It's rare for an adapter to surprise me, and the Anamorph-X 1.33x Pro from Letus achieved that. It allows you to go super wide and it holds up image quality like very few other adapters out there.
Flares could be improved, but as these are still being made, we can just email Letus a bunch and get things changed - which is another great advantage of this lens over vintage adapters.
What do you think of the footage and the results?

That's not a "bug", it's how that particular method for focusing anamorphics works. It's how the original cinemascope lenses, by Henri Chrétien, worked. It makes for lighter designs a lot of the time, and less glass elements, but has the downside of lowering your squeeze factor as you focus closer.
It happens with ALL double focus systems. 🙂
 

I don't like being unfriendly, but the anamorphic store is the pinnacle of everything that is wrong in the scope and diy world. I'd stay away from this dude for as long as possible.
As for larger scopes, I've seen lots of good stuff coming from them, the issue is what kind of rig do you work with to support it.

There was a recent reaction video that @Tito Ferradans posted, reacting to a video about anamorphic lenses that was published on another YT channel.  Apart from fact-checking the other video, almost to death considering that it got a lot of information wrong about anamorphic lenses, Tito also mentioned that the other video had used shots from his video without permission, and that he went through the process to have it taken down as they used his content without his permission.
So I think you're meant to get permission, regardless of the circumstances, and if you don't then you leave yourself open to take-down requests.  I've heard instances where people had their own content taken-down by other people who claimed their content as their own, and the mechanisms seemed to be skewed towards taking the content down, instead of leaving it up by default.
Also, considering I mentioned Tito and anamorphics, go watch his channel - it's awesome!

Hey enny,
 
He means that, even if the taking lens is at f/2 (aperture), the image with the anamorphic is razor sharp. :)

Hey y'all! After a long time playing and testing, I made a flowchart that guides you through the process of buying scopes. This is mainly aimed at beginners, but I'm hoping it can at least be fun for experienced shooters too. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

you da man, Tito !
some of these reviewers are lucky, they can tell the front from back of the lens.  Ok maybe i'm exaggerating slightly but not by much.

His note is not only about diopters, but the oval disks and anamorfakes. If you want more info on how to recreate the anamorphic look without anamorphic glass, I wrote an entire guide about it.

Hey guys, I started livestreaming on my channel - anamorphic on a budget, you're not familiar - and I'm doing a Helios 44 anamorfake next Wednesday at 11:30am PST. I'm giving away the resulting mod at the end of the process to someone in the stream, so there's a chance you can walk away with a fresh lens on the way.
 I'd love to see a bunch of you there. I'm answering questions there too, so if you got something to ask, that's a good chance!

So mine arrived. I love how small and light it is. Haven't had the chance to go out in the streets with it, but will this week. One thing it is definitely not is a Kowa! I picked up one of Tito's oval disks to see how that helps. First initial thoughts are that I love how light and small it is. Ease of use is the strong point. Anamorphic character is not really there in my limited time with it, but I think we all kind of know that. I'm hoping taking it into the world opens up my senses for the possibilities. I feel if I can Tito-fake this into giving me that anamorphic vibe with disks, diopters and bpm, it's worth having for size and ease. More later ...

I'm trying to shoot my tests with the rehoused Helios today so I can put the video up next weekend! Subscribe to the channel if you haven't yet!

Right on point, my friend.

I'm a big advocate of faking it. Get a spare samyang set and install fakes on all the lenses. Done, focus super quick, big aperture, sharp images. Works fine with gimbals. Boom.
Another option is to get the Sirui 50/1.8 and be creative about simulating other focal lengths with it. I have a video about the subject coming up in a few weeks.

I got one coming in tomorrow and a review coming up soon-ish.

If you really need those 180fps just anamorfake. You can intercut slomo "faked" with real 2x anamorphic as @Tito Ferradans just do. 

There needs to be an FAQ to the chart 😄 I got to "Are you ready for the hassle of shooting scope?" and I have no idea what "shooting scope" means 😄 
 
I'm just half-joking, this is so well done man!
