LOMO Foton-A+0,8m versus LOMO Foton-A+1m

[toggen]

:D    Hi people!

 Back again. got this LOMO Foton-A+0,8m ….   [attachment=406:20120311_141400_s copy.jpg]

( close up attachment only )

 

Is it as good as LOMO Foton-A+1m ? (weaker,right? That´s good?)

Burning my brains out to get it attached to a Panasonic 7200,

A heavy&big piece of glass,that Lomo!

(Yeah, i do know about this "The Matteblox Anamorphic" 

from cinetachtics,but - as i said Lomo is HEAVY! guess it´ll smash to the ground )

 

Thanks,Toggen

that is gonna get smashed fella : )
the mattebox you mention is flimsy...
you m,ight wanna try to convert an old film mattebox ex rental.
or make something up from used parts.
one of the reasons these are rare is that the 16mm and 35mm film guys dropped plenty of these in the 80s and 90s
and in 8 out of 10 tests when dropped on the floor they shatter.
this needs to be part of a support system on bars,pushed forward close to the panny.
having it connected to the plastic of that lens is suicide.
since your optic is pretty rare if you can shoot a couple of tests would love to see this.
i had one years ago but it had ripple rainbow compression marks through it where some one had dropped it : (

also you might want to do some tests with a spherical lens first to check the magnification..
some of the ukraine glass is different magnification than stated on the metal work engraving

Thanks Tony!

Horror film situation!

 

Really when i think about it, i might as well sell/trade it...

Saving up for the upcoming new Leica M!

[tony wilson]

put a link up if you sell..

they have gone for big money before.

panasonic guys but also by  the red guys that have the lomo anamorphic lens

and want a complete system

[toggen]

I think these were made for Lomo Foton-A Anamorphic zoom lenses. If it is in good condition, you might get some good money for this.

[toggen]

Thanks QuickHitRecord, good info!

 

So i will buy me an Lomo Foton-A Anamorphic zoom lens...

Joking aside, i´ll ask Olex services for advice , maybe he got some ideas!

[tony wilson]

yup that is it Lomo Foton-A Anamorphic zoom lenses.
depends on the day of listing could be real good or a car crash.
the main issue is that many of them was super thick dense heavy single element optics so not a lot of correction.
like an achromatic doublet so the weight is pointless and a little bit of a problem for skate boarding and helmet cam cinemascope shooters.
with the camera the foton and the close up you then need a concrete neck brace and titanium spine support to take the weight of your head camera : )
