Liszon Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 The price is a bit steep I think. They go £1300-1600 on Ebay nowadays. Cosimo murgolo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenCoughlan Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Lizson. These are all different from what I am selling. The top one is a 54 and is multicoated. The 36 is similar, again multi coated which in my humble opinion is less desired (we all want that flare). Plus it does not have the original Nikon taking lens included which will always help you with resale value. Fell free to look elsewhere on ebay, you might grab a bargain. Im simply giving you a price I think is fair and that I saw one go for recently. Tommy, The lens is in great condition. No scratches, fungus, etc etc. Are you UK based. You are welcome to have a look. Will also chuck in a Helios 58mm taking lens for free. I have no need for it once the isco is gone. Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liszon Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Sure mate, good luck with the sale. The Nikon taking lens is handy indeed. Regarding the flares, I always preferred multi coated lenses (the new SLR Magic flares horribly in my opinion) but that's just my taste. That Isco 54 was a terrific buy, you can't deny that. The Cinegon I linked is actually single coated, probably like yours although it has a c-mount taking lens.Again, good luck and happy new year!

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted December 31, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 31, 2014 Somebody got a serious bargain with the Cinegon one. That thing is ultra rare. On that Iscorama movie camera vanishingly rare in fact. Also the Cinegons were the earliest of all the Iscoramas and perhaps the nicest looking. Great flare.Good luck with the sale Ben!

Lucian Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The price is a bit steep I think. They go £1300-1600 on Ebay nowadays.Price is actually pretty reasonable. 4k US is about right, only one of your links is for a 36 and there is mention of "leaked" putty in the description. The only listings on ebay.com for decent looking 36s currently are 4k (starting bid) to 7k USD.As andrew said, let us know when you see a 36 for £1300, i'll buy it! I'll buy ten at that price, especially if they come with the tokina achromat as Ben's does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rental houses are dictating the buy it now prices. the guys with enough time to sit at the computer and snipe are the ones who get the irregular bargains. People are paying silly prices, but probably paying with a company credit card knowing 10 days of hire will pay for the lens outright.
