Can anyone give me the pixel counts when using 2x anamorphics on epic at 5k?

I'm looking for the widest aspect ratio and highest rez possible. If I use 2x ana's when shooting the 5k ana setting in epic, do I get a 3.55:1 ratio? I read it corrects the image on the LCD but what happens to the SDI signal? Is it squeezed? What are the best 2x anamorphic lens options?

Thanks in advance!
 
If you want the widest aspect ratio possible, don't use 5K ANA, which crops the recorded sensor area width to around 1.20 : 1 or 1.33 : 1 (for a 2X optical squeeze to get a 2.40 aspect ratio), you'd want to shoot and record full-frame 5K or 2:1 5K. Of course, then you'd have to live with seeing a squeezed monitor image.
 
Thank you both. Are there any 2x Anamorphics on the wide end that would cover 5k 2:1?
