[FS: OPTICS] NIPPONSCOPE Nippon Scope Anamorphic

[Mark LaFleur]

FOR SALE are 2 NIPPONSCOPE (or Nippon Scope) rear section of anamorphic lenses. These Nippon Scope anamorphic lenses were built in the 1970s. They had two different series of anamorphics. In this series, they would sell 1 anamorphic head (front section) with 2 or 3 swappable rear sections. If you are the owner of a Nippon Scope anamorphic front section, you could use these lenses to effectively add focal lengths to your set. You save money if you buy both lenses. The 100mm alone is $2,500 and the 135mm is $1,750, which is $4,250 total. I'm doing $3,750 for both.
