  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

So i have one of these rare guys, Its super cool but it really just sits on the shelf. I feel like it needs a less neglectful home. it covers a Full Frame sensor so you can shoot with the 5d or with the dragon.


its a m42 mount which is basically a simple still screw mount. I use it with an 8 dollar adapter off ebay to eos and it works beautifully on a canon dslr or canon mount red. they also have m42 to PL if you want to pay a bit more on ebay.


with it comes
its original ISCO cap thats a 72mm,
random m42 rear cap
a 72 to 77mm adapter,
Three 77mm diopters a +1 +2 +4 (kinda close, really close and "Leone wild west eyes only close")
blank 77mm cap

it recently was checked out from "the iscorama" guy john at focalpointlens for a stiff iris at 2.8 he tightened a internal screw that came loose and says its good to go for many years. It's currently sitting at Matthew duclos shop. They were brokering a deal but they couldn't preform a rehouse so the buyer dropped out. They put it on the optical projector it's sharp and focuses at infinity but close focuses at 7 instead of 6 feet. They aren't sure if it's my cheap 8 dollar mount or not but hey not shabby for a anamorphic lens.


Phill Holland sold his nikon version a while back for $3300 (lots of cool info in this thread)

i never pulled tape on the lens but infinity worked fine so i just went with it. i blame my cheapo m42 mount i bought a new one just havent got the lens back to test it.

have you measured your close focus or are you just reading the 6ft off the barrel?
