JohnBarlow Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Pre ambleAs you all know, the Schneider Cinelux anamorphic is a 2x CinemaScope consisting of 4 glass elements in a 2 group configuration, in optical shorthand 4e/2g, using some exotic glass like Schott SF55 and such. It is primarily designed for flat-projection spherical taking lenses.Currently the only significant support for the single focus 1.5x aesthetic is wholly owned by the Iscoramas, although Rectilux will support the 1.5x Bolex/Mollers, shortly.DescriptionHowever, sitting on a computer in my design office is a computation for a 1.5x Cinelux.....The 1.5x Cinelux requires optics to be fabricated to perform this feat of engineering and will be rehoused in a smaller casing approximately 2/3 length from 105mm, the current length at infinity focus.PricingI have run the numbers and I can give an approximate pricing based on a 50 customer payload.Price is 300-350 GBP and of course you will need to purchase a Cinelux 2x as a donar lens.It will be a self assembly deal.My responsibility will be to provide interested parties with the housings, additional optics, mountings and assembly guides.The 'MiniLux' as i refer to it, will be compatible with Rectilux 3FF-W, single focus attachment as standard. The extra shortness and lightweightedness is of course a bonus.If you are interested, please register your interest below or via this email, john@transferconvert.co.ukbest Tito Ferradans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito Ferradans Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I'm curious about it. I like this kind of thing, made of bits and pieces from other things. JohnBarlow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
