Being honest, I think you even might sell it at this price. There are always nutcases for Iscos. hahahaah
-
I couldn't see the original listing which Rich posted, but I'm not quite sure it beats this one
-
Post updated with Isco Widescreen 2000 and price adjustments. :)

No, and they actually look SMALLER than they are. One day I saw a listing with a hand holding the lens. That was the day I stopped even considering to use one of these. :P

Wasn't ebay advertising off the rules in this forum?

The lack of information around the web is the main reason I want THIS - http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/2683-anamorphic-lens-yclopedia/ - to keep moving forward. hahaha

BTW, the more you stop down, the less vignetting you should see...
Actually, I think it's the opposite of this... o.O

It's pretty much the same, but bigger optics (better), and stronger construction (better too).
Redstan HAS a custom clamp for it, you can check some more info here: https://drive.google.com/?pli=1&authuser=0#folders/0BzVcUB-5ReiZajVncE9rYU9heDQ
or, if you don't feel like looking up through them all, the Sankor 16-D is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16zeZOt79LDBFVVQ5nCVfNqPGUkXLOu1GtVVkh6SoOvs
It SHOULD work at the edge of vignetting with a 50mm on APS-C. :P

Hey Wilco!
Let's start with lens pairing: I use my Isco combined with russian glass (Helios 44, Jupiter 9 and Tair 11). Never needed anything other than these three, and never had any problems regarding image quality. The Helios and Jupiter have a "trick" to identify the single coated version: they are the ones with the "finger" dents on the focus ring. The perfectly round bodies are already MC (or at least, I read that somewhere and did work for me).
Desqueezing live works, but since it eats a lot of camera processing power, this will end up limiting how many frames you can get while raw recording. I would suggest using an external monitor for the desqueeze, like Zacuto's, SmallHD, or the one that best fits your budget. If you're not recording raw, but h264 or still photos, ML's desqueeze is a great tool. Too bad it doesn't work in playback. :(

As another owner of both anamorphics mentioned here, I'm very curious to see some pictures of these flares! :P
-
Hey Rob, great looking video, man! :)
I have a couple questions for you, if you don't mind. hehehe
1 - Why are the longer lens takes way less contrasty than the rest? Almost hazy. Problems with the taking lens, or it's done on purpouse?
2 - How come some shots the whole background seems to be shaking? Most closes of Kjeld's face on the slackline, and one near the end as well. Stabilization done on post? :)
-
About the external monitor, I tested today both Small HD DP6 and Zacuto's EVF, with 2x stretch. Both worked perfectly, but also shows more image than you're actually recording. They show raw's square, so you gotta use it as a base, but I couldn't find a way to "get rid" of the unrecording area, when previewing.

Century Optics Bayo SOLD!

POST UPDATED WITH A COUPLE MORE LENSES! Century 58mm and modified Panasonic LA7200.

http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?196822-Anamorphic-Shootout/page31 - last post on this page highlights the size and light loss of this lens.
-
There were some of these on ebay a while ago, sold cheap. It's a monster, in terms of size and weight, and I DEFINITELY believe wouldn't be adequate to put this in front of any camera smaller than a refrigerator. Taking from the link below, it weights aprox 8kg (16 pounds).
The squeeze comes from two mirrors/prisms, which are not a good way of "anamorphizing" (?) anything. :(
-
It's a gorgeous lens. I own one. :P
-
Don't worry about lenses much brighter than f/2.8, since it will be unusable with anamorphics. My longest lens is a Tair 11 (135mm f/2.8), which works great with Iscos and used to shine with the Kowa.
I had a Sankor 16D, and it was a good pair with any 85mm, on the 5D3. How much vignette are you getting?
Also, regarding diopters, you should take a look here: http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/2570-the-diopter-thread/
-
Getting my 50D tomorrow morning, I'll test it with external monitor and lots of anamorphics in the upcoming days. :)
-
Tested the +0.25 diopter thing, and it worked great for close focus, from about 1m to 2-3m. I still don't understand how this happens, optically, but it DOES work.

LA7200 gone! Just the Century remains.
deal of the century!

The main reason why prices are going up is because there are people willing to pay them.
I got a pair of iscomorphots recently. One wasn't good looking, so I sold it cheap - $300 -, but the other one is in great shape. Seeing these listings only gets me willing to sell it for more. :P
People aren't patient to get a bargain anymore, definitely. So anyone with anamorphics to spare is selling them at top prices. At some time (we hope), the lenses are gonna stop changing hands and things are gonna calm down.
