Resurrecting this thread.

AlphaLX just took apart an Isco 36 and discovered that it is possible to focus under 1 meter without a diopter.

This bears looking at for all those Isco owners out there:

cool.

I'll have to convince Pirata to let me take apart his ISCO 36. :cheesy:

 

[bwwd]

Why ? try to take apart those lenses for 35mm projection and move front glass closer to rear glass to enable close focus.

Here is my first test footage video using my new Isco 42

yeah, it's nice, but there's no reason why it benefits by being presented in that aspect ratio.

sue me

 

[Jamison]

why does this lens produce round distortion on the edges of the video? just curious, im not super educated on lens, im learning as I go but I know basic knowledge

 

[Rich Lee]

in regards to http://www.cinema5d.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7022&p=102854#p102854
wow that rocks. any updates or videos of this lens pulling focus?

 

[bwwd]

anybody tried isco with 35mm lens on 7d ? It should cover whole sensor without vignetting because it covers full frame 50mm on 5d ,on 7d it would be like 44mm.

Yes, here's my new Iscorama 54 with a Carl Zeiss 35mm F2.4 (and a +1 close up filter for the first image) on a 20D.

This combo doesn't seem to vignette noticeably until the F8-F11 range.

We now sell Anamorphic lens clamps that will convert most anamorphic lenses that have a stubborn non-standard filter thread to 52mm threads and correctly align and hold almost any lens lens so that you can mount it to a wide variety of taking lenses.
I've been able to mount my Isco 36 and Kowa 35 to a 80mm-200mm Canon L series lens with 72mm threads.

jongo that looks very nice,would like to see some vids with this setup.But maybe with sigma 30mm 1.4.
I guess you dont need diopters with isco cause you can easily disassemble it a bit to focus closer

 

[jongo]

Doesn't seem like you can disassemble the 54 too easily -- no exposed screws to tweak. My Isco II 1.33x actually looks more promising on that front. May have a go at it later when the Maitakan puts out a video on how he modified his 42.

i had x1.33 on 24mm and i wasnt that impressed , i sold it.

I got this mod from him. All it is is a simple removal or loosening of 1 screw, the only exposed screw (the very very tiny one) on the focus part of the lens. Only took a second to do and allows the lens to focus past the original 6ft down to 3ft, where it stops (which is a good thing so it wont unscrew all the way and fall out). Seems like it was meant to be
