Advice on eBay anamorphic lens listing (No advertising)

[xaviermarysculpture 0]

Hello everybody,
I found this in a secondhand website in Belgium
https://www.2dehands.be/foto-camera/lenzen/overig/isco-optic-anamorphic-lens-440405397.html

Sorry, I'm really new (I buy a first anamorphic (Proskar) last week, and this is my first post).
It doesn't looks like something we can use for filming. But I post It just in case somebody tald me the opposite !

Thanks to welcome me

found this on ebay, wondering if anyone has seen these or used one before ?  has a polymer front lens which i'm inclined to think would mark easy ? seems to be a cheaper single focus solution  with some limits

I'd avoid that eBay seller. Overpriced and poor quality.

Does any of you have an anamorphic sankor 16f lens? I found It in a shop where i live for €120. In case you believe that using this lens with a Canon 518 super8 there would be too much vignetting or it would you be able to get a good result? The Canon lens has a focal length of 9.5 - 47.5mm and an outer diameter of 50mm

Hey,

I've just started looking into anamorphic lenses and adapters and such and it seems like the Elmoscopes are popular as a dual focus setup. What do yall think about this one?

Thanks.

I don't know anything about this one, but keep in mind that popular elmo is elmoscope II (almost same lens as kowas 16H/8Z/B&H)

This is the nicer one, with a less nice price, he is talking about.

Anyone know this seller, or have any thoughts regarding this Sankor 16c?

I'm looking for my first scope, ideally I want something that produces warmer coloured flares/artifacts, but am trying to keep budget down to +- $300 or so. I shoot on a GH5 and have a Helios 44-4, an old Nikkor 50 f/1.8, and a Nikkor 35 f/2—figure I'll use the Helios as my taking lens, and maybe the 35 if it doesn't vignette too badly. Thoughts?

Looks like a legit seller with a legit price for the lens. If you want to go you have to pay. Can't get into Anamorphic much cheaper.

I did, I scooped it up! Should have all parts needed to shoot with it by the end of March. I've been shooting a bit recently with a borrowed SLR Magic Anamorphot 1.33x50... needless to say I'm pretty excited for all these bits and bobs to arrive.

good luck with it then. it nice to see something go to someone in the community :)
