cool
thanks everyone, much appreciated, i haven't posted much work up here so really good to hear the feedback/tips.  i knew sensor size had an effect on bokeh size, but not on shape. 
 
the tightest closeups i used the one tokina, on the medium shot was just the close focus mod.  i'm pretty sure i shot at 2.0, bc the voigtlander is really soft wide open.  i might've cheated to 1.4.

it's rehoused.  i sent it to van diemen in april and just got it back.  even though the turnaround time was a bit dramatic, i think they did a good job.  the only problem with it is that i wish the front element didn't rotate cause there isn't an elegant way to put a mattebox on this thing, since the focus throw telescopes the lens enough that you either hit your filters or pull out of your donut.  but hey you gotta deal with what nature gave you you know?

wanted to share a short narrative scene i made with iscorama 36, tokina diopter, blackmagic pocket camera, and voigtlander 25mm f0.95.

it's the rebadged 36, not the 1968, so i noticed the flares off the taxi's brake light was pretty subdued.  the voigtlander probably subdued it more.  and it was a weak brake light anyway.  and on top of that probably doesn't work to have flares in this particular scene anyway.
 
for some reason the bokeh i was getting on the CU's with the diopter honestly looked a little spherical to me.  any thoughts on that?
 
any other critique that could probably help me shoot better anamorphic?
thanks

Hey Paulio
I usually shine a flashlight into the lens and make sure the horizontal flare is perfectly horizontal.  That's the only way I know how to do it...even with an anamorphic desqueeze monitor, I still check that way...

hey mathias
alan told me the same thing too about his stock depleting. if he stops that would be terrible. dod he say hes quitting for sure or thinking abt it. there arent any other good clamps in my opinion. the metal screw vamp clamps have cosmetically damaged my anamorphics before and arent secure enough for specific lenses. is there anyway we can all keep him in business? im just a little concerned....

Looking to buy an Iscorama 36 Anamorphic.  Non Multicoated and in great condition.

Will pay at least average selling price or more.  Would consider an Isco 54 if it's also Non-MC and great condition. 

Email me at freakse(at)gmail.com

I have verified Paypal or could meet local Philly/NYC pickup.  eBay's been looking bleak lately...

Thanks!
Erik
