 1980s Lomo Round Front Anamorphic Primes f2.5 75mm,
35mm and 50mm (L-R) in Russian mounts. These anamorphic lenses are of
the
preferred design where the spherical prime and anamorphic elements are
fixed.
Focus is controlled by a pair of spherical elements at the very front
of the
lens.
This design produces minimal image distortion (compared to the square
fronts)
when pulling focus. Minimum focus is 1 metre. Round fronts can be
readily
converted to PL mount. |

75mm, 35mm and 50mm. The front of the 50mm and 75mm is about 100mm in
diameter |
|
 1970s-80s Lomo Square Front Anamorphic Primes, 35mm
2.8, 50mm 2.4 and 80mm 2.5. These lenses focus by the positional shift
of
the spherical prime (in the traditional way) while the spacing between
anamorphic
elements changes at the same time. Minimum focus is 1 metre without
additional
close-up lenses. The square fronts fit the Konvas 2M/8M but 35mm will
not
fit
a Kinor 35H. |

 Rear view of Russian Lomo Square Front Anamorphic Primes,
35mm, 50mm and 80mm, in Russian mount. It is possible to convert these
lenses
to PL mounts but it is much more complicated than converting the round
fronts |

 (left) OPF-7 and OPF-9 Lomo , rear of zoom anamorphic
adaptors. These "small" rear of zoom anamorphic
adaptors
were often used with the 25-250mm Lomo zoom, making it a 50-500mm zoom
with
the loss of a bit more than one stop of light. |

 Xray of 100mm
anamorphic lenses. The top image is an Xray of a 100mm Lomo round
front. The lower image is an Xray of a series one Hawk 100mm anamorphic
lens. Gosh the optical elements in each look very similar...Hmmm |
