tony wilson Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Sorry guys, the Tokina +0.4 is on its way to me now, going on the end of my Kowa. Just getting into Anamorphic, been waiting months for one of these to show up and was *this* close to buying tferradans' entire Kowa collection (see his other thread) just to get my hands on a +0.5. My GH2 will be very happy, as will my BMC MFT... when it finally arrives. months for a tokina achromat ? i got some new ones and i am in london : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Costello Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 months for a tokina achromat ? i got some new ones and i am in london : ) Ha ha, I gathered that from another thread, but I honestly thought you'd have sold them all by now, Tony. I'm using your awesome clamps, however. Either way, that's good to know and I'm a happy lobster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au8ust Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Anyone knows any 4x4" +0.5 diopter that is available for sale? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/398983-REG/Schneider_68070545_4_5_Water_White_1_2.html seems to be the nearest I'm looking for so far.

Tito Ferradans Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Hey au8ust, I think they don't make 4x4 diopters or any kind of diopters in square formats due to the glass curvature. I have a spare like the one you linked on B&H. Interested? Send me a PM! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au8ust Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just ordered aa Tiffen Professional Series 9 1/2. Will see how it performs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just bought a super cheap achromat (€30 incl. shipping). Minolta No. 0 (+0.94). It's only 55mm, but it might fit on my Iscomorphot 8/2x. http://www.ebay.nl/itm/360592511132?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito Ferradans Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 I actually use a Minolta Achromat 72mm +0.4, instead of the regular Tokina. Never found another one. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tito Ferradans Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Minolta +??, 67mm, for Autopak Super 8 camera. http://www.ebay.com/itm/330915280246 I'm almost sure this is a low power since it wouldn't be of much use to Super 8 shooters if it restricted focus too much. Couldn't find any information on google about it. Ends in 4h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Thanks, hope it's any good, I bought it ;-) I found a manual for Minolta Super 8 camera's, there it mentions a close up filter that brings the focus range from [1.2 - infinity] down to [40 - 50 cm]. Any idea what the power would be based on that information? Tito Ferradans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito Ferradans Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 If I knew you were going for it, I wouldn't even have placed any bids (the $10 was me). :P If that information is correct we have two main possibilities around [40-50cm]. The first one is that this is the MINIMUM focus distance, which would mean a diopter around +1. The second option is MAXIMUM focus distance, which equals +2. I think the first option is more likely to be real, since it would have to be a hell of a shot to need closer focus than 40-50cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito Ferradans Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 I found one.. 10 months to late.. :( http://***URL removed***/forums/thread/3237571 Good to know it exists! Haven't heard of it before. We should keep our eyes open for this lens! Even if you bought the whole pack, it's still only a bit more than half the price of the Tokina!

Julian Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Haha exactly, I already started looking for the 100-500mm lens.. found some with the diopter and asked if they would sell it seperately, they wouldn't and the complete package was rather expensive though.

Julian Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 ttp://mikescamera.com/photographic-filters.html This site lists the Tokina C-up 840 (the 72mm +0.4...) for $39.99.. almost thought I found my luck, emailed them but they don't have 'm anymore.. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
