landulf Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Bought the schneider ES Cinelux Anamorphic 2x MC. But today I got over a schneider ISCO Ultra Star Cinemascope Integrated 70mm Anamorphic 35mm for 50€. So my question is, which one to go with and which one to sell?

dahlfors Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Both are projection lenses with double focus and both will require some kind of rig to setup. To adjust focus on the Schneider you need to turn a screw - and that's something I certainly wouldn't want to hassle with if I used it on a camera rig. The Ultra Star focuses by rotating the outer part, just like a normal camera lens. 2x bokeh looks nice, but I'd still save my money for an 1.3x slr magic anamorphic instead of spending too much money on these; the setup and workflow with that one will be so much better. Hence I'd suggest trying to find some affordable setup for rigging Schneider/Ultra Star up to you camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated, much easier to focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
