Kowa Anamorphic Camera Lenses for Beautiful Cinematic Shots

When you want to shoot video in a format that you've never tried before, one of the Kowa anamorphic lenses in this collection might be just what you've been looking for. If you want to find the best deals and selection, shopping for used and new camera lenses on eBay is a good way to go. Here are some tips about these Kowa lenses to help you make a final decision.

What are the benefits of anamorphic lenses?

Anamorphic lenses allow you to capture widescreen images without wasting any film. Traditional widescreen lenses cut off quite a bit of the top and bottom of the film you're using, but anamorphic lenses stretch the vertical aspect of an image without affecting the horizontal aspect. This effect makes it so that the entire piece of film is covered with an image, and when it comes time to project your image on a screen, you'll use another type of lens to shrink the vertical aspect back down to size. While anamorphic lenses were originally designed to be used with film cameras, they can also be used with digital cameras, and this lens design pairs well with the high base ISO sensitivity of digital camera sensors.

Are there any accessories for these lenses?

Here are some accessories that are offered for these Kowa products:

• Lens caps: These caps cover the aperture of the lens, and they protect the sensitive glass on the front of the lens from damage that would otherwise be caused by dust, debris, or sharp objects. These lens caps are black, and they usually click into place.
• Rear caps: These caps cover the area of the lens where it makes contact with the camera body, and they ensure that no dust covers this important area while the lens is in storage.
• Lens cases: You can place your lens in one of these clear or black cases after you've covered it with both a lens cap and a rear cap to make sure that it stays protected.

How do you pick the right Kowa anamorphic lens?

The Kowa lenses in this eBay collection all serve relatively similar functions, so the main qualifier you'll need to consider as you pick out the right lens for your needs is the condition of the various lenses that are offered. While it might be possible to find a new lens, many of the lenses in this collection fall under the "gently used" category.
