My previous post was hidden for a week or so therefore I ended up buying a Kowa Prominar 16. However it seems to just be called a "16" which I couldnt find details on here. http://super8wiki.com/index.php/Anamorphic_Lenses Heres a photo of it from the ebay listing: You can see it just ends at 16 and I cant find any info on it. When it arrives I'll take some samples with it and let you all know what it ends up like. Thanks everyone :D

Hey All, I wanted to get advice on this projector lens here: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Schneider-Super-Cinelux-2x-Anamorphic-Lens-/282091164574?hash=item41adf1939e:g:eHYAAOSwhOVXfDaJ My concern is focus pulling, ive been researching and reading however I wanted to ask here to be sure. Is this one of those lenses that would need to be re-housed? Would it work if I just mounted it against my dslr lens? (either on a rig or using one of those front lens clamps) Going along with this one I found a cheaper lens that seems promising, however I'd love tto hear your opinions. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Kowa-Prominar-Anamorphic-16-S-Lens-/282088811848?hash=item41adcdad48:g:WmEAAOSwgY9XeXjk Im doing the common thing: trying to do genuine anamorphic for dirt cheap, so I'd rather get told that it's possible without a massive projector lens and a setup to go with it. I am likely asking the wrong questions so if you guys can help I would be really appreciative! -Jordan
