Solution for the impracticality problem you mentioned: Buy adapter for EVERY lens and just keep them on there, add a little piece of tape to prevent accidental level changing. Sounds expensive but it's still more affordable than a proper single dedicated anamorphic lens by far. And you get to keep the modularity

I have the MC version of that 40mm and love love love it. Bought it for my M3 and use it on my X-T10 as well. This may be a good option if it has the 40mm frame lines.

I picked up an XPro-1 for $600 a couple years back, as my first camera. It's been amazing to use. I'd like to move to an X-H2S eventually, or the X-Pro3 if one comes up. One is the modern implementation of Fuji's technology, and the other is this "analog" experience I can't get enough of.

Thanks, really thorough review - I've been considering this or the Sirui 1.25x anamorphic adapters and this has given me the best overview of the Laowa adapter in use. Particularly useful is the impracticality of changing lenses very often. This makes me think that the best use case by far for these adapters are zoom lenses, except for the weight of the rig of course. Whilst I love the look, and I think this is a very well engineered product, I'm now having second thoughts due to the practicality of changing lenses on a shoot... appreciate the insights.

I have the old small Rollei35, but with this you only can guess the distance in focussing. So, I love my Nikon SLR-stuff like F5, but my back tells me, when I took to much gear. The adorable M6 is too expensive-its not just the body, the optics are expensive too. But I will search for this Rollei-looks like fun! You used the cinestill Films-i love them.

Fair enough on a physical feature I did miss.
