I used them on a recent short in NYC shot on Red One. I quite liked them. The Director and I tested a set from Du All Camera against a set of S4s, Zeiss super speeds and Red Pro primes. We found, at least for this project, that the Elite Anamorphics performed as well as the other sets, matched well and had a look to them that was very appealing. Some stills from the shoot are up here: http://blog.localheropost.com/main/2009/10...ies-part-3.html We did run into minimal amounts of problems with the lenses sitting in the mount straight. Once one is aware of this though it is easy to look for and fix. Also they are quite heavy and large making the red look like a canon and a impractical for large amounts of handheld or shooting in extremely tight spaces. (We shot part of the film down the galley of big boat and ran into this issue) There was a little chromatic aberration on the 24mm and the 50mm was out for a tune up so I can only speak for the 35mm, 75mm & 135mm focal lengths but I would definitely use that set again. Hope this helps.
