bump and price drop to 450euros ! 

Hi 
It's time to let go of this monster. It"s in great condition.  The lens is located in Leipzig, Germany. I can put it up on eBay if someone is interested. I'm looking for around 500euro for it .There are some some light scratches from the clamp, the glass looks great with perhaps micro scratches and it to be some very small balsam separation. However this lens is in top condition! 
It comes with the clamp adapter to 72mm and the 72-77filter adapter which makes it very easy to use with taking lens.  
Looking to sell as I need some more practical lenses. I can also swap for canon 70-400 f4 L or partially swap and pay for canon 16-35mm. Also I can consider other EF (like 17-40 ) lenses, Hero4 or video/photo lights  or some other video, photo equipment. 
Here is some great video taken with this lens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQNCVtuFzJw -yes, the results are jooooooicyyy !
Any question let me know  
 

Longest title ever for a video! This is a test to see if I can make these cameras feel like film - which one gets closest?
So SHOOT OUT!
CAM A - Sony F35 recording 444 GRB 12 bit DPX files into the Oydssey 7Q+. Slog - gamma. DCI P3+ as Gamut. 180 shutter. 
CAM B - Red One MX recording 4k 16x9. Red DragonColor 2 as gamut and Red Log Cine as Gamma.
Same 50 mm Sony PL lens. 180 shutter on both. Applied same lut to both! Visioncolor impulz Kodak 50.FPE with red log gamma setting to it.
Added gorilla grain.
First leg - normal color correct
2nd leg - pushing color to extreme
My Results:
1. Red One and F35 can match pretty easily - shutter on f35 was less staccato at 180 shutter - maybe at a 144 degree shutter motion can match perfectly
2. F35 can be pushed a heck lot more color wise
3. F35 has better highlight rolloff - very organic. Red one mx looks like how the panasonic hvx200 handles highlights - very video-e
4. Red One has more resolution - shot some test charts to show that
Overall F35 I think matches film a lot more because of how it handles highlights - the motion on it, maybe I need to shoot at 144 degrees to give it a little more choppiness, maybe that would help - anyway it's all personal taste at this point.
And there is super 16mm film shot by Hunter Hampton as the baseline - this is what I want my stuff to look like -I love film.
Let me know thoughts.
 

I buy most of my stuff used. Simply because you get more for your money. And it was during the release of the A7rii and A7sii that I got the idea. Why pay such a premium price for a camera thats going to be worth half within a year? And what can I get for the same amount today?(It was the same reasoning that lead me into my recent film endeavor.) So I found myself looking at used cameras in the €3000 segment. At the top of my list where the Sony F35, but no luck (since I needed a recorder as well). I also looked at URSA, FS700, 1DC etc but none was a perfect match.So I started lurking the Red user forum.There I saw Red Scarlets ready to shoot with accessories for as low as $6000. And when I saw the Red One with everything you need + a set of Rokkinon prime lenses for  a crazy low $4000,I knew it would be the one.  That particular seller didn’t want to ship to Sweden, but another one did. In less than 24h from leaving Spain, this huge box sat on my floor.  (Disclaimer: All IMO of course, totally get why one would rather have an A7rii, its was just my personal thoughts.) 

Great find, would be cool if we often shared finds like this.
