 Spent the day experimenting with anamorphic lenses to figure out how much resolution you can actually squeeze out of them with digital sensors.

Tl;dr: The theory is pretty simple and actually works in practice, but almost every discussion of it on the Internet gets it wrong.

 I feel like I'm the only person on the Internet who took geometry in high school.

 @f1c6c5c3  Can you please expand on your anamorphic lens findings? Sounds like using lower bandwidth/resolution can deliver comparable results to high BW/res. Do your results suggest a 3G solution for 6G effect?
