This thing is really cool, I’d just wish it was at least a 1.5x squeeze - maybe the version 2 will allow for that because this seems like a fun thing to use for both stills and video.

Im obsessed with anamorphic I can't wait to get my hands on one of these.

I think it's a huuuuge oversight not being geared. Would have ended up in so many bags, wireless foucs bags etc. Silly geese. Looks really lovely and the best review of this item x

I haven't used the moment but have been playing quite a bit with my SLRMagic 1.33x Anamorphot. I think my main issue is for 90% of what you're doing the 1.33x squeeze just isn't enough to justify the quirks of dual focus, lack of sharpness etc. You're better off stepping back a few steps for the FOV as the look isn't THAT different. But it can achieve a really cool look if you work the shot quite a bit. For me this makes it a great choice for narrative filmmaking but not as good a choice for general photography. Basically it's a lot of extra nonsense in order to get just a mild squeeze (and therefore a mild anamorphic look.). I think at the price point for this adapter I'd really be wanting a higher squeeze factor. My SLRmagic used in perfect condition was less than a third the price and while I have no doubt its an inferior product it is also smaller and lighter but I am questioning the look even at THAT price point.

Something I had fun with on my M43rds cameras is flipping the adapter sideways and effectively creating a micro 4/4ths camera with effectively a nearly square sensor.

But the main issue with 1.33x is you have to shoot 16:9 to get anything close to that "widescreen" anamorphic look when you desqueeze. But the whole reason I am shooting anamorphic is to fit MORE stuff into my scene while being closer to my subject or on longer focal lengths. And for most cameras that 16:9 aspect ratio means cropping the sensor and therefore getting LESS stuff in your frame. So it rapidly becomes not worth all the handling difficulty. If you have a greater squeeze factor that lets your 3:2 or 4:3 sensor get to "widescreen" you're amplifying the look even further than the squeeze factor implies. With 1.33x on a 3:2 frame you get just short of 2:1, a tiny bit wider than 16:9

Let's see more of that Sirui + Moment footage! :D

[whtube]

This makes any lens perfect for radio. 👍

[cameron_cushman]

By far the best footage I’ve seen from the Moment. Well done

I'm starting to think that all the YouTubers who review photo and video material don't have heating in their homes, otherwise I can't explain the wool hat on all of them.

[divyangkundaliya]

can you show more of sirui 50mm 1.33x with moment adapter

[barnseymedia]

Just purchased. Thanks for the vid. Beautiful imagery.

[adrianrobison]

Can you test the Moment 1.33x anamorphic adapter on a Sony 70-200mm f2.8 ii GM taking lens?

[alexandre_debieve]

The Lens is so cool, you have to keep your jacket on 😁

[megatryn]

I'd love to see it combined with a tilt/shift and used on some architectural photography

[eliblanton]

Bit late, but I'd love some more in depth information and more images from the anamorphic adapter on the GFX.

[hellohogo]

moment killed this product with the price

[SangnomShekey]

would rangefinder focusing be possible using this adapter on some M mount glass?

[TheJ_G]

I’m surprised this looks softer than the older SLR magic Anamorphic front adapter that works the same way. I would think that it being considerably newer that they would’ve figured out how to improved the effect.

[colinwatt]

All these video samples look too soft for me. Do you have any lenses for the FX3 that can be used with this adapter that are super sharp? And possibly with a deeper field of view (maybe f4-5).

[scottkukla]

Why does everyone ignore that you have to set it at 2.8???

[izzieb]

I was watching this earlier, then YouTube informed me it was no longer available. Interested to see how this performs compared to other adapters!
