Very very rare anamorphic lens

[ivandamme]

Hi all, I found this lens. Actually I have no idea what year will, or the quality of their lenses.

Do not know if it will be worth to have it and try to adapt it to my camera. I have a t4i

 

These data are anamorphic lens:

 

Variable Hilux Projector Lens 102 Anamorphic Snaplite

Comes with lens Snaplite marked: Kollmorgen Optical Corp. Brooklyn NY / 6.25 in # 20064

 

attached some pictures and I hope your answer. Greetings to everyone!

There were some of these on ebay a while ago, sold cheap. It's a monster, in terms of size and weight, and I DEFINITELY believe wouldn't be adequate to put this in front of any camera smaller than a refrigerator. Taking from the link below, it weights aprox 8kg (16 pounds).

The squeeze comes from two mirrors/prisms, which are not a good way of "anamorphizing" (?) anything. :(
