Cheers for that! I will have a go with a vice! Cant believe It took so long to work it out!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271301435737?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648   here is a link to the lens Do you know how to unscew it then? Do you need to undo the tiny screws? Sorry for being an amature. Ive also tried to unscrew where i imagine the split to be but no joy. When i see other people that have isco's on their cams it looks like the front part So yes i reckon i need to split it! Thanks for that

just did a test without a taking lens and held the isco infront of the camera and it worked! Just need to pick the correct lens as the taking lens i presume. thought my helios would have been fine for this.

i reckon the lens needs adjusting. been trying to focus now for ages and the focus on the isco seems to do nothing! however i see the thing moving back and forth. it appears to act like a telephoto too. Its very frustrating I can tell you. I will check out the suggested threads now Thank you for your reply by the way

I bought this Anamorphic lens and for the life of me cant focus it! Does anyone know if this particular lens is usable with a DSLR if so what do I do? When you look through the lens you have to hold it a foot away from your eye for it to be in focus is this like this with all anamorphics? Sorry Im trying it for the 1st time.
