Hi All, I am selling my set of Zeiss Super Speeds T1.4 MKI (B Speeds). In pristine condition, mechanics are perfect and glass is scratch free. Freshly serviced and cosmetically upgraded by Duclos. I had not intended on ever selling this set, but we need the money. Price is $39,500. I've shot with all types of vintage primes (K35, Lomos, Super Baltars, SS MKII/III). The MKI SS are probably my favorite vintage lenses, with a flare and contrast quality that resembles films of the 70's/early 80's. To me, the nine-blade "Reuleaux Triangle" iris is magical, with bokeh that is reminiscent of Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" & many of Kubrick's films (Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Barry Lyndon). I've noticed these lenses are becoming rare, and I have yet to find a set in this condition. Here are the specs: - The lenses include 5 focal lengths (18, 25, 35, 50, 85). Imperial and metric scales (engravings are neon glow paint). - These are S35 format, not S16. Very close serial numbers. - Optics (all front and rear glass elements) are scratch free - Rotations are smooth and consistent across each lens (i.e. every lens has the same feel when you rotate the barrels, no loose threads). - Consistent gears and mechanics across each lens. All lenses have 80mm fronts, and Hard PL mounts (not PL adapters) - New Arriflex front and back caps - Cosmetically they are beautiful, better than any set I've seen. Service history at Duclos. Pictures attached, and can send many more via email.

By the OP's definition of "gritty" from the screenshots, all you have to do is: lower color temperature (more greens) increase contrast and crush blacks you CAN desaturate, although its not necessary (screenshot #2 doesnt really look too desaturated). easiest way to get grain is underexpose the shots, and increase ISO in post the night shot (last screenshot) relies more on on-set effects (i.e. lighting/exposure) rather than post-production color grade. You definitely don't need a several million dollar budget to achieve "gritty." Now, on the other hand, exposing and grading something like Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN I would say requires some skill and $$$.

Hi guys, My first post here. Wanted to bring this thread up from the past. I am in the process of acquiring some wide-angle Samcine glass in BNCR, which seems to be rebuilt Canon 14mm primes. I don't have much experience with rebuilt glass, let alone Samcine, but I am hoping the image quality organic yet still sharp. I know it probably won't be Master Prime sharp, but was wondering if anyone had experience on this glass - how does it compare/contrast to newer glass like MPs? Conversely, how does it compare to older cine glass like Canon K-35s? Thanks much Yousuf
