Iansanity Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I have the opportunity to buy a kosaka ka298 for ~$40. Is it practical for use on a t3i? (I've read it's very heavy and large) Is this worth it or at a price where I could resell it for more? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Copoeru Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Don't buy it, it's huge and impractical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel Copoeru Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I believe that these big projection lenses have an non-quantifiable value. They probably were (and new ones are) very expensive, but outside theater projection use they are quite useless or impractical, just as an iscorama would be to a non-anamorphic shooter (who would probably find its current price range unfathomable). So you need to ask yourself how much it is worth to you. For experimenting and such, pay as low as you can, but I would recommend not buying it altogether. I once purchased a humongous rectimascop 64/2x lens, my first anamorphic, for around the equivalent of $20, just because I was curious to see the squeeze and stretch effect for myself, before getting to the better lenses. Dandiest paperweight I ever bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
