I received my Ulanzi 1.33x Anamorphic Lens yesterday. I’ve had the chance to test it out and... it’s not great.
As I kind of suspected, the footage it produces is very soft with a lot of distortion and aberrations. It is after all incredibly cheap for an anamorphic, so I wasn’t expecting too much.
My main problem with the lens is that it isn’t a 1.33x. When I dropped the footage into my NLE, I found it was really about a 1.2x, which makes trying to get an anamorphic look (in terms of field of view) all a bit pointless . However, it does flare quite nicely, producing vivid blue horizontal streaks when bright light sources are in the frame.
Overall, unless you’re after the distinctive flares, you’d be better off shooting with a good quality wide angle lens and letterboxing the footage in post.
Here’s a few example 4K shots:
