Hey guys!

So, I'm selling my last remaining anamorphic lens. It's a pretty good piece of glass, and rare too, one could say. Great shape, no dents, dust, scratches or fungus. Never sold anything on REDUSER, but have sold about 10-15 anamorphics over DVXUser and EOSHD.

Paypal only. In case of questions, PM me here or shoot an email to ferradans@gmail.com

LOMO 35OPF18-1 OCT-19 20-120mm T/3.3 + Anamorphic rear (2x stretch, cinema lens)

Humongous beast, one of the most beautiful lenses I've come across. Due to it's size and weight, it's impossible to use it without proper support. Has a great zoom range, parfocal, and is very fast, at T/3.3. It also has a 'magic' macro ring at the back, which allows focusing on objects touching the front glass. This macro ring also works with the anamorphic back attached. Has gears on both focus and zoom rings. All rings (aperture, zoom, focus and macro) are VERY smooth, and optics are great. The one regard is

The kit comes with the rear anamorphic adapter (very rare too), but it needs some work: images are very blurred when it's put behind the lens. I was going to ship this to Olex first, but then decided to sell it as it is, just because I need the money faster.

Lens comes in an incredible russian aluminum case, in which it fits perfectly. Both spherical lens and anamorphic back are OCT-19 mount, but can be easily converted to PL, to be used with modern cameras.

Lens front diameter is 15cm, length is 35cm without the anamorphic back, 38cm with the back. Weight is between 5-6kg
Serial: 880009
Serial for the back: 860025

There are some samples here (this is my personal blog, it's in portuguese but all images in this post were made with the LOMO - except the comparison between the LOMO and a 70-200, of course)

This one too, demonstrating the power of the macro ring. 20mm, the gun was almost touching the front element.

I don't have any pictures with the blurring, since it was pretty unusable, but I can snap some if you like. Olex (from Olex Cameras in Ukraine, major LOMO maintenance and repair guy) said that the back could be fixed for about 150 euro.

Unfortunately I don't consider selling it without the back. It would just hang around here forever.

US$3200 shipped.
(I am also aware that this is a very fragile lens, and will ship it properly, locking both focus and zoom rings with tape, to avoid damage during transport.)

I took some samples for a potential buyer, and I'm also sharing them here. The results are pretty obvious: anamorphic back needs adjustments. I have strong reasons to believe that the problem is just a small misalignment between both anamorphic elements in the back, or the distance between them. Both things can be easily fixed since the adapter has screws for these adjustments, but require special equipment (such as a collimator) to ensure the whole thing is gonna be accurate.

The filenames are pretty obvious, with almost all important information. First is the focal length, then aperture, focus distance and if anamorphic or not.

Camera used was a 50D, at ISO160. Shutter was 1/20 for f/3.3, 1/4 for f/8 and 2s for f/22 on the pictures inside the room. For the infinity ones, 1/1600 for f/3.3, 1/250 for f/8 and 1/30 for f/22.
 
I can vouch for Tito, he is a good guy. I have recently bought a lens from him and he is a regular seller on the EOSHD anamorphic forum.

Nice to see you here mate.
