You would need to buy a Moviecam Compact viewfinder system with the anamorphic eyepiece, as well as a VAP adapter plate to fit it on the SL. I’ve never done it before, but I assume it works ok. I’ve seen BTS stills of SLs kitted out that way. There’s one guy from Belgium on eBay who has a complete kit for sale. I’ve considered it myself, but personally I can’t justify $5K USD plus customs tax just for a desqueezed optical image. Plus the guy was a bit rude, so I didn’t feel like doing business with him. But maybe you’ll have better luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dio zafi Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 Is there anyway around it let’s say using the video tap image to de-squeeze the image (otherwise I’m just going to have to get used to the image while filming) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your Video Assist is standard def (they all were originally), then you’ll need a monitor with a Composite Video input. Something like a TVLogic 5.6” or 7”. They don’t have a dedicated 2x de-squeeze function, so you can use the custom scaling function to approximate it. Because the monitors are 16x9 and video source is standard def 1.33:1, the image will be very small when de-squeezed. Honestly though, composing with a squeezed image isn’t so bad. You’ll get used to it eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
