Selling for $19,000. PM for more details.

Bump. Willing to do $7000 plus shipping AS IS.

PRICE: USD 8500*.

PAYMENT METHOD: Wire transfer or USDT.

LENS NAME: ЛОМО Squarefront Anamorphic 80mm (35БAC4-14 F-80 1:2.3)

STRETCH: 2x.

FOCUS: Mechanical Single focus.

CONDITION: New front anamorphic glass installed, no haze, fungus, or scratches. However, the rear spherical glass has some fungus (read more about this below). Focus and iris rings are very smooth. Some dust as any vintage lenses.

LOCATION: Bangkok, Thailand.

SHIPPING: Express worldwide shipping included.

CLAMPS/RIG: Lens support installed.

EXTRA INFO: One of the famous vintage anamorphic lenses from the Soviet Union. Very sharp and very beautiful flares. Only one focal length here since I already sold my 35mm and 50mm so the 80mm is the only one left in the set.

About the fungus on the rear spherical glass. It doesn't affect the performance of the lens, I still get some very nice, sharp images with it. But if you decide to send it for cleaning, I'll cover the fees for that part. I'd recommend Optitek for doing so. The reason I don't do it now is that I don't want to ship from Bangkok to the US and then from the US back here just to ship it to somewhere else again. So it's easier for the buyer to do it and I pay for the service.

* Price can be reduced if takes care of the fungus by yourself

* Can be traded with other similar value lenses as well.

This is going to be a long, long journey for you Adnan. Like I mentioned somewhere here last year, my case took 4 years and ended up with VD claimed that he has sent my already lens but without any tracking number and no way to track it.

I hope you can get this solved before 2023.

Let me know when your website is ready. I can vouch for this.

I went through a similar experience with him. I've posted my story here https://www.facebook.com/groups/anamorphicshooters/permalink/2042440352434259/

The guy at Van Diemen is very talent I must admit. But that's all unfortunately.

I have one of the Technovision 35mm T/1.4 (or perhaps f/1.4) it's actually some sort of OEM for the Cineovision (or vice-versa I'm not sure). Quite usable even at wide open and super sharp at 2.8-4.

If they are correctly adjusted you should be able to focus just once. Notice the couple lock between both lenses that will move the focus ring on both lenses together.

What is your OCT-18 to M4/3 looks like? There are two types of them, the cheaper one usually doesn't support anamorphic lenses. You need to get one like this.

One of these seems to be on ebay now http://www.ebay.com/itm/261156837818?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

By the way, I've just checked and found the diameter of the rear mount is about 55mm which is probably larger than those OCT18.

Thank you Dom for replying. I'm not so sure if a lens with originally OCT18 mount will look like that with its mount removed. Do you think it is possible to replace the missing mount with one from another OKC 75 lens with OCT18 mount?

I got this lens for sometime now but having no idea what mount is it.

It has only aperture ring, no focus ring. It seems to focus infinity with my GH2 just fine, so there might be a chance to adapt it somehow if I know more details on the mount.

Any idea?

Awesome!

Thanks for both! I'll use support until I find a way to lock it some day. Cheers!

then tighten the ring on the rear portion in a counter-clockwise direction.

You mean two rings in the last photo?

Just got some squarefront anamorphics today. One of them is 35HAC10-3 squarefront and OKC8-35-1. Now I'm confused how this couple is going to be working.

It appears there is some kind of lock between the OKC8-35-1 and its squarefront

They seem to be connected just fine.

However, there is no lock on the top part. Is this how it was designed or I missed something here?

Any suggestion?
