More comparison footage of the polished and unpolished Moller 32/2. Along with a flair test of the polished moller at the end,
 
 

After reading a facebook post in the vintage lens group, where a member asked about polishing a lens with damaged coatings on the front element, and where the responses were basically, "throw it in the garbage", I decided to make a quick comparison video of 2 moller 32/2 lenses I have.
One is in perfect condition.
The other was one I picked up for cheap.
When it arrived, the front lens cleaning marks were so excessive, it was truly unusable. So I decided to try polishing it.
I used diamond polishing compound 14000 grit, and a dremel with a polishing tool.
Look at the video and tell me which one of these lenses is unusable, and should be thrown in the garbage.

I was itching to make another short film about 2 months ago, but I'm not much of a writer.
Then I found "Script Revolution". A webiste where you can get free scripts offered by the writers.
I'm glad I found this website. I found a great little 3 page script by writer Robert Bruinewoud.
As luck would have it, I found out about the Rode Reel contest, "Make a short film 3. minutes or shorter" right after that. 
Mine ended up being 4 1/2 mins.  So I made a cutdown version.
I'll be releasing the longer version to film festivals around the world.
Shot on the BMPCC 4k using voigtlander primes, Kowa and Moller 16 Amamorphic scopes.
Check it out if you want to.
Vote if you like it.

Just picked up a 75mm f1.8 Heliar, and the 28mm Ultron F2 Version 2. Which will be arriving today.

Just wanted to say, not only is the continued software development and adding of features amazing, but customer service is topnotch as well. 

This is an incredible product & initiative, credits & kudos to EOSHD & @Andrew Reid too! A milestone for the Indie filmmaking movement with standard industry mainstream tools (E :- )

Here's a nice little R1 mount I made with an inexpensive smallrig ballmount.

Can't wait. 🙂

Tons of options.
Depends on what you want to spend nd how wide you want to go.
I have the moller 32 2x, Kowa 8z and a Bell and Howell single focus scope for blue flares.
 

Loving the AFX so far. Can you get the setting for having it upside down, and the offset be made permanent? 

I have one. They're awesome lenses 

Fixed it.
It was the helicoid not being assembled correctly.
I had to disassemble the entire lens and Re-insert the helicoid at a different start position. Took a couple of frustrating hours of trial and error. But now it's tack sharp.
And I saved myself $250

Looks great.
What was the taking lens? 

Could you make an extra preference to flip the screen ipside down, so it's possible to mount the AFX upside down?
