This lens works best at 50mm and up on m43 cameras with a 2X crop factor. On full frame cameras like 5D Mark II, 5D Mark III, use 85mm lenses or longer. Magic Lantern Raw is recommended, as shooting with taller aspect ratios will allow you to use wider taking lenses. For Black Magic cameras, use 35mm lenses and longer.

HOW To attach

You must use an anamorphic lens clamp. This kit includes a 72mm or 77mm seamless fit anamorphic clamp. The seamless fit prevents light leaks and does not use screws that damage your lens.
