Hey guys! Thought I'd share a DIY approach for anamorphic shooters who can use a workaround/alternative to double-focusing. (If you've ever used an anamorphic setup, you know how cumbersome it is to focus two lenses.) I'm still refining the housing and plan to pretty things up a bit, but the approach is fairly basic, yet makes it MUCH easier to shoot with an anamorphic lens.
Essentially, you set focus on the anamorphic and taking lens, then rack focus by moving only the wide-angle adapter.
More information, images, and test video here:

Hope someone finds this helpful!
