I can't understand deleting it.
It's the equivalent of dropping a nuke on a Stadium filled with vintage photo...

Oh wait, the reason is having shallower DOF on anamorph? Because it works effectively as a longer FL?

I get the 1.3 (possibly more against cropping) gain in EV. I get the naturally wide FOV.
What I don't get completely is why is it worth the extra effort/gear when compared to shooting wide, to...

Thanks for the entertainment folks.
Really appreciated it.

Yes but mostly on the chrominance front or it wouldn't work well for mid-tones and subdued ones.

Too distracting and not useable for mid-tones. I do believe an adaptative solution is a good idea though.

Too distracting and not good for mid-tones. I do believe an adaptative coloring solution would be better though, as long as it isn't changing too fast in real-time.

That was my immediate thought but it would become too distracting. You are right about the computational cost though. It's trivial.

Absolutely, I was about to say the same.
This is trivial to implement by examining the live histogram. The color wouldn't need to change every second either, it could average out the last 1-2s of...
