Baltasar Thomas Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Hi, I'm letting go of my Kowa Bell & Howell 2X with 2 clamping options. PHOTOS HERE: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TdYmK8o48JO2peBlSUrv6Zpucr2zid1v?usp=sharingPRICE: Asking 1050 EUR. Open to reasonable offers. PAYMENT METHOD: PayPal 'goods and services' LENS NAME: KOWA Bell & Howell STRETCH: 2X FOCUS: Double focus. CONDITION: Overall in very good condition. A bit of separation (see the photos) that has not changed the 3 years I've owned it. The housing is not mint but very good. Some tiny dust specks can be seen behind the outer glass elements. LOCATION: Amsterdam, The Netherlands. SHIPPING: I can ship anywhere, buyer pays for shipping. CLAMPS/RIG: Rapido Full Metal Jacket (the design is taken from Kowa anamorphics but my name is on there as well, you'll have to go at it with a marker or hide it some other way if you want to get that out of sight ;)) Rapido V3 full clamp RAFcamera front clamp - M77x0,75 (attaching 77mm filters) - diameter 70mm RAFcamera back clamp - M49x075 (attaching to a 49mm filter thread taking lens, I often used a Takumar 50mm 1.4) - This clamp screws onto the Kowa back thread and is then secured with tiny hex screws that do not clamp the thread directly but against a strip of metal that protects the thread. EXTRA INFO: Lovely amber flares. I bought this lens from a collector of vintage projection parts. It was well taken care of and I suspect, hardly used. Since then, 3 years back, I've only used it on a handful of personal projects, nothing commercial. I've not messed with focus alignment in any way. While I've had no problem getting sharp images out of it, I think this lens can probably benefit from a little love in that area. With this kit you have two options for clamping - one a more beefy Rapido solution for a variable diopter and one a more sleek simple Raf solution for double focusing with a small rig. Sad to see this beauty go but I'm sure I can find a new owner for that'll take good care of her and gives her the oppertunity to shine once again!

Hi, This lens does not have a mount as such. It is an anamorphic adapter that you clamp to a taking lens. If you want to learn more about anamorphic adapters, watch this video: The Rapido jacket mentioned in this video is also included with this kit. Best, Baltasar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
