Jeroen, there are several kinds of anamorphic lenses, but it's not so clear what 'universal' means. The most common ones were produced to fit 16 mm projectors, but using due adaptors they can be used with 8 mm machines too. It depends of course on the price you want to afford.
I personally think the Sankors are pretty good, but I like also my Singer 16D. Even if I know some better ones and most expensive exist.

Jeroen, the support in the pictures is the right one for Elmos GS and ST. Consider that you should need the adapterring STA as well, depending on the rear barrel thread of the lens (there are several sizes).
Wittner don't provide any lens (sometimes they do, when they have used ones for sale). Derann and CHC, or Paul Foster, sometimes have too. Take a look at their sites.
