Red Stan's site is down… any clues to where I could find this adapter ring?

+1 October is waaaay late. If they want their flagship camera to remain slightly competitive, and us their users to maintain a slight advantage having invested in the GH4 then they need to get this V-Log carrot-on-a-stick release ASAP and NOT in October!!!

Thanks Eris!

Thanks Eris & Cineman1! I actually bought my Moeller 7 years ago before this craze, actually for my Bolex Super16mm RX-5 as a nice to have item. It was ca. $500 at the time. I am actually on a budget today OK I will have to look for a res stan clamp. Any good alternatives? Vid-Mid-Atlantic makes one and there are some on ebay...

Red Stan clamp? Don't the metal screws damage the Moeller?

How are you guys connecting your Moeller 16/32 to the taking lens? I have one of these anamorphics and read on an ebay auction to just use a 52mm (Nikkor taking lens) to 39mm step-down ring. It does work but the Moeller will rotate easily as it doesn't tighten up at exact the spot I need it to, so it is a little loose. Also, any idea for a rear lens cap for this expensive piece of glass? I need one... Many thanks!

Way to go Andrew! All these musicians and clubs need visuals, it's a small market, but, Berlin is a great place to be to do it. Something similar happened to me 8 years ago in Switzerland. I shot a student music video project on s16mm & Digibeta. The students were inspired by a track from Ellen Allien. They contacted her in Germany, through her label, sent a link to the video and she replied, 'Hey, that great, but, you should use this track off my unreleased album'. They re-edited to the new track (which was much better anyway) and her label bought the video (for cost, no profit for us) and the track was included on as a "bonus video" on her CD "Thrills". Sometimes the stars align. Here's a link: Congrats again.

Great idea Andrew. As always you are ahead of the curve. That's why I keep returning here!

That Letus 1.33x is massive. I hope it allows for wide angles.

Any updates on this?

Hey, nice anamorphic & beautiful shots. Since it is focusable, how do you focus? on the taking lens, the anamorphic or both?

They're all fools. I'm hearing from many photographers that they're losing business because they don't do video. For web photos, companies are want to save a buck and take stills off HD video and call it a day. AR: the video is interesting, the frame rate of this camera is not. Mega Video stimmung mann! I didn't watch enough to see if the Clockwork orange references got more severe. Alex rules! If Olympus would give us better frame rates, they might sell some more of these cameras.

How about the Sony EA-50? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/887069-REG/Sony_nex_ea50h_Sony_NEX_EA50_Camcorder_with.html It's down to $2700, has xlr inputs & volume meters!!! Or the AF100? Are they both chopped liver?

Thanks Kays for your impressions. I think the built in battery and SSD make it a less versatile, more niche product. All Bolexs had to have film put in them, so there's no aesthetic reason to not make them user replaceable. Original RX Bolexes also has a viewfinder, which was a luxury at their price point and part of their continued use many years after production ceased. The momentary on/off switch in the handgrip was convienient and you only has 3 minutes on a 100' daylightspool, so it help you to conserve film. The D16's lack of accessory mounting options and XLRs in your face (if you're a righty) might get annoying. It might also make it a very popular camera with lefties and some creative customizations might come about with a little time (good point). I hope the passion and image quality/global shutter make it work. I have a lot of C mount glass I might/could use on it.

I think the whole world is waiting to hear an unbiased opinion/impression of this camera. Kays: what did you think?
