Isco4All Set - Worth it?

[Zack Birlew]

Hey, everybody, I happened to be looking around at some anamorphic options and saw the Isco4All lens set at B&H for about $10K. No listings for just the new adapter but has anybody tried the set out? Is it worth it? How does the new adapter compare to the old Isco 54? Are the spherical lenses in the set any good? Any direct comparisons amongst the cine lens competition?

I think the value proposition of getting the rather good and compact Dulens primes with the added benefit of the 1.5X attachment is a good value proposition. Comparing them squarely against the Mercury primes from Atlas Anamorphic reveals that they are very, very different looks and character.
