Thanks, everyone. You have unwittingly aided me in making my first anamorphic lens purchase! Mwahahaha!

I don't know why it has been so difficult to find an answer to this... maybe I just can't find the right combination of search words. 1) What is the f= number etched into the lens housing? I've seen f=65mm, 2.65in... or f=75mm, 2.95in. What is that f= number referring to? 2) Does a larger number equate to a larger rear opening, and a small number equate to a smaller rear opening? 3) Does the number also determine a larger or smaller size for the front opening? Seems an important bit of information to have when trying to determine what size taking lenses I'll be able to use. Without an Isco in hand, just looking at photos and descriptions on Ebay, it's been impossible to figure out the sizes of different parts of the lens to know what I'll be working with and how other parts of the setup will match up.
