FS: Iscorama pre-36 incl. 3x Iscorama diopters and more

[Marcel Zyskind]

Selling my pre-36 Iscorama. Bought this in August for a project, but was never used as we decided to shoot spherical. Included in the price are 3x very Iscorama diopters and 55mm, 52mm and 39mm stepup rings so that you can mount this on your own taking lens rather than the included one.
The diopters are 200-100cm, 100-67cm, 67-50cm. The 200-100cm has a scratch on the side of the lens. The Iscorama has a few dust particles inside but nothing that I've noticed when shooting my tests. Included is also the original box.

€3100 includes shipping in the EU. This is less than what I paid for the whole deal in august.

Would you consider selling the diopters separately?

hahahaha @Tito Ferradans  my thoughts exactly!  Looks like diopters specifically for the iscorama!  In my 7 year love affair with the iscorama I have never once seen these -  a +0.5, +1 and +2 matched set of what look like they may be doublets!

[Marcel Zyskind]

Hi guys. At the moment my best selling point for this Iscorama are these diopters, so I'm going to wait with splitting this up. Rich, thank you for your email a few weeks back and sorry I did not reply to it. When there is a chance I would love to try your Trump set! All the best.

[Marcel Zyskind]

And since I'm a honest guy, I would like to say right now that if I was to be using these (original) diopters on the Isco frequently I would use this http://srb-photographic.co.uk/72mm-empty-filter-holder-6975-p.asp between the Isco and the diopter. I find them hard to put on the plastic housing of the isco. All threads are completely fine both Isco and diopters, but they still seem hard to mount. My 72mm Angenieux diopters fit on like a glove though.

Rich, I've seen them on ebay once, but was only able to get the +0.5, It's a doublet indeed.

[Marcel Zyskind]

Bump. Open to reasonable offers.

[Marcel Zyskind]

Don't be shy. It's Christmas and I'm in a good mood.

What mount is on the taking lens - and how is the focus? Stiff or still okay?

[Marcel Zyskind]

I believe it's m42 mount, I'm not sure. My intentions were to use it with my Canon FD's. Regarding the focus, I would say that it is firm but not stiff. But it is not buttersmooth either. This is my first Isco so I have not much to compare to.

[tommykristensen]

Uhhh. I'm tempted.

I have a rehoused one, but miss a little easier setup with a fixed lens. I've been looking for the 2004 for some years - but for some reason they almost never show up on eBay.

5000 Canadian i got 70 dollars with you name on it since you are in Christmas mood and season of giving just think what would Jesus do

[Marcel Zyskind]

Decided to keep this beauty. Don't know what I was thinking about.

Good choice!

[bzpop]

perfect choice, you would miss it like crazy, i know i do, will never sell any glass again

[Marcel Zyskind]

Back up for sale! Decided to invest in other glass and then this must go. In great shape. For sale with or without the diopters.

[Tito Ferradans]

Would you sell the diopters separately? I'm interested in the 100-67 and 67-50.

[Marcel Zyskind]

Tito, I'm happy to spilt the diopters from the Isco. But I'm not going to split the diopters. You can have all three for €500.

Hahahaha, fair enough! Thanks for replying. I still need to do some math here.

HI Marcel, I'm interested in the kit if it's still for sale, I've send you a PM to ask about shipping costs outside europe. Thanks.
