yannis.zach Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It is a Bell & Howell. It looks like a Bolex as you say, but it's also looks like Sankor/Singer (16D & 16F), but all of them are having the exact same design, so made maybe under the same company...

ken Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Kowa is just a brand name, no only one type, usually said 16H. Agree this is similar to 16D. But 16f is much smaller(around 300g), not likely from the picture. Check gg again, this might be Kowa 16S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony wilson Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 it was made by sankor it is a 16d kowa was better than sankor sankor is still good the smaller 16f and 16c are nice as well kowa stuff should cost more money than sankor today as it was in the film super 8 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosimo murgolo Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 @ tony wilson I hope you don't mind Tony if I ask you about the animex s8/2x, I was reading on this forum that you were working on something for the Iscomorphot. have you managed to complete your work or is still in progress? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony wilson Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 it was a single focus system for that super sharp iscomorphot lens another one of my old failed projects. not good for 5d sensors but 7d down it was sweet. that optic is better kept safe in the future who knows people might like the idea of something fairly modern and small like the animex that can do proper focus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame, I thought I could use it on a 5d. I can always borrow my friend's 60d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony wilson Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 it will work on a 5d you just end up with longer taking lens these lens will be handy in the future as the cameras get smaller like the a7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the weight is better. I am happy both ways. Thanks!! I appreciate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 For using with 85mm, Kowa 16h is perfect, but ISCO integrated lens merely works. Cosimo murgolo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice! think about it please!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
