DirectorCH reacted to DIGICHombre in Good vintage taking lens ideas between 58mm-85mm
I have a voitlander 75mm f/1.8 that works very well with an anamorphic, specifically Kowa C-35. On full frame Sony A7 series there was no vignetting.
The one big catch is this lens was meant for rangefinder cameras I believe, so slapping it on a foal reducer on a crop sensor effectively turns it into a macro lens, and quite unusable. Haven't yet tried on Canon, or any other body yet. All I know is it needs to get pretty close to the sensor. Great photo lens nonetheless.

biometar is nice but sharpness isn't top notch! lenses with small front element diameter are best for anamorphic use. its the reason everybody use helios 44s , j9 , etc. etc.

DirectorCH got a reaction from Andrew Clunie in Here a few samples with Sony cameras and rectilux
Haha lucky! Yeah saw one go for $80 the other day, then $150. Seems like $200 US is the middle. Some go for $400, who knows, you can never tell with anamorphics they go up and down and up and up and up lol

Cheers! Yes it is all with the SUN... a lot of people overlook that lens for some reason, and I never see anyone talking about it..I personally love it; it flares so beautifully, and is nice and sharp.
I have listed everything including the rectilux/clamps/diopters etc on eBay for £1700, or best offer.

This is probably the most complete database for what is [potentially] out there, in terms of Anamorphic Attachments:

Delved into this for a bit and built a nice set of bloomy organic taking lenses. My picks so far.
Zeiss Biotar 58mm f2 (black m42 version)
- sharp, beautiful bokeh, not too clinical.
Kiev 8b 65mm f3.5 for Salyut 88
- such a hard focal length to find but sometimes it’s perfect. Slow, and so so bokeh, but a nice flat focal length
Meyer Optik Primoplan 75mm f1.9
- essentially the softer, longer cousin of the biotar. Lots of blades, gorgeous bokeh, and a great anamorphic focal length. I got the black reissue used on BH for $1000
and the classic Jupiter 9 for the 85mm. Love the softness.

Here you can find a lot: http://lens-club.ru/lenses/c_1427282.html
It is all in Russian, but google translate can be helpful. It is a huge data-base of all lenses you could imagine.

Biometar is a very good lens. I use an MC version with ISCO. It has a nice bokeh and very sharp for its price. But it’s not easy to find one in a good condition. And I don’t recommend the zebra version. Also I had to change the grease on my lens.

I LOVE my declicked Minolta Rokkor PG 58/1.2 EOS mount - Metabones 0.64XL Speedbooster - Bell & Howell Kowa 2X combo!
I use the great Rapido anamorphic lens clamp V2.
I have also used a Porst 55/1.2 in Pentax K mount.
I would love to try a Leica R Summilux 80/1.4
Always wanted one...
