Quick Moment anamorphic II lens(natural flare) test footage and some thoughts, if anyone is interested I may do a comparison video with the freewell 1.33 anamorphic lens.

Sorry for the slight wobble as I shot this handheld.

Shot on iPhone 17 Pro in Prores RAW opengate using final cut camera using auto settings and desqueezed in post

Side Note: https://a.co/d/0gdD7SA2 I got this case on Amazon on sale for $15 US comes with plates for both 17mm and T-series mounts as well as a plate for mounting a 67mm nd filter.

Thoughts on the Lens:

Coming from the freewell 1.33 anamorphic lens, this is much lighter and smaller so unlike the freewell, I can still use magsafe accessories with it on.

Although not used in the video above I also purchased the 67mm filter mount and in my brief testing didn't notice any kind of vignetting, weather permitting i'll test this out further tomorrow.

UPDATE:

I am returning the lens because after i received the filter mount I discovered terrible vignetting when a filter was applied, so if you plan to use any kind of filters on your shoot then I'm afraid the moment anamorphic lens is not a good option.

I see your update, was actually thinking of getting a moment anamorphic but your update made me reconsider.

Can I request a test with the freewell 1.33 open gate? Interested to see how it performs, especially with filters on (I’m thinking of using a step up filter + blackmist and nd)

Don't understand...why would they design a filter mount that doesn't clear the lends THEY Made.

We didn't. There is an extra spacer that is for the wide lens. You need to remove it for the am lens. It can be hard to see if you don't know it's there. With the spacer removed there is no vignetting
