Forgive me if this has been discussed extensively before.
I have searched the forum, but found next to nothing.
Question: Has anyone contemplated using anamorphic lenses on REDs 16/9
sensor?
I do mostly commercial and feature work and I like the flaws and flares of the older anamorphic lenses.
It would fit especially well with the very clean image of the RED.
What kind of squeeze would be needed in post, would it be close x1,5?
Please fill me in, as my mathematical skills are somewhat limited.
Mr Mullen perhaps?

Yes to the first... about 2x for the second if I remember correctly.
