What was this shot on?

I know way too many flares and I don't like the music but some very nice shots and grade:

Looks like Lomo squarefront to me.

Lomo squarefront?
I don't know much about anamorphics but don't they have access to newer and better ones?
I know the Lomos are great but what does hollywood shoot anamorphic with these days?

[QuickHitRecord]

Hollywood uses Panavision and Hawk anamorphic lenses. For indie films, you'll see more Lomo round and squarefronts or sometimes Kowa anamorphics. The next step down are the Iscorama adapters. And then you have Kowa, Moller, Sankor, LA7200 and a couple dozen other lenses which are better suited for budget filmmaking.

Zeiss has new anamorphic lenses on the way. Supposedly SLR Magic is developing one for Micro Four Thirds as well.

The example above has a 2x crop, a glamorous "washed out" look, and some crazy flaring that is prevalent in Lomos, though these look more purple than what I have seen with mine. But that might be from the color correction.

If you're interested in learning more about anamorphic lenses, Andrew's e-book is pretty useful.

thanks for the info!
very interesting read
I do own andrews book and it's great but unless I missed it he does not talk about the ones currently used in the industry so I was wondering
