SLR Magic 2x Anamorphot-CINE 70mm T4 Review

The SLR Magic 2x Anamorphot-CINE 70mm T4 is an anamorphic adapter lens designed for Micro Four Thirds systems, offering filmmakers the characteristic widescreen anamorphic look at an accessible price point. At $699, it sits in the entry-level anamorphic segment, providing the 2x squeeze factor that delivers the coveted oval bokeh and horizontal lens flares associated with cinematic productions.

The 70mm focal length translates to a 140mm equivalent field of view on MFT sensors, making this a telephoto option in the anamorphic realm. The T4 maximum aperture is relatively slow, which will require adequate lighting in most shooting scenarios. This lens is aimed squarely at indie filmmakers, narrative content creators, and hobbyist cinematographers looking to experiment with anamorphic aesthetics without the investment typically required for true anamorphic glass. The SLR Magic brand has carved out a niche in budget-friendly specialty optics for the MFT platform.
