*Cinema Style* - lens modified for shooting video instead of stills photography


Mechanics: A-
 Focus - I took the lens apart, cleaned and re-greased the focus helixes with 
Nyogel 744 grease (it won't travel to the iris blades), now it's easy and 
smooth to rotate from close-point to infinity. Because of the history of the 
lens, even with the new grease it has a little friction and not total silent
when changing focus, but still better than most used lenses on the market.
Back focus is calibrated on a Canon 5D MkII with a Pentacon-to-EOS adapter, 
meaning the distance marks on the lens reflect the actual distance 
of the focus plane from the sensor (you get perfect infinity at the end of 
rotation). The adapter is included in the auction, I recommend you not to 
take it off (other adapters might have slightly different thickness and 
change flange distance). 
Iris - I de-clicked and re-greased the aperture ring, it works smoothly, 
the iris blades are clean, aperture works all the way from f2.8 to f22.


Optics: B
Sharpness - despite the scratch, one of the sharpest Biometars I've seen
Haze - all lens elements are clear. No fungus, no haze
 Dust - some microdust inside that has no visible effect, 
I can only see those under very hard light going through the lens
Scratch - few microscratches, one scratch on the front element


Cosmetics: B
Signs of use on the barrel, signs of someone trying to unscrew the front plate (see pictures)


Mount: P6 (adapter to EOS is included in the auction)
Extras: Standard .8 gear ring for follow focus, step-up ring to 77mm, metal lens hood 77mm, lens caps - front (82mm) and back (EOS). 
If you dont need some of the extras, text me and I can accept a reduced price 'best offer'.
