Deer Park Trip 2016






Shot at 1080p with the Optex 1.33X anamorphic adapter.  De-squeezed using HandBrakeCLI, Edited using iMovie.

The camera is the Nikon D7000 and the lens is the Nikkor 28mm f/2 AIS.  I attached the Optex to the Nikkor via a 52-58 step up ring.  The Nikkor has a 52mm filter thread while the Optex has a 58mm.  The 28mm seems to be the "sharpest" when used with the Optex.  Sharp is a relative term here.  I don't think I will ever get a sharp image from the Optex.  The minimum focusing distance is life at least 10 feet away.  The Optex does not come with any front filter thread so to attach a diopter is not a straight forward thing.

If you think sharpness is grossly overrated and value a wider format then Optex anamorphic maybe just for you.
