Many cheapest lens seller claim as LOMO, like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/282323819986

Are they really made by the same manufacturer?  

Yes. Can be reworked, but cons yet double focus... On man made mechanic single focus for this lens

As an alternative, it is an interesting variant. Some automation on post for right proportions, when change focus, breathing, one special taking lens, but quite cheap compared to other solutions. And there is no additional optics, which makes its own distortion.

My thread about this ana here

35NAP 2-3M, Sony A7S (fullframe), Samuang 85mm F:1.5.

Sharpness test of 35NAP 2-2, similar to 2-3, 2-3M, 2-4. low light / original / ana

I found a small company that can polish the lenses and apply new coating. The price is around 300 € for spherical lenses. But they are not confident in doing not spherical (e.g. anamorphic) lenses :s

Too expensive as for me, Justin. Better buy another ana lens in good condition for this money   How you progress of rehousing 35NAP 2-3?

Hi, Justin! If you remove coating, contrast falls (your sample compare confirms this) and light streaks not blue as usual, but white. You can find the optical plant that causes coating on optics, and if they do that in your case, also try to clear the full coating and give them for work. I have not yet done, but try as an option.

Hi to all! My friend Juan from France sent me Moller 63/2x, so I decided to remake it as rework other bulky ana projector lenses. First impressions - can work with that lens. Overall weigh of lenses without body around 700 gr. Little lighter than 35 NAP 2-4 / 2-2 (800 gr), and much lighter than 35NAP 2-3m (1 kg). First examples:

In future I'll add examples to the extent possible.

When snowy. Setup the same as on previous msg.

Sorry, I read inattentively the description   I thought that everything was filmed using anamorphic. And I thought, surely there is autofocus ana?.. By the way, generally have autofocus anamorphot, except one diy Arduino sample video?..

How do you shot sharp moving in start of video?

Like here and on YouTube. Very nice!

What are these 2 circular lenses and how will they be used with your verbascope to enhance the focus?

I start to think about the housing for my verbascope with single focus  

please read this thread first

Aaah I see what you mean. I Only wish I had enough money to buy lenses and experiment with it!

Are there any link to any DIY front element mods? Thanks

I maded, but not yet create good body for single focus. and bad diopter. but working!  scheme as on the gif.

I don't think the rangefinder fits on the NAP3-2M, being a very bulky projector anamorphic adapter.

You can make your own single focus for nap2-3m, but big good lenses for single expensive

Disadvantage of this method - change ana ratio, when focusing. in infinity, for example, 2x, near focus less than 2x.

In this way, just have strong breathy effect, not very good for video as focusing unit.  Similar to what I modified as auto focus lens for photography, that is excellent.  But nowadays, most digital lenses are made as internal focus lens, which cannot be used.

 

Someone like this effect  . And first solution in this thread can make breathing effect too in case similar lenses as 35nap 2-3m. It's just one of the possible solutions, each will choose for themselves what is right

There is a way even easier. Without servomotors. My colleague from Russia solved double focus in mechanic. Only difficulty is to calculate the ana attachment moves and the lens. And nonuniversal this method, only one lens may be used. But cool and less bulky than with motors.

So how can I make this? I have the 2-3m but I don't know where to find the parts to make this into a full system? Your custom system looks very polished and secure. Any advice would help, thanks!

 

Hi! In this thread everything is written, which parts, links of them, focusing method, etc, see all thread please. And I don't know your camera, in each case a variant. In two words, you should get lenses from the bulky body. Overall weight of the lenses around 1 kg. After print frames and mounting, insert lenses in frames. Mounting shall be suitable to your configuration. If you find suitable bellows, you can attach them to the frames. If any questions, please welcome.

Hi! Thanks! In my case minimum focus ~40 cm, without bellows (lenses closest) around 15 cm. ratio change from 2x in infinity to ~1.3x closeup

Great work! How close can you focus using the elements from the 35NAP 2-3M?

Fresh videos (2016.11.05) Quality closer & closer :-) First video 4K, I have more time to focusing. Second video Full HD. 35NAP 2-4 | Helios 44-2 | Sony A6300

First owner of Verbascope . My congratulations!

My congratulations! You finally did it!  Waiting for your version of reworked ana 35NAP 2-3

p.s. What is it? Maybe what I say earlier

Caution! WD-40 may ingrained between the cemented lenses... on the pic died lens from another Rectimascop 80/2x. It is not a pity, because she was so dead from fungus. But the possibility may be after WD-40. Maybe yes, maybe no...

It is not a big problem, because center of working area is clear on look.

Just needed a lot of wd-40, a screwdriver, and a BIG HAMMER ! #YOLO #HammersFixEverything
