Dominik Bauch Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Will a 2X extender also increase the lens compression when used with an anamorphic prime lens? So will a 50mm prime with a 2X extender have similar lens compression to a 75mm prime for example? Im guessing that there is some gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted December 4, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted December 4, 2018 A 2x extender will just turn the 50mm lens into a 100mm. What do you mean by compression? If you're talking about the anamorphic squeeze, a 2x anamorphic 50mm has the same compression as a 2x 75mm anamorphic. And a doubler won't change that.

Dominik Bauch Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 By lens compression, I mean how close the background appears. So I'm wondering if an extender makes the background appear closer; so a 100mm with extender will not only be a tighter framing but will it also have lens compression similar to that of a 200mm lens or will the lens compression be the same?
