migssotto Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 LOMO 35NAP2-3M and Rathenover Optische Werke Rectimascop Does anybody have experience with these two lenses? On Ebay, these lenses are very common, cheap, and are often in very good condition. I haven't seen posts indicating it's minimum focusing distance and optical performance in general. Though it should be an indication that despite the accessibility of these lenses, not much footage has been seen, that these lenses aren't exactly the best out there. However, for someone like me starting out, I'd rather try shooting anamorphic with a cheap lens rather than saving to invest in an expensive one right away. I live in the Philippines, and there is no place here where I can have anamorphic lenses rented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you happen to know its minimum focusing distance? I'd rather a lens with at least 2m and below.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
