I should probably just get an ND fader, but I'm looking into other options too. With most cameras around base 800 ISO in log profiles, you'd need something like a 13 stop ND to shoot wide open on f1.4 lenses in broad daylight, or maybe my math is wrong. Anyway, absent an ND fader, that would normally mean 13 different ND filters. But I'm okay working in two-stop or even three-stop increments... What are the best affordable 10 stop NDs? Something like this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1500970-REG/haida_hd4501_72_72mm_nanopro_nd_filter.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrtme_o2x5gIVj4TICh20MwFMEAkYASABEgJU2fD_BwE ? And are any of these thin enough that you can stack filters? If I could stack 1, 2, or 3 stop filters on top of those three that would be all I need.... Also worried about stacking diffusion (or polarizers) on top of that, I might want to shoot with Classic Softs, which have very thick filter rings. Well now I see why people buy matte boxes. Or are there any really good ND faders? I worry about the polarization effects, still, even though I like most footage I see shot with them it concerns me still. -
I am not so sure about the Sirui effect. SLR magic was supposed to do that but didn't. But as soon as somone will make an affordable X2 lens, this market will indeed start shrinking I reckon. But greed (the good ol' "anamorphic lens are expensive to make") will probably stop people from going under the 1K bar before long. -

Indeed different ballpark, but nothing that can't be fixed (someone say oval inserts?). As for sales, most people are in this not because of the stretch factor, but to get cinemascope, and 1.33x will give you that. It's not like prices will drop like crazy overnight, but I expect them to slow down. -
@Tito Ferradans x1,33 is no x2. Two very different ballpark. The sirui is pretty nice but to many it's a glorified spherical lens with a flare set... A nice one. But anamorphic is more than flare, you know that very well. I am not sure people will stop buying the best projector lenses to get a sirui instead.
