Ok ok, don't get to excited but we have been given the green light from Alan to talk about Anamorphic lenses again! Thanks Alan!!! I never had a doubt for one second that this wasn't the best forum on earth!
This of course is much needed because in 2 to 3 years we may not even need anamorphic lenses. ha ha.
Yes, we can even talk about the potential new lens by Prismasonic a company in Helsinki Finland. If you want specific answers about their products and company you will have to ask them on their website's fourm. Why? cause they are the only ones that have one. Maybe someone here can get one to review but of coarse they aren't for sale yet.
I have asked a few questions on their forum and my initial impressions are "It ain't no ISCO II" It does have some drawbacks like... the lenses are plastic, no coatings, may need curved screen, light loss isn't their primary concern. The benefits seam to be it's cheap, adjustable, light weight and I think it may even work!
Anyway they say they are working on a new model that does vertical compression. Visit their site for more answers. Of course at this point nobody can say anything about the quality of the lens or prismasonic as a business (looks like they are just starting). Just remember 99% of the time "you get what you pay for."
Anyway, I hope for all of us involved in Home Theater, lots of anamorphic products will come onto the scene. They may even make our home theater experiences "just like the movies".
If you know of any other anamorphic miracle cures please post!
