The KIPON BAVEYES LPL > LPL 1.65x Rear Anamorphic Adapter is engineered to bring out the best in ARRI Signature Prime lenses by vertically stretching the image by 1.65x, achieving a captivating widescreen aesthetic. Designed with the essence of a front anamorphic lens, it delivers a sharp central focus with a gradual falloff in sharpness toward the edges, creating a balanced, natural cinematic effect.
Crafted with five cylindrical lenses, this innovative optical design allows a slight, intentional distortion to emulate the authentic anamorphic look filmmakers love, enhancing the immersive quality of each shot. The adapter is compatible with LPL mount lenses up to 16.5mm depth (from the LPL flange) and supports a maximum T-stop of T2.8, accommodating large sensor sizes up to 44.8mm diagonally, like those of the ALEXA LF.
With a light transmission reduction of just 1.25 stops, this adapter preserves excellent brightness and detail while providing an integrated electronic interface for ARRI’s Lens Data System (LDS). This allows smooth communication between the camera and lens, ensuring precise lens data for an enhanced workflow and a true anamorphic experience.
The optical design consisting of 5 lenses in 5 groups uses high refractive index and low dispersion glass and has been optimized for maximum contrast transmission and minimum aberrations with state-of-the-art optical design software. Tolerance and stray light analysis by special software, avoids ghosting and reflections already at the design stage and ensures maximum imaging performance.
