    SLR Magic is proud to announce the SLR Magic ANAMORPHOT-CINE 1.33x PL lens set for filmmakers which could be adapted to EF/F/mFT/E-mount via adapter.

    As a commitment to the film industry, SLR Magic developed the SLR Magic ANAMORPHOT-CINE lenses to deliver the classic contrast, distortion, chromatic, color aberration, and flare characteristics of vintage anamorphic lenses, but with the convenience of a matched lens set without the hassle of aligning and matching lenses to the already popular SLR Magic Rangefinder with Anamorphot adapter combination.

    To achieve the much loved scope aspect ratio, which gives a very pleasant, epic effect, filmmakers must crop off the top and bottom of standard 16:9 footage when using spherical lenses with modern digital cameras. As a result, 25% or more sensor/negative information is discarded.

    This 1.33x anamorphic lens help filmmakers to maximize their image quality by preventing this loss of vertical resolution. The unique 1.33x squeeze factor uses the entire 16:9 sensor/negative area to achieve the desired 2.35:1 aspect ratio. The SLR Magic ANAMORPHOT-CINE 1.33x does this by compressing a 33% wider field of view to fit the width of the 16:9 sensor/negative without compressing image height.

    The SLR Magic ANAMORPHOT-CINE 1.33x create a unique “artifact” such as horizontal lens flare, commonly referred to as anamorphic streaks, and may create slightly elongated bokeh. Over the history of cinema, these same stylish effects have contributed to the cinematic “look” of epic motion picture photography. Characteristics that shape this anamorphic “look” come from “front-mounted” anamorphic designs such as the SLR Magic Anamorphot while “rear-mounted” anamorphic designs have more suppressed anamorphic characteristics.

    Had the opportunity to play with one of SLR Magic’s new Anamorphic lenses for a few hours last Saturday. Usually 1.33x lenses are recorded to a 16:9 aspect ratio to get the Cinemascope look after de-squeezing. This time Andrew Chan of SLR Magic suggested we try recording to the 4:3 ratio normally reserved for 2x lenses.

    The result is a 16:9 image (when de-squeezed) but with an anamorphic look.

    Panasonic GH4 set to 4/3 mode with an SLR Magic 35mm T2.4 Anamorphic lens, captured in 4K UHD with V-Log L profile in 10-bit, 4:2:2 to an Atomos Ninja Assassin. Also used, Movcam wireless follow focus and Westcott Flex LED lights.

    @stoneinapond, quick question. When the atomos ninja assassin de-squeeze the anamorphic footage does it capture it already de-squeezed or do you still have to de-squeeze it in post?

    The Atomos doesn't de-squeeze in recording, only the monitoring. Image still has to be adjusted in post.

    SLR Magic is proud to announce the SLR Magic ANAMORPHOT-CINE 1.33x PL lens set for filmmakers which could be adapted to EF/F/mFT/E-mount via adapter. The production version has changed significantly in both optical and mechanical specification compared to the lenses shown at IBC 2015. For absolute precision, the lenses could now be calibrated by a lens technician from abroad rather than having both the camera and lenses to be calibrated in Hong Kong.

    Please enjoy our short film, "FEEL", taken by our volunteers with the new 1.33x SLR Magic Anamorphot-CINE lenses power driven by the Movcam Wireless Focus System on the Panasonic GH4 and Sony A7s recorded with the Atomos Ninja Assasin 4K recorder/monitor.

    The lenses are immediately available for order in Hong Kong

    There is a lot of barrel distortion visible at the edges of the frame.

    Does anyone know if these were shot with the GH4's anamorphic setting? I'd love to see how these compare with 2x anamorphic lenses.
