Thank you all for your feedback. I really appreciate it.

Here's the lens and the metal indentations.

I just got it. It came with a rangefinder. It does have a distance scale so I think you should be able to turn and adjust distance. I tried very hard but it really will not budge. With a range finder, I think it'll be workable. Is this a big deal?

Hi. I just got an Isco Ultra Star Anamorphic Lens (Light Gold Version) & the focus ring will not turn. I tried to pull to unlock or twist but it but wont budge. Is there a locked version or is this lens busted? It is set to infinity. Do you have specific instructions on how to move the focus ring. The seller said that that's how it is & the images he got was fine. Thank you.

Hi guys. I'm new to anamorphic & would like to ask for your opinion about an Isco Ultrastar light gold (1st version) that I'm buying. According to the buyer, the focus ring does not turn & is fixed this way. It is set to infinity. Is there a version of this lens that is locked? Is this normal? Also, the rear end of the lens body has metal indentations due to the screw of the clamp digging in to the metal. If that is the case, is this something that will stop you from buying the lens. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you.
