The reachable FOV depends on the adapter and the diameter of taking lens though. I'm using the Panasonic AG-LA7200 which has a 72/77mm Filter thread. On my 60D I can already use a Tokina 11-16 at about 14mm without vignetting. In my opinion it's the best anamorphic adapter, since it is been designed for modern videocameras and you can use it without any lensclamp. On the BMC the Tokina - along with the adapter - will probably provide the widest image you can get on the EF-mount Version.
Yeah, doesn't the LA7200 have a really big front element? My adapter is like 77mm on front and back. I think that may be the reason why I can't get wider.
Yes, you're right. It has a wide square front, which is the biggest advantage ... I tried various anamorphic adapters/projection lenses. Iscos, Kowas as well as Bausch & Lomb's. None of them have this wide FOV and sharpness ... And as it fits on almost every kind of lens I decided to go with this one.
