Focus breathing tests using the new Laowa Sunlight 2x 40-80mm T4.5 and 70-135mm T4.5 anamorphic zooms.
I tested out the zooms by doing large focus throws, and there is certainly breathing in the form of vertical stretching when using the lenses wide open, but for 2x anamorphic lenses at this price, that is to be expected. If you stop down to T8 the breathing is minimized.
