Re: Anamorphic lens

[Mark <super16acl@aol.com>]

Elmo made a very nice anamorphic adapter for its 16mm projectors. I have used 
it in front of the regular "flat" projection lens on a 35mm projector and it 
is quite sharp. And it certainly doesn't seem to vignette. It is a very 
good-looking piece of glass that might be worth experimenting with --- you'd 
need to create a coupler on a lathe to attach it to the front of your camera 
lens, and then use a "cradle" support underneath. My guess is that this lens 
would be sharper than a lens made for camcorders or still cameras. I've never 
shot with it, though. Perhaps they are now going for a good price on eBay.
