toggen Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 :D Hi people! Back again. got this LOMO Foton-A+0,8m …. [attachment=406:20120311_141400_s copy.jpg] ( close up attachment only ) Is it as good as LOMO Foton-A+1m ? (weaker,right? That´s good?) Burning my brains out to get it attached to a Panasonic 7200, A heavy&big piece of glass,that Lomo! (Yeah, i do know about this "The Matteblox Anamorphic" from cinetachtics,but - as i said Lomo is HEAVY! guess it´ll smash to the ground ) Thanks,Toggen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony wilson Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 that is gonna get smashed fella : ) the mattebox you mention is flimsy... you m,ight wanna try to convert an old film mattebox ex rental. or make something up from used parts. one of the reasons these are rare is that the 16mm and 35mm film guys dropped plenty of these in the 80s and 90s and in 8 out of 10 tests when dropped on the floor they shatter. this needs to be part of a support system on bars,pushed forward close to the panny. having it connected to the plastic of that lens is suicide. since your optic is pretty rare if you can shoot a couple of tests would love to see this. i had one years ago but it had ripple rainbow compression marks through it where some one had dropped it : ( also you might want to do some tests with a spherical lens first to check the magnification.. some of the ukraine glass is different magnification than stated on the metal work engraving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toggen Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks Tony! Quoting Tony Wilson: "one of the reasons these are rare is that the 16mm and 35mm film guys dropped plenty of these in the 80s and 90s and in 8 out of 10 tests when dropped on the floor they shatter." Horror film situation! Really when i think about it, i might as well sell/trade it... Saving up for the upcoming new Leica M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuickHitRecord Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hmmm yea, i know. but hey - " the lomo anamorphic lens and want a complete system" do you happen to know which one, or ones that fit the Lomo?! Thanks I think these were made for Lomo Foton-A Anamorphic zoom lenses. If it is in good condition, you might get some good money for this.

toggen Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks QuickHitRecord, good info! So i will buy me an Lomo Foton-A Anamorphic zoom lens... Joking aside, i´ll ask Olex services for advice , maybe he got some ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony wilson Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 yup that is it Lomo Foton-A Anamorphic zoom lenses. depends on the day of listing could be real good or a car crash. the main issue is that many of them was super thick dense heavy single element optics so not a lot of correction. like an achromatic doublet so the weight is pointless and a little bit of a problem for skate boarding and helmet cam cinemascope shooters. with the camera the foton and the close up you then need a concrete neck brace and titanium spine support to take the weight of your head camera : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
