Stoked to announce!

Vintage by Hawkeye, a reputable used film camera online store, has partnered with lens company Vormax to bring you the best in anamorphic adapters. The CEO and CTO of Vormaxlens, Maxim Voronin, is a photographer and amateur videographer who approaches photography from a technical point of view. He has designed and manufactured anamorphic adapters, Petzval lenses, focal reducers (speed boosters), auto-extenders, threaded teleconverters, wide nozzles, periscopes, and monocles for any format and system of photo and video shooting. Voronin's lenses are all handcrafted, and he can even create custom designs upon request.

The LUXanamorphic adapter is Vormax's top-of-the-line adapter, compatible with all formats and cameras. It's perfect for fixed 28mm lenses on full-frame cameras and even works with Mir-1 37mm, Mir-24 35mm, and Canon 40mm 2.8 lens, with no vignetting on crop sensors of 1.6 and 1.5, and micro 4/3, 16 mm sensors with a focal length of 14mm. The adapter is encased in metal and uses glass optics with multi-illumination, producing a classic white-cyan flare that's sure to impress. It has a diameter of 95mm thread for the light filter, with a mounting diameter thread of 67/72mm (available upon order). Attaching the adapter is easy; you can attach it directly to the taking lens or use Vormax's special clamping device (clamp) to align the adapter horizontally.

The Compact 1.25x rev.5 is another option, encased in metal with glass optics and has a compression ratio of about 1.25x. The adapter has a diameter of 77mm and is suitable for APS-C and MFT crop cameras. It can even work with autofocus! For the best results, Vormax recommends using the LUXanamorphic adapter on cameras with a crop factor of 1.5 or 2 (APS-C or MFT) and lenses with a focal length of 14mm to 50mm. To achieve maximum sharpness, focus at a distance of 10 – 20 meters, with a focus range of 20mm to 50mm. If you need to shoot closer, use diopters +0.3/+0.5 or clamp the diaphragm of the taking lens.

Both adapters are perfect for cinematography and photography, and their handcrafted designs make them even more special. Don't miss out on the opportunity to take your photography and cinematography to the next level with Vormax's anamorphic adapters.
