Hi all,
Whew...has been quite awhile since I last posted anything...I gotta get back with it.
Anyway, I was toying with the idea of buying one of the SLR Magic's Anamorphot Anamorphic lens adapters, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with these yet.
Here's some links:

Now..one of the things I'm trying to figure..is will this work with ANY of my current EF lenses. It says the taking lens can be no more than 50mm in diameter...lens diameter, not filter diameter. I'm having problems finding out what lens diameter my lenses are.
That being said, I saw that the Anamorphot has stepper rings of 49mm, 52mm, and 58mm...and the adapter itself is 62mm.
So, looking at my lenses, it seems my L stuff is too large? I think the 70-200 f/2.8 is 77mm on the filter size, as is the 17-40L and the 24-105L. So, I guess my best glass won't work with this thing, eh?
I do have the 85mm 1.8 at it appears to be filter ring of 58mm, and the 40mm pancake is about 52mm filter size, so guessing since those match the stepper ring sizes these would work.
But can someone confirm this...I need to make sure the lens diameter is 50mm or less.
Anyway, like I said, it appears my good glass might not be compatible. That being said...what canon glass WOULD work with this thing? What with quality would work? Is there a quality zoom that would work with it?
Anyway, I would really love to play with anamorphic for my video work and my initial research on what's out there for this is prohibitively expensive and this lens setup, with the diopters looked like a reasonable way to get into this format.
So, anyone have experience with this? Recommendations for lenses, etc?
Thanks in advance!!
