The 60mm telephoto lens comes with a hard, magnetic lens cap while the 1.33x anamorphic lens comes with a square rubber lens cap for protection. Both lenses in the Videography Kit have solid metal bodies with a very smooth finish.

If you're not too bothered about shooting ultra-widescreen footage, the 60mm telephoto lens will enable you to get twice as close to your subject without changing the proportions. The downside to it is that you will need one of the best video editing software packages such as Adobe Premiere Pro or Apple's Final Cut Pro in order to de-squeeze the footage and view it normally, but don't worry – the process is pretty simple and there are plenty of YouTube videos that can help. This is mostly due to the fact that it produces an effect you simply can't create in-camera, such as horizontal anamorphic lens flares and enabling you to shoot in a wider 21:9 aspect ratio. ![]() The ShiftCam Videography ProLens Kit 60mm lens (Image credit: Hannah Rooke) ShiftCam Videography ProLens Kit: Key Featuresīoth the 1.33x anamorphic lens and the 60mm telephoto lens have their place when creating cinematic video, but the anamorphic is definitely the more exciting addition.
