This is a superb anamorphic lens, part of a series of 3 with more to come.
I bought this 50mm & also the 85mm (also for sale) for a project that ended up going spherical instead at the last minute, which was definitely a mistake as these are incredible lenses for their price. We shot the flash back scenes of that film with these two lenses and that was it. See a short clip in the photos and look out for the delicious orange flare!

This one comes with a PL mount but has an EF mount too (+ shims) that can be used switched out easily. Incredibly they cover full-frame, VistaVision/Alexa LF open-gate or obviously Super35 so have incredible versatility. They have a tough metal chassis so are more than capable of standing up to the daily strains on set, yet are light enough and compact enough to easily go on a gimbal. The engineering that's gone into these stands them head and shoulders above cheap alternatives like Great Joy or Sirui etc which have a lot of plastic parts and far cheaper glass. They are unlikely to stand the test of time and rigours of shooting. The Vazens are superb by comparison and built like tanks.
They retail at over £7300 inc. VAT. I am asking just £4000 for a lens that has had less than 4 hours use in total. Absolutely spotless.
Have tried to show the glass as best I can. Any marks that can be seen are simply dust. No fungus, no scratches. They have always been kept in their individual peli cases in a warm dry environment. 

You can see from the promos on Vazen's website they have an amazing ability to be crystal sharp in the middle, yet a very subtle and flattering focal fall off towards the edges.  Having a 1.8x squeeze means they sit right at the sweet spot between having the anamorphic look & qualities of 2x squeeze, such as oval bokeh, full-fat flares and gentle focal fall off vs. the more efficient use of your camera chip you get with 1.5x squeeze, but rapidly loose anamorphic feeling. This means you have less cut-off or wastage from the sides making them extremely useful for 2:1 deliveries or even 16:9 deliveries.
