was nice and focused as it should be but the edges of the frame were getting pretty out of hand with blur, i'm sure you will have seen the blur i mean but it seemed especially bad.

i did have the camera at f1.7 tho, but apart from that man its a winner! and i agree with you on the look and feel, it smoothes off the pancake nicely.

anyways all the best and get those rails & telescope mount :smile:

thanks to all posters :smile:
 
Just thought i share some screen caps, shot with GH13, 14-45mm, Century Optics Anamorphic 1.33x. No touch ups at all, and very improvised due to the wet weather. Refer to the link in my siggy if you wanna see pics of the camera with the adapter!

Too bad I dont have a compact pancake to illustrate how small this set up really is.

raymondluo great shots/locations! perfectly balanced and composed. dynamic B&W? its a personal fav of mine :smile:
yeah the GH1 + the century anamorphic is a tiny setup even with the 14-45, pancake makes it i featherweight tank.
good stuff!

It's solely a framing issue. In terms of perspective, a 20mm lens is always a 20mm lens.

If you come from a still photography background, you may have a mental image of the field-of-view obtained with each standard focal length lens on a full-frame sensor. If so, it's helpful to know that a 20mm lens on the GH1 has about the same field-of-view as a 40mm lens on a full-frame still camera.

If you come from a film-making background, however, you're more likely to be familiar with the field-of-view obtained on 16mm or 35mm motion picture film. If so, it's helpful to know that a 20mm lens has about the same field-of-view on the GH1 as on a 35mm video camera.

Anamorphic adapters throw another factor into the mix. Due to their horizontal squeeze factor, they give the main lens a wider horizontal field-of-view, just as a wide-angle adapter would. With the LA7200's 1.33x squeeze factor, a 20mm lens has the field-of-view that a 15mm lens has by itself.

Well in terms of perspective the 20mm lens has the same spatial distortion as a 40mm (on full frame) when it's on the GHx because of the crop...it affects distortion as well because you don't need to get as close to your subjects to use the lens which is why wide angles deepen space to begin with (because of the large FOV.) No large FOV, use further back from subject, less spatial distortion.

I guess the best way to explain it is that the numbers written on the lens always are its real focal length, nobody ever talks about the equiv focal length on the lens...although some do on the camera or in the literature. You might have seen the 14-140 being called a (28-280) on Panasonic's site, and you might see point and shoots with lenses that are something like 4-40 talking about something like 24-240.
 
Have you tried a Cokin P Filter +1 Close up that can be taped on the front of the LA-7200 ?

Everything is very sharp and infocus
