Hi Eric,

If you are using a 2X anamorphic lens on the super-16 format, 1:1,66, you
will get  a format of 1:3.32. The cinemascope format is 1:2.35 (Panavision
1:2,40)

A better solution is to use a 1.33 X anamorphic lens made for DV video
cameras to change the 4:3 picture to a 16:9 anamorphic picture.
If you use this on super-16 1:1.66 you will end up with a picture ratio
aspect of 1:2,20. 

Both OpTex and Century Optics is making those anamorphic lenses, but one
problem can be to find a lens large enough to cover the front element of the
zoom lens.
