$700 ANAMORPHIC | Laowa 1.33x Front Anamorphic Adapter 

Solution for the impracticality problem you mentioned: Buy adapter for EVERY lens and just keep them on there, add a little piece of tape to prevent accidental level changing. Sounds expensive but it's still more affordable than a proper single dedicated anamorphic lens by far. And you get to keep the modularity

Hands down best review on this adapter i've seen so far. Actually, best overall review I've seen this year so far. Super informative and entertaining

Thanks, really thorough review - I've been considering this or the Sirui 1.25x anamorphic adapters and this has given me the best overview of the Laowa adapter in use. Particularly useful is the impracticality of changing lenses very often. This makes me think that the best use case by far for these adapters are zoom lenses, except for the weight of the rig of course. Whilst I love the look, and I think this is a very well engineered product, I'm now having second thoughts due to the practicality of changing lenses on a shoot... appreciate the insights.

great video. good job. thank you. all the answers i needed.

👊🏾 Awesome entertaining review, thanks for reviewing this, super helpful. I've just started on my review

Thanks! Haven’t seen many people talking about this, but looks like a good alternative to a full set of anamorphic lenses

Thank you for this review, finally somebody reviewed this interesting piece of gear! Much appreciated!!!

I noticed in different comparisons between anamorphic adapters, this one has some of the least chromatic aberrations and looked very pleasing. I guess my question is it worth the $699 price tag for the features? Or should I just go for something like the sirui anamorphic adapter?

I know it is a lot more work but would've liked to see more sample shots with the adapter. Especially on the longer 85mm. But it is still a good ana adapter explainer video.

This is a BAD REVIEW. The adapter has got a MOUNT WITH 2 SCREWS. You are supposed to MOUNT THE ADAPTER TIGHT WITH 2 SCREWS ON TOP OF THE 2 RODS. You messed up, and blamed the adapter

How’s the sharpness wide open with adapter?

I am under the impression that the front element does not move when focusing the adapter. Is this the case? Also I need one more bit of info what was the clear image zoom value? On your site you say you have an fx3, so I assume you used that camera. With the CIZ value I can determine the all important image height, that will make your video the most important one I have seen to date. ❤
