Created by Tito Ferradans of the Anamorphic on a Budget YouTube Channel, the "Lens-yclopedia" is a community-built library of anamorphic lenses, adapters, diopters, and focusers. According to the anamorphic guru himself, the project has been in the making for several years and is now ready for the community to participate.
But why is such a platform necessary, and what does it offer to the everyday creative? Well, let’s start with a video from Ferradans himself.
A Library of Anamorphic Glass
At its core, the Lens-yclopedia is a database of different anamorphic lenses, adapters, and the accessories that make them function. On the surface, it may just seem like a collection of different lenses, old and new, but when you dig deeper, Ferradans has created something truly useful for creatives.
