SET IS SOLD!
I have the following lenses for sale as a PACKAGE. Meaning I will only sell all 5 together. They are:
18mm f/3.5
24mm f/2.0
35mm f/1.4
50mm f/1.2
85mm f/1.4
+bonus 5 Nikon-Canon adapters of various brands. (3 low end Fotodiox, 1 thick AF confirm no-name, 1 thick non-AF confirm no-name)
All optics are in good or great condition. Only marks on it come from cleaning over the years. The barrels have some wear as to be expected from decades old lenses. All are AI-s versions.
With the exception of the 18mm, the lenses have had their aperture rings de-clicked and dampened professionally by RPlens. (www.rplens.com) This means you have a much finer control over the amount of light hitting your sensor, as you are no longer bound by mechanical clicks, ISO steps, or ND steps. That and you're able to "rack" iris the same way you can rack focus. Giving you even more control over exposure in difficult lighting situations.
The only "flaw" in the set is that the 85mm's focus barrel's resistance is slightly inconsistent. It gets slightly heavier around the 1 meter mark. This increase pretty much goes away when using a follow focus due to the torque applied, but can be felt if you're using your hands directly on the barrel. The actual distance affected by this flaw is only about 2 feet or so around the minimum focus of 0.85 meters, so it doesn't really affect you much in real life situations but in the interest of full disclosure, it needed mentioning.
Price is $2500 USD OBO. Shipped insured to anywhere in the continental USA. Inquiring minds can call or text me at Eight-Oh-Four, Eight-Nine-Two, Zero-Four-Three-Two. Or email me at artchong81-at-gmail-dot-com. Local pick ups are absolutely welcome if you'd rather meet anywhere within 2 hours of Richmond, VA.
I am selling because I usually only operate by myself or with only one assistant, so zoom lenses are better for me because it helps keep my kit light and helps me move faster.
