Wow what a huge beast, but the results are amazingly good! I had
posted a few picture here using a german anamorphotic lens, a ISCO
made ISCORAMA which has a built in 2.8/50mm lens.

Here some nicer shots using that lens:

and some shot at night (balloon festival)

That ISCORAMA also allows to rotate the axis of compression, so also vertical shots are possible:

That lens type got quite forgotten for many years, when with the upcoming film abilities of
modern DSLRs and the Panasonic GH1 etc. amateur filmers re-discovered that lens.
I had mine for many years already and used them from time to time for one-shot panos.
