Is the Anamorphot 40 a better choice than Sirui's 50mm T2.9 or the Great Joy 35mm? Can it compete with $9K anamorphic lenses like the Atlas Orion series? I took a deep look at the power, quirks, and shortcomings of SLR Magic's Anamorphot 40, arguably the cheapest quality-oriented option for going anamorphic and asked, "is it a professional tool or a toy?" It turned out to be a very complicated question, so I've included a ton of test footage and examples.
If you want to learn more about anamorphic lenses-- especially those that cost under ten grand, you have to check out Tito Ferradans KZitem channel, Anamorphic on a Budget.
