Anamorphic lenses — anyone using them?

[Kyle76]

I just watched a video on anamorphic lenses to achieve cinematic effect. It was very impressive. Is anyone here using an anamorphic regularly? Any recommendations or tips would be fantastic. Here is the video:

The filter looks very interesting I agree.. I am a wide ange photo shooter most of the time so wide is a preference. I have seen these anamorphics offered but don't feel the implementation is 100% at the moment. Maybe too heavy, maybe too big maybe too expensive not fully proven good.If you make the jump post your impressions.

FlytPath reviewed an anamorphic from Ulanzi that wasn’t too impressive. This one actually looks much better, and not a bad price just to try. Moment lenses are generally very high-quality glass, but they’re not out with an MA2 anamorphic yet, and based on the prices of what they do have out, they won’t be cheap.
