I've seen some positive reviews of this anamorphic lense on some drone YouTube channels that I like. But I am hesitant to add yet another variable into the mix when I am such a beginner. For example I'm not sure how it'd interact with shooting in D-cinelike and whether I can seamlessly mix footage shot with and without the lense in a single project.
I did a shoot this past weekend with the Freewell Anamorphic lens. The only drawback I see is that quick motion with the camera quickly gets out of focus. You can see that when I'm flying low along the water and the trees get blurry as I turn. Any distortion at the edges is hard to detect. In post, I nudged saturation and contrast up to help the image. I feel like almost everything coming from the MA2 is a little flat, though.
Biggest challenge for me was that I'm new to post, so learning Davinci and trying to understand clip size, desqueeze and project size was difficult since it's not real well documented for Anamorphic lenses.
