SMALLRIG Anamorphic Lens - 1.33x for Mobile, 2.4:1 Deform Screen, T-Mount iPhone 12-15, Samsung S21/22 - 4590

Bought this when it was heavily discounted recently. Have now used it a couple of times and I have to say the resulting image quality is pretty damn good. If you’re picky about image quality around the very edges (towards the corners), this is no better and definitely no worse than most anamorphic lenses around the £100-200 price point that I have previously had some experience with. That’s the nature of the beast unless you choose to pay hundreds of pounds for a top of the range lens of this type. For most of us, this is not something you’d readily spot through general image viewing. Does what it says on the tin.

Very well made lens. It's all good quality for build and mount. But on my Google Pixel 8 Pro phone the vignetting and softness is so bad it makes it look very amateurish. I've attached some footage for you to judge for yourselves. I'll be returning this as I won't be using due to the very poor quality results. Maybe it's better on different phone models? I don't know. But at just over £100 I can't justify it sitting in the drawer never being used. And I'm likely to stick with Pixel Pro phones for the foreseeable as the native video and still imagery from them is superb. Which sadly shows up just how bad this lens is really. First thing I've had from smallrig that I don't like. Sorry smallrig. You'll have to do much much better next time.

Used for a music video with the latest iPhone - worked really well!

Honestly I would not bother buying this unless you have the right case for it that can directly screw on, because despite following the instructions I could not properly mount the lens on there, and even when I had partially secured it, there was distortion in the camera, and the mount would just slide off anyways.

The lense creates a widescreen letter box effect to my videos. Installation was very straightforward and it fits my iphone 15 Pro Max OK. Whilst it can feel a bit bulky when you're filming, the visual quality it offers is worth the slight inconvenience. If you're keen mobile fim maker, I'd be happy to recommend.

This is a top quality anamorphic lens, providing that wide angle cinematic look to my videos. As with all Smallrig products I've had in the past, this is no exception and the quality is top notch. With the separately sold adaptors, it fits my iPhone 15 Pro perfectly. Overall, a fantastic quality product that I find very easy to recommend.

This anamorphic lens is excellent for my mobile filmmaking. It gives my videos that wide-screen, cinematic look with those cool horizontal flares. It's a bit fiddly to set up with the T-mount and phone case, but once it's on, the results are impressive. It definitely elevates the production value of my footage.

Sono anni che utilizzo prodotti della Smallrig, dai semplici supporti, ai cage, fino a configurazioni più complesse e articolate. Anche per questa ragione sono andato sul "sicuro" con questa lente anamorfica da 1.33x che utilizzerò su un iPhone 15 Pro Max. La lente arriva nella solita confezione di cartone in perfetto stile Smallrig, al'interno di una comoda - quanto protettiva - custodia. In questo la lente è ben protetta durante il trasporto. La lente è certamente un concentrato di qualità, realizzata con ottimi materiali e una costruzione molto precisa e pulita. Utilizzata sia con la app BlackMagic Camera che FinalCut Camera, una volta impostate con l'opzione: lente anamorfica da 1.33x, il fotogramma restituito è pulito, bello, preciso. Da un punto di vista strettamente ottico, questa lente anamorfica NON ha difetti evidenti. Ciò che invece mi ha lasciato un po più "freddo" - e vale anche per lo stesso sistema su altri articoli di categoria - è il sistema di aggancio al Rig. L'attacco è della serie T, ma Smallrig NON ha previsto un blocco a scatto (ad esempio) sulla piastrina T da montare sui suoi Rig. Ciò comporta una sensazione di instabilità del supporto lente al Rig...e questa è una brutta sensazione, anche considerato che la lente ha peso sensibile. Altra nota che mi lascia "freddo" è il sistema di aggancio della lente al supporto: in questo caso l0aggancio è magnetico ed è molto forte. Ma il sistema magnetico è "limitato" a punti in croce di piccole dimensioni. Ciò comporta una leggera instabilità in termini di precisione: può tendere a ruotare leggermente sull'asse verticale. Considerato che la lente anamorfica tende a deformare il fotogramma, un mancato allienamento sul'asse verticale può comportare una maggiore deformazione che poi dovrà essere necessariamente recuperta in fase di Editing/Montaggio video. Avrei preferito lo stesso sistema di ggancio magnetico che Smallrig già utilizza con i filtri: sempre un sistema a croce, ma non a punti bensi a placchette estese. Molto più stabile e quasi priva di errori. Il costo di circa 100€ (al momento di questa recensione) è un prezzo in linea con altre soluzioni sul mercato, ma rimane che sono soldi molto bene spesi e lo consiglio vivamente, specie se già si lavora con le soluzioni Smallrig. 4 stelle perchè il prodotto è ottimo, ma il sistema di aggancio: supporto alla piastrina T e magnete della lente, li ho trovati di gran lunga migliorabili, anche in rlazione al carico cui sono sottoposti.

It didn't fit on my 14 Pro Max cage, no option to purchase the T mount plate for older cage. Very disappointed! The clip mount is useless!

First off, I'm surprised at some of the lower-starred reviews which seem mostly based on user error (I'll give tips below to solve those issues), but then I need to remember, not everyone is as experienced with this kind of stuff as I am... I recently switched over to a full SmallRig setup from my previous setup where I was using a popular competitor's Anamorphic lens and case. The thing about the SmallRig setup is it's actually better made, more functional, and less expensive than the competitors! This Anamorphic lens yields great results when using the proper app and settings. It's really well made, and I love that it has a built-in 67mm Threaded Filter ring to attach whatever type of filter is needed. I did also got the complete set of SmallRig Filters, which include a Variable ND, CPL, and 1/4 Black Mist Filter. Here are some tips to get the best use out of this lens: First, don't use that silly clip! Why would anyone use a clip that will partially cover your screen? Just get a proper case that has a T-Mount to attach the lens to. The SmallRig case is actually really well made and less expensive than the popular competitor's cases I've used since 2017. Second, of course, you need an app that will allow for Anamorphic de-squeeze. I used to use other apps for this, but now I use the free Blackmagic Camera app for my iPhone 16 Pro, and it is the most feature-rich video app I have ever used for an iPhone with a great user interface, much like their actual Cinema Cameras (I used to own their Blackmagic 6k Pro Cinema Camera, so I have experience with this.) Overall, I love this lens and have been really impressed with all of their offerings, which has allowed me to build a proper Cinema Rig for my iPhone 16 Pro. Highly recommended!

Excelente calidad, como la gran mayoría de los artículos SmallRig. Si llega a haber algún inconveniente, lo resuelven al 100% a favor.
