A rig is not 100% necessary with an anamorphic lens of that size, all you would need is a clamp such as the Red Stan anamorphic clamp.  You really only need a rig when shooting with the larger anamorphic projector lenses.
 
If you're looking for a budget anamorphic lens I would recommend a Sankor.  I had one and loved it very much.  They are also small in size and can just be attached with a clamp.  Mine was sharp even with a wide open taking lens ( I also used Nikkor primes with it ) and it produces great blue flares if that's what you're looking for.

Hey all,
 
Haven't posted here in a little while but I thought I would share something I recently put together just for fun.
 
Might be helpful for anyone looking for some Sankor footage shot with Pre-AI Nikkors, a combination that I personally love.
 

If you can adapt a lens to Nikon mount, you can use it with the right adapter on the Speed Booster (with Nikon mount). Just think of it as giving your camera a new mount.
 
Of course the lens must have a image circle that is big enough. But I don't think there is any Nikon lens that has a image circle that's too small for the BMPCC + Speed Booster. Even with the BMPCC speed booster you still have a ~aps-c-crop.

yes you can use them with adapters on speedboosters as you have just described it will work

Yep, you can!

Hey all,
 
So I've finally gotten my hands on an Anamorphic lens (Sankor 16C), and made my first quick video with it, testing it out.  I absolutely love using it, I'm surprised how sharp it is when shooting wide open.  Focusing hasn't been an issue yet, it's pretty simple and straight forward.  I'm also impressed with how the image shoots at 50mm, 85mm is the recommended focal length for no vignetting on APS-C, but a few of the time lapses in my video are with the 50mm, and while the vignetting is visible, it is so slight.     
 
I shot a lot of time lapse, and anamorphic time lapse isn't something I've seen on here before so I thought I'd share it.  
 
Critiques are welcome, but I already know the handheld footage is shaky, hard to shoot handheld with a 85mm lens.  
 

Awesome video Chris!
 
Just makes me more excited to get my own.  Like you said, very usable, I think it all looked great.  I have a full set of pre-ai Nikkor primes, the lenses I'm most excited about trying it out with is my 85mm f1.8 and my 105mm f2.5.  They both look pretty good wide open so I'm interested in how they will perform with an anamorphic.
 
Thanks for the continued help and advice, Chris.
