A variable diopter is a very old lens design.  Modern lenses are designed differently and do not need such an optical design due to cost and avoidance of additional glass elements.  This is a logical and correct solution to the dual focus nature of the simple anamorphic system.  I want two.

The rangefinder does flare easily.  This requires a box.  With the focus gear up front how would focusing be accomplished mechanically ?  I suspect a follow focus device is required.  Andrew, have you tried it with a matte box ?  What issues do you see ?

Andrew Chan, please take my money...
