Hi,
as this lens is very long, I assume that it's a complete projection lens (and not "only" an attachment). So it wouldn't fit a Super8-projector. Even if it's an attachment (e.g. that's screwed into a projection lens on your pictures) and fits a Super8-projector, my guess is that it's minimum focus-distance is at least 10m...
Using Google with "Kowa Anamorphic 35", I found an ebay-auction with a "Kowa Prominar Inflight Anamorphic 35 1.5x Lens". This lens is listed in the Super8wiki: http://super8wiki.com/index.php/Anamorphic_Lenses . However searching for "Kowa 35" on that page, I also found a "Kowa PA-35 (In-Flight)" (with "PA" most likely being the abbreviation for "Prominar Anamorphic")... And both lenses might only be marked "Kowa Anamorphic 35" on the lens. So "your" Kowa might have a squeeze-factor of "only" 1.5x or 1.75x!
