Interesting: it's a 35mm lens, but he is using it FF.

If it comes out for L-mount, I will probably buy it. Im hoping for such a lens for years.

The autofocus is very interesting. I haven't liked 1.33x that much, it is useful for 4:3 cameras but for me doesn't add that much for 3:2 cameras. However, the lens is available for E mount; I've never used anamorphic with my Sony cameras so I'll take a further look to see if it is something to consider.

I already expected that you would find this lens interesting. I also agree with the 1.33x, however this lens is still light enough for handheld shooting.
