  1. IMO, >35mm can be used on m43, why choose zoom lens?  You might only use the longest end.  Usually prime lens has less vignette with the same focal length.   So 35mm prime lens is the first choice.  If you have to choose zoom lens, starting at 35mm, like 35-70, 35-105 etc.  Newer lens front thread usually is not rotating. 

  2. Can you use a kowa bell and howell on a 50mm taking lens on a Full frame sensor? I always thought you could?

    No way.  70mm has a little vignetting already.  

    Here is a ISCO HD attachment's sample image, original size is available there.  I think in terms of sharpness only, Schneider ES lens would beat Kowa too.  All these are excellent optics, but size matters.

  3. I am pretty sure, closer focus distance would make less ratio in my experience until I got a D.O. 16F ana lens.

    D.O. lens actually is a shortened lens from Sankor/Singer/Eiki 16F.  Make the the 2x lens become about 1.6x when focus in minimum distance.  So the D.O. lens can focus to closer less than 1m.   But it is lack of infinity ability.  I just add a negative lens in front to let it is able to focus to infinity. And the advantage is that it can take wider lens, basically as wide as 16H.

  4. Thank you Rudolf ! Many confusions around the Isco series…

    Yes I insist again on this model probably remains the rarest and the same level of optical quality as the famous 54 (several specialists told me that it would be even higher than 54).
    That's the only x1.33 series that allows a 2:40 Cinemascope.

    Are you sure it is a single focus lens? Any way, you cannot call this lens as ISCORAMA.  

    I would like to buy a better cost performance one instead of rarer one.
