I feel there are two main problems with anamorphic attachments:

1. quite limited angle of view
2. image quality

The purpose built complete anamorphic prime lenses (usually 2:1) have
better 
quality and can offer a much wider angle of view but:

1. the on film image size is usually for 35mm cine format: only about 19
x 22mm
2. these lenses are _not_ cheap
