Yell'o Dylan A Lieshout Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I am selling a great anamorphic attachment, including a clamp adapter to 49mm and a +3 DHG diopter. The glass is thrilling. Colors are really warm and it can get really sharp when the diafragma is closed. Very smooth flares and focusses really fluently. You get a 3.6:1 ratio out of it. In my opinion it is way better than the known Bolex attachments. Reason for selling it is that I rent Kowa lenses in a set nowadays. Open to bids from 700 dollars. This is the add on the dutch ebay: http://www.marktplaats.nl/wijzigAdvertentie/m1001007585.html?c=d721e818194200feca4409741512b6e6&previousPage=mympSeller Located in Amsterdam. Local pickup possible. I send internationally. email: jellelieshout@me.com , phone: +31 6 1017 2042 footage shot with a Helios 44m (so would perform even better with a better prime) and the diafragma wasnt closed to the max.

valid Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 How does it perform when the taking lens is wide open? Is it soft? CA? Yell'o Dylan A Lieshout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yell'o Dylan A Lieshout Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Thanks from your response. yes, they all are. At least the ones that were meant as projection lenses. Same for the bolex and the iscorama's that are below 2k. the cheapest lens I know that is an independent anamorphic lens that can be mounted to a prime lens is the 3k iscorama. That one has single focus and is sharp with the prime lens wide open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yell'o Dylan A Lieshout Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Yes, you are right. But that isnt a baby lens. That thing is huge! The canon is a baby, like the Bolex. + that lens doesnt focus to infinity / can't get even closer than 2.5 meters. these lenses/attachments all have their flaws in that they have a certain distance where they focus sharp and get softer quickly when the subject gets closer or further. When you close my canon you could see it as having everything in hyperfocal focus from 1m - infinity. That's where this lens shines. Very very sharp closed down with the diopter. By the way: the clamp adapter has another step-up ring attached to 52mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yell'o Dylan A Lieshout Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 just did a test wide open and all of a sudden I noticed that it does get incredibly sharp, but that the depth of field gets so shallow that you dont see easily on what it focusses. Only used it for landscapes and stages, so never noticed that. I can get a subject at 1 meter very sharp with the prime lens wide open! You know what? I will try to make a video tomorrow of the sharpness wide open! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Paired correctly an S8 isn't really that big (bigger than a bolex for sure, mind you that's also a 1.5x). S8 does focus to infinity and can be used as a focus through if stopped down as well. With diopters you can also get as close as you want. With a VD (RF, SLR) you can mod it to infinity and use it wide open, focus from infinity to about a meter. Not saying your lens isn't good, merely pointing out that there are also other lenses that are sharp wide open. I also have a similar lens to your Canon but made by Kowa.

Yell'o Dylan A Lieshout Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Kowa and Canon from the 70's are in the same ballpark indeed . I use the real prime anamorphics by Kowa once in a while and they are really warm and lovely. Not the shapest, but DAMN how nice they focus between distances. New vimeo demo tomorrow!

Yell'o Dylan A Lieshout Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 No diopter used. When you close it to a point between f2 and f2.8 it gets really sharp. Footage is with the diafragma wide open (f2). Very shallow depth of field, even near infinity. Shot of book was at 1,5 meter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Agreed, Kowa lenses have a lovely look. What taking lens did you use for the above video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yell'o Dylan A Lieshout Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Bought it for 1050 without all the options, so really a bargain. this is the ad: http://www.marktplaats.nl/a/audio-tv-en-foto/fotografie-lenzen-en-objectieven/m1001007585-canon-c-8-scope-2x-3-6-1-anamorphic-lens-weggevertje.html?c=8c285449651fa109c354bbabe740c1b&previousPage=lr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
