get ready to get a lot of questions about your weird-looking camera if you attache the swing away filter holder I got stopped many times by curious people because the filter holder was opened and it looked like a space camera from Back to the future.
I would love to see a list of quality wide angle adapters, so many of them (for cameras and phones) are just poor quality with significant distortion and chromatic aberration. Great video!
Hey man! I just wanted to stop by and say, I first came across your videos quite a long time ago (a few years before the pandemic). I recently started to learn about filmmaking myself, and found your videos again - can i say you are awesome, always a pleasure to watch your content.
I bought a "SYH&AQYE 67mm 2.2X Universal Teleconverter " adapter that works very well on my 75mm anamorphic. It cost about $45, and I think it was more like a 1.7X, but still really good with no easily decernable loss in IQ.
you are an absolute legend in this anamorphic world.......thanks mate.....super straight to the point practical facts for shooting.....superdupa channel.....what a legend.
The Merkury Optics 0.45x with 72mm thread seems to be really hard to find after this video, haha. The closest I've been able to find is the AGFA 72mm 0.43X Super Macro Wide Angle Lens APWAG72. I wonder how it holds up to the Merkury. Anyone have any experience?
Hi @Anamorphic on a Budget, so glad to discover your channel, I will definitely delve deeper. Could you please clarify as it was not apparent to me from the video, can a diopter and a wide angle adapter be stacked and used simultaneously with the Sirui 24mm? Thanks so much!
they are all very nice cosmetic and functional changes, I would like to see a comparison of the 3 "cinemod" sirui. Alternatively, can you buy them already modified? both with the oval diaphragm and with the other adapters?
I have comparisons on all the videos! No one offers to sell them already modded, as far as I know. Maybe MTF services will though, as they asked for a bunch of my oval inserts.
Awesome video! Just what I was looking for. Any clue where could I find that wide angle adapter??? Can’t find anywhere… or do you recommend a different one !? Thx 🙏
Got a $30 yashica 72mm 0.45x wide adapter and it’s super clean, but it vignettes on my apsc sensor xt4 & I have to crop in substantially to get rid of it. Is this normal for these wide angle adapters?
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Hey, i was wondering , if i attach a 0.35 wide angle on my anamorphic 35mm will i get a vignet?and is it too wide?? sorry for my english not very goood
because i don't care that it will be too wide, i love that style like the revenant or wong kar waii movies but i don't like that to be "circle wide " like skateboard fisheye and i'm scared to have this type of effect if i choose a .35 wide angle, but i'm scared that the .45 wide angle is not that wide
i tried 2 different wide angle adapters on my sirui 24mm on both the lens flares became horizontal and VERTICAL... used the same adapters on the 35 and 75mm and the flares are normal. Whats wrong with my 24mm?
That aperture mechanism looks suspiciously like very inexpensive microscope iris units available on eBay/Amazon. I’ve been thinking of modding one to have and maintain an oval shape when stopping down, I think it’s possible.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget they have a valid patent on that? Bummer. Edit: just found theirs. What I have in mind is mechanically different. I doubt they can lay claim to the overall concept of an oval iris mechanism in its entirety.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget That's so amazing! So between the Z-Cam s6 and a gh5s using the 35 and 50. I'd have basically 8 lenses for the price of two lenses? Correct me if I'm wrong. I know the only thing really changing is field of view between them.
Considering to make a diy setup, but I want to know one thing: Should I attach a wide angle adapter in front of variable diopter? or between variable diopter and anamorphic adapter? Will use a FVD and a Kowa B&H. I am not an optics expert so don't know much about that. please let me know.
This is nice, but I kind of would love to see how stacked anamorphics would work out with this rather diminutive lens and hopefully avoid disassembling the rear. An anamorphot and rangefinder or HCDNA on the front could be more solid even if way more costly then a lot of other options, but also a bit more flexible.
I don't know if I agree with this. I mean, at this point it's just better to ditch the Sirui for a cheaper and smaller 24mm lens. The whole point of this lens for me is being single focus in a small package. If we're adding an adapter + vari diopter in front of it, we're cancelling its advantages.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Yeah, I see what you mean and I was resistant to the idea even as I was thinking of it for the same reasons. However, it still may not be as much of a convenience disadvantage relative to other options. Both add-ons (SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x 50/ HCDNA) are still relatively short and threaded or clamped with the intention of being used together. The combo could still be slightly lighter, less expensive then even the Atlas lenses with more comparable results then the Suriu‘s alone.
Another super clean and informative video, can you comment on what you think roughly the new field of view equivalent is with the .04 converter would be for both X and Y axis in full frame MM equivalence?
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Sweet I will get some then. I just recall an old comment on one of your videos saying they couldn’t get the mount off of the newer Sirui lenses but didn’t know if that was still the case
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Thanks for the advice. The adapters probably won't arrive until June. So maybe I will check out the one you suggested in the meantime - if I can find one at a reasonable price ;-)
Hi Tito! This video got me wondering. Would a 24mm Sirui anamorphic with a Sony E-mount, mounted on a GH5 with a .71 E to MTF speedbooster give a wider FOV?
Hey Tito! looking for a good wide angle adapter option for my modest set up: helios 44 + kowa 16d + fvd 16d. What else beside thread milimeter should I care about? Thanks in advance.
The best ones are 0.7x, anything stronger than that (0.5x) will be incredibly distorted and losing image quality. It's a hard balance between weight and image quality overall, to be honest.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget thank you mano! ainda fala portugues? haha, another question, i just won an elmo ii, should i get the fvd 24 or am i good with the fvd 16a in order to get a wider fov?
Glad you very quickly dropped this stupid second-angle camera that showed you from a different angle … for literally no other benefit than to have a second-angle camera, also known as The Crapshot.
HAHAHAH thank you for the positive(?) feedback. The second angle was useful in some circumstances to cut around things, but now I just go for b-roll or a crop-in.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Yes, it's positive alright. This habit of interspersing the sole and only address to the viewer with pseudo-voyeuristic side angles for no other … excuse, for that's at most what it is, than to have an angle to switch to, is sadly all too pervasive, so, it is refreshing to see when, if people do experiment with it, they drop it. I mean, who am I telling this, but good camera work doesn't make itself known.
Heya! I wanted to check what kind of content you're into. So far I've seen a lot of negative comments and couldn't figure out what you're trying to find. Thanks!

Hi, having difficultly unscrewing it, any tips?😊
Hi , at,2.1o min , that swung away filter ring you hv , what is it called or where can I get one ?
This guy? www.ebay.com/itm/203333550659
Smart tip on using a solder iron to heat up the thread lock. Thanks!
Where can I find the MOD? Its not on the website anymore. Thanks!!
you are an absolute legend in this anamorphic world.......thanks mate.....super straight to the point practical facts for shooting.....superdupa channel.....what a legend.
Love the 2.39.1 aspect ratio you gave to this video :)
Thank you for you time and attention.
I’m sorry if stated and not seeing it, where did you get flip filter holder?
The Merkury Optics 0.45x with 72mm thread seems to be really hard to find after this video, haha. The closest I've been able to find is the AGFA 72mm 0.43X Super Macro Wide Angle Lens APWAG72. I wonder how it holds up to the Merkury. Anyone have any experience?
You get it?
I have some of the Xume magnetic rings. You might try a set of those for the diopters and vNDs. They work great.
Hi @Anamorphic on a Budget, so glad to discover your channel, I will definitely delve deeper. Could you please clarify as it was not apparent to me from the video, can a diopter and a wide angle adapter be stacked and used simultaneously with the Sirui 24mm? Thanks so much!
Hey Dimitri! Yeah, they can be stacked. The diopter has to be in front of the wide-angle adapter. :)
Great video as always :-) can i use the wide angle adapter on a anamorphic adapter setup? Would it be in front of the adapter or in front of the lens?
Thank you! Yeah, the WA goes in front of the whole thing.
Are you going to do a similar mod for the new Sirui Night Walker series? I would love to get some oval bokeh on these lenses!
If Sirui is open to, I'd love to experiment. :)
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Oh, did Sirui give their support to your oval insert experiment with their anamorphic lens?
@@andrew_nayes They sent me the lenses, so that was something. Hahaha.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Haha! Let's hope they are as generous with their new lenses!
Can we put the oval ring into the 50mm version of the lens too? I'm assuming they all have a similar design in that regard.
Somewhat similar. I have a tutorial for the 50 and 35mm as well. :)
they are all very nice cosmetic and functional changes, I would like to see a comparison of the 3 "cinemod" sirui.
Alternatively, can you buy them already modified? both with the oval diaphragm and with the other adapters?
I have comparisons on all the videos! No one offers to sell them already modded, as far as I know. Maybe MTF services will though, as they asked for a bunch of my oval inserts.
Can it do diopter with wide angle at the same time?
Awesome video! Just what I was looking for. Any clue where could I find that wide angle adapter??? Can’t find anywhere… or do you recommend a different one !?
Thx 🙏
Thank you! I'm gonna sell mine soon, if you're okay with waiting a little bit!
@@AnamorphicOnABudget sure! I’ll grab it from you
Thx 😊
@@AnamorphicOnABudget let me know! Thx
I'd like to see some tests with the wide angle adapters.
Got a $30 yashica 72mm 0.45x wide adapter and it’s super clean, but it vignettes on my apsc sensor xt4 & I have to crop in substantially to get rid of it. Is this normal for these wide angle adapters?
I don't know, the ones I got all worked, but I got mainly 0.7x so far.
did you find another wide angle adapter that worked for you ?
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Hey, i was wondering , if i attach a 0.35 wide angle on my anamorphic 35mm will i get a vignet?and is it too wide?? sorry for my english not very goood

btw i love your work, it motivate me to purchase my sirui 35mm and really help me alot!!!

Careful not to infringe on Hawk's patent on a controlled oval iris.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget they have a valid patent on that? Bummer.
Edit: just found theirs. What I have in mind is mechanically different. I doubt they can lay claim to the overall concept of an oval iris mechanism in its entirety.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget why the hell should he care about patents, he's not here to manufacture and sell the thing, does he?
Hi, so after using a wide angle adapter… how would I deesqueze on post ?
No difference. The wide angle adapter doesn't change the squeeze.
Great video! Would the wide angle hack work on the 50 as well?
Yeah, I made a video about that too.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget That's so amazing! So between the Z-Cam s6 and a gh5s using the 35 and 50. I'd have basically 8 lenses for the price of two lenses? Correct me if I'm wrong. I know the only thing really changing is field of view between them.
Wow! That’s cool! 👍 I might consider buying this 35mm
That's a 24mm though! hahaha
Will it work on the 35mm?
Considering to make a diy setup, but I want to know one thing: Should I attach a wide angle adapter in front of variable diopter? or between variable diopter and anamorphic adapter? Will use a FVD and a Kowa B&H. I am not an optics expert so don't know much about that. please let me know.
The wide angle adapter goes in front of the whole setup!
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Thank you!
You touched it with your finger!!
I did!

I am getting the sirui 35 mm anamorphic lens . Can I use the metabones speed booster with it? Is it reccomended?
No, you cannot.
Another super clean and informative video, can you comment on what you think roughly the new field of view equivalent is with the .04 converter would be for both X and Y axis in full frame MM equivalence?
i bought the 35mm but noticed it's too zoomed in
Is it possible to add your inserts into the MTF service L mount version of the Sirui’s?
Yep! :D
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Sweet I will get some then. I just recall an old comment on one of your videos saying they couldn’t get the mount off of the newer Sirui lenses but didn’t know if that was still the case
I've been using a heat gun to loosen the screws. Hasn't failed me yet.
can you make Vazen 28mm cover full frame or at least 16:9 of full frame? hahaha, I know I sound greedy...
No, I can't. The image circle just isn't that large.
What do you think of the ZOMEI Ultra Slim 0.45x AF Wide Angle?
I haven't tried it. Ultra slim or single element wide-angle adapters usually require macro focusing on the lens itself though, so be careful.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget Thanks for the advice. The adapters probably won't arrive until June. So maybe I will check out the one you suggested in the meantime - if I can find one at a reasonable price ;-)
@@AnamorphicOnABudget BTW: There are so many 0.45x adapters out there. Do you think that there are significant differences between them? Best regards
@@AnamorphicOnABudget cant this be compensated by just adding a diopter?
Hi Tito! This video got me wondering. Would a 24mm Sirui anamorphic with a Sony E-mount, mounted on a GH5 with a .71 E to MTF speedbooster give a wider FOV?
The Sirui's can't be speedboosted. I have many videos explaining why. The flange distance is incompatible.
Are the oval inserts for 24 and 35 different? Or can one be used on 24 and the other on 35?
Yeah, they're different sizes.
@@AnamorphicOnABudget thanks 🙏 Will order for the 24mm now. If all good, will test the one for 35 too ;-)
P.S.: A great channel you run there!
Thank you! And i got your order! :)
