Your review is right on the money Andrew!

I have owned one of these and it is in fact the same body design as the Iscorama 54 only with a 1.33 squeeze factor and probably smoother focusing. Just because it says Isco instead of Iscorama shouldn't be reason to argue. Fantastically sharp and a beautiful piece of glass! I don't understand the negative comments here. This is a rare beauty and requires no cropping to achieve scope if used with a 16x9 sensor. If I had the money myself I'd likely buy this.

The entry for Yashicascope 1.5x appears to contain the info for the Iscorama 54.

The Iscorama has sold. I still have a baby Hypergonar with Redstan mounting ring and front filter holder (perfect for diopters) I'm considering listing. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks!

Iscorama 54 NON MC still available! Bolex 16/32 and Letus anamorphic adapters have sold as well as the Redstan adapters mentioned. Still have a two piece Redstan adapter for the Iscorama 36 available which allows for varying distance to the taking lens by using one or both elements. Considering listing a baby Hypergonar in fantastic condition Redstan mounting ring and filter holder. Anyone interested?

I've lowered the price.

Hello again, I'm very sad to be saying this but I must part with my cherished Iscorama 54 Non MC anamorphot. It's in fantastic condition! I need the money for post on a feature I'm completing. It comes with a 67mm Redstan mount. I'm also selling a Bolex 16/32 with Redstan mount, a Letus anamorphot for GoPro Hero 3/3+ & 4, some Redstan mounts for the Bolex 8/19 anamorphot as well as for Iscorama 36 and other stuff as well. Let me know if you're interested in anything. Thanks guys. Here's the link for the Isco 54 :http://www.ebay.com/itm/ULTRA-RARE-Iscorama-54-non-MC-anamorphic-Redstan-mount-FF-gear-UV-/221854404259?hash=item33a78d8ea3

See if the unusual light marks change as you stop down. Could it be bright light reflecting off the edge of the iris blades? Do the shape of the marks roughly approximate the blades of your aperture? Maybe it's from a specular source reflecting off the hand cut (and somewhat imperfect) bevelled edge of the rear anamorphot element?

Point taken. I'll consider different shipping if I re-list.

Hi again, I have had my Hypergonar Hi-Fi 2 kit on eBay for a short time now but will be de-listing by Thursday evening if there are no takers by then. After Friday afternoon I'll be unable to ship. There are 5 watchers so if one of you is reading this and you're serious about it...I'd recommend you pull the trigger soon. The glass on the anamorphot is fantastic. The kit comes with a Redstan adapter that fits like a glove. Also included are a Canon lens ring and a base with adjustable height. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221801579963?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 With diopters this lens is staggering. Super sharp and beautiful. And focus can be achieved quite close. I've done the sourcing of all the parts meaning one stop shopping for you if you've been itching to try this lens out. I'm only selling to pay for post on a feature. Otherwise I'd never sell this lens. Thanks!

Sold!

Hi Ken, Thanks for pointing that out. I revised the listing to include international shipping.

Hi everyone, I've put my Bolex 8mm anamorphot on eBay. I'm including a somewhat difficult to procure custom Redstan adapter with it. It's really a beautiful lens and the adapter makes it the perfect system. I've been able to shoot on full frame as long as my taking lens is fairly open. As most of you know, the look this lens gives is quite superb. Time to part with it to pay for post expenses on a feature I'm completing. I'm selling for less than I paid. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221798465364?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Thanks!

​Redstan uses plastic screws so there's no damage to the lens.

Looks really great Bozzie. Please keep 'em coming. What anamorphic setup were you using?
