You can kinda see what's going on here. Gini rig.

@stanlymanly2 - Not without a diopter.

It's funny that this topic comes back up as I am now in the progress of rebuilding my anamorphic set up, now with a Bausch and Lomb projection lens which I've cut up. I'm rehousing it on a rails and bellows system so we'll see how that fairs. Shot a improptu short on the cut up B&L on a 5D MKIII raw. It was a struggle keeping the lenses comillated and keeping light out of the two elements so hopefully spending more time affixing the lenses on a dedicated rail system will help.

@stanlymanly2 I never really looked into diopters really. I had a +1 diopter that brought the focus in to about 8 inches which was fun but a pain in the ass. 72mm was the size that fit my anamorphic but I would definitely measure. A +0.5 diopter would work great to cover what the MFD cannot.
