I love my Sirui 50mm f/1.8 1.33x Anamorphic Lens. Very affordable and with great image quality.

For anamorphics on the FX30, I'd go with a 1.8x or 2x squeeze factor to really get that widescreen cinematic look, since the FX30 has a 1.6x crop sensor. The Vazen 85mm T2.8 1.8x is an excellent choice - it's purpose-built for Super35/APS-C and has beautiful sharpness, character and flares. The 85mm focal length is great for portraits and medium shots. You'll need to use an external monitor or desqueeze in post though.

Consider Laowa's anamorphic lenses in amber, blue, or silver. Available in 27mm, 35mm, and 50mm, they're relatively affordable for anamorphic at $1000-\$$1500 each.
