Does anyone know where I can rent an SLR Magic 1.33x anamorpht adapter? I want to experiment but refuse to shell out $1000 to do so. I can't seem to find any rental houses that carry the product.

Also have you considered other adapters or is this a rent before purchase thing?

This is more of a rent to experiment thing. Curious to see my own results and how the workflow is. All the footage ive seen with these slr magic adapters look great IMO. Inwasnt even aware there are other brands.

Send me a PM.
I tried the buy it cheap to experiment with the Century.
If other brands will work http://www.lensrentals.com/rent/vid...anamorphx-adapter-w-high-flare-single-coating
No doubt that the SLR Magic is higher quality than mine, but I'm not into it too deeply yet. Also have the SLR Magic .33x and 1.33x diopters. What I'm finding with this "cheap" Century is that I need to be around f4 to get crisp images on the only lens I have that will work. Waiting on some parts for other lenses to see if it works better with longer focal lengths. Right now tested on a 24f2.8 FD lens and generic focal reducer on my GH2, it's very wide on this lens. Waiting to try on a 35mm, 50mm, and maybe 85mm or 135mm. Kind of thinking about finding a second adapter for a B system.

Now do you record in 16x9 or 4x3 aspect ratio when using the adapter?
the 1.33x squeeze says it converts 16x9 into 2.39:9.. If thats the case, what does the adapter do to the 4:3 image?

The Letus anamorphx adapter is massive. Kind of rules that option out for me.
