I tend to try out many different things in all directions to get grip of the technique and how to use it to achieve what I want. It's a great way to have this journey running and I did dip my toes into anamorphic half a year ago. This time I got hold of another thing to achieve anamorphic images. An old Proskar Anamorphic-16 lens.
The coolest thing with this lens was actually the lens case. One of those hard cases with leather on the outside and velvet on the inside. But the lens itself is pretty cool and a solid piece.
I intend to somehow make use of it on my AF101 but anamorphic is not the easiest thing to get right if you can't or wont spend thousand of money. This is a lens that focus and you need a normal lens on the back of it to get picture in focus. So you'll have two focus rings to turn before achieving focus. No that easy right? Difficult to say the least if you want it to operate as a normal lens.
I plan to shoot something but it has lower priority than my other projects and because it's difficult and time consuming to get it right I'll let it take the time it takes. The Proskar have to have 50mm or higher focal to work so forget wide angle lenses. Cool thing but a bit to complicated to make a quick and dirty test so I'll get back to it.
