Hi all!
I keep getting refs from this thread to my flickr, so I might as well write something here.
My Iscorama clips on Vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/6081756
I've been using the Iscorama front, the 50/2.8 front with 49mm thread, on my Arax 80/2.8 tilt/shift. Works great. One guy on cinema5d.com has used it with the Nikon 50/1.8D fine also. I've been testing other lenses as well, the EF50/1.2L should work fine once I get a 72-52mm step-down ring and then add a 52-49. It needs two rings to get as close to the fifty as possible. It works with all of my six 72-49 rings too, but the vignette is a bit too much. I wouldn't mind some light fall off, but this is actual vignette. Cutting down six rings to two will probably cut down on the dark corners on the 50/1.2.
I also have an M42 lens, a lovely Helios 44-M (58mm f/2), that should work fine. The Helios is almost able to grab the threads of the 52-49 ring on the Iscorama. I need to take out the glass of a 49mm UV filter and use it as a spacer. I have one, just need to find it..
Basically, you can use the Iscorama on anything that has a deep enough recessed front. Sharpness really picks up with newer lenses on it. And apparently flares too with the Nikon's larger aperture.
