Do you know of anyone using a zoom close up with these babies, like the old HOYA units back in the day - typically 1-10 diops of zoom

 

They are cheap to buy so crap for stills but maybe useable for vids

I had one of those once: http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/741-isco-gottingen-anamorphot-15x-not-to-be-confused-with-iscormorphot-15x

 

That was a focus-through design and very difficult to work with. You have to reposition the camera to focus. The Iscomorphot 8 1.5x is very easy to use (fully rack-focusable and has a minimum focus distance of about 2.5'), as long as you keep your aperture above f/5.6.

I have one of those too. It forces me to use an even longer lens to avoid vignetting and is only useful for extreme close ups and macro shots. I haven't used it since I bought it.

My Iscomorphot 8/1.5 came with an itty-bitty little clamp. Trouble is, the rear thread is 22mm and, as far as I'm aware of, no stepping rings are anywhere near that small (Anyone know of any?).

 

I would really like to get that redstan clamp though, badass little combo.

@Ben I don't think that you are going find any step rings small enough. Redstan has a clamp, or you can do what I did (see last page).

Where would I get the redstan clamp? It's not on his ebay or website. Would I have to order it custom?

Yes, just tell him which lens you have and he will know which clamp you need. Send him an email or contact him through this site (here, he goes by 'Tony Wilson').
