Hi guys,
Purely an academic question but I'm curious about this lens:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LOMO-Arriflex-20-120mm-f-3-3-PL-Anamorphic-cinemascope-Panavision-Lens-RED-Arri-/121052730025?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item1c2f4e12a9
Ive been interested in anamorphic lenses for a fair while now but never pulled the trigger on buying one. I'm not planing on buying this one ether as its way beyond any price I could justify. But I was interested if any one had any info or opinions about it.
Is it really an Arri lens?
Wouldn't something like this solve the dual focusing issue that many lens + anamorphic adapter combinations have?
Wouldn't it also solve the problem of chasing down an entire set of prime lenses?
Whats that "1,2,3,4,5" Bit behind the aperture on the barrel all about?
Is it an attractive option to you guys? (ignoring the price)
Any thoughts...
