mehrpower42 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Today I scored a Bolex Anamorphot 8/19/1,5x for 33 EUR and my Soligor Anamorphot, which I found on Amazon for 45 EUR, arrived! Just wanted to make you guys envy ;-P Now I need a nice taking lens. Thought about a Helios for the Bolex... any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 26, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 26, 2012 Nice deal on the Bolex. I am not sure about the prime myself as I've not used that lens yet. You could try it with the c-mount lenses it was designed for, and I'd say the older and more simple the lens with the less multi-coating as possible will work best, forget the modern Canon and Zeiss stuff.

tony wilson Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 forget it the bolex is a piece of crap.. i am looking for spare bolex moller parts i will trade you a cheese sandwich and a nice soft optex proper anamorphic : ) if you want to keep it for sentimental reasons start with the cheapest helios you can find the moller works well with most stuff being so small. yashica,minolta,pentax any of the older stuff. earlier coatings some of the goodies are in m/42 screw size. gh2 up to 7d will be best use giving you a bigger range of taking lens options. even plastic canon and nikon will look ok with that lens it is a bit of a whore it mates with anything but as i said a lot of trouble the soft optex i have is much easier to use : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richg101 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 there is a guy using a m39 taking lens with the bolex and a sony nex. Apparently getting really good results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehrpower42 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Mr. Wilson, how old would that sandwich be? Thinkin' about your offer... =) What about a Canon FD 35mm? Unfortunately I will go on vacation tomorrow and so I have to wait two weeks before I can start to shoot with those babies =( Andrew, any special c-mount lens you have in mind? Cheers, Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony wilson Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 old canon fd lens are superb. even the late 1980s ones are good. eyemo film crash cameras used on many movies in the 80s and 90s used canon fd. the sandwich i am not sure as it is in a plastic bag because of the smell i do not want to check. so how about a sandwich surprise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
