HOW-TO: Anamorphic Lens on an EF-mount Canon (Need information)

[dubzeebass]

Hi folks,

I haven't seen any definitive guide on the internet on how to use an anamorphic lens on a Canon 5D Mark-whatever, and I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with resources so I can make a guide here.  Basically I'm interested in leveraging the entire sensor for 2.35:1 and squeezing in post, and I just can't find anything terribly useful - doubting I'm the only one, too.

I'd love to make this a repo... please help!

Tell me which anamorphic lens you are planning to use? If it is PL mount based Kowa anamorphic lens then you have to mod your 5d to allow PL lenses (http://cinemods.com/)

And no. You are not only the one... !
