I personally don't like the 2x slr magic, better off with vintage anamorphic 2x adapters like Sankor, Ishico proskar, etc and adapting them. I do like the slr magic 1.33x, Surui ones are also good.
Hello. Thanks for the video. Good informations on this adapter. However, I'm still wondering if it can be used with a zomm lens on a FF camera and if AF system will still be usable. Also, how do you manage monitoring as the camera screen will display the squeezed video?
I use SONY Zeiss sonnar 35mm f2.8 with this lens, the field can be 26mm, and I just modified Konica 40mm f1.8 with a 2x oval inset, the field is 30mm but with 2x oval bokeh, looks like Panavision C~~~ Also, could you recomend a small glass 35mm old lens that can be opened and modified? you seem to know a lot of old lenses~~~ the glass must be very small like Canon's pancake 40mm f2.8... thank you!
The zeiss 35mm f2.8 was the best lens with this adapter I have ever used back when I had the A7R2. I'd still prefer this lens over many others out there. Konica 40mm f1.8 is a beast too. I'd say the MIR 1 37mm F2.8 should be a solid choice. Has a nice swirl wide open. Otherwise I also like the Zeiss Jena 50mm f2.8 M42
I pair mine with a Lumix 20mm f/1.7. The combo is hella compact, and super easy to focus. I would be so hyped if they made the same adapter with neutral or amber flares, or maybe a 1.5x stretch factor for slightly more oval bokeh. Thanks for the good review!
They are both good lenses for sure! The quality of the 7Artisans feels better, both are sharp. Either one is a good choice. For photography I like the 22mm Pancake a little more.
A question, Zeek. So, I have the Mir 1 37mm and the Zuiko 35mm and they both are 49mm filter size. So, with a step up ring to 52mm, I am good with the Compact 40 1.33x ??
It depends what camera you use as well, full frame, apsc, micro four thirds etc. But as long as the glass element is smaller than 40mm diameter it should be fine. I've used the Sony Zeiss 35mm on Full Frame A7SII and because the glass was tiny, it had the best results i've seen.
Thx 4 doing a follow-up video on this SLR Magic adapter. Another great video. One question for you, do you ever watch videos made from your subscribers? I shot a film a few years ago before I had more filmmaking knowledge that I’d like to share with you. I know you’re very busy, if you can’t, that’s cool. It’s about 9 minutes. Thanks again for inspiring us up and coming filmmakers with your videos. Happy shooting!
Hi Zeek. I attached the link. I shot this back in 2017 with the Canon 60D with the kit lens and no ND or CPL filters or Magic Lantern :-( but I’m still very proud of it. This is my first film. I now (through you and others) have a better understanding of lighting & filmmaking. It’s also a vignette to a larger story. I’m shooting a companion vignette to it now. Please feel free to be brutal! Thx again 4 watching!

hello zeek i have some problem.. when I use my eos M + adapter lens and press the record button it won't record,, I tried the 18-55 kit lens, it can record again. then I try to remove the lens and press the record button, eos M won't record again. from there I draw the conclusion, if i mount a manual lens to eos M (with adapter) it detect have i am not using a lens and not be able to record. Iam using your 26 june 2021 ML build. do you have a solution? then how do you change the iso? mine is stuk d iso 100 thank you zeek
This is the latest settings I use: ua-cam.com/video/yZfosm3IuZI/v-deo.html Enable release without shutter in custom functions, yellow wrench in the canon menu 😎👍
Great video as usual:) ! Have you ever considered doing a Canon EOS M photography tutorial? like what kind of magic lantern settings would you use? I just got my EOS M and a Super Multi-Coated Takumar 50mm with the generic speedbooster and i’m so excited! thank you for all the amazing content and inspiration.
Can you speak to some actual distance numbers when you mention close focusing issues? I’m interested in an adapter like this as I own a Helios and 2 Canon FD lenses that all have 52mm front filter threads. I’m curious as to what the limitations you speak of actually look like for shooting. Is there a number of feet of distance you can reference before I need a diopter or to move my feet to get subjects in focus? And you mention the diameter of the glass. Not sure how that relevant, as how can you have greater than 50mm glass with a 52mm filter thread? Pretty hard, no?
Yeah, it's not for the perfectionists haha! But man is it fun to use and create a unique cinematic look with the anamorphic flare and compression artefacts.
MLV app is all CPU based, so faster CPU is better. In saying that, exporting as DNG is what I always do these days and it's super quick. 8GB of ram and above, and a good processor will help. I'm not sure what editing software you use, but the editing part should be fine.
As long as the the front glass of your taking lens is smaller than the back glass diameter of the anamorphic adapter, you'll get great results. The zooms don't do too well.
@@user-zu8nc9rc9k That's right. They would work well. Pretty much any glass with a small front glass element. I like the Canon FD 35mm F2.8, which is what I used in the samples with the A7C. Worked like a charm.
Zeek- is there a ring adapter "configuration", that would allow this adaptor to work, on a Rokinon lens that is a 77mm thread? Apparently this might cause some vignette in some way , but this seems to be the most affordable way to convert a Rokinon lens to have some anamorphic squeeze that will bring a more cinematic aspect ratio to the footage from these lenses
I used a manual lens and a Canon EF lens with a maximum shutter speed of 1/150, which prevented the lens from being used with a wide aperture. What needs to be set
You can shoot wide open. I set 1/50. Use an ND Filter on the front of the adapter. Poor ND's will create poor results. I shoot mostly 24p / 25p. I use manual all the time. Autofocus works, but it will be challenging with double focus.
Hi zeek many thanks for the upload ❤️❤️❤️ I see that you’re using the adapter on the ef-m 22mm lens, do you then shoot in magiclantern anamorphic fltp or hd 1080p in camera ? Your help is appreciated greatly as always
Zeek I have a question brother. So I have this anamorphic adapter but I’m kinda starting to get annoyed of all the fiddling around I have to do to get it focused. Can I just shoot in a 2:35:1 ascent ration without the anamorphic adapter and achieve the same look?
Sorry im new to this does the adaptor work best with wide lenses around 20mm or with lenses 50mm or longer? Assuming they both have small front elements. Thanks for the great idea.
It really depends on your camera. GH5 or Micro Four Thirds Sensor, 20mm will be fine, but on Full Frame no. 35mm is the widest I have Used on Full Frame, the small glass element produced great results. On my crop sensor camera with a large crop and vintage wide lenses, 12.5mm has even worked. The camera has a 2.56x crop.
I've this adaptor and a BMPCC6k. The widest taking lens I've used is a Canon EFS24mm f2.8 pancake lens. Here's a video with some footage with this lens combo and also some lensbaby optics. All the driving shots are with the anamorphot adaptor. The Lensbaby shots are just cropped to fit widescreen. ua-cam.com/video/C1H5_uA4vc8/v-deo.html
@@rayanmagneto anything with small glass will perform better. Canon 50mm F1.8 STM, not sure if the Canon 40mm STM will fit the speedbooster but that could be a good solution.
I don't use the A7C anymore unfortunately, but it's still a great camera. The best kit imo is the Sony FE 28-70 OS. I used mainly the Sony 28mm F2 & 50mm F1.8 Combo. My favourite was the 28mm F2. But I would consider also the Tamron 17-28mm. Sigma Art in Sony mount are also good but can be quite combersome.
Not always, but I do use a Pro Mist 1/4. I use 5K FRTP Mode, 2.5K & 2.8K Modes. Barely see them. I plan to make a video sharing my approach with these settings too.
@@ZeekEOSZ ah that makes sense, because I use the 1080p modes, im not so confident with the 2.5k yet but whenever theres lines or buildings or anything I get aliasing so maybe I'll try again. finally took the leap and I'm enjoying it alot, can't wait to post some content once I feel confident :D I just wanna know how I can stack the ND filter with the pro mist
@@LouisLuzuka Use the 5K FRTP Mode. It has normal liveview but with a 2x crop instead of 1.6x. Sharpness isn't everything, but use the right lens and you can get some amazing results with this mode.
@@ZeekEOSZ okay I'll go to your other video talking about 5k FRTP mode, because I'm still not confident with trying it, I'm so happy with the 1080p setting I got dialled in and I dont want to mess it up it took so long to get it down. wow. sharpness isn't everything is that how you're able to get good footage from 15-45mm lens? what is the thing you focus on the most because the best image I got so far was only from the 50mm f2 Nikon lens speed boosted. thats the best image I've ever seen on my Eos m crispy and amazing!!
@@LouisLuzuka A few things have changed from that video. Monitors work fine with 1080/5K FRTP now. The liveview is normal, what you see is what you get. I love the Canon Kit Lens, and Canon L Glass I've had from the 5D2. I hope to maybe get the Canon 17-55 IS. I love Nikkor. They have to be one of my favourites for vintage glass. 😎👌🔥
Hi Zeek, I use this adapter with my GH5s and 25mm f1,7 combo but when I have elements on certain sets that cross the screen horizontally, I have a huge barrel distrosion. Have you noticed this? I have to do some tests but I think that when you shoot wide open this accentuates the distortion.
In surprised you experience distortion with the GH5s considering the sensors crop factor. Have you tried a different lens? The panny 25m I feel as an awkward focus by wire ring. I shoot wide open a lot with this Adapter and it's all been good!
@@ZeekEOSZ About the aperture, how far did you use it? I'll buy the 25 mm 1.4 leica version with a better focus i think and try to combi the 15 mm lumix leica 1,7 with the slr 40 compact. Tks for this information ;)
I've had this and it completely destroyed image quality on any lens I tested it with. Its not worth it IMO since the artifacts and distortions does not mimic the quality of a true anamorphic lens and more like those budget anamorphics back in the day
The adapter if used with the right setup can produce excellent results, of course with the exceptions of the things mentioned in the vid like bokeh. But the results do speak for themselves. Using smaller glass with this adapter will get you the best results. Of course it's nowhere near a perfect anamorphic lens, but for a stylistic cinematic choice, it really is a joy to use.
@@ZeekEOSZ The bokeh looks far better and longer when focused closer. It's not entirely double focus, you can leave it on near and focus very well with the lens only up to around 10 metres. After that, bokeh doesn't really matter as much.
I have seen videos made with 1.33 anamorphic adapters like this along with oval cutouts added in the taking lens (like Tito’s “anamorfake”) for the bokeh that looked pretty good, have you ever tried that or considered it? I think the idea is to shoot wide open using the cutout along with a variable nd filter to control exposure? Then you get the oval bokeh from the cutout and real flares and compression from the adapter, and the examples do look quite good.
Yeah, they're good solutions too, I have done this method with the Sigma 18-35mm. But you can't stop the lens down otherwise you get vignette. It's mainly for shooting around wide open.
@@ZeekEOSZ Just to be clear, I’m not referring to the oval filters with the string in the middle for flares, I mean just the oval insert in the taking lens and a real anamorphic adapter in front for flares and compression - so the flares are real and only the oval bokeh comes from the insert - but yes, it was described as only working with the aperture wide open and using a variable ND to control exposure - looked great but I can’t find it on UA-cam now (not sure what I was searching for when I ran across it).

hey zeek. its almost fall time here in amaerica. Do you have any fall vibe fall time presets to really have the leaf colors pop? Thanks!
I don't unfortunately. It can be done in your editor using hue/saturation curves for the particular colours.

That Lumix is a solid lens for a pancake! Love it!
Yeah wish they focused on the bokeh aspect haha 👌🎥🔥
@@ZeekEOSZ I don't mind the bokeh too much, but the super scifi ultrablue flares are a bit "seent it". Amber, pink, or neutral would be amaaaazing
how is super easy to focus when you need to make dual focus ?
Can I use this with the Fuji XF-24mm 1.4 ? IS the front element of class biiger then 40mm ?
Do you think the 7artisans 25mm F1.8 is a better lens than the Eos M 22mm f2 kit lens?
Are these good to use with the anamorphic adaptor?
They are both good lenses for sure! The quality of the 7Artisans feels better, both are sharp. Either one is a good choice. For photography I like the 22mm Pancake a little more.

Hi,Zeek. Is the 2.5k raw mode on the eos m upscaled from 1080p or is it native with the crop factor.
it crops into the sensor to achieve a 1:1 2.5K Resolution. No upscaling involved.
I would love a video on your focus solutions. If you have experimented with follow focus rings or any auto focus stuff. Specifically with the EOS-m.

I'll buy the 25 mm 1.4 leica version with a better focus i think and try to combi the 15 mm lumix leica 1,7 with the slr 40 compact. Tks for this information ;)
@@djamelbertal6882 I've used it on full frame Sony A7c with 28mm F2 and BMPCC 6K with takumar 35mm F2 shot wide open as seen in the night shots.
I've had this and it completely destroyed image quality on any lens I tested it with. Its not worth it IMO since the artifacts and distortions does not mimic the quality of a true anamorphic lens and more like those budget anamorphics back in the day
The adapter if used with the right setup can produce excellent results, of course with the exceptions of the things mentioned in the vid like bokeh. But the results do speak for themselves. Using smaller glass with this adapter will get you the best results. Of course it's nowhere near a perfect anamorphic lens, but for a stylistic cinematic choice, it really is a joy to use.
@@ZeekEOSZ The bokeh looks far better and longer when focused closer. It's not entirely double focus, you can leave it on near and focus very well with the lens only up to around 10 metres. After that, bokeh doesn't really matter as much.
I have seen videos made with 1.33 anamorphic adapters like this along with oval cutouts added in the taking lens (like Tito’s “anamorfake”) for the bokeh that looked pretty good, have you ever tried that or considered it?
I think the idea is to shoot wide open using the cutout along with a variable nd filter to control exposure? Then you get the oval bokeh from the cutout and real flares and compression from the adapter, and the examples do look quite good.
Yeah, they're good solutions too, I have done this method with the Sigma 18-35mm. But you can't stop the lens down otherwise you get vignette. It's mainly for shooting around wide open.
@@ZeekEOSZ Just to be clear, I’m not referring to the oval filters with the string in the middle for flares, I mean just the oval insert in the taking lens and a real anamorphic adapter in front for flares and compression - so the flares are real and only the oval bokeh comes from the insert - but yes, it was described as only working with the aperture wide open and using a variable ND to control exposure - looked great but I can’t find it on UA-cam now (not sure what I was searching for when I ran across it).
@@martymcfly2936 Okay, never seen that method being done, sounds interesting though, especially for portraiture 👌🔥
Thanks
