    10 ай бұрын

    mmwuh? How do you mean convert, and what kind if lenses do you mean? I mean, if you have an actual anamorphic lens there should be some lens adaptor or such to get it stuck to the front of the camera in a way that's aligned more or less enough whip the photons where they need to go... You'll have to desqueeze the image probably but there are tools for that. So, point being if you have a something anamorphic that attaches to something and does the thing you want, but you want it to attach to something else, it shouldn't be that hard 🙂 Worst case you can sub a proper adapter for an improper one that eyeball measure puts at "about right", a dremel with some bits, electrical tape and a case of beer, put them in a big shaker, drink the beer, shake it shake it - when you wake up you'll have an engineering marvel the likes of which mankind has yet to see. Alternatively, give me the scoop on the lens(es) you mean and I'll give it a shake and let you know 🙂

I know it's probably a massive undertaking making a video to explain your design process, but even a less in-depth video where you touch on some of the high level concepts that went into the design would be invaluable. For example - a video about how you calculated the gear ratio (I'm not even sure if that's the correct term) to normalize the focus movements between the two lenses would be hugely helpful for anyone thinking of attempting a similar design.

I was really just doing this for fun and trying to spend as little money as possible.

Pro: - Cost - Not adding yet more glass which affects immage quality and flaring Cons: - The focus is stiffer than I'd like - Stretch shifts from infinity to close focus (about 2x - 1.8x, can be fixed in post) - The gears make some noise which might be a problem for quiet scenes

I'm going to see which ones are sold in both the USA and EU and get back to you on that. EDIT: I did a quick look and the one I saw that was in both was the K&F Concept adapter.

    It should work with the Sankor, but you'll probably have to make some adjustments: you'd have to adjust the gear ring which attaches to the focus ring of the sankor, you'd have to change the clamp to fit it and you'd probably have to change the gear box. Basically you measure the angle of the focus throw of the anamorphic adapter from infinity to 1.5 meters, divide it by the focus throw of the helios and you have your target gear ratio. If you reply with those measurements, I'll adjust the model on thingyverse.

    How it change a focal length after anamorphic de squeeze? Does It work in full frame mode or only in APS-C, Super 35mm, 16mm or Super 16mm mode?

  • @outsideworlds

    @outsideworlds

    3 жыл бұрын

    The tests at the end were all done with a full frame camera. There's a slight vignette, but I like it. Calculating the focal length is complicated. The taking lens is 58mm and there seems to be some vertical squeeze as well as horizontal, so vertically it's something like 50-55mm equivalent and horizontally, if you're cropping to 2.4:1, then it's 58 * (2.4 / ((16/9)*2)) = 39mm. Yay, math is fun :-)

    E-mount has a flange focal distance of 18mm and m42 is 45.46mm, so I guess the adapter's about 32mm long? m42 to canon EF adapter's exist, but they're very thin, so you'd have to change my design to make it work. I have everything mounted to the adapter, but it would also be possible to clamp on to the lens itself.
