eBay: Anamorphic Attachment for Cheap Cinemascope testing

[Dan Kanes]

If you are looking to experiment with cinemascope 2x squeeze front elements on stills or other lenses give my Bausch and Lomb attachment a try:

the rear threads are around 65mm. This puppy should give you gnarly flares and anamorphic artifacting. This is for the the DIY crowd looking to experiment. Thanks for looking!

sounds cool :) can you tell me how to use it though?

Ha! I have the same one- its extremely sharp, almost like looking through air when you peek down the barrell. It would probably be best for a telephoto modification as the close focus isnt so good (with out using diopters).

@Brandon:

you can attach this to the front of a spherical lens and shoot through it to create an anamorphically squeezed image.

Theoretically if you have a lens technician who wants to experiment you could have this custom integrated with a prime or zoom lens to make a custom anamorphic. I can't make any guarantees on how well this would work but I think it is certainly quite possible.
