artiswar Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 So I've been on the hunt for a small anamorphic, at an insanely cheap price and I think that happened today. Snagged this little guy for $120 shipped. Any info? I believe I've seen it before, specifically from Tony Wilson on here. Optics look a bit dirty, but we shall see.

JohnBarlow Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 That's the second in the series of six. Identified by the side baffles in the front optic; version one was all round. Be careful opening it up - IIRC there are 61 ball bearings in the focusing system, 1/8" if you lose any :) Also the inside coating is delicate - any rubbing will remove it.

How would you recommend going about cleaning then? And I assume this is 2x? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBarlow Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Just follow the advice from this thread '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> when cleaning test a small area out of sight first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ievgen Shylov Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Could you describe it in use? It seems this one has not a focus ring, so the taking lens probably should be able to focus through. Am I right? Therefore what it the closest focus distance and what taking lens min focal length required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBarlow Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Its a dual focus attachment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ievgen Shylov Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Its a dual focus attachment Thank's for the reply! Maybe you know it's closest focus distance and lowest possible apperture as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBarlow Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 MFD is 1m and it works with 1.8/50mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artiswar Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Just got it in the other day and it is clean as all get out. Some smudges but no fungus. Waiting on my painfully back ordered BMPCC to arrive and then hopefully I'll get some tests up. Gorgeous lens and this one seems to focus just past 1m. Fingers crossed.
