Wide angle anamorphotic lens found - useful?

[kds315]

I have located a wide angle anamorphotic lens 2/25mm and would like to have opinions about it.
It covers full frame, but is quite a monster of a lens due to that large image angle covered -
remember horizontally it is effectively a 17mm (or 12.5 if 2x - don't know yet for sure) lens.

DP opinions on usefulness please!!

THX, Klaus

I'd like to see if it covers a full frame sensor myself. Loved to see an image of the lens and one from the lens.

Guys, it was about the possible usefulness of that lens and what you think about it - not the lens itself.

Sure, that could be very useful. Coverage of a 2/25mm would be great... sounds like it might be 1.3 squeeze though if you're getting a 17mm equivalent. I'd take one so I'd have something wider that a 50mm in the anamorphic bag.

Is it MC? We tend to like the un-coated lenses so they flare up big.
