Selling my Bolex anamorphot 8/19/1.5x. Bought it on ebay Christmas 2013 after looking everywhere for this particular lens. As you already know, it is extremely rare to find one. Optics are good, no haze, fungus, scratches, dents. Minor dust particles that don't affect quality at all. I took great care of this little lens.
I'm taking for granted that members of this forum know the fine details and value of this particular lens already but feel free to ask me anything about it.
Included with lens are the original case (2X), with tools, soft pouch I purchased to keep lens in, and clamp to mount onto your taking lens.
Rear thread is 24mm. Lens is quite small. Minimum focusing distance of 2.5 feet. Maximum focusing to infinity. Sharp through all apertures. Requires focusing on both this lens and taking lens. Comes with lens hood, and original miscellaneous equipment. I'm including a Vid Atlantic anamorphic clamp. It has a rear thread of 60mm. Comes with 2 step up rings. 52-60mm and 58-60mm. You can, of course attach more to make your taking lens fit. On crop sensor cameras (7D, T2i, GH2, etc.) widest lens you can use is 40 - 50mm. Any wider and you get vignetting. On full frame sensors I think you have to use 85 or longer to avoid vignetting. Used mainly on a Lumix GH2 micro 4/3 sensor with different Nikkor 35, 50, 85mm primes. If you love the look of authentic widescreen ratio this is one of the best tools to give you that.
Search Vimeo for "bolex moller anamorphic" and for some amazing results this lens can do.
Here are some 2013 posts from my instagram account as proof I actually own the lens:
Selling a used Century Optics 1.33x ratio anamorphic lens. Cosmetically it's in excellent condition. No scratches, or fungus or dings, besides where the screws are. Rear thread is 37mm. Comes with 37mm - 52mm rear adapter and front screw-on lens cap. No need for clamps. Best used on a cropped sensor camera APS-C or micro 4/3 or miniDV. Full frame would work too but give you vignetting on wide angle lenses. This adapter is similar to the Panasonic LA72000. No focusing is necessary. I just bought this lens on ebay the beginning of December. I've barely owned it. In my opinion, with my lenses and my camera the image quality did not hold up enough to justify keeping it. Shows chromatic aberrations, not sharp at wide open apertures, but fits nicely. http://www.ebay.com/itm/110993753985?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
