FilmBrute Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Buying that Isco for $500 ain't much different than buying a Kowa or Sankor for $500. But yeah, rip off either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgharding Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 While everyone is scrambling to remortgage their life for anamorphics, I've found some great prices on spherical cinema glass. this can work to advantage ;) richg101 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzNimbus Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 you have to email them with yr details - they send a bogus Ebay invoice - you pay they run!! Yeah, found one like that a couple of weeks ago trying to sell a "Sony F35." Him: "Give me your info so Ebay can send you an invoice" Me: How about I call you? Can I please get your phone number? Him: I only have my personal number, not my business number. Me: Nice try asshole. Go rip off someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 31, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 31, 2013 Calling it an Iscorama is indeed fraud in my view. Same as listing a $400 Sony NEX 5N under the label 'FS100' and charging $3000 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richg101 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 indeed very cheeky. has anyone reported him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony wilson Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 i assumed he was one of the guys on this site so was looking for a little keyboard banter. was hoping he would explain how he merged the small special iscorama focus optics onto such a big bastard lens :lol: and all for a fraction of the cost of even a faulty iscorama.

tommykristensen Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 What about the Iscomorphot 8/1.5 - would you guys also consider it fraudulent to include "Baby Iscorama"? I'm putting one up for sale soon, and thought about including that, since everyone calls it that, but after reading this post - I guess it could be misleading as well...

tony wilson Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 iscorama was the generic term for the unique complete anamorphic optic with the special 2 front focus optics on the isco system. you will find some fixed focus optics labelled iscoramahttps://secure.flickr.com/photos/34211301@N00/4962962403/in/photostream these where part of a very expensive package called the iscorama set. isco 36 or a 42 and a separate fixed focus projection optic as above plus mounting bits. total shoot and projection system.https://secure.flickr.com/photos/34211301@N00/3898632626/ your lens is fine i think as long as it has the 2 focus front optics i believe i was the one that came up with the term baby for these small things so you can blame me. calling a 2 kg door stop an iscorama is taking the piss.. i do not give a shit really eyes is nots der anamorphosis police :) i just wanted to highlight it so anyone tempted to buy would at least ask the guy some technical questions.
