Hi,
Any suggestions and experiences with YASHICA SCOPE ANAMORPHIC LENS 8mm 1.5x with GH1?
This anamorphic lens is very small, only 50mm length. Will it produce vignette or any other issues on GH1/2?
There are few video clips with this anamorphic lens with 550D, but no even one video with GH1/2.
So, if anyone uses this combination with GH1/2, please upload a video test.
Please for more detailed info.

(Also, if anamorphic lens 2x used, then the picture becomes ultra wide, so in this case how to achieve a picture with 2.35:1 ratio without objects stretched?)
Thanks in advance!
 
Well, someone could correct me if I'm wrong, but if it works fine on the 550D (which has a slightly larger sensor) it should work just fine on the GH1 or GH2, and if there was any vignetting issues, the GH2 has crop mode.

As for not having a stretched image, you have to do that in your Editor. Just set your project up in an anamorphic timeline and stretch the 1920x1080 footage out to fit the frame.
