import antigrav

I recently purchased a Sankor 16-D on eBay for my first anamorphic lens ever (yay!). However, upon receiving it I did notice a small amount of fungus on a couple of the inner elements. I'm not sure if it's affecting the image quality yet, I shot some test footage that wasn't very sharp but that could be due to it not being an Iscorama. Is it possible to take the lens apart and remove the fungus with a solvent or something? If so, how hard is it to accomplish?

Who would be interested in Optical Flares presets for anamorphic adapters/lenses? I've already made one for the Anamorphot 2x with the range finder, using Tito's video as a reference. Anamorphot 2x.ofp

I found this Kowa 16D: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-KOWA-Prominar-Anamorphic-16D-16-D-w-Screw-Thread-Japan-DSLR-Mirrorless/112382832644?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D40130%26meid%3D9118f243b7bd4b08bbeced48d19d9f9f%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D142360729387 Is this the same as the Sankor 16D, just sold by Kowa?

I apologize for my ill-informed comment above; I have a real question now. As I'm sure everyone is aware, many anamorphic lenses sold on eBay are unusable due to their near focusing distance being on the order of 50 feet. Would using a stronger diopter be able to fix this?

Hello all, I'm looking around on eBay by searching "achromatic diopter", and it seems like all of the achromatic diopters from Century are hundreds of dollars. There's a used +2 one for $120, but I doubt a +2 would be that useful.
