roccoforte Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 What's the maximum focal length this anamorphot covers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattRozier Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Thanks guys, is the fungus a concern though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 If the fungus is on the front/outside surface of the glass, it can probably be removed easily. If the fungus is on the inside, it should probably be disassembled and cleaned. If you have a trusted camera store in your area they may be able to do it for you. But I think most camera stores won't clean (or will charge more to clean) a lens they are unfamiliar with. For example, the camera shop I go to won't touch some of the obscure and vintage lenses I've brought to them. I'm not familiar with the Bolex 16/32 so don't know if $1500 USD is a fair price. You may want to check around to see what it would cost to have the lens serviced - then subtract that cost from the asking price, and make an offer to the seller. Or, wait until another Bolex comes up on eBay that doesn't have any issues. They don't appear often, but they do appear. Good luck in your search!

Liszon Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I also through the price was a bit too steep for a lens with fungus, didn't imagine it will go away that fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattRozier Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Thanks guys. Yeah I didn't get the Japanese one in the end. I got another which may have another issue (possibly a bit of over zealous polishing on the rear element) but seems in better condition (at least at first glance). Huge thanks for everyone's advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
