I thought I'd start an anamorphic lens topic for any AVS Forum members browsing around or anyone else interested in the topic.
First off, here's a link to Tor Arne's site describing in great detail his construction of an anamorphic lens (several actually):

For you German speakers, here's a link to the site that did the original R&D on the lens:
http://ww2.bepo.com/jochen/anamorph/
I think there's a link there to the German discussion forum where the original ideas were hashed out. Sorry, I don' t have it handy and don't speak German well enough to find it.
There's also some interesting info on prisms and anamorphic lenses here:

We've been moderated out of existence on the AVS Forums so I'm hoping some of the other 'rejects' from there will come over here and we can get a good discussion going.
