John H. Tischler Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I just purchased a large lot of cine lenses. Most are pretty straightforward - either old PL or C mounts; but there are a couple of head scratchers. I have a Kinoptic Anamorphic F:2 Focale 75mm lens. The odd thing is that is doesn't have a focusing mechanism. Below the aperture ring is a screw on 1.5" (approximately) barrel followed by another short ring (see attached photos. The threaded section measures slightly under 35mm. Does anyone know what's up with this lens? Is it some sort of universal mount that screws into the focusing helical of one's choice? Thanks!

Brian Drysdale Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 It could be this lens, but the focusing mechanism is missing: https://jerrybei.com/reviews/2018/4/30/kinoptik-apochromat-75mm-f2-lens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I'm probably wrong, but I've had a lens apart and that screw thread looks more like a focussing rack than a mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted November 16, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted November 16, 2018 Yes that thread is a focussing helical. The lens is missing a mount and associated keyway to prevent the front rotating. Presumably a focus scale ring too. Totally useless as it is, let me take it off your hands.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
