Clairmont ISCO 140-420mm T2.7 Lens.
This beast is a custom made lens from Clairmont manufactured by ISCO before they were bought by Schneider around the same time they were making optics for NASA. It was made to compete with the Panavision SLZ3 and Hawk 150-450 and in the little booklet of literature it claims to be a TRUE T2.7 all the way through and claims the SLZ3 or Hawk wasn't. In reality the lens ramps just a touch at the long end. It covers full frame all modes on the Venice and Alexa LF OG. Can take the included full set of 58mm internal ND filters to get extra ND on REDs otherwise the custom included 6x6 clip on mattebox can be used.
It is in great shape with minimal flaws, only light coating marks etc from use. Focuses and zooms very smooth especially considering how much glass you're moving. Was serviced by Keslow until sold off. It's properly collimated and hits its marks through the range. Image is phenomenal it performs incredibly. Way less distortion than Angenieux 12:1, in fact it has virtually no distortion. Nice colors with medium contrast and nice flares (lots of glass elements) if you hit it directly, otherwise excellent flare and ghosting protection. No light bleed on hard edges, almost no chromatic aberrations, doesn't breathe at all. An incredibly well performing lens for less than half of what an optimo goes for. It covers full frame 16:9 with no problem. Extremely high quality German engineered optics available for sale for the first time ever.
It comes with a custom lens support made by Ronford Baker that supports the camera and lens on a unifying plate. Lens is abut 43lbs and needs a 2575 or 120ex to balance properly. Perfect for stage performances and night shoots. The custom 6x6 clip on mattebox is also included int eh sale along with a separate rolling accessories case for the baseplate and mattebox. Tests can be set up for serious buyers.
