I use a GoPro for random shots both for content creation and like a dashcam for evidence during cycling. I only use Linear because I don't like the fisheye effect but it limits the field of view. When I saw the Anamorphic lens was finally available I wanted one so I could get wider angles without resorting to the wider settings. The additional "cinematic" feel is a nice addition for some content creation purposes too. In my initial testing I'm a bit indecisive of whether to stick with the base lens or keep using this. It does give a nice wide angle when using Ultra Linear but the overall footage is less sharp especially at the edges. A bit of warning, if the lens flare is what you're going for it looks better under Wide settings because the flare is straight but you deal with fisheye. If you go with Linear or Ultra Linear for unwarped footage the lens flare is curved. I'll keep testing but you really need to want it for the price of this lens.

I am a realtor and use this lens almost exclusively for my interior video shoots. I can open up the interior of any house without worry of the fisheye effect. It makes shooting scrunched places so much easier, and it looks amazing combined with cinematic camera work . I can even live with the soft edges, which are definitely present. Where else can you get this look without spending major cash? This is a win for gopro. Remember, this will ONLY fit a gopro 13. It's not compatible with any other model.
