There is a much easier way of holding a filkter. 

 

Just unscrew the front nameplate ring ACW and it reveals a 55mm thread

 

just sayin'

 

 

Also this scope is easy to convert to dual focus....

How and.... how? Got any links/tips? 

I really need to read the Anamorphic guide because its quite a complicated topic. Then I will try to hunt for some diopters(hard to find in Holland!) and then look for a way to mount everything, that step up ring idea looks good. 

Thx! This time I focused at 4 m and the result was great: 

This made me very happy:) Great moderate flares, not too much. 

I do have a Helios 44-2, at least thats what it says on the lens, or is there some other version? That Dog Schidt lens look good, wonder how flares with the Isco look on that thing. That redstan clamp looks great, but expensive so I will first try a DIY. Any recommendation for an affordable diopter?

Hi guys,

I'm a bit of an anamorphic noob. I bought an Isco-Gottingen Animex S8/2x. It's supposed to be the same as a rebranded Iscomorphot 8/2x according to this:

I bought it for 140 euros in perfect condition so I thought I was getting a great deal. I noticed straight that the image was very sharp. I just couldn't really get  great anamorphic flares out of it. A least not as in this video:

Here are some test with the helios 58mm holding the Isco in front of it:

Is there a way to make the flares more pronounced or could it be that the lens it MC?
