Known for both its cine-style spherical lenses and anamorphic adapters, SLR Magic has combined the two to create an anamorphic lens. The 50mm 2x Anamorphot-CINE Lens delivers a complete, one piece, anamorphic lens with a maximum aperture of T2.8. The lens provides a 2.35:1 aspect ratio to your image when used with your 16:9 sensor. Suitable for use with cameras with a Four Thirds sensor, the anamorphic lens allows you record an image with a wider aspect ratio than your sensor's native aspect ratio without cropping your image, which maximizes the resolution of your image.

The lens features a 3.5' minimum focus distance and has geared focus and iris rings. It is worth pointing out that the front of the lens rotates as you focus, which may affect your choice of matte box. The 82mm front filter thread allows you to screw in filters, such as diopters to shorten the 3.5' minimum focus distance. Included with the lens is a hard case for storage and transport.

50mm Lens for Four Thirds Sensors    T2.8    2x Anamorphic Squeeze    3.5' Minimum Focus distance    Geared Focus and Iris Rings    82mm Front Filter Thread    Hard Case Included

This 50mm lens produces a 2.66:1 aspect ratio on Four Thirds sensors. This allows you to get a greater widescreen effect while maximizing your sensors resolution.

Geared focus and iris rings allow use follow focus unit or lens motor to pull your focus or iris

The 82mm threaded front allows you to mount filters or diopters directly to the front of the lens. Diopters, although not included, can be used to change the focus range of the lens, allowing you to focus closer than the normal close focus of the lens. Please note that using a diopter will also affect the far focus distance.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the minimum focusing distance of this lens?

A: SLR Magic does not list a minimum focusing distance for this lens. However they do list a Closest Focusing Distance of 0.66' / 0.2m for other models of 18mm lenses that they have. It should be in the same range with this model as well.

Q: 2. in full pictures is 36mm?

A: The majority of MFT mount cameras will have a 2x crop factor. Yes, this will be the 35mm Equivalent of a 36mm lens.

Q: 3. Would this work with the Anamorphot 1.33x-40 (the original, not the new compact version)? I know this is made for the Anamorphot cine lenses, but the 1.33-40 adapter has very similar dimensions for the front of the lens.

A: Not that we are aware of. This is designed specifically for Anamorphot-CINE prime lenses, not their adapter products.

Q: 4. Does this create a light-tight seal between the lens and the mattebox?

A: This does have a fairly large opening in it to control the focus on one of the lenses it is designed for, such as the B&H # SLRAC502XMFT. It may not be light proof, however it will give you a strong connection to clamp a Matte Box to.

Q: 5. Will this work with the Fuji GFXs Medium format?

A: No, the SLR Magic 50mm 1.33x Anamorphot-CINE Lens (PL Mount) is not compatible with the FUJIFILM GFX cameras since it is designed for smaller sensors.

Q: 6. what is the focal length on a bmpcc?

A: The original Pocket Cinema Camera has a 2.88x crop factor which will make this lens the equivalent of a 51.84mm. While the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K has a 1.9x crop factor for a 34.2mm field of view.

Q: 7. How many elements are in this lens?

A: There are 11 elements in 10 groups in the SLR Magic 35mm T2.4 2x Anamorphot-CINE Lens.

Q: 8. Can I use it on the Tilta matte box mb-T12?

A: Yes you can use this lens with that matte box. That matte box offers 15mm rod support, you would just need a product like the IndiPro baseplate to use it. https://bhpho.to/2WzppUi

Q: 9. how would this lens work on a smaller sensor such as a super16 - 12.48 x 7.02 mm sensor size ?

A: If the lens mount and the flange depth are correct, then this lens will cover a Super16 sensor and focus without issue. I would assume you are thinking of the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera and are wondering what this lens would actually look like on it. With anamorphic, in order to maintain perspective, the rule of thumb is to 2X the focal length for the focal length you would normally use. In Super16, the Rule Of Thumb (ROT) with regular lenses: wide is 12mm, normal is 25mm and telephoto is 50mm. When shooting in anamorphic, you would then consider 25mm the wide, 50mm the normal and 100mm the telephoto. With this 35mm anamorphic lens, you would be getting a moderate wide perspective in the frame. This of course is not the same thing as the wide aspect ratio you are shooting in. (Which is the whole point of anamorphic.)

Q: 10. Can this lens be used with S35 sensor or Full Frame cameras (with EF-mount adapter)? For example URSA and Canon 5D?

A: Sorry, this lens creates an image circle that is only suitable for use with cameras with a Four Thirds sensor.
