dr5chrome Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hello- I am totally new to anamorphic and I am still in the study phase. I picked up this huge lens [didnt expect it to be so big]. Seems it will only fill a full frame with a minium 100mm lens, but thats another story. I need to put diopters on the front. I found a set of filters this big but there is no way to attach them, unless I glue an empty ring on the front.. Dose someone sell a filter cap/holder for a lens this big? All the markings are worn off on this lens, but i believe is to be an ISCO lens. Thanks for the help. regards, dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au8ust Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Some 86mm closeup filters should work but they usually come in +1 +2 +3 or +4 strength which might be too much for the lens. To attach one of them, you probably need to get a custom clamp from a local machine shop. One side with 86mm threads or 3 screw holes for holding the clamp to the front of the lens. But believe me, all of these won't worth it. Just sell it or keep it as a (heavy) paper weight and buy a proper anamorphic adapter. Even a Singer/Sankor/Kowa 16-D is still a much better choice. Also, if you haven't, you should watch some beginner videos on Anamorphic on a Budget channel. They should have you get started a lot easier without having to do these trial and error headaches.
