Yes, the distortion is definitely there, but that’s pretty much par for the course. I also have access to Cooke and Orion anamorphics and the distortion is there on all of them. The Sirui & Cooke lenses have pincushion distortion and the Orions have barrel. As you probably know, distortion and especially skew will be much worse if the camera isn’t perfectly level.
