In 1973 I mounted an anamorphic 2 x 1 lens on the front of my Pentax
35mm camera as an experiment, took some slides, then stuffed them away in the closet. Just pulled them out and scanned them in and with photopaint expanded them out to 2 x 1 then put them on the timeline set for HDV rendering. They were outstanding and now I wonder why we can't take the newer 16 x 9 anamorphic adapters and mount them on a 4 or 5 meg digital still camera then download them right to the Vegas timeline set for 720 x 30p and wallah! render to HDV and I have my HDV slide show. Would have to use at least 2000 x 2000 pixels. The anamorphic adapter would cost as much as the camera but you wouldn't get any top and bottom cropping. Just a thought.
