Thoughts on using anamorphic lens for photography

Hey everyone-

saw for the first time a few videos that popped up on YouTube feed about using an anamorphic lens for photography. The example they used was a 35mm lens and showing how much wider field it captures.

it almost looks like a 16x9 crop but definitely much wider perspective. The only thing that looked annoying is that the raw image is compressed and you need to use photoshop to change the resolution to the correct aspect ratio so it looks normal and not a squashed compressed image.

was wondering what people think of this approach?
