Up for sale is the incredible Iscorama 42. I thought I'd never let this one go, but guess what?
Single focus operation, a little bigger than the 36, the sharpest of all Iscos, multi coated. Front thread is 82mm and rear thread is 67mm. Glass is absolutely perfect, no scratches, no blemishes, no fungus or separation.
Minimum focus is 2m, but that's solved by the complete achromat set that goes with it (SLR Magic +0.33, +1.33 and +1.8), they're all 77mm and I'm including an 82-77mm step down ring.
I added a custom-made seamless focus gear to it, that covers the entire span of focus - the front element travels quite a bit, so you're ok while using follow focus too. It also comes with a Redstan clamp at the back, with rear thread of 58mm to attach to taking lenses. Super high quality.
The ONLY defect in this lens is the fact that the alignment ring is missing its rubber strip. It came like this when I got it, and it never had any effect in my use of it (I actually took months to realize it was missing).
It's vignette free from 50mm and up on full frame (you can get away with a 40mm pancake), and around 35mm on S35. Stretch is 1.5x, which leads to slightly longer-than-cinemascope final output when shooting 16:9
