I had a widescreen lens converter that I used with an 8mm windup film camera in the early 60’s. It was ‘universal’ and also fitted the projector. It consisted of 4 surface silvered mirrors set at angles to compress the wide image to fit the film and expand when fitted to the projector. Worked very well for a cheap adapter.
