Do you think Möller & Rathenowerwhich which lens's flare is better? 

I have Möller lens only, the flare is very good IMO.  

 

The Rathenower is more blue flare. The möller has some magenta touch in the blue.

I bought this lens just curious about the 1.5x~2x.  But when I saw the distance scale are different from other anamorphic lens(longest is infinity).  Then found it is as SLR rangefinder(shortest is infinity).  So realize it contains a focus module.   I tried to set prime lens in focus distance, won't get clear image.  Must set to at infinity, then focusing by anamorphic lens only.  The closest focus distance actually can go under 4M.     

I also found out that the 2 front glasses are single focus and of quite OK quality. If you remove the stop screws at the back, it will focus even closer.

Great tinkering @HellVideoRazor. I look in amazement as it is far beyond my abilities haha...But I am a bit confused, do the Rathenower or Möller have anything to do with the Panatar from @ken's post?

Thanks. I just reused the front glass from my Panatar because they cover the 63 Möller and the 64 Rathenower for Single Focus.

The prisms inside actually fit (after modification) inside normal sized Single Focus Solutions. I am about to make a house to fit them inside Rectilux 3ff-w.

Are Möller & Rathenower the same lens in optics?
 

No. They vary in coverage as also flares. But they are pretty close.

Well, until now it was a secret.

When you ask Google: "Stretch your imagination Anamorphic Lens" ARRI does not show up. At least not by today.

Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a company that does Iscorama rehousing, other than Van Diemen, who will probably be too expensive for me, especially with V2 version. I know that richg101 was planing to do some, but I believe he's very busy with his current orders, so it might be a while before i hear back from him (unless he will check this post ). Are there any other options? Thanks!

Hi,

Maybe I can help you out, depending upon your needs.

I have never touched an Iscorama, but I am pretty confident it can be done.

Please take a look at some small anamorphic rehousings for single focus, which I have done: http://www.diehroptic.ch/albums/small-single-focus/

or bigger ones: http://www.diehroptic.ch/essays/2016/04/single-focus-for-moeller-rathenower-64-x2/

or overall mounting and adapting stuff: http://www.diehroptic.ch/albums/bolex-moeller/

or the Iscorama competition of some sort, like: http://www.diehroptic.ch/essays/2016/03/rectilux-collaboration-for-a-x15-scope/

Cheers

Not 4k, but maybe someone wants to try. I started uploading h265 encoded stuff and I will continue to do so.

This ^

I imagine it's largely a matter of financials: can someone (with the means and machines) create an Isco clone at a price that is both competItive and turns a profit.  My guess would be no, otherwise someone would have jumped on this by now.  Doesn't mean it couldn't happen in the future though...

http://www.diehroptic.ch/essays/2016/03/rectilux-collaboration-for-a-x15-scope/

This is targeting in that direction.

diehroptic.ch is collaborating with Rectilux to bring

The Dscope

We will bring a Single Focus x1.5 Scope based on the Rathenower 2x 48, targeting a wide horizontal FOV.

John does the glass and I do the housing & final fittings.

It comes fitted with the Core DNA.

Price target is estimated around 1.800€.

Please find all the details on my page: http://www.diehroptic.ch/essays/2016/03/rectilux-collaboration-for-a-x15-scope/

Old thread, but here are my findings regarding the Rathenower 48:

http://diehroptic.ch/koken/index.php?/essays/2015/07/rathenower-rectimascope-for-rectilux/

That is looking good! And the price without witness marks seems very right!

+1 on the matte box, which will add to to the bulk and will make it hard using the gear. Maybe those blue blobs could be flagged out.

Amazing for run and gun when there is light! Will SLR do a smaller version for 58mm lenses in the future?

Others are usable down to a Speedboosted f1.2 on gh4. But those are not as light and small...

Are you telling me you get less moire and aliasing with the Photo Style settings all at zero? Incredible!

no. I chose the same picture profile and reshot a scene. I got less moiré. There is still quite some...

Hi

I have done some filming and the cam gives stunning pictures. But as soon as there are fine lines in the picture...it gives really terrible Moiré and Aliasing in all Video Modes. 

I have read that it is worse than GH2 but... I did a very unsientific comparison with the BMPCC (mnaual glas on GM1, same glass + SB on Pocket), then the BMPCC does actually a LOT better than the GM1! I can almost spot moiré pattern on the peaking display and I hope that there is something wrong with my cam.

Seeing Oil colors on far away fences is no fun.

Did anyone experience the same?

Anyone with a suggestion what to test or to try?

Sharpness & iDynamic is allredy tested.

factory defaults did the trick! First timer with a Pana cam.

In a video I posted in the GH3 Best Video Settings thread, the first couple shots were actually taken with the GM1. In-camera sharpening was set higher than it should have been, and I had to add blur in post. Even so, you can see what appears to be ugly aliasing in the woman's hair at the very beginning of the clip. As far as suggestions, I was led to believe that turning in-camera sharpening way down lessens moire and aliasing, but when I tried doing that with my GH3, I didn't see any better results, so I wouldn't expect it to have any affect on the GM1 either. And because my hands aren't steady, it makes the problem even worse, especially with things like patterns in clothing, which I can see shimmering with every movement of the camera. 

Thanks for pointing me to the Thread. I will do a reset to factory defaults. Then I will check some settings according to the PV thread. But as far as I could see the day before yesterday, sharpness setting is almost pointless regarding moiré/aliasing on GM1. The thing what helped was putting an uncleaned lens from around WWII. Aquivalent to sharpness -256 ;)
