Don't know if anyone here collects vintage cinema equipment but if you do, do check out my ebay auction -- It's for a Precision 70mm Film Splicer Joiner. This was discovered in the loft of an old cinema in England. I took it to the London Cinema Museum yesterday. The curators there got very excited about it, saying they have NEVER seen a 70mm film splicer before. I am a vintage poster collector so am going to sell this to raise funds to finance "my habit". Specs: Precision Joiner Serial No: 196 Film Model No: T http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...=STRK:MESELX:IT

PS My ebay user name is also Scartacus. I have 100% feedback

Thanks for your input. I've been looking at some ebay listings and it looks like the cinemascope lenses go from $150-200 range though no idea whether they move at that price. I would take $100 for lens without the box and $120 for the lens with the box for a quick sale. if anyone wants both of them I can do a deal for $200

Found this snippet on the web http://www.widescreenmuseum.com/widescreen/wingcs3.htm "Marilyn is seen fondling a Bausch & Lomb Type I CinemaScope projection lens, which sold for over$2,800 per pair at a time when American G.I.s were returning from Korea and buying their first homes for $5,000. Hold on to that lens a little tighter, Marilyn!" Maybe I should be looking for a collector of old lenses...

PS am i right in thinking you can use this Cinemascope lens, which was designed for a projector, with a film/dv camera if you have the right attachment?

Hi everyone, I'm really glad I found this forum and hope some of you might be able to shed light on a pair of projector lenses I picked up, along with a film joiner. Both are marked: Cinemascope Lens Attachment II. They were recovered from an old cinema. Am I right in thinking they were used to convert a 35mm into cinemascope? Are there any dealers who specialise in buying this kind of antique cinema equipment? thanks. dominic
