I poured like $4000+ into this lens and don't need it. Sent it to the late Bernie at Super16 as well as others to repair a stiff focusing ring.
After many repairs, it works well but the focus rings seems a bit farther forward (though it focuses correctly) than my other Iscorama. Smooth focus, a little play when focusing, not sure what that is about. But overall works great and optically very good except tiny bits of separation at the edges of some elements, consistent with most anamorphic lenses of this age.
Includes Nikon lens that I had collimated.
$1800 plus shipping. I need the money for a move. It's worth more. Will miss this lens. Can include Proxiscope adapter and/or diopters for extra money. (Proxiscope is $300 extra, a steal.)
