I personally think the Sankor 16C is a great start into anamorphic. It has its own nice character about it, especially when paired up with a vintage taking lens. It's a decent price considering you're getting a hard-to-find Redstan clamp with it. I shot a cosplay music video with the Sankor 16C and Helios 44-2 58mm F2 as the taking lens on a hacked GH2 recently. You can watch it here: https://vimeo.com/126653167
