โShould I Shoot Grids?
Even when people shoot good grids , unfortunately they rarely correspond to actual shooting distances. Due to the nature of anamorphics (see the section about anamorphic distance), the distortion changes with actual distance and with focus distance, which may change during a shot. Lens grids at the typical
shooting distances are impractically large. Furthermore, with a non-zero anamorphic distance, no single grid is correct.
As a result, grids probably arenโt as helpful as weโd like. A grid may be OK as a fallback, or reference, or for comparatively good lenses, but itโs probably not the answer for complex legacy lenses. We canโt tell you not to shoot them, but we can tell you not to rely on them.
