View Full Version : Can the amount of vertical compression of a Panamorph be altered?

I left a message w/Panamorph asking this, but not sure when I'll hear back.

I want to end up with a 2.05 image, which is a 13% compression instead of 25%.

Is it as simple as tilting the lens?

If not, does anyone know understand the inner workings? My fantasy fulfilled would be that there are two prisms inside, and removing one would give just what I want.

See http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=15407919#post15407919 for why I want to do this.

Titling my UH380 changes the end geometry on my screen, not the expansion itself. I just went thru dialing in my lens due to adding my DIY Alum Plate Anamorphic lens slide (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=15394629#post15394629)
My understanding that is fixed in the inside optics.
As someone else said, you need the Prisamatic (sp), not the Panamorph.

OK, thanks for the info.
