  1. I'm dropping the price by $500 for this 35mm Lomo Super Speed OKC12-35-1 - now asking only US $4,500! Optional Arma Orbital system staying at an additional $750.
  2. $6,000 USD, Or Best Offer. I see three potential options for this lens: 1. Great for anyone putting together a set of Lomo Super Speeds to have rehoused with GL Optics (I've seen their latest MKV rehousing for Lomo Super Speeds, and they feel really good/smooth). 2. You could potentially buy a PL mount housing for this lens, like this one on ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/114874718075 NOT MY AUCTION), and pay an experienced lens technician to fit it into the housing if you wanted to use it as a spherical lens without a full rehousing. 3. If you happen to own a 35mm Lomo Round Front Anamorphic, this could be a cool modification for your lens to make it a Super Speed T1.8 lens. This housing it's currently in is incredibly rare - a custom modification by Sergey Kravchenco (spelling?) in Russia. Of course this would require an experienced lens technician as well. The lens is currently at True Lens Services in the UK, and included in the photos is an independent lens report from them. I will probably have it shipped back to me in NYC in January. TLS also provided me with these pictures of the lens that I'm including here. If there's a buyer interested in option #3, could also offer to sell as an extra with this lens - a custom-made Orbital system by Arma Cine in the UK, for an additional $1,000 USD - that's a fair bit less than I paid. Includes a custom metal lens cap, a foot for lens support, a custom iris gear, and I can throw in both imperial and metric distance rings. I have these parts with me in NY, but I could ship them to either TLS or Arma Cine in the UK if you wanted to ask one of those companies about modifying/combining your 35mm Lomo Round Front with this rear Super Speed, and I'm sure either could attach this Orbital system at the same time. I haven't shot anything with this particular lens, except for a lens test when it was a complete 35mm Lomo Super Speed Anamorphic. I can share a Vimeo link to that footage if you're considering that third option. And here's a link to Sergey's Flickr account that I found, showing a little more info about this modification: https://www.flickr.com/photos/45352422@N08/8279373591/in/photostream/ I personally love the look that Lomo Super Speeds create. If you're interested in using the lens as a spherical lens (Option #1 or #2 above), and not already super familiar with the look they create, here's some great sample/test footage showing how beautiful the Lomo Super Speeds are (this footage was not shot by me or with this 35mm) https://youtu.be/IZZzro92hgo If you don't want to have TLS modify your lens (option #3 above), I'd prefer an in-person transaction here in NYC. I may also be able to coordinate an in-person sale with the help of a friend in Los Angeles. If you're not local to either city, I'm sure I could also arrange an escrow transaction through a US-based broker like Lori Carson (https://www.justcinemagear.com) or Matt Livingston (https://newlifecine.com), or through a US-based lens technician like Jacek at OptiTek, if you'll cover their fee. Please send me a DM if you have any questions. More pictures: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjB7NDV
  3. Thanks, Marcel!! I'm a fan of your work ? I did notice someone recently listed the Optika Elite version of this lens for sale for US $13K, so yeah, I think this is a pretty fair price ? I sent the lens to DuAll Camera for service since they had one in their rental inventory.
  4. Update: I just had this lens serviced (at a cost of US $450, receipt available) which included a cleaning, so the internal spots (which were possibly dried oil spots) are no longer there. I am also LOWERING the price to $4,000 USD. I took 7 new pics to try and show how clean it is now: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjB7GEu
  5. 152mm Cooke Telepanchro T3.2 Lens For Sale Serviced in 2020 Marked in both Imperial and Metric Close Focus: 8' PL mount No case included This beautiful and very rare lens covers full frame sensors and complements the “Cooke Look” of Series II & III Speed Panchros very well. 152mm Cooke Telepanchro lenses in such clean condition are incredibly rare. Serviced by IndieOptics (a Panavision lens technician) in August 2020 (3 hours labor, receipt available), with no use since then, the glass is in excellent condition for the age, with minimal contamination and just a few (very small/light) marks on the elements. This is an excellent sample for rehousing with True Lens Services, which would also improve close focus (their current wait is approx 16-20 weeks). With that said, this lens is PL-mounted and geared for both focus and iris, and is usable as-is without rehousing. Focus and iris are both smooth, just not as *perfect* as a TLS-rehoused lens. The lens does *not* rotate as you pull focus (so you can use a clip-on matte box), and only telescopes forwards/backwards less than half an inch. It's about a 85mm front diameter with the lens hood, and about 66mm without. The lens has a beautiful 16-bladed iris for perfectly smooth round bokeh. Pictured both with and without the metal screw-on lens hood. Detailed IndieOptics report with images available. If you'd like to pay for an independent evaluation in NYC or Los Angeles (with shipping), I'm also open to that. Link to TLS's specs, in case you're interested in their rehousing after purchase: https://www.truelens.co.uk/telepanchro-152/t3.2 I owned another one of these very rare 152mm Telepanchros (but TLS-rehoused, see picture of the two next to each other), which I sold for $16K in 2022. I'm asking US $9,000 for this lens, providing an opportunity to save a few thousand dollars even if you do decide to rehouse it with TLS. I'd prefer a local (NYC) or Los Angeles (via family/friend) sale. I will consider domestic shipping after that, and potentially international shipping after that.

  6. @victor huey I'm actually not sure how this compares with the Ekran 25-80mm. When I worked at Clairmont, we had these Optars for rent but not the Ekrans. Maybe Ilya Volkov will be able to answer that question... I'll see what I can find out.
  7. For Sale: JSC Optika 25-80mm Vario Optar T3.3 Zoom (PL mount) Asking $4,500 USD. This is a very compact and *very* lightweight cinema 35mm/APS-C format zoom lens (less than 2.25 lbs!) with a great 25-80mm range and a constant T3.3. The Du-All Camera website says that theirs is adaptable to EF mount, so it's possible this one is too (though I can make no guarantees). The serial number implies a production year of 1994, but I'd say the image it creates could fairly be described as a "vintage" look, including how it flares. Focus and iris are smooth. Zoom feels a little uneven at the wide end and has a little play at the telephoto end. There's some light oil on the iris blades visible, and there are coating scratches visible on both front and rear elements, and some spots visible in the picture on some internal elements (maybe oil? see pics) but I couldn't get any of those to affect the image. The lens has bright markings for feet and inches (Imperial). A word of caution that the front *does* rotate and telescope when pulling focus (so it's not exactly matte box friendly), but there's an adapter on the front of the lens to use any round Series 9 filters you might want. I think a lot of people might embrace the lens flares from a vintage lens like this, so the lack of a matte box (and that extra weight savings) might be preferred anyway. You could also talk with Ben at Arma Cine to see if he can make an Orbital system for this lens, which is what I've seen Old Fast Glass has done for a few of their vintage zooms that have rotating fronts. There are so few vintage cinema zooms (for example, to compliment a shoot using vintage primes) that are as compact and lightweight as this one, especially with such a great range. All of the un-edited sample images I took (with a Fujifilm X-H2S) were wide open and at close focus, except the last two (or where noted). I'm potentially open to a trade/partial trade for a Cooke Speed Panchro 18mm and/or 25mm (Series III only) in very good condition, either not rehoused or TLS-rehoused. I'm not interested in any other trades at this time. I always prefer an in-person NYC sale where the buyer can see or try out the lens on their camera. I also have friends in Los Angeles who can help facilitate an in-person sale, if you're LA-based. And if you're somewhere else, I'm also open to working with a broker like Lori Carson or Matt Livingston, or a lens technician/third party service company, if you cover the shipping and associated costs involved. Please feel free to send me a direct message if you have any questions. More pictures: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjARwux
  8. I'm asking $600 USD for both mags with the case. I just had these two mags checked/serviced by Andree Martin of AM Camera last month, so you know they're good to go. Invoice from AM Camera is included with the images of the mags. I also just had Innerspace install new foam, since the old foam had gotten sticky/melty. I bought these from one of the big Otto Nemenz auctions around mid-2012. Available for local pick up in Brooklyn, NYC (preferred in-person sale). I can also ship at buyer's cost. I won't sell just one mag, or just the case. Besides working on the Arri 35-3 (AKA the "Arri 3"), these are also compatible with the Arriflex 2C and 3C. You can even use these on the 235 and 435, but if you want to go faster than what they were designed for (120 fps), you'd want to use a 435-style mag on your 435, like if you want to go up to 150 fps. Feel free to DM me with any questions.
  9. Sorry it seems I never posted "SOLD" on this, but it did sell many years ago. I've had a few messages asking about it.
