Hello Ken, Thanks for your answer. I shot a year or so ago a little short (in one day.... uh...) and rented a Letus Anamorphic to try it and I didn't liked it at all. I don't see much point with 1.33 in terms of bokeh / perspective. Some serious CA in high contrast, lack of sharpness and the variable diopter didn't do what Letus website said he should. Some little flares, don't know what happen in post production but most of the flares went out after color correction... Wasn't avaible during post prod, my bad ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ovu5Ns8796s As for taking lens, any advices regarding coating ? MC taking lens might not be the best to use in conjuction with Iscorama ? Or it's just about flares ?

Hello guys, I've been reading you quite a lot for a year or so. I'm a junior DP based in Paris, and I'm just dying for anamorphic... like you guys ;). I would like to invest in some Iscorama 1.5 (need to decide between36 and 54 through)... My only concern is "Wide Angle". I absolutely need for my work a wide angle anamorphic, I used some vintage PL 2X KOWA by Rehoused PS Technik on Alexa Mini a month ago and the 40MM (2X) was just great, kinda weird / dreamy wide open was sharp when closed down and has some heavy barrel distortion that I could definitly live with. Was a cool setup but as a "junior DP" is not often that I can shoot with those kind of toys ! What's the widest field of view possible with a 1.5X Iscorama ? I know that Richard Gale at DSO has a wide angle attatchement, could it work ? It would be a very strange setup and stacking optics makes me a bit anxious... (reflexion, sharpness...) Would it be possible to mount this wide Angle Attatchement to an iscorama to match a "20-24mmish" spherical field of view (on full frame). Nothing beats an anamorphic wide shot to me (perspective wise !), I do often shoot in tiny appartement and set here in Paris. It's a must have for me. If you have any recommandation... I'm looking at a 3000-3500€ solution (adapter + wide angle). I'm mostly shooting in Super 35 (A7S, FS7) and using a speedbooster from time to time if Full Frame look is desirable. Taking lens will be old time Zeiss JENA Zebra. Thanks a lot. Regards Nathan
