Gregg MacPherson Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 These are the same lenses you were asking about in another recent thread? The photos of the prime lens that I saw then, showed an Arri-B mount with a PL adapter. They were MK I superspeeds I thought. The small lens barrel with the focus ring added later, the focus scales should be just in front of that ring. And they have a spacer ring on the front of the lens to get to a common 80mm diameter. There is a diffence in the cost and usefullness of MK I vs II. Someone who bought without realizing they were MK I may be understandably tweaked later. If the condition of all is good then that price is very good, but it would pay to edit your listings to reflect fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eros Salvatore Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 I was told that they were mk II over the phone by a lens repair shop. If anyone wants assurance I can go get them looked at by a pro shop. I'm not here to rip anyone off. Thanks for asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg MacPherson Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Just above is an example of a MK II. I was just trying to protect you from the feeling that the buyer would have when he realized that they are MK Is. Who is your repair guy?. Can you please send him all my comments. If it helps, you or he can catch up on all this stuff on the cinematechnic website. I have used MK Is years ago. I have a set of MK IIs here, and yours are not MK IIs. See picture. You can see the bigger barrel, and the integral focus ring, rather than the later attached focus ring. And the front was 80mm from new from the factory. With eBay it's good to be accurate about what you are selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eros Salvatore Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Thanks, I will look into it further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eros Salvatore Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 How can I edit this post? There seems to be no way to change it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg MacPherson Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I don't think it's intended that we edit our posts after the fact. There is a short window for an edit just after you post, like, a minute or two, something like that. Doesn't matter, you can add ideas or make corrections in a later post. Like for example... I wrote, very confusingly, above, about the integral focus ring on the MK II. I meant the integral focus gear, meaning that the gear is machined as part of the focus ring. The MK Is came out with no integrgral focus gear, but a focus gear was commonly added. Sorry for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eros Salvatore Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Can I delete it? It seems like the revisions I want to make are a bit big for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg MacPherson Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The posts here I don't think you can delete. Don't know. But adding revisions or the fact of others commenting etc all bump your thread into view on the new content list. I just looked at your ebay listing. The primes and zoom are still selling together at the same price of USD5000. Are you going to pull that item on eBay and relist separately, or are you just going to modify the listing, so it's just for the primes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Bill DiPietra Posted August 12, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 12, 2015 "Sustaining Members" are able to edit their posts for up to 24 hours. "Basic Members" have about a 1-minute window to do that, as Gregg mentioned. I would just re-post in this thread or start a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Eastgate Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 its also making a point, especially if you arent going to add any detailed photos, of the quality of your arri bayonet to PL adaptors. They appear to be the cheap aluminium screw-held rings rather than locking, clamped or semi-permanent type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
