IB/E Optics PL 2X extender experiences?

Recommended Posts

Trying to find a good PL to PL 2X extender that works with Arri Master Anamorphics.

How is the IB/E Optics 2X extender? It's supposed to work with Master Primes, so I assume that it would work with Master Anamorphics?

Any experiences with this extender? Is image and build quality good and secure?

Call up some rental houses and see if they have that extender, you could test it yourself. It should work on any Master Anamorphic, since even the wides don't protrude out the back very much.

 

My experience with them on other lenses was that they work a bit better with the fitted lens stopped down a little from the T1.9 maximum listed in the extender specs, but that may also have been because the lens itself improved. Like any extender, they magnify any defects in the lens, but that's probably less of an issue with Master Anamorphics. The build quality seems fine.

 

But again, you should test them yourself if you're serious about dropping several grand on one.
