no...
to make a lens as good as a kowa 8z today would cost over 2000 dollars
some of these lens are a bargain
the question should be why is ebay so full of tired old overpriced soft anamorphic lens
the iscorama new in the early 1990s in london cost £1500.isco could not make or sell that lens today for less than 4000-5000 euros.
people pay top whack on ebay sometimes cos they do not want to wait and hunt for a bargain
a soon as you get your anamorphic lens it needs to be tested quick and sent back if you are not able to get a sharp picture.
so much anamorphotic junk around so little time before the the next big war.
