There are new mounting options for the popular anamorphic lenses. Last year, lens specialists MTF Services, which also sells a variety of brands direct to consumers, like NiSi, Samyang, and Blueshape, announced they're offering lens mount conversions for the Sirui 35mm F1.8 and 50mm F1.8 anamorphics which tout a 1.33x squeeze and image circle wide enough to cover APS-C sized-sensors. With Sirui releasing the 24mm F1.8 1.33x, MTF has stepped up to offer the same conversions in Canon RF, L-mount, and Sony FZ. The lens mount is converted using the Micro Four Thirds lens, and for an additional fee of approx. $279 (£200), MTF will change the mount of your choice. If you don't already own the lens, the total cost will set you back approx. $1,300 (£950). With the lens converted to Canon RF, it can fully cover the RED Komodo, Canon C70, as well as the Canon EOS R because the 4K full-frame has a 1.7x crop. When shooting full-frame on the Canon EOS R5 and R6, expect a crop around 1.35x. The L-mount version of the lens will pair nice with the video-centric Panasonic S1H and newer S5, both of which have anamorphic shooting modes. Read More...
