SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x-50 Anamorphic Adapter - Shooting anamorphic on 16:9 sensors

Here’s a quick overview on how you can be shooting anamorphic video with the help of the SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x-50 adapter.

It’s commonplace to see filmmakers digitally cropping their 16:9 footage to create that cinematic widescreen look. One of the drawbacks of doing this is that those cropped sections of the image captured in camera, have now been wasted.

So why not shoot anamorphic? It can seem like a daunting task to those filmmakers who have never touched the format before. Since traditionally anamorphic lenses can be relatively expensive, especially if you’re a filmmaker who wants to start working with the format, but doesn’t want to invest in a brand new set of glass.

Cue the SLR Magic Anamorphot adapter, adapter being the key word. It simply attaches to the front of your aspherical lens, and increases the field of view by 33% (when using the Anamorphat 1.33x, more so with the 2x version), and records this increased FOV compressed to 16:9.

Once you’re in the edit, you simply tell your NLE to interpret this footage as anamorphic, and bingo, you get that widescreen look, without compromising your image resolution.
