Balz Auf der Maur

Wish I was in the US, would love to buy it 😕 i think shipping probably doesn‘t make sense…

Sold!

Bump! Still for sale ^^

and here's a link to some footage: https://www.swisstransfer.com/d/9c46e9f5-fe62-42f1-aaa4-10b0e96180c1 nothing scientific, just a bunch of shots

I have an oddball of a zoom lens for sale, which I bought a while ago from a company that shoots nature documentaries. It's a Canon that was modified by Panther to fit PL-Mount Super 16 cameras. According to a rental company that I talked to, the optics may be close to the Canon 11-165 zoom, since that lens seems to be based on a TV zoom as well. Here's a list of Pro's and Con's I've come up with whilst testing it on my Z Cam E2-S6 in S16 mode. Pros Huge Zoom range (the double extender makes it a 20-320 but compromises the aperture and quality) Pretty sharp (I was expecting a lot worse) Nice flares that can change depending on aperture and zoom setting Compact size and well built Clean Glass (except for a few barely visible dots (dust?) that are visible when viewed in the right light, doesn't affect the image though as far as I can tell) Cons Heavy breathing (especially in the wide setting) Relatively short focus throw, nice for handheld operation though Make me an offer ? I'd also be open to trade it for another lens, mainly looking at primes. Here's a link to some photos: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1G78cAmOZUSSAwuoV5wQ0lA4eIjVDdj5k?usp=share_link

Long shot, but did you ever sell the 16mm Standard speed?

Hi, what‘s the asking price for the set? And would you be willing to split it up by any chance?

how much are you asking for the illumina 12mm?

Puhlmann.tv has one for sale I think. Its the 16mm version.

Wish this was in europe ?

Is this what you‘re looking for? Auction Just saw this on a local auction site here in Switzerland ?

Hmm, could be. What do you think the lens could be worth in that case? If it‘s just a small amount it might still be interesting to try out.

Alright, this is getting even more interesting. Turns out it might not be a B4 lens after all. According to the rentalhouse in Sweden that owns one of those the base lens is actually a Canon 11-165 T2.5 Super 16 zoom which is surprising considering the angle seems to have turned wider through the modification. (Maybe also just a different measurement made by Panther during the modification) But it adds up if you compare the focus barrel grip to one of the Canon 11-165‘s. That would make this lens an actual Super 16 Zoom with an inbuilt doubler.

Thanks for the detailed reply! It does indeed have a 2x doubler which was part of the modification that was supposedly done by Panther Film Equipment. I just wasn‘t able to find a Canon TV-lens that matches as a base-version. There is a 16-160mm TV zoom but that wouldn‘t make sense with the wide end of the lens. I reached out to them but haven‘t heard back yet. I would think so too regarding the coverage. Wouldn‘t make sense in my eyes either to go through the hassle of converting and then engraving your logo on a frankenstein-lens. Any way I‘m gonna try to test it on a blackmagic micro cinema camera soon which should proof if it actually covers S16 or not.

Here’s a photo. Anyone seen one of these before?
