    Default Does Lens Order matter?

    For example, if i want to shoot with an anamorphic lens

    is there a difference between

    Wide angle lens > anamorphic lens > video camera

    and

    Anamorphic lens > wide angle lens > video camera?

    Depending the size of each, but preferably the WA (bigger to avoid vignetting), the Anamorphic lens and the camcorder i'd say, just like they do with D/SLRs.
    I DO IT BECAUSE I CAN. I CAN BECAUSE I WANT TO. I WANT TO BECAUSE YOU SAID I COULDN'T.

    do you mean the WA has to be bigger than the anamorphic?

    Why are you wanting to use both an anamorphic lens and a wide angle? What anamorphic lens are you planning on using? I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to use a wide angle lens in front of an anamorphic lens.

    WA must be in front, otherwise you'll have horrible vignetting.

    And yes, the WA needs to be bigger than the ANA, otherwise you'll have horrible vignetting.

    I doubt you can find a workable combination, I suspect almost anything will give you horrible vignetting.
