just set on manual mode and focus to infinity...  a little scotch tape can block the focus ring if necessary

Thanks Panny, yes the less I do modification in post, the more I feel good  And yes I put infinity on the prime lens and focusing with the focus module. The very closed shots are taken with a + 3 diopter.

Here is a movie taking during the past month in different places such as :
Oléron island (French atlantic coast), Biarritz (French atlantic coast) and Croatia
camera : Panasonic DMC-LX100 on tele zoom position
3:2 4K 25p photo mode exported in UHD
baby Hypergonar anamorphic 1.75x lens
SLR Magic Rangefinder focus system
no color correction - slight levels correction
-5 personnal color settings - Howa ND 32 filter and sometimes added with low prices 4x and 8x ND filters
music : Mark Pritchard - Beautiful People (feat. Thom Yorke)
Trumpets of Consciousness - Never Again
L'Impératrice — Parfum Thérémine
Goran Bare i Majke - Teške boje unplugged
Thanks to Céline, Anne, her daugher, and Antun

I'm happy having managed building a system for using my baby anamorphic on a 4K compact camera. I used an accessory tube made for the Canon G7 and managed to screw it on the bayonet system of the LX100. then I screwed another tube on it to allowed the zoom going at it's end of it's range (84mm in 4K, because it's vignetting below), then the Redstan clamp for my baby Hypergonar, and finally the SLRMagic Rangefinder focus system, and here we go !
For me the result is very promising ! What do you think ? 
camera : Panasonic DMC-LX100 on tele zoom position (84mm) always at it's full aperture (f2.8 in tele position)
3:2 4K 25p photo mode exported in UHD
baby Hypergonar anamorphic 1.75x lens
SLR Magic Rangefinder focus system
no color correction except slight upper whites on 3 clips
-5 personnal color settings
Howa ND 32 filter
music : The Cure

This tube is compatible more or less with the bayonet system attachment of the LX100, so I can fix the system on the camera with care, much better than fixing it on the fragile zoom...

I have been out shooting with the SLR Magic Rangefinder.
Key features:
It completely takes over focus from any prime lens Solves lens breathing (reduces to such low level it isn't noticeable) Adds cinema standard 240 degrees focus ring with FF gearing and hard stops Reduces minimum focus distance of all anamorphic lenses to 1m (even long-throw projector lenses) For those who shoot anamorphic especially this will be music to your ears. These shooters will also be familiar with diopters, which are used to correct aberrations and achieve very close focus. Effectively the SLR Magic Rangefinder is a variable diopter and thus a rather brilliant concept as it is capable of taking over focus from the taking lens entirely.

It is really sad that John has to resort to such bad business practices. It is also against the law. What he is saying is false, it is damaging and that is the very plain definition of libel.
That is the last I'm going to say about it because I don't want to wade in and blow it all out into a discussion... especially if there might be a law suit to follow. SLR Magic are really angry about what he is putting out onto social media. it isn't worthy of a discussion. We will SHOOT and not do politics on this forum, thanks for understanding.

Thanks for the footage as ever Seb!!
Will put it on the review along with my own footage which is now shot, just waiting to get clearance on the song I used on it, from a friend.
Curiously I found taping the focus at around 50ft on the prime & kowa gave me a sharper image than sticking it at infinity.
Probably because of the adapter (was using it on Speed Booster and infinity isn't aways right)
Decided to use a Helios 44M 58mm F2.0 and Zeiss Jena 80mm F1.8 (M42 mount) for the taking lenses. The Zeiss in particularly is a well suited one, it is really small for a fast 80mm, compared to the Zeiss 85mm F1.4 it is tiny.

Here is my first hands on with the SLR Magic Rangefinder

SLR Magic Rangefinder video stills from movie upcoming at the end of the day

the taking lens (LINOS MeVis-C 35mm f1.6 C-mount) is good with this combo from f5.6. The video was taken between f1.6 to f8. The baby Hypergonar is not the highest sharpest lens in the world  Apparently I'm happy with the Rangefinder, despite the results are a little under with duet diopters.

Looks good guys.
I have mine set up now with the Kowa 8Z 2x anamorphic and Helios 44M, the infamous russian 58mm F2.0. It is tack sharp at F5.6 and plenty of lovely anamorphic bokeh going on. Shooting 4:3 on the GH4.
