SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x 50 Anamorphic Adapter

The SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x 50 is a anamorphic lens adapter designed for cinematography. Increases image resolution and detail by squashing / compressing the image horizontally by a factor of 1.33x to allow maximum utilisation of the cameras' sensor. Anamorphic lenses therefore require subsequent stretching, in post-production or at projection. Intended for use with shooting at 16:9, bringing the intended output to a standard 2.39:1 wide format with a higher resolution than simply letter-boxing the image in camera. The lens features an adjustable dioptre for "sweet spot" adjustment controls on focus.

This SLR Magic anamorphic adapter also offers unique effects such as horizontal flare and streaks from light sources and ellipsoidal bokeh, for cinematographers wanting a characteristic filmic look. Depth of field is also affected, as in practice when using an anamorphic lens a longer focal length is required in order to achieve the same angle of view. Therefore anamorphic lenses produce a shallower, more cinematic depth of field than a the same lens without the adapter.

The adapter has a 77mm front filter thread and a native 62mm rear thread with a 58mm, 52mm, 49mm adapter rings provided. As such it is only suitable for lenses which have a front element size of 50mm or less.

Limitations of close focusing is helped with the use of dioptres which further enhances image. resolution and sharpness on close / medium distance applications.

Using costly or vintage lenses for anamorphic shooting has not always been reliable, or achieves the best results. By combining anamorphic fundamentals, current technology and precision optics, SLR Magic provide a reliable solution for anamorphic shooters without compromising quality. Trying to achieve a true anamorphic “look” in post cannot be emulated or faked. By cropping a standard 16:9 aspect ratio using a spherical lens, it discards 25% resolution of the overall image. Using the SLR Magic 1,33x-65 will preserve all pixels from the sensor and give you 33% more optical resolution and field of view from the camera. Additionally, the close focus distance for the 1.33x-65 is 4 feet.

Reviews for "The Fire-Breathing Wand: A Mythical Tool with Real-Life Firepower"

1. Jane - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the magic wand that shoots fire. First of all, the product description claimed that it was easy to control and handle, but I found it extremely difficult to use. The fire shooting feature was also not as impressive as I expected, with weak flames that barely reached a few inches. Moreover, the wand itself felt cheaply made and broke after just a few uses. Overall, this product did not live up to its claims and I would not recommend it.

2. Mark - 1/5 - The magic wand that shoots fire was a complete waste of money. Not only did it fail to shoot fire as advertised, but it also had safety issues. The wand became too hot to handle after just a few seconds of use, putting me at risk of burning myself or causing a fire. Additionally, the instructions provided were vague and did not offer any troubleshooting solutions. It was a total letdown and I regret buying it.

3. Sarah - 2/5 - I purchased the magic wand that shoots fire for my son, thinking it would be a fun and exciting toy for him. However, it turned out to be quite underwhelming.

My son lost interest in it after just a few minutes of playing. I would not recommend this product for anyone looking for an exciting and engaging toy.
