Camera under 300 $

Well the GH5 has good slow motion compared to other cameras. A guy in his blog even said it's the best camera for slow motion. That's why I wouldn't buy anything but a gh5. But if you say a cheap lens would waste the video quality, then I have to find a expensive one for cheap. I also have to get an idea of how much is expensive and how much is cheap when talking about lenses. And I have to know what are the good ones.
If I can afford one I will buy it and buy the gh5, otherwise I won't buy anything and I will wait until something great and affordable comes out. And if nothing affordable ever comes out, then I'm better of not becoming a cameraman, and continuing stealing other people's work to illustrate my music. Even with a camera I would probably use other people's work anyway, because I can't travel back in time, can't really travel to other places just to shoot, can't hire actors except a few friends, and more importantly I refuse to be limited artistically by some copyright considerations.
How about this one ? I don't even know if it fits the gh5, but the guy says its condition is as new and sells it for 500 instead of 850€ : https://www.leboncoin.fr/vi/1689772125.htm/

I certainly wouldn't like a bad result like that : The image has some distortion and it's blurry : https://vimeo.com/184142217 ( Also the cameraman is shaking)

What is the cheapest nice single focus anamorphic lens for the gh5 ?

Google is your friend, Marty. What I suspect is that you've added a zero to your initial budget.

Google is an rogue American company that needs to be heavily taxed as our beloved and inspired president Macron said 🇫🇷 💖

Yes I've been looking a lot but haven't found a clear answer yet.

Let say I'm considering the "ask daddy for some money option" 🐱 But before that I wan't to make sure I'm buying the right stuff. At that price there's no room for mistake.

There are many search engines, Marty.

That said, politics don't sit well with our moderators. Sticking to your own topic is appreciated.

Yes but it's not like there is a centralized and detailed comparison of each single focus lens usable with the gh5.
I don't mind artifacts and little defects on the anamorphic lenses, flares and strong light burst, those are part of the style that these lenses bring. But I don't want some bad blur and bad distortion. I don't mind if the image looks a bit dirty, but I want to avoid motion sickness and such.

It's funny to have artifacts. I'm also thinking about buying an old analog camera. I think this Russian guy uses one for his sketches, you'd really think it was shot in Russia in 1989. Looks pretty cool :)
