Would this anamorphic work well with a Helios 44M on my GH2? It's a KOWA Anamorphic 35 Ultra MC 2/90MM

Opinions on this anamorphic lens?

Just did my own homework, sorry for the post. Looks like the MC (multi-coated) aren't good for creating that classic lens flare, as this is the MC model 
I have an Isco which works very well in GH2 with an old Minolta 50mm. But it's a little hard to operate.
Hmm, and this model particularly would work though? I can potentially pick this up for about $75 bucks.. Curious if it might be worth it?
Yea it works, just check with the vendor because you need the right adapters.
But I don't know about the glass quality of this specific model. Probably not very sharp. Cheap glass frequently give you very soft images - or worse, blurred.
I paid $450 on my Isco. It's not the best anamorphic on the earth, but it's decent. And sadly, I can't use it on Blackmagic EF lol. ;(
