In the month of October, there are several Pagan holidays that are celebrated by various cultures and traditions around the world. One prominent holiday is Samhain, which is widely regarded as the Pagan New Year. Celebrated on October 31st, Samhain marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the dark half of the year. During Samhain, many Pagans believe that the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is at its thinnest, allowing for communication with ancestors and spirits. It is a time for honoring and remembering the deceased, as well as seeking guidance and protection from the otherworldly. Bonfires are typically lit to symbolize the purifying and protective qualities of fire, and rituals are performed to consecrate the transition into the new year.

The SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x creates unique effects such as horizontal lens flare, commonly referred to as anamorphic streaks, and may create slightly elongated bokeh when achromatic diopters are used. Over the history of cinema, these same stylish effects have contributed to the cinematic look of epic motion picture photography. Characteristics that shape this anamorphic look come from Front-mounted anamorphic adapter designs such as the SLR Magic Anamorphot while Rear-mounted anamorphic designs have more suppressed anamorphic characteristics.

Characteristics that shape this anamorphic look come from Front-mounted anamorphic adapter designs such as the SLR Magic Anamorphot while Rear-mounted anamorphic designs have more suppressed anamorphic characteristics. Trial and error will be involved but, in general, the SLR Magic Anamorphot is best paired with a prime lens whose front element not to be confused with its filter thread is smaller than 50mm in diameter.

Bonfires are typically lit to symbolize the purifying and protective qualities of fire, and rituals are performed to consecrate the transition into the new year. Another significant Pagan holiday in October is Mabon, also known as the Autumn Equinox. Celebrated around September 21st or 22nd, depending on the year, Mabon marks the balance between light and darkness, as well as the second harvest of the year.

A beautiful little film from Diego Contreras filmed in NYC with the GH4 and the SLR Magic Anamorphic 1.33x lens.

In the past, many indie filmmakers who wanted to shoot anamorphic had to depend on rare vintage lenses, which was not always reliable. To achieve the much loved 2.35:1 scope aspect ratio, which gives a very pleasant, epic effect, filmmakers must crop off the top and bottom of standard 16:9 footage when using spherical lenses with modern digital cameras. As a result, 25% of sensor/negative information is discarded.

As a commitment to the film industry, SLR Magic developed this 1.33x anamorphic adapter to help filmmakers maximize their image quality by preventing this loss of vertical resolution. The unique 1.33x squeeze factor uses the entire 16:9 sensor/negative area to achieve the desired 2.35:1 aspect ratio. The Anamorphot 1.33x does this by compressing a 33% wider field of view to fit the width of the 16:9 sensor/negative without compressing image height.

Modern professional cinema cameras have large sensors capable of capturing an image in the 2.35:1 format directly, using spherical lenses, but film makers still desire the anamorphic “look” which often limits them to using rare vintage lenses. These present a number of difficulties in practice such as size, weight, lack of close focus, availability, and high price. We sought to overcome such issues with the SLR Magic Anamorphot.

The SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x creates unique effects such as horizontal lens flare, commonly referred to as anamorphic streaks, and may create slightly elongated bokeh when achromatic diopters are used.

Characteristics that shape this anamorphic look come from Front-mounted anamorphic adapter designs such as the SLR Magic Anamorphot while Rear-mounted anamorphic designs have more suppressed anamorphic characteristics.

PLEASE NOTE: The SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x Attachement lens may have slight cosmetic imperfections such as small dust motes which has no observable impact on image quality. (PLEASE SEE THE LAST PHOTO ABOVE FOR AN EXAMPLE). It usually takes a lot of imperfections to perceptibly degrade the image quality of a lens. If this is an issue, please do not purchase the Anamorphot kit as returns will not be accepted due to these slight cosmetic imperfections and any dust particles that settle within the optics. This is normal and to be expected and is much better than used anamorphic attachments available elsewhere.

Suggested taking lens based on sensor size:

17-85mm focal length can be used for S16 sensor.

20-85mm focal length can be used for mFT (M4/3) sensor.

35-85mm focal length can be used for S35 and APS-C sensor.

40-85mm focal length can be used for Full Frame sensor.

Taking lens compatibility:

Lenses with non-rotating front filter threads must be used. The front element of the taking lens should be as close to the rear element of the SLR Magic Anamorphot 1,33x possible without making contact. It isn't necessary for the taking lens to have an internal focusing mechanism. Trial and error will be involved but, in general, the SLR Magic Anamorphot is best paired with a prime lens whose front element (not to be confused with its filter thread) is smaller than 50mm in diameter.

It is a time to give thanks for the abundance of the harvest and to prepare for the upcoming winter months. During Mabon, Pagans often engage in rituals that involve the sharing of food, the gathering of fruits and vegetables, and the creation of altars that display autumnal symbols and offerings. It is a time for reflection, gratitude, and finding balance in one's life. Apart from these major holidays, various Pagan traditions also celebrate specific events in October, such as the Norse holiday of Winter Nights or Old Norse: Vetrnætr, which marks the arrival of winter and the preparation for the cold months ahead. Additionally, there are numerous local and regional celebrations and festivals that honor Pagan traditions and beliefs throughout October. Overall, the month of October holds great significance for many Pagans, as it represents important transitions, cycles, and connections with the spiritual realm. Through various rituals, gatherings, and celebrations, Pagans commemorate their connection with nature, ancestors, and the divine forces that govern the natural world..
