I noticed the presence -albeit slightly- of aliasing in the corners of the blocks. Oh well, I guess we can't have everything...

it was one of my ex nasa lens i had 5 or 6 isco 54s 4 of them where from white sands missile test range in new mexico. the lens i sold ages ago was very sharp mint condition lens all gone now but here is a foto   http://www.flickr.com/photos/34211301@N00/5096919478/

Since I've seen there's a few people in here still looking for Iscoramas - I spotted an Iscorama 54 for sale at a price around 20.000 swedish crowns (SEK), which is roughly 2300 euro, in southern Sweden.   It is an ad on Sweden's largest photo forum, fotosidan.se: http://www.fotosidan.se/classifieds/view.htm?ID=202418   Basically he says that he is selling Iscorama 54 in mint condition with redstan lens clamp, and that it was bought from redstan. Maybe our guy Tony Wilson knows more about this?   He also lists a website on his fotosidan profile, which looks like his portfolio: http://www.frankvfx.com/   Unfortunately it's not in my part of Sweden. But if you live in Europe and are really interested in getting an Iscorama, I'd suggest that you get in contact with this person and travel to Sweden to see the lens in person (to avoid scams). Trip included to Sweden - it's probably far better price than these insane prices people demand on ebay these days!   (I've myself bought quite a lot of second hand photo gear through this fotosidan.se forum, and I've been happy with that site. My scam radar doesn't give me any warnings on this ad or person, but I'd still suggest that you go to meet up if you want to buy something this expensive...)   (...and just to make it clear: I have no connections to this ad/person whatsoever. I just check the used lenses and items people sell on the fotosidan.se site, and I stumbled upon the Iscorama)

Got a tip from a friend!   Kodak Retina TII/60 are 60mm diopters, single element, +0.25. Pretty common on ebay, and cheap too. Take yours before they disappear! :)   From the Kodak Retina Reflex Manual : The 135 mm. lenses can also focus on distances nearer than 14 ft. For this purpose a TII/60 supplementary is used for close-ups between about 13 and 7 ft
