I got mine for 180 euros... Aperture blades were broke, so I removed them. Plan to put a DIY oval aperture in it.

The look is good, in terms of sharpness and bokeh.

 

An option some people have been doing is to double down on these and put the 1.25x adapter from Sirui on the front to give you a 1.7x stretch. They are pretty cheap now at $275 and give you a bit more anamorphic mojo. I’m looking for one myself right now because they also make for a really cheap front VD if you remove some of the optics. There are some 3D printed mods floating around the interwebs.
