I thought I'd try some of the best ones here again before I go to the auction site. This is the Bell & Howell version of the great little Angenieux lens. There are plenty of pictures out there that show the outstanding quality of this lens on the m4/3 format. I had a chance to compare this one to the M1 version, and I prefer the B&H; the handling is a touch easier and, while I haven't weighed them, I always thought the B&H weighs a little more and that makes it feel like real quality.
The lens is in excellent shape, I can see none of the obvious flaws like scratches, fungus, cleaning marks etc. It was checked on a collimator before I bought it and was found to be a very sharp copy. Only minimal external signs of use. Comes with both caps and the little Bolex case. The rear cap has some scratches or oxidation, I can add another generic one if you like.
Prices have come down a bit on these, but I expect that with the GH2 and the zooming options the prices will go up again. I have two of these lenses and want to sell the extra one. Price is $1,099 incl shipping, insurance & paypal inside the US, everywhere else, please add $25 for tracked express shipping.
