Turns the 1.33:1 image into a 1.78:1 (16:9) or a 1.78:1 (16:9) image into a 2.35:1 one.
Known use cases for Super8/Single8/...: The same anamorphic (de-)compression factor is used in 16:9 TVs/Videoprojectors/..., Hence the film can be telecined as usual - you'll only have to press the "16:9 anamorph"-button on your remote control when watching the video.

[edit] 1.5x Anamorphic attachments
Turns the 1.33:1 image into a 2:1 one.
Known use cases for Super8/Single8/...: the 1.5x-factor is used for many amateur films, mainly due to the simple usage of the Iscorama-36/42/54.
Side note: For ages there have been a discussion whether to prefer the 1.5x- or the 2x-anamorphots (other formats haven't been available for amateurs with some few exceptions until recently). The main arguments for the 1.5x-anamorphots have been the fact that most reversal films are too grainy for a 2x-(de)compression and the matter of taste-"fact" that the 2x-anamorphots will result in a "too wide" picture.

[edit] 1.75x Anamorphic attachments
Turns the 1.33:1 image into a 2.33:1 one.
Known use cases for Super8/Single8/...: there are some amateur films using this format. The Kowa PA-35 has been used by some airlines to show Super8/16mm-films. It's unclear whether they've shown special prints or whether they've shown 2x-anamorphic prints with the wrong equipement. (BTW: The resulting format is close to the 2.35:1-"cinemascope"-format used in cinemas, hence such an anamorphot might make sense when the film is blown-up to 35mm later on.)

[edit] 2x Anamorphic lenses
Turns the 1.33:1 image into a 2.66:1 one. Unlike attachments these "all in one lenses" are used instead of the camera's/projector's lens.
Known use cases for Super8/Single8/...: So far all commercial "cinemascope"-prints for Super8 require a 2x-anamorphot. There are several amateur productions using these anamorphots, too.
Prices for the Lomo and PL-mount-lenses: The used Lomos start at US$ 200, but are normally sold for at least US$ 500. The other PL-mount-lenses normally start at US$2000.
