andy lee Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We have been developing this over the past year for use on the Tecnoir Cinema Rig and other generic15mm rod/ rail systems. This Tecnoir Anamorphic lens holder is designed to hold the latest version of Schneider, Isco and Sankor integrated anamorphic lenses. These lenses slip into the lens holder and you can lock the rear of the lens in the holder with the 3 screws on the holder once your lens is correctly alligned horizontally. You then attached this Tecnoir Anamorphic lens holder onto your 15mm rod/ rail system. We have battle tested this with our Canon 5d mkII , Black Magic Cinema Camera, Panasonic GH2 and Canon 550d and 650d. It works great with all these cameras!! Im selling these on ebay right now so you can buy one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230924271472?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 I have a limited amout available on ebay with Isco Ultra Star anamorphic Lenses and Schneider Aanamorphic lenses Isco http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230924246197?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Schneider http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230924217613?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 these lenses are stunningly sharp and the best anamorphics you can buy right now, new sharp modern glass designed to project Hollywood Blockbuster films in Multiplexes Worldwide. With the Tecnoir Anamorphic lens holder you can now use these stunning lenses on your productions The optics are second to none !

dahlfors Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Interesting. I got a red Isco Ultrastar. If I understand this setup correctly - does this mean that you can horisontally align the anamorphic lens once and for all in the holder - and every time you need to use the lens you just slide it in on your rails in front of your lens? My current setup is a bit cumbersome. I have to horisontally adjust the anamorphic with a clamp, which can be quite tricky to get just right. This is very interesting if it means that you'd only have to horisontally adjust the anamorphic once, and could easily switch taking lenses by just sliding the anamorphic forwards & backwards on the rails.

JohnBarlow Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 There is a similar concept here http://www.ebay.com/itm/150977888123?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Interesting.

Yes that is correct once you have alligned the lens correctly you lock it and leave it , you can then just slide the lens on and off your rails That was the whole point of me making this as I was sick of having to re align my lenses horizontally everytime I use them on a job. I have different holders for different anamorphic lenses and I can now just quickly switch fron one anamorphic lens to another easlily and quickly no hassle knowing it is always correctly alligned. richg101 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elubes Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 What are the screws that hold the lens made out of? metal or plastic? metal ones have cosmetically damaged my anamorphics before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuickHitRecord Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Andy, I am not using any of these old Schneider or Isco lenses, but I am curious about how your mount works. Could you post a video clip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy lee Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 These are brand new Schneiders and Iscos the most modern sharpest Anamorphics ever made for projecting Hollywood Blockbuster movies in Multiplexes. The Tecnoir anamorphic lens holder supports all the weight of the anamorphic lens on your 15mm rods and slides right upto your taking lens . You do NOT need a clamp at all between the anamorphic lens or your taking lens. The rear support ring has 3 screws that clamp the rear of the anamorphic lens so you can lock it tight once you have horizontally alligned your lens correctly . No more twisted alignment of your anamorphic. I have 3 different anamorphic lenses in my flight case all on separate Tecnoir Anamorphic lens support systems An Isco, a Schneider and a Sankor all modern new lenses made in the last 5 years. and I just slide which ever one I'm using that day onto my 15mm rod system. Its that simple ! Andy Tecnoir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Cunningham Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 So do you set the taking lens at infinity and then just focus with the Schneider? Or do you have to focus both like most re-purposed projection lens setups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
