Is that technique standard operating procedure for just the Iscorama lens, or does that apply to all anamorphic lenses? I'm pretty sure that's an exclusive feature from the Iscoramas. That's one of the things that makes them so special, sought after and expensive. You can buy most other anamorphic ...

..yeah, Yemi is the only filmshooting character that I can think of who was using one. Last I heard he was selling off all of his gear. I actually made an offer on his Iscorama, but he didn't go for it.. The clips he showed from it still stand as the cleanest super 8 anamorphic stuff I have seen. I...

If it doesn't work, your Isco is broken or got modified to work with a special camera/projector. (Or the previous owner tried to fix some problems like lens-fungu...

...see if you can "ping" forum member Yemi. He was using an Iscorama so he might have some insights into your focusing problem.. http://www.filmshooting.com/scripts/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=356 Steve I sent him a PM. Let's see if he replies. It seems he hasn't been around ...

I finally got a hold on an Iscorama 54 lens after looking for one for a long time. But I’m getting some weird results with it though. First, I always heard that one of the positive features with the Iscorama was it’s focus system. You just needed to set the focus on your lens to infini...

yeah but the lenses for the Leicina are miles ahead of the Beaulieu or any other super 8 camera. They are the only interchangeable lenses really made for Super 8 format.
