Anamorphic DVX lens for Canon

[VinceRocca]

RELISTED

I'm selling my Anamorphic lens for the DVX 100. people are putting it on the Canon 5D to get a 2:35-1 widescreen.

We used this lens to shoot Kisses and Caroms which came out through Warner Bros. So maybe it'll bring the next user the same luck.

FOr others' info, it'll work on anything with a 72mm filter thread including our venerable Canon XL1 & XL1s's to provide an uncropped 16:9 image (it'll need to be unanimorphisized once it's imported) and on the XL2, DVX to provide up to a 2.35:1 (Cinemascope) if the camera is already in 16:9 mode - in fact, the HD versions of these cameras use a 72mm thread as well - so even better super widescreen.

I've had the opportunity to play with one (oakstreetphotovideo stopped by on his way through MN once) and it's a great image on my XL1s.

The optics look a little dirty, is that just dust or is there pitting at all on the front element?

Dust.

Okay, I relisted it for $500.
