lomo lenses?

[Michael Panfeld]

I got my 7 lomos for about $1000. lubed and all good to go
Do you know if they only cover a 16x22mm frame or will they cover a wider area like s35 too?

I've got quite a few and have sent the first batch to Bernie at Super 16. He said that all the ones he has gone through so far will cover S35 (and then some!). Most of my lenses are 80's/90's though.

I have to agree with Nick. You are taking a chance with overseas sellers. Some know lenses and can accurately describe them. Some either don't know or worse, carefully craft the description around what's bad. Takes experience.

I've got a spreadsheet that includes info on almost every cinema lens made, including a very long list of russian lenses. I posted on reduser looking for help in finishing the list, but got no response other than someone who wanted to simply get the info. I've also seen a new web site dedicated to cinema lens info. So keep your eyes peeled.

He has a lathe, but has basically stayed away from fashioning a mount from scratch (I asked him about mounting some Super Baltars I have). To be honest, he sounds like he (happily) has too much work just CLAing lenses and converting cameras to S35, etc, to deal with making a mount (which is very time consuming and expensive).

If you buy a PL mount, he can put it on and collimate it.
