Not seen this one before. interesting because he says he can rack focus with just the taking lens. I guess with such a long barrel the use of wide lenses is a no go, and thus he has probably never been able to use this indoors at wide aperture where rack focusing is required more often.


Wonder how much it will go for based on the brand, the 1.5x squeeze and the sellers suggestion that you can rack focus with just the taking lens.

I have seen these old Panavision projection lenses on eBay before but I didn't know that they weren't dual focus systems. That's certainly interesting. I have looked up footage samples before, and it gives you a very soft image like this:
