eoskoji Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Folks, Just recently became (again) a proud Iscorama owner and would like to ask for some wisdom and insights here. Here are some pics of my new friend. What can you say bout it? MC? Non MC? The rear element is about 30mm big... mhhh... small. thanks for any advice. koji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au8ust Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Seems to be the original Iscorama which is single coated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahlfors Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yes, that's one of the singlecoated original Iscoramas, one of the first four in the specs here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iscorama#Specifications Mount for taking lens is either: Nikon F, M42, Minolta SR or Exakta.

eoskoji Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 thats good news. got it for a very good price and it looks like it's brand new. Just got me some 49mm rings to adapt to my Helios 55 or Flektogon 35mm. Cant't wait to test this beauty. I used to have an Iscorama 36, which said near the front filter "Iscorama 36" this one doesnt say anything, so I was wondering. thx guys.

Sebastien Farges Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 For how much did you get it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoskoji Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 600usd. Still in box. Guess I will never sell it. Just love that glas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastien Farges Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 DAMNED ! you are very lucky ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au8ust Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Super lucky! I got one Iscorama Cinegon for less than $500 but it has a lot of imperfections :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 @eoskoji: Wow, great... Have much fun with it and take good care! @au8ust: I saw that one either: Hopefully you can fix it! Maybe the backlens can be polished? It looks like its has been opened already and something is missing (you shouldn't be able to see that brass-coloured ring). Would be great if you can bring this very rare lens back to life. This is the best of the small Iscos I think: No MC and 36mm rear. They were made for Schneider taking lenses (10mm F1.8 Cinegon) Some for Beaulieu (C-mount) and Bauer and the best went to Leitz as somebody from Schneider told. I once read here Tony Wilson recommended http://www.super16inc.com/ Hopefully they can help you! Good Luck and keep us informed! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoskoji Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Thanks guys. Just two years ago all my gear (17.000€) got stolen. Insurance didnt pay. Among the equipment my whole ana-collection. (Isco 36, Kowa, Mini Isco, Agfa....)... so I see this as sort of redemption. @Au8ust: Best ask Tony... btw. what happened to re-housing isco project? On Ice? Koji Andrew Reid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
