Thanks! I will try to get my hands on a Fujinon and test it.   best, Tim

Hi, I recently got myself a Yashica Scope and I am experimenting at the moment with various taking lenses. I found that the Zeiss Tessar 50/3.5 works quite well and it makes for an incredibly small setup: (The Yashica Scope on an adapter ring on the Tessar 50/3.5 on an Exakta adapter on a NEX 5n - I wrote more on that setup here.)   Has anyone other good suggestions on taking lenses and ways to mount this thing (it seems that the thread is 30m but with a funky spacing - definitely not the one found on filters...)   best, Tim  

o.k. some more footage (music vid): http://youtu.be/A9NfqkHZZjg t.

ah, damn. the video can not be viewed here in germany apparently due to the music used... T.

Thanks! I still don't know if a clamp will help me much since the Kiptar is so freaking big... T.

I thought I share my rough test here: Isco anamorphic Kiptar 2x on a Zeiss Biotar 58/2 on a t2i. There is slight vignetting but it is quite o.k. if cropped to 3:1.

Also, I know,  I should get myself some nd filters. Tim
