ISCO GÖTTINGEN -ANAMORPHOT S8 /2X LENS Can anyone tell me anything about this scope lens? How much is it worth to bid on ? At the moment there is one on e.bay and I was wondering if I can use it with my Elmo projector. Thank you Regards Leon
I have a ISCO-GOTTINGEN ISCOMORPHOT 16/2X scope lens. I got a good deal on mine ...I paid $50 but I'm sure it's worth more but I don't honestly know how much. It is a great lens and it works fine with my ELMO ST 1200. I have it on a home made mount and it is attached to the front of the projector and swings out of the way when not needed.
Hope that helps...maybe someone would have a better idea of a fair price for you.

Keep in mind that a) in some auctions on eBay the sets are incomplete. b) that the "screws into a Kiptaron 1.3/20mm"-version is very bulky and hence can't be used in e.g. the Bauer T610 c) all versions are "tiny" and might cause problems (vignetting) when used with a non-20mm projection lens d) the attachment-versions are only "fixed focus" (and hence have been much cheaper when new). (I don't see any major differences to focus-able lenses in my usual setup as I only do have a small screen. But when used in other setups, it's obvious that this iscomorphot is cheaper - especially in the corners.)

Leon, From interpreting the Super8 Wiki information and also from my practical experience of this lens.... it is a fixed focus anamorphic attachment and should give good results at all normal distances used in the home. Martin
