How Does Anamorphic Effect the Focal Length

Prime Lens Focal Length	Anamorphic Focal Length	Superscope Focal Length
135mm	68mm	45mm
110mm	55mm	37mm
100mm	50mm	33mm
85mm	43mm	28mm
58mm	29mm	19mm
50mm	25mm	17mm
35mm	18mm	12mm

WHICH CAMERAS & LENSES WILL WORK?

2x Anamorphic lenses result in the classic, compressed anamorphic look. This means that longer lenses are highly preferred, and may even be required to avoid vignetting. However, as anamorphic lenses double your field of view, the effect is essentially a wide lens with the bokeh and depth of a long lens.

For Micro 4/3 cameras, this anamorphic lens kit works best at 58mm and longer lenses. For full frame cameras like Sony A7, Canon, etc, 100mm or longer lenses are recommended. For medium format cameras, 135mm amd longer prime lenses are an effective length. Zoom lenses and speedboosters are not preferred.

HOW To attach

You must use an anamorphic lens clamp to attach this anamorphic to your camera setup. Our custom clamp is included in this listing. The seamless fit prevents any light leaks and does not use screws that damage your lens.

How does this compare to other anamorphic lenses?

The number of lenses that can focus with only one element (single focus) are highly rare and far more expensive. Other, dual-focus lenses also have soft corners, or do not work at apertures faster than f/4 or f/5.6. This lens has been built with a helicoid focus system that allows for a very compact setup- the sharpest, lightest single focus setup available.
