Edwin Molenaar

Vintage Japanese anamorphic projection lens produced by Sankor, model 16F, originally designed for 16mm film projection and later adopted by cinematographers for adapted anamorphic filming. A well-documented and highly sought-after model among collectors and filmmakers.

The Sankor Anamorphic 16F is a classic anamorphic projection lens attachment manufactured in Japan during the 1960s–1970s. Identified by the engravings “SANKOR ANAMORPHIC”, “16F” and “Lens Made in Japan”, this model features the characteristic oval internal glass element typical of early anamorphic optical design.

Originally intended for 16mm cinema projection, the 16F has become especially popular in modern cinematography when adapted to digital and mirrorless cameras, thanks to its authentic anamorphic compression and distinctive vintage rendering. This lens has no native photographic mount and is designed to be used with appropriate adapters, which is standard practice for this type of optical equipment.

The lot is offered as a complete set, including original caps and the original cylindrical carrying case.
