I went to Amazon to look at the reviews. Unfortunately, this product wasn't very well-received by the customers who bothered to write a review. Most of them reported a blurry image--something I pointed out in the video here. Here are three tips to get the best quality out of this lens:
1. ALWAYS clean both the lens on the Osmo Pocket 3 AND the LS-44 lens. The anamorphic attachment adds two panes of coated glass on top of the Osmo's lens. If any of those aren't clean, you'll get blurry images.
2. NEVER stack any other lens or filter between the LS-44 and Osmo Pocket 3. The added panes of optics can really take down the image quality.
3. Use manual focus on the Osmo Pocket 3 in low-lit shots. The Pocket 3 seems to hunt (incorrectly) for focus with the LS-44 attached.
I posted a small sample video here of the focus on the LS-44. Note that this image was de-squeezed in Final Cut. No other processing took place. Blue is definitely present on the edges but center-frame looks nice and crisp. Take a look here: • LS 44 Blur Test
Finally, I think that Neewer should definitely take this feedback from the early users and make some design adjustments to avoid some of the issues people are seeing. At the end of the day, if you don't like the lens, return it! If Neewer gets enough returns, I'm sure they'll take that feedback and hopefully iterate on new designs down the road.

[@BaseCammp]

Are you looking at this lens attachment for the OP3? Definitely see the use case for those cinematic shots.

[@AtomicAgePictures]

Thanks for the video and the sample footage about this new anamorphic lens. However just one aside, the lens does not have a 1.2 x zoom, rather it is a 1.2 x stretch.

[@BaseCammp]

Thanks for the clarification. Yeah, I was struggling with that since it wasn't clear from Neewer.

[@TheInvisibleRedneck]

I film car shows and motorsports with the op3. I plan on using it for more cinematic stuff too. Such a great camera.

[@jeremyhubbell]

With the sensor and framerate, I can't wait to see some full-featured shorts using the cinematic capabilities of this camera.

[@hexotech5202]

am looking for a zoom lens. want to take it from 20mm standard to 35mm near 50 if possible

[@BaseCammp]

Nothing like that yet. I'm guessing it's a physics issue (ie. size/mass) on the gimbal more than anything else.
