From Duclos Lenses…
Some more early testing done with the new Duclos 2X Rear Anamorphic Adapter. This particular video showcases the adapter’s flare and specular highlight characteristic in low-light environments. For this test we used a classic Angenieux 25-250mm HR which was shot almost wide open for all scenes. The anamorphic adapter provides an effective focal length of 50-500mm with a little more than one stop of light loss. Normally, a aspect ratio of 4:3 would be recommended as a base, but we really wanted to show the field of view capabilities of this lens/format combination.
