Sankor/Kowa Anamorphic Lens Discussion and Footage

Hi Guys,

I'm using a Canon 7D and a Nikon 50mm 1.4 (Adapter Canon->Nikon of course).

I would like to set up a anamorphic equipment.

What should I exactly buy to be able to make a nice anamorphic footage? Links were welcome.

Thank you.
 
Philip Bloom has a Kowa now!

My lenses came in today!

The Isco-Gottingen:

The Sankor

They are both clean, no scratches or fungus. I held up the lenses to my EX-1, as I don't have a DSLR yet.

The inside of the Sankor mount where the threads are seems to be about 4cm in diameter. On the Isco, it seems to be about 5cm. The Isco does have a little bending
on the threads though...it might be able to be bent out.

What exactly am I going to need to do for a step down/step up ring? What about a lens that the anamorphic glass will be attached to?

Thanks in advance!

I have a anamorphic music video to post. I shot this with my inflight kowa 35 1.5x. i think it turned out good. most of it was on the t2i and a small portion of the shots are just cropped 5d. I was really impressed by the way this lens handled barrel distortion compared to 8z I have... the difference between the two in that area is astounding. I plan on using this setup quite often as it was fairly easy to use. check it out.... http://vimeo.com/16335289 password is ceramicindian
 
so heres my setup. 5d or T2I (5D in pics) on the back for focus is the varivon angle viewfinder. Taking lens is a zeiss pentacon six 80mm 2.8 -screw on adapter (bought from vidlantic) then the kowa inflight 35 1.5X. on the front of that is a machined part (made by a friend) to use for diopter. theres a .5 diopter in the pic. then cheap mattebox with Schneider 4x4 ND inside. thats about it. For my t2i i use the same setup minus the varivon and substitute a nikon 50 1.4 for taking lens.
