woopax Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 This Kowa looks exactly like the 8Z / 16H models, which I both owned. However it doesn't have the 8Z / 16H marking. Its condition is like new, seems like it was never used (I also never used it). Glass is perfect! comes with both caps. Price is 450€ for Paypal. Free worldwide shipping. Please write me with your email address if you want a better quality pics of the lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woopax Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 This lens is in a new condition, that makes a big difference and the price is fair. There are MANY Kowa's which sold for much more. So please people (araucaria, ken) mind your own business, no one forces you to buy anything. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kowa-Bell-and-Howell-Anamorphic-Lens-2x-Iscorama-Prominar-8z-16H-Tested-/181473190289?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item2a40a52191 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kowa-Prominar-16H-8z-2x-Anamorphic-Lens-kit-with-Vid-Atlantic-Lens-Clamps-/151369767726?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item233e575b2e&nma=true&si=%252FvLUaT0b9WSuC4GL4HQP8mmYe5M%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 yannis.zach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkor Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 The one that got sold also were in new condition, you probably bought one of these. Just put it on ebay for 600$, there you won't get any comments of people hinting about much better deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody that posts here needs to get your or anyones else's approval for the prices they offer... But I guess you simply have nothing better to do with your time. Good luck with it.

Nikkor Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Haha, the fact is that I can post this if I want to, and it only takes me a couple of seconds. And no one is disaproving your price, just saying that these lenses have started to be going for much less (iscoramas are cheaper now too, even if you see some offerings for 9000€).

tony wilson Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 one of the links above that was given as proof of cheap perfect optics was a kowa with optical damage. just because someone says a rainbow like bloom across the optic has zero effect does not mean it is true. repairing seperation is either possible or not but it will be expensive. an optically mint condition kowa should be worth more than an slr magic as the kowa is superior to 1.33 or the new 2x. the kowa is a great optic one in mint condition fully tested should be valued higher than some vague ad giving false information about condition. the massive amount of bell howells floating around dual focus issues has damaged the market for kowa. optically panasonic,slr magic,optex and century are all inferior optically and analogue esthetically. 400-500 euros for a guaranteed optic hollywood quality seems ok to me.

woopax Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks Tony, I couldn't agree more. There is nothing new out there that can compete with the image quality and character that you get with this vintage glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
