I looked into this technique after I stumbled upon an anamorphic projection lens at a local antique store several months ago. (I didn't buy it, but looked at it and realized it was something "out of the ordinary"). Googling, I found this technique.
I'm pretty sure the lens was still there the last time I was in there. If memory serves, it was priced at about $90. It just didn't interest me that much at the time. It is a long and heavy lens, but I have to admit that the Geek Factor alone makes the concept appealing go me. I doubt that I will ever see another lens like that locally for under a $100 (and who knows, they may accept a lot less).
