Tr3n4rT Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Gooday, As I'm retiring from the video making world, I'm selling my gears and equipment. Among this equipment I'm selling in this post my full set for and with a Berthiot Hypergonar (aka THE Baby Hypergonar). With the help of a friend, an active member of this forum, ressources I have found here on EOSHD and the Anamorphic Facebook group, I've been able to pull out a very nice set for this gem a few years ago. For that reason I decided to annonce the sale here and on the Anamorphic Facebook group at a fix price, a few days before puting it on ebay. Feel free to contact me for any question or enlightenment concerning this set. The set : This set is composed of : - Taking lens : Helios 44M-4 58mm F2 - Housing/Clamp : Metal jacket by redstan - Anamorphic lens : Baby Berthiot Hypergonar - Rangefinder : SLR Magic Rangefinder Anamorphic lens : Berthiot Hypergonar aka Baby Hypergonar Weight : 45gram Working condition : very good (considering this is a vintage lens). No fungus. Few cosmetic scratches on the metal body witnesses of time. No scratch on glass. One of the smallest anamorphic lens available. 1.75X crop factor Anamorphic housing/clamp : Metal Jacket specially made by redstan for this lens Heavy (210 grams) and robust metal to safely house the Baby Anamorphic. Comes in 2 pieces : 1 - The red part act as a bolt and is made to screw the anamorphic lense into it, once inside the black part. Once attached, the red part (and therfore the anamorphic) can be turn for beeing oriented and then fixed with a screw on the side. 2 - The black part (housing) protect the lense. It is 72mm front filter thread and 52mm back filter thread. Taking lens : Helios 44M-4 58mm F2. This lens is an M42 mount. Note if you are an EOS/Canon camera user, a M42 to EOS silver adaptator can be provided for a few more euro (not inclued in final price below) Working condition : very good (concidering this is also a vintage lens). Very few cosmetic scratches on the body. No scratch on the glass. A few spots of dust, inside the lense could be visible in bright light at naked eye that become invisble once on camera. Iris is in F stops with notch. Focus control is strong and slow but fluid. Convenient for keeping the taking lens on infinity and control then the focus with the rangefinder. When doing the focus, the moving part on this lens is external. When put on infinity, the lense is at it’s minimum and can grow to almost a centimeter at near/0,5 focus (see pictures). The front filter thread is 52mm. Rangefinder : SLR Magic Rangefinder Very good working condition, no scratch on the glass nor the body. No dust. The Rangefinder body is made of strong metal and the focus notch ring of good quality plasic. Note this is the unmarked version of the brand. The focus goes from "Normal" to "Near". Like the Helios taking lens its moving part are external. Therefore the rangefinder extend to a maximum of almost a centimeter from Normal (no expansion) to Near (maximum expansion). The focus is smooth and easy but not loose. The focus run is about 270°. 82mm front filter thread 72mm back filter thread.
