Hi,
They will never be in big demand as they are 'Sub Prime' or 'Past their sell by date'. Stick with the Schneiders for now, I don't think you will gain that much from the T2.2's.
Stephen
Thanks. I believe that is sage advice.

$4-500 per lens.
Thanks Stephen. I know this is kind of a subjective question that I probably can only answer for myself, but if you were on a student budget and had a set of Schneiders, would you think that this purchase would be a significant enough upgrade to warrant the expenditure? Do you think these Zeiss will retain their value? I've never used the Zeiss but I like the Schneiders for certain things.

A guy I know recently offered to sell me an incomplete set of Zeiss 35mm lenses 16, 32, 50, & 85 (distagon & planars, T 2.4 for the 16, and T 2.2 for the rest). These do not have the T* and are in arri standard mt. He asked me to make an offer. I have no idea what these lenses are genuinely worth.
I don't want to low ball and nor do I want to offer too much. What would be an acceptable price range?
They are all in excellent condition. The 16 has a slightly dinged front rim.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I am thinking about buying a 2C but I noticed that the baffles (vertical metal strips) are missing from the ground glass holder. Would this pose a problem? Has anyone encountered this?

I had some p2 problems yesterday which necessitated shooting part of a piece on mini dv, 30p squeeze, B-STR setting. When I tried to capture the footage looked fine on the ntsc monitor but looked awful in FCP. The edges of the performers and other objects were highly pixelated, especially against the blue background.
I tried capturing several times on different computers and decks but encountered the same problem.
Any thoughts on how to rectify this?

How do the old arri standard mount 35mm format Zeiss lenses before the T* compare with Schneiders of the same period?
Is there a significant difference and if so what? Would these lenses intercut?
How do the pre T* compare with the T*?

The base jumpers were real. Bay has no regard for people. He involved an extra, Gabriella Cedillo, in a stunt, which resulted in her skull being split open by a cable and leaving her permanently paralyzed. Of course the production company was completely blameless and the girl should have known what the risks were when she signed here life away for $65/8hrs.
