I recently picked up the Yashica Scope 1.5x, originally designed for the Yashica 8T, and have been trying to adapt it to my Blackmagic Pocket 4K. The setup I've been attempting is using the Nikkor 50mm f1.8 as the taking lens mounted to my BMPCC4K and holding the anamorphic attachment to the front. Sadly, no luck its extremely out of focus. I've now tried using diopters, but still no luck. Any recommendations, advice, or a push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hey All, here's a quick character intro for a project that I'm aiming to direct this year. Shot on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K with SLR Magic 1.33x Anamorphic Lens Adapter. Base color grade via a BMPCC 4K to Arri Rec709 conversion LUT that I created and have been testing. Might release if there's interest. Blackmagic LUTs byBoz™ are available to download here: https://blackmagic-luts.yolasite.com/ There's a specific "imperfect" anamorphic look that I'm going for. Haven't quite found it yet, but overall I think the combo works really well. Thoughts?

I am considering buying an Arri Alexa for my film company. Most of our project is filmed in 16:9 with normal spherical lenses, but I want to have a camera that can handle anamorphic lenses too. So i am wondering if the Arri Alexa plus 4:3 is cropping in when you have it on 16:9 mode and shoot with spherical lenses, and i should therefore go with the Arri Alexa classic ev with the 16:9 sensor?

Question : Shooting anamorphic in super16 mm film, Is there a way to exploit the black space between two frames the same way it is done with the in 35 mm with 2 perf for 2:39 and gain time on you 400ft roll I am shooting with hawk vlite16 1.3 anamorphic , probably sr1 but i am wondering if there is a camera model that can allow to expoit more surface on the negative (and so, having more time per roll than the usual 10 min/400ft) by having the frames close to each other. I'm thinking why wouldn't that be possible, 16 mm anamorphic withmore than 10 min per 400 ft mag ? (the small size of the 16mm film ? the small size of the mechanic that pull the movie down ? so 1 perf is all there is for super 16 ? does anyone have a movie in mind that was shot anamoprhic 16mm film ?) I know high frame rate cameras exists, with precise mechanics that allows to have that maybe ... i am looking for a professional regular model though ... Cheers, J

For sale is a Lomo Foton Anamophic Squarefront Zoom focal length of 37-140mm in PL mount that was serviced a year and a half ago by Olex Camera and has seen little use since. Also included is a Lomo 0.8M diopter. Located in the US. Glass is clean and clear with only minor blemishes, nothing out of the ordinary or unusual for a lens of this age, overall it is in very good condition. Thanks. https://imgur.com/a/osr8xq1 $6000 OBO

I'm having trouble de-squeezing my 2x anamorphic footage. I just got an ultra star isco 75mm and I use PP CS6 creative cloud version, there are anamorphic options but they don't seem to be making the footage wide enough. Would somebody point me in the right direction?
