Got some a very beat up dyaliscope anamorphic. The speed panchro taking lenses have been taken out of the housing. I am a novice to this sort of thing, they have a ton of issues and a mount I have never seen before. I have also never seen them with a silver finish. I also got a 75mm and just the anamorphic block of what I think is the 100mm In over my head but is this something that can be serviced?

I just found out that the Zeiss 8mm T2.2 and T2.4 will NOT cover s16.

That Peleng 8mm is another lens that I have been checking out, its a fish eye but hey its cheap and it covers s16 no prob. Could be fun! I would go with the Ultras in a hart beat if it made sense, but sadly there is no way for me to justify such an expense. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the info! I have a line on a zeiss 8mm T2.2 but I have a felling that it will not cover. It has a arri standrad mount and thats never a good sign for s16 coverage.

Hi all! I am new here but have been lurking for a while. I am getting a set of primes together for the new blackmagic pocket cam and I am having a hard time figuring out what 8mm lenes cover s16. So far I have figured out that 8mm T1.3 OPTAR covers 8mm Ultra Prime (way out of my budget) 8mm Optex T2 Zeiss 8mm T2.1 MK2 (the one with intergraded focus gears) Maybe covers I have goten conflicting answers. Cant find any info on the Zeiss 8mm T2.1 MK1 no focus gears but T* coating The Zeiss 8mm T2.4 looks like it will not cover. I have also seen 8mm T2.2 (not sure if its a mistake) Is there anything I should be looking at thats under $1500, I have already purchased a set of super speeds and would like to get the optar but I might not be able to afford it right now. Thanks!
