Hi Shapour , im in indio, ca .
just about an hour or so east of pomona ca.
 
Would this lens cover 4 k in scarlet.
also do you have any footage or frame capture with ths lens?
 
Hiya ,
Yes , this lens more than covers 4k in scarlet .
I would imagine it covers 5k .edit!!! it only does 5k above 30mm to 100mm!!
it does 4.5k in red mx .

I dont have anything to pop on here right this second .
of this particular lens .
I could shoot a iphone pic of something in the nle perhaps .
My post skills are meager at best , but i could try in the near future to post some
if the lens doesnt sell right away . Its on ebay also , for a bit higher price .

these were used alot , on band of brothers .
And mony other films from the 80's on up .

This has no scratches , fungus or marks or dust .

I like that your local , as you could personally inspect it , before paying .
Non local buyers are ok too . :)

hope this helps
. I might sell a mb14 that i use with this also in a few weeks

for sale again . pending sale fell through
 
I have one like this and unfortunately does not cover 5K.
But it is a Great Lens. Great Look. Great Booke.
Cheers from Brazil
 
Chad,
what camera have you used your cook zoom with?
any way you can post a frame or a video?
 
I used it with red mx's at 4 and 4.5 k
i am not able to post any footage or stills , sorry too busy , but I think you can google tests with this lens and Vimeo , you tube has clips.
its been a very popular lens for a long time , even so , I would not buy any lens . if you are not familiar with it's " look"
It's a big purchase , and I regret selling it allready , and actually if I'm able to cross collateralize some other gear tomorrow .
the I will probably pull it from eBay and from sale here.
 
bump price lowered to 4600.00 on ebay with more pictures see top post for link
 
The lens is absolutely a gem. Some backlight and you have an instant 80's look!

It does not cover 5k, until in the mid 30's. Makes sense that it may cover 4,5k, as that is such a narrow format, but it vignettes heavily at 20/5k, at. 4k/4khd (s35) it works exactly as it should.

The lens has a very gentle and cool punch and somehow looks a lot sharper than it really is.

Love this piece of glass.
 
I know , I really hate selling it .
Thanks for the clarity on 5k , I have yet to shoot 5k .
im selling all that gear to go epic :)

If at all possible ,I want to keep the lens .
maybe it's an omen , that the sales fall through.
thanks much
