    All of the things that I thought would be neat to do to a lens to make it more interesting, Rich went out and DID them (as well as a couple of things that I hadn't thought of). I got the one after Andrew's (serial # 005) and personally I cannot wait to get my hands on it. Any day now.

      Thanks for sharing, this film is in my top 10 of all time.

    Andy Lee shoots with these...

    I think that it looks rather good.   To figure out correct aspect ratio, shoot an image of a circle on your monitor or a step ring on your desk. When you import the footage, you'll be able to see pretty quickly what stretch factor to use (many lenses that have a '2x' designation are actually 1.9x, 1.8x, etc.)

    Agreed. Once you have the focus where it needs to be, there is only one parameter that you can possibly screw up. It's nice!

    Bags?

    Here's what I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019CSVMW   It's within standard airline carry-on dimensions. It is built like a tank, quite practical (especially with the addition of the mesh compartments that can be added to the lit) and quite water-resistant when closed. I end up sitting on it or propping a camera on it quite a bit.

    I wouldn't say that. I believe that the Isco Animex is a rebranded Iscomorphot 8/2x (confirmed by Alan/Tony Wilson), which is a lens that I happen to like quite a bit: http://vimeo.com/60401188 It is focus-through, like Andy says. But unlike the LA7200 or Century lenses, you have to focus your spherical to one set point, and then control your distance from your subject with diopters. This is a lens that tells you where to set your camera. A bit tricky, but if it's like mine, it can give you a very pleasing image if you are patient with it.

    WARNING: Contains violent imagery.   This is making the rounds on the internet today:   http://youtu.be/bWpK0wsnitc   Look at that bokeh. Incredible. I wonder what they used to shoot this...

    Nice footage as always, Seb. There is so much nice architecture in France!
  10. QuickHitRecord
    Thanks, John. I may do that once I assess the condition of the lens in person. Shouldn't be too long now.

    @JohnBarlow You say that you've re-lubed your 32. I think that I might have found one to buy myself and I'm curious, how difficult was it to make this repair? Also, have you been able to access the lens elements relatively easily?
  12. QuickHitRecord
      I wouldn't know how to do that. My question is about the Moller 32. I'll ask it over in the Moller thread.   Sorry for the hijack!

    @JohnBarlow,   I have been trying to PM you with a question, but I'm getting an alert telling me that you are not receiving any messages. Do you have messaging disabled?

    I've ordered one of these bad boys in matte black. Serial #05. It feels like joining an elite club.   If you've been thinking about getting one, better order it soon before Andrew writes an article!
  15. QuickHitRecord
      I really like this, both stylistically and musically.
  16. QuickHitRecord
    I'd enter a competition like that.
  17. QuickHitRecord
    I also took mine to a shoe shop, and was quoted US$300. The search continues.

    I have been looking for a front cap for my Lomo 50mm! Where did you find yours?

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/181088333514   Is the winner among us? Or does anyone know anything about it?   I was tempted to bid but I'm on an eBay diet.
  21. QuickHitRecord
      Great idea. I would like to see this as well.   But until we get it... for those who are curious, here are the Nikon D5200 camera tests that I shot this week (H264 files out of the camera): https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9ZhDqZ6DYvfN2c3eHJsMFBhM2s/edit?usp=sharing

      Yes, just tell him which lens you have and he will know which clamp you need. Send him an email or contact him through this site (here, he goes by 'Tony Wilson').
  23. QuickHitRecord
    @Ben I don't think that you are going find any step rings small enough. Redstan has a clamp, or you can do what I did (see last page).
  24. QuickHitRecord
      I have one of those too. It forces me to use an even longer lens to avoid vignetting and is only useful for extreme close ups and macro shots. I haven't used it since I bought it.
  25. QuickHitRecord
      I had one of those once: http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/741-isco-gottingen-anamorphot-15x-not-to-be-confused-with-iscormorphot-15x   That was a focus-through design and very difficult to work with. You have to reposition the camera to focus. The Iscomorphot 8 1.5x is very easy to use (fully rack-focusable and has a minimum focus distance of about 2.5'), as long as you keep your aperture above f/5.6.
