Starting at only $600,
I've listed a very rare and collectible Panavision Anamorphic lens on eBay, and included a (quick and rough) video demonstration of its use with the GH1 on the listing page.
This is a true American Classic. I am amazed that a piece of engineering that old still works so well -- its a testament to the quality with which these tools were made. How many of our Lumix or Canon Kit Lenses will be usable in 60 years?
This lens has variable anamorphic squeeze from 0 to 2x with the turn of a knob -- very cool feature. Also requires no focusing, just focus your taking lens and shoot !

This is a very unique piece of Hollywood history, over 50+ years old and works like the day it was made. Heavy duty, weighs over 20 lbs. Very clean. Come check it out. Also, see my other listings for a smaller, portable Anamorphic lens that would pair great with FD or EF lenses. You will need to do some tinkering to get either of these lenses to adapt to a DSLR mount, but it's not hard, the hardware is there and it's worth the effort for this great glass.
Thanks!
