Thanks for your nice words tony!    I think the bolex are the most beautiful/practical lenses behind the iscorama 36... it has a 3 feet minimal focus or less, amazing flares and that film tonality that we are all looking for.   I wouldn´t sell mine for less than 3000 Euros, i just love it.   Rudolf, with which anamorphic adapter are you trying to pair your lenses? All my lenses are Canon Fd´s in mint condition and with them it works just perfect.  I also have an Isco ultra star plus ( Red) 1,75x and it is SUPER sharp with the same lenses.    Here i leave you a couple of frames of a video that im working on at the moment with my Isco   ]    

Very interesting color and epic scenery on these screenshots! I am looking forward for the final film!!! Hope you share it with us... Canon FD Lenses are very good I think. I have the 28mm F 2.0 which is fantastic in sharpness wide open. Same as the 35mm 2.0 which has unfortunately for my taste a too warm color rendition.  The 50mm 1.4 is as sharp as the Zeiss 50mm 1.4 (maybe sharper)  However I am switching and therefore I will probably sell my FD collection. 

Yeah, quite what i expected, unfortunately. I was lucky, though, in finding a guy with a completely new spare one living in France, selling it to me. Saved me around 115 € (!) in shipping costs, taxes and customs over all. Big luck that was.   Greetings, Matthias

I have a couple of Canon FDs, some russian lens, Yashica, Zeiss, Panasonic and one I like very much is the Olympus Zuiko 38mm. All together maybe 15 and I am not really unhappy but I am not sure if this makes sense. I got the feeling I bought a lot and some were not was I am looking for (I recently sold my Konicas)  I would like to have maybe 4 primes of really good quality with a homogenous look and sharpness. For example Zeiss 28mm, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm or similar Nikkors AIS (I just posted this "problem" in a new thread). But when I watch your great video... maybe it is just my disability and not the lens  :)
