From kelleymailbox at gmail.com Tue Jan 2 17:50:39 2018 From: kelleymailbox at gmail.com (Kelley Cross) Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2018 14:50:39 -0800 Subject: [Konvas] Lomo 25-250 (50-500mm) Zoom with anamorphic attachment for sale Message-ID: Hi all, I?m going to list this one on ebay probably Wednesday or Thursday this week. I?m looking for $4,800 for this and would prefer to sell it to someone from the group before somebody on ebay. I?m going to paste the ebay blurb here: Lomo 25-250mm Cine Zoom lens with Anamorphic rear lens element This is a Lomo 25-250mm zoom lens in very good condition; serial #800003, made in 1980. Included is an anamorphic lens element (50-500mm) that attaches to the rear of the lens. This element converts the lens to anamorphic, yielding a focal range of 50-500mm. The lens has the proprietary oct-19 mount. It is common to convert these to PL mounts. I chose not to, as all of my lenses I shoot are oct-19. Along with the ebay photos, I?ve posted some test shots and footage on the folowing link: http://www.badassfilm.com/lomo-anamorphic/ There are some light cleaning marks on the lens, but as you will see in the test shots, the imagery is in no way affected. I find that this lens yields a warm cinematic 70s look throughout the entire focal range. The lens will open to f/4, but the blades stiffen past 5.6. This is something that should be addressed with a lens tech, but 5.6 and above, the aperture glides freely. Please note that the support ring shown in the photo is included, but the dovetail and support bracket are not included. Please send any questions. I respond promptly. ------------------------------ If anyone is interested, please contact me offlist. Cheers all, and Happy Holidays.

Mmm, I seem to remember a factory fresh 400' can of V3 35mm ran about $350 a few years back. Now, if you're talking 2-perf 35mm... okay... I see a lab in LA offering fresh 200' reels for $200 with processing included. A recan 400' of 35mm is going to run $200 without processing. Finding recans or whatever of 16 is dang near impossible, true. Then there is the scanning cost which will be a significantly higher range for 35. But this won't be an issue soon I hope ;-) A beat up Arri SRII fully decked will run ya ~2k or 3k even in today's market (I nabbed a fully loaded A Minima PL for an absolute steal of a price coupla months back; but Aatons tend to run for a premium). But we're talking a spring movement 16mm... Low end range Bolex cams are going for ~300 with lenses. I found minty looking K1/2s go for about $100. Shipping will be a little more from Russia/Uk. Just curious how steady the image will be... For a beater, grab-and-go, fun for all ages, some assembly required batteries not included camera, the chrome edging and fashionable striped beauty plate on the front requires that I tie my sweater about my neck and wear a beret, smoke a cigarette in a long holder, and use flashy words like 'jazzy' and 'cat' and phrases akin to, "Where's my latte????" And I already SAY stuff like that and wear my sweater tied about my neck! (True story!) Now, I just need to build a bunch of post-drop-box-sized, hand-crank mobile 16mm viewers to station around LA so people can watch my low-tec youtube-style films. Mmm, no. Anyhow, I will letcha know how bad it hurts when I end up in the ditch...

They were still using 16mm film to teach, and the school had some Kragnagorsk 16mm cameras for students to use if they didn't have something else to use. It was unfortunate that they didn't have something better, many students were terribly frustrated with the loop problems and jamming. Someone who knows what they are doing would probably have better luck, but still, I never heard many good things about them and the optics were apparently not so great.

I bought a K-3 a long time ago and never did get the dang thing to work properly without chewing up at least a few perfs here and there. I sold mine and moved on to a 16mm Filmo, which are extremely well built and practically never have issues. Never messed with or have even seen a real K-1 or K-2 up close. That said, list member David Crosson had a K-3 we did a test roll with; we shot it here on the farm and it looked decent enough, IMO. It had lots of flare, but the 17-69mm Zenit zoom was kinda limiting - you?d be doing a lot of running to get all the shots needed. Luckily it?s an M42 lens mount, so you can swap it out with other lenses. The Zenit isn?t going to compare to LOMO lenses in any way though. As for the camera body - it?s loud as all get out, only holds 100? of film, kinda hard to load, and tends to have light leaks. If you can get the film to load and not get eaten, you?re better than me. Most buy the the K-3 unopened from their Soviet days and immediately send them off to get rebuilt - so you?ll drop a lot more money on it than the up front expected costs. If you want to convert them to Super16, it?s gonna cost even more. You could possibly do some (all?) of the work yourself, if you have the right tools and the know-how, but I doubt you?d make your money back for all the time invested and specific tools needed after you sold it. P.S. David Crosson ran me over with the Filmo?s big brother, the 35mm Eyemo, on a film shoot one time. What a good memory... bahaha Cheers!

I bought a K-3 a long time ago and never did get the dang thing to work properly without chewing up at least a few perfs here and there. I sold mine and moved on to a 16mm Filmo, which are extremely well built and practically never have issues. Never messed with or have even seen a real K-1 or K-2 up close.

The A Minima requires an A wind (emulsion out) instead of the more standard B wind. Many labs will wind your film onto an A Minima spool for a small fee. Also, make sure the processing lab returns your spools; they are not the same as a 200' daylight spool and are getting harder to find. The A minima spools are driven by their edge, not from the center. Again, all of this can be mitigated by a friendly lab, so call a few in advance. :) Prices for S16 gear is creeping upwards again. I purchased an Arri SR2 a couple of years back from a used equipment supplier and I've noticed that prices are now $1K to 1.5K higher for the same rig than they were a year or so ago. In my opinion, I'd ditch the Krasnogorsk idea. I used them in film school - man, such a long time ago! - and they were guaranteed to chew up at least some of the film and lose their loop frequently. Get yourself a Bolex, preferably an SBM or REX 5 that was factory S16 or modified. More expensive? Absolutely. Destroy film? Lose loop? Nope. You get what you pay for. I've been using an SBM for years. Also, I've been purchasing stock directly from Kodak. 16mm is not nearly as expensive as 35mm. 400' of 16mm has a TRT of 11 minutes. Compare that to 1,000' of 35mm, which also runs roughly 11 minutes. 400' of 16mm Vision 3 is about $175, whereas 1,000' of 35mm Vision 3 runs about $770. Of course, as you stated, 35mm re-cans and short ends are much easier to find than 16mm re-cans and short ends, so it just depends on what your needs and preferences are. Hope all is well with you and everyone. Happy New year, all.

And I admit I sank some coins into Auricon and Arri bodies because they were the best I could get in terms of being user friendly. I believe I still have a Frezzi H16 I used to shoot commercials and some drop in footage for low budget replacements. That was the Frezzolini "upright" built on an Auricon body with a pistol grip for news or handheld use. I loaned it to several people to learn on, and most of them discovered that second rate cameras and second rate lenses and second rate lighting in 35mm didn't look anywhere as good as a Frezzi with an Angenieux zoom hanging on the front with good film and good lighting. I loved the Kinor35S with LOMO glass, but hated the K- series with the poor lenses they seemed to push on it. I liked the Arri BL, too, and the SR series, but not the IIb/IIc/IImedical or the pre-SR in 16mm. It seems that there is an H on eBay, but at the same kind of price as an Arri, and it is in Spain, of all places-- and needs an overhaul. This just is not fair. To get the cameras and lenses, then pay for film and stock to make 16mm sing you spend almost as much as a low cost but solid 35mm and recan/processing, exactly the way it was thirty years ago. On the other hand, I got got a quote on a test digital camera with one zoom permanently mounted on it, two batteries, charger, and video streamer to a huge raid outfit, and buying an ocean front house is cheaper. I guess I am just an image snob, but that camera actually delivered a test that was above 35mm 1.85 and doggone close to better than anamorphic 35mm delivered images. Can we go back to crayons? -----Original Message----- From: Brandon Esten via Cinema A fresh can of 400' 35mm couldn't be the same price as what, a 200' can of 16mm? 200' 16mm runs ~5.5 min and the 400' 35mm runs ~4.5 at 24fps? Mmm, I seem to remember a factory fresh 400' can of V3 35mm ran about $350 a few years back. Now, if you're talking 2-perf 35mm... okay... I see a lab in LA offering fresh 200' reels for $200 with processing included. A recan 400' of 35mm is going to run $200 without processing. Finding recans or whatever of 16 is dang near impossible, true. Then there is the scanning cost which will be a significantly higher range for 35. But this won't be an issue soon I hope ;-) A beat up Arri SRII fully decked will run ya ~2k or 3k even in today's market (I nabbed a fully loaded A Minima PL for an absolute steal of a price coupla months back; but Aatons tend to run for a premium). But we're talking a spring movement 16mm... Low end range Bolex cams are going for ~300 with lenses. I found minty looking K1/2s go for about $100. Shipping will be a little more from Russia/Uk. Just curious how steady the image will be... For a beater, grab-and-go, fun for all ages, some assembly required batteries not included camera, the chrome edging and fashionable striped beauty plate on the front requires that I tie my sweater about my neck and wear a beret, smoke a cigarette in a long holder, and use flashy words like 'jazzy' and 'cat' and phrases akin to, "Where's my latte????" And I already SAY stuff like that and wear my sweater tied about my neck! (True story!) Now, I just need to build a bunch of post-drop-box-sized, hand-crank mobile 16mm viewers to station around LA so people can watch my low-tec youtube-style films. Mmm, no. Anyhow, I will letcha know how bad it hurts when I end up in the ditch... Brandon "watch out for that truck" Esten -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have an Eclair ACL 2, modified for S16, that, when coupled with a prime lens and a 200' magazine, is comparable in terms of form factor.

Well, I did have one years ago and loved it to bits. A really well engineered camera imo, heavy but that?s good for me. The lenses that Eumig supplied were really bad so you had to upgrade the glass to get the best out of it. Lovely spring motor/ mechanism which was fairly silent in operation and the thickness of the metal body adsorbed most of the noise. VF was not so good but you could see what you were shooting. This was a reliable and robust camera not as sophisticated as the Bolex but as a newsreel camera it was effective. If I saw one now I would buy it but prices have soared higher than a Bolex therefore I would go for a Bolex. Do not discount the B & H 200 16mm. These are stunning little cameras imo, I have 4 of them, one with Taylor Hodson glass. Such a small camera that really pacts a punch in terms of image and build quality. A delight to hold and use and the fastest film loading in the business providing you don?t mind loading the film cassettes by hand in a bag. Once you have done one it becomes easy. Some people have upgraded these to super 16. The film gate is made of tin plate so is easy to cut and apparently you do not have to move the lens over as the lens will cover S16mm. I am happy with standard 16 and run it straight on my Eiki in my mini cinema. If you see one just grab it even if nor working, the mechanism is a ?hoot? to work on as very simple.

This boys demonstration is going the long way round. You don?t need to take it apart. I?ve taken mine apart but only to lube it. Loading is very easy even in a bag. Do it a few times in the day light and then go for a take in the bag. I take mine from a 400ft roll. It can get a bit ?busy? in the bag especially when cutting and loading 50ft spools but the secret is keeping everything separated and do it on a table with your arms resting in the bag. I actually enjoy doing it, trouble is I always get an itchy nose or ear which can be troublesome. One more thing. Take out the two tiny screws first before you put the cassettes in the bag. Then once loaded then put tape over the screw holes before taking out the mags otherwise light may get in. Screw the two screws back through the tape or leave the screws out and just use electrical tape instead. I have fridge full of fresh loaded cassettes, some dating back to the 1950?s sealed in Kodak boxes. Not used these ones as there is no point in wasting money processing old film. My Taylor Hobson?s deliver very sharp images and cannot believe how rock steady they are all from a tin plate gate. BH must have put a lot of R&D into these fine cameras. These cameras are a great addition to regular 16mm cameras. Btw, grab yourself an Iconix video camera for future filming. Stunning sensor. Size matters to me!

The A Minima requires an A wind (emulsion out) instead of the more standard B wind. Many labs will wind your film onto an A Minima spool for a small fee. Also, make sure the processing lab returns your spools; they are not the same as a 200' daylight spool and are getting harder to find. The A minima spools are driven by their edge, not from the center. Again, all of this can be mitigated by a friendly lab, so call a few in advance. :) > > Prices for S16 gear is creeping upwards again.

I used them in film school - man, such a long time ago! - and they were guaranteed to chew up at least some of the film and lose their loop frequently. Get yourself a Bolex, preferably an SBM or REX 5 that was factory S16 or modified. More expensive? Absolutely. Destroy film? Lose loop? Nope. You get what you pay for. I've been using an SBM for years. > > Also, I've been purchasing stock directly from Kodak. 16mm is not nearly as expensive as 35mm. 400' of 16mm has a TRT of 11 minutes. Compare that to 1,000' of 35mm, which also runs roughly 11 minutes. 400' of 16mm Vision 3 is about $175, whereas 1,000' of 35mm Vision 3 runs about $770. Of course, as you stated, 35mm re-cans and short ends are much easier to find than 16mm re-cans and short ends, so it just depends on what your needs and preferences are. > > > > Hope all is well with you and everyone. > > > > Happy New year, all. > > > > Scott > > > > > > Stanley Scott Bullock > > Obscure Images, LLC > > obscureimages at comcast.net > > > WE COULD REALLY USE YOUR HELP!

That was why they didn't sell that well. In B&H 16mm you want a late Filmo, not a cartridge camera, and some were fitted for 400 ft mags, almost all of the later ones are able to take various electric motors, and they take c-mount lenses. I have seen very good Pentagon lenses, and I have seen some that were less than good image. You cannot retrofit a tube type camera to digital. The only part that would carry over would be the lens mount, and most of those had stranger than strange lenses. I had a studio Canon 3, it was supposed to be c-mount, but you had to choose if you wanted the corners sharp or the center sharp, and when Canon got serious they created a new mount with lenses that were larger and worked well. Look for Auricon and Frezzolini with Angenieux or Schneider lenses on them. The Super 1200 with the big mags and a reflex lens by Angenieux can still be found at a reasonable price, and the small body "news and interview location cameras" work well, but you need to make sure you oil each of the red oil ports each time you use it. It was made before sealed bearings were available, and that is the reason most of the Mitchell 16mm bodies have burned bearings, too. Oil each time you use it, even if it is just to check it, oil it. On the other hand, a little care and they last decades with no issues. -----Original Message----- From: Brandon Esten via Cinema Found a couple of Eumig 16's but kinda rough lookin condition.

And I don't even want the 240 for a paperweight, not even if you hand deliver it to me at no cost, but that NPR down the list looks interesting and it is a good super16 basis. And there is a Vintage Bell & Howell Filmo 16MM Camera Model 70 DA for 45 bucks plus shipping even further down. There are more Filmo cameras, and motors for the Filmo on the second page, too. The Auricon Pro-600 is priced as a user-- and I remember when Arri was the affordable alternate to Mitchell and Auricon. One speed, but so dead smooth and even it will frighten you. The Super 1200 is even smoother and quieter. I have had people walk up and ask why we weren't shooting while we were shooting. It is that quiet. If you got Filmo bodies and electric motors for wild shooting, an Auricon or a Frezzi for sound synch would would be fine until you decided you needed a bunch of them, and then your bank account echoes. -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Taylor via Cinema Bell & Howell 240 16mm Movie Camera W/ Case | eBay $ 19.00 Bell & Howell 240 16mm Movie Camera W/ Case | eBay Bell & Howell 240 16mm Movie Camera W/ Case | Cameras & Photo, Vintage Movie & Photography, Vintag...

I?m looking for $4,800 for this and would prefer to sell it to someone from the group before somebody on ebay. I?m going to paste the ebay blurb here: Lomo 25-250mm Cine Zoom lens with Anamorphic rear lens element This is a Lomo 25-250mm zoom lens in very good condition; serial #800003, made in 1980. Included is an anamorphic lens element (50-500mm) that attaches to the rear of the lens. This element converts the lens to anamorphic, yielding a focal range of 50-500mm. The lens has the proprietary oct-19 mount. It is common to convert these to PL mounts. I chose not to, as all of my lenses I shoot are oct-19. Along with the ebay photos, I?ve posted some test shots and footage on the folowing link: http://www.badassfilm.com/lomo-anamorphic/ There are some light cleaning marks on the lens, but as you will see in the test shots, the imagery is in no way affected. I find that this lens yields a warm cinematic 70s look throughout the entire focal range. The lens will open to f/4, but the blades stiffen past 5.6. This is something that should be addressed with a lens tech, but 5.6 and above, the aperture glides freely. Please note that the support ring shown in the photo is included, but the dovetail and support bracket are not included. Please send any questions. I respond promptly. ------------------------------ If anyone is interested, please contact me offlist. Cheers all, and Happy Holidays.

No real production will shoot with only one camera, thats why i bought several. But its time to let those who wanted a sync camera with an oct.19 mount for their lomo lens.
