On this website, go to Warehouse>Tips>Focusing Anamorphics. Works fine. But, again, your throw may be too short for your anamorphic adapter. I have a 35 foot throw, and the gold Schneider anamorphic adapters work fine for me.
My screen is less than 2.35 wide for 1 high, but fortunate that local cinema equipment supplier has boxes of modern Isco and Schneider removed lenses so I borrowed a few till I homed in on best fit for scope width and then bought a fairly matching pair from them (I do changeovers). I adjust masking up and down to frame the picture.
Yes, you need a separate aperture plate for scope. Don't try to modify your flat plate, find another one and file away on it, remembering that prime lens reverses the image from aperture plate to screen, so upper right on screen is lower left on aperture plate when you start filing. Run the RP-40 loop and file to fit. If you overfile, tap the spot using a 1/4" punch to expand the brass and then file carefully till perfect. Great project!
