John Carty Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 By now I am sure most people have heard about the new Sirui Anamorphic lens 1.33. My question is if I had the correct adapter ( assuming their is one) would this work on the Bolex, I also have a K3 with the modified 16x9 gate maybe a better option with the 1.33 squeeze ...also would the scope lens work on this. Any help on this would be much appreciated. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Mosness Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I haven't seen a MFT to C-mount adapter. Since C-mount has a flange distance of 17.25mm and MFT has a 19.25mm, it may just be physically impossible. The other issue is the Sirui lens is a 50mm. Kind of a long lens on 16mm. Even with a 1.33 squeeze, your FOV is like a 37mm. The other option could be putting an anamorphic in front of a C-mount lens, like a Century/Optex 1.33X adapter.

Jon O'Brien Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Sirui has released a 1.6 x squeeze anamorphic lens that would be great if it could be used on a C mount vintage 16mm camera. Imagine that. But every single mount it comes in, L, X, Z, RF, and DL is unusable on a C mount with an adapter. If they could design a similar lens for Nikon F mount that would be truly amazing as such a lens could then be used on old standard 16mm cameras with a low-cost and easily obtainable Nikon F to C adapter. https://store.sirui.com/en-au/products/sirui-saturn-35mm-full-frame-carbon-fiber-anamorphic-lens?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=jojo-kol-vuhlandes&utm_campaign=saturn35&ppl_length=1&ppl_time=1697937506542 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon O'Brien Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Or even better, both a PL and a C mount version. That would greatly expand the usefulness of such lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
