I am selling an extremely rare Moller Anamorphot 19/1.5x like the one I have used in my clips: http://vimeo.com/19189116 and http://vimeo.com/22498245.
Mint condition, one of my favorite anamorphic lenses overall. Excellent sharpness at wide apertures (I won't say sharper than the Iscorama, but could possibly be!), minimum focus distance is 1.5ft - 0.5m without diopters, nice 1.5x ratio. You have to focus both the anamorphot and your taking lens.
Only one available so first come first served.

I can vouch for this lens, quite beautiful.

EDIT: mine was basically the same, but was the 16/32 anamorphot. Very similar I am sure.

Already had some interest, but not any commitment yet.
Here are some pictures of the lens.
Just to be clear, this has nothing to do with the Moller 19/1.5x focus through lens, apart from the brand name.
It is the much better and sought after lens that comes with a focus ring and is basically the same as the Bolex Moller 8/19/1.5x.
Any other question let me know.

Had a lot of enquiries regarding this so I would like to point out that in my opinion this lens would be best suited for crop sensor cameras, rather than for the 5dii.
The reason is that you can find a lot of fast and relatively inexpensive 50-55-58mm lenses that would make an excellent taking lens for the Moller on crop sensor, whereas on full frame you'd need to use the equivalent 85mm-100mm fast lens to get the same field of view without vignetting.
For me it worked fine on a 58mm f2.0 Helios 44-2 lens without vignetting on the t2i (should work with 50mm lens on micro 4/3), and considering that with my mounting solution the anamorphot is almost 1cm away from the front of the taking lens (which is huge), if you put it closer with a different mounting solution, you should be able to go even wider.

Apart from sharpness, did I mention the nice flares? :)

I will throw in a DSLR mounting solution to minimize vignetting.
The lens now comes with two custom made step down rings that transform the rear thread of the anamorphic to a useable 49mm.
Just mount it on an SLR lens with a 49mm filter thread, align the anamorphic by using the provided silver ring to tighten when properly aligned, and you are ready to film!
No need to buy extra clamps, diopters or other stuff to go with this lens!

With the provided mounting solution the lens does not vignette at all with 50mm lenses on APS-C crop sensor cameras.
On micro four thirds you could possibly go down to 35mm without vignette (just a guess).

Don't miss it now.
 
Thanks Timbook2.
To be honest mid-class people start to feel unconfortable around here. There is one new tax announced almost every week which is in force retroactively. And these are always quite high taxes to pay by the end of each month.
That is why I am led to keep only the equipment that is strictly necessary for the moment and I have to sell some lenses, that I would gladly keep in other circumstances, to pay taxes.
The worst thing is that we all know that paying these high, extraordinary, taxes is not going to save the country alone. It only gives a brief time extension.
Schools have started this year and there are no books as of yet (they only gave a .pdf of the textbooks!!). Pensions are being cut every month (but 70 years old people cannot start working again to cover life expenses).
Again and again, the same people have to carry the cross because it is impossible to stop tax evasion and cut public expenses with strategic plans projected in 5 minutes.

On the other hand, this is actually the opportunity to change many things in this country. I hope we won't miss this opportunity.
And I really hope that the solution to the global crisis will reinforce united Europe.

Anyway, I apologize for the off topic, but now you know why I keep on selling these lenses :)
