The smart 1.3x squeeze offers an array of benefits and options. With large 24x36 mm sensors, for example, 1.3x produces the increasingly popular aspect ratio of 2:1 while making full use of the sensor’s area and resolution. A slight top / bottom crop produces widescreen ratios like 2.4:1. Meanwhile, an ingenious patented Iris Shaping System produces bokeh similar to that of a 2x squeeze for classic anamorphic flavor.
