[Konvas] Square Front wanted

[Dan Cordle]

Hi,
 
I brought my 50mm square front and just took a look at it outside. It's somewhat overcast and darker clouds are moving in, so I didn't want to wait 'till noon. I looked at it at what was as close to 60 degrees as I could tell from the sun's position. Blue wasn't the clear winner, but it was definitely more blue than green. 
 
Aside from a few light "cleaning marks" (why doesn't anyone call them scratches?) my 50mm is in excellent shape. The focus and apeture rings are not tight.
 
Hope you have a great day.
 
By the way, don't know if I told you, but I shot more at the rocky coast of RI. Last night I cut it together with the older footage but somehow saved the wrong file and lost all my work. I'll re-create it tonight and let you know when it's up on vimeo. I think my shooting is getting a trifle better. What I've found hardest to do is to learn how to get what I can only call "a flow" when shooting. I don't know what the real term is, but for me it means instinctively knowing how long to let the camera run per take and how to execute camera moves gracefully, whether on a tripod or handheld. Lately I've been practicing at home -pretending to shoot with the camera. I'm not a musician, but in an odd way, I wonder if operating a camera is akin to playing a musical instrument.

15-01When you tilt it at about 60 degrees and reflect mid day sunlight off of the front element is it more blue or more light green?Don't get me started on the coating changes and effect on the look of mixed images.

I'd like to find one with an OCT-19 mount. I'm not familiar with the different 
versions of square fronts anamorphic lenses. The 50mm square front I have is 
inscribed BAS4-15-01 F+50 1.2 on the top of the lens.  I'm hoping at some point 
to to get a 35mm that compliments the lens I have for a small project.
The square front anamorphics seem to be getting very rare on ebay.
