With this anamorphic lens from Moondog Labs, you can. The lens is a 1.33X anamorphic adapter, allowing you to get the same wide aspect ratio as Hollywood films without sacrificing image quality. That means a much wider viewpoint than the iPhone is otherwise capable of, giving you a truly cinematic look for video and stills.<\/p>\n<p>The lens is made from precision anodised aluminium and glass, allowing filmmakers to produce wide format films, with the same organic flares and distortions found in Hollywood feature films. It&#8217;s able to preserve the full resolution of your iPhone camera, while creating industry-standard 2.4:1 aspect ratio videos and full 16:9 stills. Installing the lens is easy, thanks to a dynamic clamping mechanism. When your lens isn&#8217;t in use, it can be kept safe in a sleek orange case and a microfibre storage bag.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='730' height='441' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l1HBK35qA0c?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve made your film, you use a simple desqueeze operation on your PC using free or paid software &#8211; like Final Cut Pro and Handbrake for video, or Photoshop or GIMP for stills. You can even use the Filmic Pro app on iPhone to create and publish videos entirely from your iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>Bentley famously used the very same Moondog Labs anamorphic lens to film their latest Intelligent Details short on an iPhone 6 Plus. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WFxo27NXOwM\">The film\u00a0itself<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PQmzuT0C8T4\">behind-the-scenes video<\/a> are on YouTube, if you&#8217;d like to see what the lens is capable of in the hands of a talented professional. The Sundance film <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/video\/imdb\/vi581480473\/?ref_=tt_ov_vi\">Tangerine<\/a>\u00a0is another great example &#8211; you won&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s been shot on an iPhone!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='730' height='441' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PQmzuT0C8T4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>What do you think &#8211; could you use an anamorphic lens for your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus?
