How I mount diopters to the LA7200.

Here’s an example of the cheap +1 Cokin P diopter in the cinetactics Matteblox. It is a velcro mounting system, so the adapter is mounted in velcro and can firmly attach close to the lens. There is no possible chance of this falling out accidentally.

Guess the camera!

One camera is a Hacked GH1 at 100mb, the other is a GH2. One camera is cropped to 2:35.1, the other actually has the anamorphic lens. They are mixed almost exactly 50/50

GH1 vs GH2 low light anamorphic comparison

Here’s a quick little vlog testing the differences between the GH1 and GH2 (exact same settings) at ISO 1600 and 3200 respectively.

The GH2 has come quite a ways forward from the GH1 in terms of processing high ISO video.

LA7200 anamorphic lens tutorial series #1

Here is the first video in a new series of tutorials for the Panasonic LA7200G anamorphic adapter. We’ll be diving into its flaws at multiple focal lengths and apertures.

This first video focuses on the 14-140 lens and using the adapter wide open from 17mm to 70mm

Thanks to the youtube “Original” quality mode, you can now enjoy anamorphic videos like the one below in super high resolution, higher than any other online streaming site. While the quality is not as good as looking at the raw files, it certainly makes for a whole new online viewing experience.

This video was shot during the testing of our LA7200 adapter in preparation for a new anamorphic lens tutorial series.
