The second episode of the SLR Magic series goes over the bigger and heavier Anamorphot 2.0x-50, closer to a double focus system, it doesn’t perform so well at fast apertures, which let me down a bit. The Rangefinder turns it into a much better lens, so keep an eye for next week’s video!

I won’t deny the mod is much sharper than the original configuration for close focus, but the stretch factor indeed decreases. In my case, I was getting around 1.25x. Also, you can notice the diamond shaped bokeh indicating that there’s something wrong with the setup (much like what I mentioned about the SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x-50) […]
