SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x – 65 w/ Gears & new MicroPrime 18mm T2.8 – IBC 2018
SLR Magic have announced a new Sony E-mount full-frame MicroPrime 18mm T2.8 lens as well as showing a clever collabaration with PD Movie and the Fujinon MK zooms when using the SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x – 65 adapter.
The problem with front mounted anamorphic adapters is you need to focus both the adapter and the lens. This is time consuming and far from ideal. By teaming up with PD Movie they have come up with a cleverr solution so that can focus both the adapter and the the lens at the same time.
The anamorphic adaptor is optimised for the Fujinon MK zoom range of lenses but is also compatible with other lenses that have an 82mm front filter thread.
SLR Magic make a number of anamorphic prime lenses but no zoom anamorphic lenses so they aimed to create an adaptor for the Fujinon MK zoom lenses. The adaptor works through-out the range of the MK 50-135 but only from 30mm on the MK 18-55. While it is optimised for the Fujinon MK lenses, the adaptor can work with other lenses as long as the front glass element is no larger than 65mm like SLR Magic’s MicroPrimes.
Unlike a cropped “anamorphic” image obtained with a spherical lens, this adapter enables you to utilize the total area of your camera’s sensor.
The SLR Magic MicroPrime 18mm T2.8 is a manual focus only lens that has a minumum focus didtance of 17cm. It has 0.8 pitch gears which makes it suitable for use with manual and electronic follow focus systems. The lens is compact and eigh sin at just 580g (20.45oz).

Reviews for "The Future of DJing: DJ Magic Matt's Predictions and Innovations"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - "I attended a DJ Magic Matt's show last weekend, and I was pretty disappointed. The transitions between songs were not smooth at all, and it felt like he was just randomly playing songs without any thought. The music selection was also questionable, as he played a lot of outdated and overplayed tracks. Overall, I don't think his DJ skills were up to par, and I wouldn't recommend seeing him live."
2. John - 1 star - "DJ Magic Matt was a complete letdown. His performance lacked energy and passion, and it felt like he was just going through the motions. The mix of song choices was terrible, and he didn't seem to have a good understanding of reading the crowd. Additionally, his equipment malfunctioned multiple times during the set, causing awkward pauses and disruptions to the flow of the music. I was thoroughly unimpressed and would advise others to save their money and find a different DJ."
3. Emily - 2 stars - "I had high expectations for DJ Magic Matt after hearing good things about him, but unfortunately, he didn't live up to the hype. His mixing skills were average at best, and he seemed to struggle with beatmatching throughout the show. The song transitions were often abrupt and jarring, taking away from the overall experience. While he did have some decent song choices, they were overshadowed by the lackluster execution. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and wouldn't recommend his performances."
