Extender Lena compression

[Dominik Bauch]

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.

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.

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?
