This might sound stupid...
I've owned the Anamorphic adaptor twice now and I know it gives you a 30-33% wider image + an anamorphically squeezed image for the DVX to unsqueeze in post for a 16:9 image.
Is there a HUGE difference between that mentioned above and a Century Optics 0.7X wide angle lens with DVX in-camera squeeze? I know this particular lens also gives you a 30% wider image capture ability and with the DVX in-cam squeeze, it will also appear squeezed and unsqueezed in post for a 16:9 image.
What are the major differences? One anamorphic was stolen and the other I traded with someone. The reason why I ask is because I am receiving a Chrosziel mattebox soon which wasn't originally intended for a DVX and has a circular opening instead of a rectangular one for the anamorphic lens. I'm going to try to see if I can buy an adaptor plate/ring to fit the wide angle convertor (which I need to buy when I get the money) but I'm curious to see if the two above options are comparable in quality or wide capture capabilities...

That's the mattebox system I'm getting and I hope a wide angle convertor will fit this with an appropriate adaptor. If I use the camera squeeze mode, I may need to purchase the new Century LCD widescreen adaptor as well. Is the squeeze mode and letterbox mode basically the same thing? Same resolution right, with 33% of the image being chopped off in both modes?
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks a lot!
