Will this mean the look of the bokeh be different from the taking lens?
I'm still somewhat confused as to how this actually works. Is there a large optical element ? Would it potentially cause extra optical issues, quality loss, sharpness issues etc?
There should only be breathing if the diopter system has breathing.
Right! It they can pull off an adapter that gives you the best parts of a CINE lens on any lens that should be pretty slick. The down side would be having the lens gears no the front of the lens, might not play nice with matte boxes ect ...
From what I understand about focusable anamorphic adapters, moving the adapter forwards or backwards relative to the camera (and moving or focusing the taking lens) is not a replacement for focusing the anamorphic adapter. http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/2659-turn-dual-focus-into-single-focus/
The SLR Magic Anamorphot adatper is a special case because it requires little or no focusing of the adapter.
P.s., I think you mean focus by wire. Because a lens is not an airplane. :)
