NEAR-MINT] 8MM 1.75X BABY HYPERGONAR BY H. CHRETIEN / ANAMO À BREST

[NEAR-MINT] 8mm 1.75x BABY HYPERGONAR by H. CHRETIEN / ANAMORPHIC / CINEMASCOPE This copy of this mythic lens is absolutely flawless, it's just like buying a brand new lens, and I sincerely ain't bullshitting about that. It comes with 3 original rear adapters, original front & rear caps, the original box and the user manual. This anamorphic adapter have fixed focus, which means that it's in focus from 4m to infinity, and you can get a closer focus by focusing on your taking lens as well as by using diopters. It's a very small scope but the results a properly stunning, you'll get a very very sharp image and some truly pretty nice neutral/blueish flares. I'm selling it because I have too many anamorphic scopes and I don't use the Hypergonar that much frequently, so it will probably be in better hands with someone else; this wonder of technic has to be use to create and always create more, not to taking the dust on a shelf. I paid 1500€ for this few months ago, so I'm asking 1300€ today, in regard to what I payed back in the days, I think it's fair enough. I barely used it, it's truly like a new thing. Here's the official presentation of this specific lens: "   If ever there was an anamorphic design which could be considered as the father of widescreen, We suppose that unit must be the HYPERGONAR. Let's go back a little in time. To 1927, to be exact, when the dapper little Professor Henri Chrétien, mathematician and astronomer and featured in the french version of "Who's Who ?", gave his famous Paper to the Academy of Science in Paris. Prof. Chrétien's thesis outlined his calculations on a lens that he called the HYPERGONAR. This lens took an extra angle of view in the horizontal plane only and compressed this in to the, then, pre-academy format motion picture frame. The professor's idea being to get extra information on to standard emulsion area, thus obviating the need for wider or larger - and therefore more costly - filmstock. Of course, we all know (don't we?), that the HYPERGONAR was the basis of the CinemaScope lens finally adopted by 20th CENTURY Fox Inc. This design also became the little 8mm HYPERGONAR. The little 8mm HYPERGONAR is the most famous of all the CinemaScope lenses, (It's the only one allowed to carry that famous name on its barrel). And deservdly so, since it is an excellent little unit that is capable of absolutely superb visual results, while being small enough to be within most peoples pockets! In construction the 8mm HYPERGONAR is unique. With a minimal length, at least half that of its nearest rival, and a very small diameter. It is virtually a solid block of glass, a beautifully made objective and a delight to use. It gives a screen format of 2:35:1 assuming that your Super-8 frame size is somewhere near to the normal 4x3 aspect ratio.  SPECIFICATIONS:  - Lenght, front to rear       42mm  - Diameter of front lens     29.5mm  - Diameter of rear lens      15mm  - Weight                             45 grms.  " Feel free to contact me if you've got any questions.
