Anamorphic Adapters
4x3 to 16x9 direct
These adapters optically convert 4x3 directly to
16x9, so there is no need for post production
re-formatting. This saves time and money in
post production. The 20x26mm adapter pushfits onto the front of single-chip miniature 4x3
“lipstick”cameras. The small size enables
discrete use in sporting events e.g. tennis line
calls, cricket stumps, motor-bike helmets, in
racing cars etc.

10-100mm T2 Zooms
Due to the sad demise of Optex, Abakus now
directly supply the kit which allows you to
hard-mount your
existing Zeiss zoom lens
in a standard Arri PL
mount. This kit converts
the zoom lens to
Super-16, 12-120mm
T2.4. Replacement
zoom and iris scales are supplied as standard
with the kit. The advantages of the kit is that
the macro facility are still retained and
vignetting problems are eliminated.
