Why does my face look wide you might say? Its a couple things... First, I'm using an 85mm lens here. Usually I use a 18mm or 35mm prime. So lens compression is doing it's thing. Secondly, the anamorphic adapter I used (Sankor 16 essentially) has high distortion. Things in the middle are wider than the edges when close to camera (in my case, about 5 feet). Just take a look at the computer in the background. Looks thinner than usual. So if you're going to use this lens, you might want to reduce the stretch to correct objects close to camera. Just keep in mind your edges (like the computer in the background of my set) will get very thin.

Caleb, there is good and bad stuff (you generally have great quality). The bad thing is, which you would now if you were part of the group, is that the anamorphic store is a complete rip-off. Also people don't trust vid-atlantic, they have cost some people there scopes by breaking. Best way to as for now is rapido in terms of price/value. Slr magic is simple, but lacks in quality. Better to get the rapido.

The squeeze ratio changes when doing the so called "double focusing". I can imagine that you didn't use your variable diopter. And even if you did: some scopes have not exactly 2x squeeze ratios. Also a lot of smaller anamorphic projection lenses tend to compress more at the sides. Another fact why the computer is looking thinner is not only the the slight overcompression caused by your scope but also the fact that vertical "oval" bokeh makes everything out of focus seem more thin. That's also one of many many reasons why it's preferred by professional DoP's if you look at it from a artistic view. You really rushed this video for no reason since there are some misinformations and also a bad promotion to a person who is selling really bad products for ridiculously high prices on Ebay. Instead of promoting him you could have promote Rectilux from the UK. Also as I mentioned somewhere else: You should have joined the FaceBook-Group "Anamorphic Shooters" and dig through the posts there and eventually come in contact with some really talented and informative people who would have loved to help you out with gear and product recommendations. Next time don't let anyone push you to do anything. Do your research properly and bring stuff out when you are ready for it. You are doing such a great job otherwise but this is a step into the wrong direction by trying to put out content as fast as possible (not saying that you didn't invest time into this one, it just wasn't enough specifically regarding this topic).

Definitely stretched too far wide :(

Thanks Tyler! Definitely a pain to get right. Heck, I misaligned most of my shots in this video anyway ha!

I’ve bought every anamorphic my man Tito recommended. Love that guy, so I was glad to see another KZreadr I love doing anamorphic videos. Great stuff!

I've been researching anamorphic for the past couple days and my favorite channel uploads a video on it! Thanks Caleb this is exactly what I needed!

Great video CP! Been trying to look at affordable anamorphic options for a while and your video just cleared up everything I was looking to research, so thank you for the in-depth review!

Caleb, you're the one of the best KZread teacher for Video. So clear explanations, with clean and "licked" images and light setup. Once again thanks and congrats for your tutos.

YEEEEEEEEES! It is finally here! The moment we've all been waiting for. Time for some wide boi action. Caleb bringing dreams to reality!

I have been waiting so long for this video. So happy to see it!!

Really, really awesome review, thank you! It's been a near-to-perfect overview of all the different choices for shooting anamorphic, really helped me out!

This is by far the most detailed explanation on basics of low budget anamorphic. Great job bro. Would love to see a series explaining this more detailed on how to properly achieve quality true anamorphic in a low budget. Can't wait for more!

Amazing! The best intro video to Anamorphic work by far. You have a true gift of teaching things.

Just a point: you can shoot 2x anamorphic just fine on 16:9 sensors. You simply use the 4:3 area at the center of those sensors by cropping or zooming. In turn you loose a bit of resolution. Many cameras, like the BM Ursa Mini are like that.

This was super cool to see. I feel like most youtubers are always focused on consumer level gear so this was truly different and I learned a lot. Love seeing into a bit of the cinema world.

One of my favorite videos of yours. Best intro to anamorphic lenses, on the interweb. Would definitely love to see more on this. Great job! :)

Of course we want more Caleb! Super interesting topic!

Great rundown on the various options, Thanks for all your effort.

Caleb! This video is killer! I dove down the anamorphic rabbit hole about 3-6 months ago and basically came to the conclusion that it was just too complex for the little bits of pay-off I got. This video would be super handy to someone like me a few months ago who is just trying to get the hang of why someone cares about anamorphic and how a basic set up might look. You've got me tempted by those SLR Magic adaptors haha. Thanks again for all the time and effort you put into this channel!

A full guide will be great! Thanks Caleb

kudos ! no speech hesitation, good flow. Nice to hear !

I have been searching for a long time for more information about this topic. Great Video, i would like to start with anamorphic in the future.

I bought the Moment anamorphic lens and since then I've been obsessed with the anamorphic look. Particularly the aspect ratio and distortion. Thank you for making this video. Not a whole lot out there on anamorphic for your SLR.

Love this video! Great work!

The calm voice make the difference. Thanks for the job.

I've been following you for years now, I love how you condensed so much information well and into one single video to get people up and running. One thing that I think you missed, and I could be wrong, is that if you've learned a lot from Tito's videos then it would have been appropriate to give his channel a shout-out. The man has put so much energy into what he does and with your pull, it would have been placed well. Maybe I'm wrong but if not, maybe show some support for everything he's helped with. Love your channel regardless and I'm always sharing it with younger videographers just getting into the game.

"Going to watch the first couple minutes of this video to see if it is what I'm looking for." -21 min later... good job man. Very informative about all the different adapters I've been looking at.

Great video. Real good and clear information

Very intelligible, concise and to the point. Thank you so much!

Great man it was so complete, Thanks for sharing.

Great content and nice review! Thanks a lot!

WOW! 21:9 ive been waiting for this for so long! It fits my monitor! So happy

Once I got past the flares and the distortion of your face, it's the tonality that this old lens brings that I really liked, even more than the bokeh/blur and the flares. I've heard cinematographers say that different lenses today are like what using different film stock was like, and I really like the character of the tonality that this lens brings to the image.

A great guide would be great :) I am many anamorphic lenses to test, but it's so hard to use i don't find the time

It just looks SO TASTY! I'd love to shoot some promos with that sort of aesthetic.

Would definitely like to see more (guide or series). Loved the vid!

Love anamorphic. I would love to see a series and or a guide.

Thanks! it helped me a lot!!

What a great video. I had no idea what anamorphic was when I saw it in camera settings. I love your video quality too. I saw your video on the BMPCC4K too. I'm probably going to get it after the Blackmagic Raw. Its pretty beastly

This doesn't look quite right... Edit: looking forward to the follow-up vid where you address your settings and properly desqueeze. You probably overlooked something tiny.. 😅

please continue, thanks so much

I reached your same conclusions about the slr magic, thanks for demystifying the projection lenses, nobody else has really done that.

really helpful !!! hope to learn more about it !!!

Would love to see some videos on wireless monitoring like the guy has towards the end of the video. Great video!

Thanks, this was a great intro. Now I'm interested in seeing what's possible with these oddities lol.

Great Great Great! Thanks for this amazing Video.

Off topic but wanted to ask you about the GH5s auto focus , Peter Greg did a vid on it and it seemed work really well. I have a GH5 and love it , I use manual focus only, but need a camera for a gimbal , would love to use the GH5s if the auto focus was pretty reliable like in Peter Gregs vid, or should I just get a a7lll ? Thanks very much for your vids and your time.

This is so great. PLEASE do a video where you build out one of the Kowa or Isco setups with single focus. Or make a guide. I'd buy it!!!!

Would love to see more of anamorphic lens videos ;) I still want to buy one but can't decide which one is the best option for me.

Great video, lots of infos :D

At 5:19 --> Nikon E-Series 50mm f 1.8 pancake lens. I love that lens.

wow this fills my wide screen

YES MORE ANAMORPHIC VIDEOS PLEASE, I shoot on an a6500 and would love to have a cinema set up like this! But sadly because all this is pretty expensive it may be a while until I can do this lol

More on this would definitely be welcome, especially with the GH5 which is still holding its own in 2019.

3:54 "Gerald undone... I really can't do this I'm almost 30 with two kids and changing how I say thing is out of the question Godspeed and goodnight"

Amazing video! But I think you have oversqueezed your footage, making your head wider than it should be. A lot of these adapters will advertise a squeeze ratio (like 2x) but that will only be at infinity focus and for closer focus it might only be something like 1.8x or even 1.7x. So for anyone reading this, don’t just blindly follow numbers, use your eyes, look at your footage and evaluate it :) If it looks right, it is right, no matter what the numbers say :)
