Has anyone filmed using the super8 cinemascope Animex Cineavision S8/2x lens?

In our digitalisation services, we came across several of these films, recorded on super8 with this lens!

I have put a small sample of this scan on youtube (ofcourse with permission of the owner). See: https://youtu.be/rDKinhwd-UU

(after scanning we had to adjust the aspect ratio, to make it 2:1! (our scanners don't have anamorphic lenses))

No but I did use the Henri Cretien 1.75:1 compression (legally called Cinemascope) one for filming and projection. It gave a 2.33:1 picture if I recall correctly thus the odd compression factor.

That was a "reel" treat, and thank you! [Smile]

I did scope super 8 films way back in the late 80's myself, but I used a larger scope lense, actually, (at first) duct taped to the front of my super 8 camera!

I shot some Kodachrome 40 back in the 90's using the KOWA 8Z for camera and projector with nice results.

I think the subject matter and framing needs extra consideration when shooting scope and whoever shot that footage certainly used the scope frame to it's maximum advantage.

Thanks for sharing!

Amazing picture quality. Proof just how good S8 film can look. Sad that some of our movie titles look like someone stretched cellophane over the lens.
