I have an Anamorphic lens that was created by Iscorama for Runco Reinier. It originally sold for between $6000-$8000. It has higher quality glass than the Iscorama 54's which it resembles and are popular right now. It is stated as a 1.3x, but I have actually found it to be 1.5x. I worked with a German optics professor who is well known here (Dr. Klaus Schmitt) to build a structure around it and have extra diopters for close up work which are very rare for it's size (92.5mm). There are two very tiny microscratches on it's back element and perhaps a speck or two of dust which were there from origin before we purchased. As it is an amorphic lens (used to eliminate distortion in abnormally wide throws) they are therefore inconsequential, and this was re-confirmed by Iscorama Gottingen themselves before we decided to go ahead and take it.
We built the rear threads with a 77mm diameter, the rotating locking pin unit to change / level out the anamorphic plane, and the the front threaded holder for the diopters. (92.5mm). The diopters for work in the closer 6 meter range are VERY RARE and one would have difficulty finding them in this size normally.
Edit: A new rear mount was machined to approach the taking lens by almost a full centimeter for additional coverage. A duclos delrin gear ring has also been added to the barrel.
Additionally there is a small chip on the .5 diopter near the edge, which is also of origin before us and does not affect image quality because of it's peripheral nature.
As I said before the anamorphic lens itself was quite an expensive piece at the time it came out (between $6000-$8000) and the sharpness of the lens is clearly a step up from a conventional Isco 54.
I have invested almost 2750€ in this piece over time and my asking price is 2350€ or BO.
