Anamorphic Test

Boring photo off the back porch, but just trying to familiarize myself with my new Sankor Type 5e anamorphic lens.

 

I underestimated how hard it is to focus with this lens. A complicated process that involves focusing the anamorphic lens so the image does not appear stretched in either the vertical or horizontal plane, and then focusing your taking lens so the image appears sharp.

 

Anamorphics rarely preform amazing wide open, so the advantages of having a fast taking lens are quickly diminished by having to nitpick and dick around for focus. I'm sure I'll get better as I spend more time with it.

 

For now...here it is.
