Inspired by QuickHitRecord's excellent post, and this post here, I just acquired a Bell & Howell anamorphic projection lens like this one in very good condition. Does anyone out there own/use this lens? If so, which taking lenses do you find work best? Are you able to zoom through? I'm hoping to find details on how to modify to the front element to reduce the focus throw, and really any details to get the most out of this lens. Any pointers are greatly appreciated! If I can collect enough info to make modifications safely, I'd like to document the process and post it back to the forum in case anyone else may find it useful.
