I just get it, and the lens is the size of a 200mm Lomo lens with the oct 19
mount.

But the 75mm to 150 mm made by tameron it's a military zoom made for
portrait or for a medium size 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 TAMERON made lens for canon and
nikon...some are sold for over 2,000 usd . But not every one know it's
possible to adapting them to a 35mm movie camera.

this is what i like to do with :

this South Korean filmmaker adapt few of those lens to ARRI bl 35mm and it's
work
It's about a year i watch this lens all over the web to find a alternative
to the Russian Lomo 37 to 140mm with better glass.

So now the same lens with out modification done yet and the one i buy and i
just get it and it's much better of what i expecting.

So the way it's build it auto and manual lens, you could lock the zoom in
the focal you could do the same with the iris: like lock it at aperture of
11 if you like. Witch the urge size of the ring hard to do a nice and steady
zoom  it's hard, on your way to do this you need to change your hand
position to continue. Or need to made 1/2 way zoom... i will ad a extension
arm to help
here.

>From the information  the Korean Filmmaker tel me you have a color look like
a angenieux and it's more sharp.

I will used Pentacon six ring adapter and 62mm extension tube and revers
ring for pentacon six to build the adapter. the flat ring support i will
keep it to made a support behind it to the support for the Matt box on my
Konvas M2.

my intention is using it like a variable lens near 75mm to 150mm my prime
are 18mm,22mm,35mm,50mm,75mm,200mm,and 500mm so i will get a very nice set
like this.

I will send a picture later.
