Francis, these are nice starters!  I like the water drops, but the top of a cactus looks nice, too.

I am glad you like them, Akira !

Sorry. I am in the market for some crazy lenses ... What is this"95mm F1 RODENSTOCK XR-HELIGON X-RAY CINE MOVIE LENS" ... can this be F-converted for 24x36 qmm?

I've actually seen XR-Heligon 95mm/f1.4, but not 95/1.0...

[Bjørn Rørslett]

The description says "no aperture specified on barrel" and the measurements provided suit the 95/1.4  I have in my possession. However, it must be put into a very large and heavy casing you don't have any need for. Unless you want to save a trip to the local gym.

Another pic with this ''alleged Heligon'' with unknow aperture, unknow focal distance...

What I am pretty sure, is that is not faster than f/1, otherwise this lens would be much larger and certainly heavier.

Only few weeks to wait now until I get some clues from experts...

The Rodenstock Heligon 95 mm f/1.4 in my possession has the following vital dimensions: front element diameter 68 mm, rear element diameter 30 mm, overall length (front vertex to rear vertex) ca 120 mm.

I don't know, the 42mm f/.75 lenses are not that large, roughly 65mm diameter & 65mm length.

Can you post a picture of your lens and any markings on it?

[Bjørn Rørslett]

My replies were to FrankF that asked about an alleged 95 mm f/1 lens advertised on eBay ....

Oh whoops, I've lost track of myself.
Well which ever lens it is, it certainly has that Heligon aesthetic.

Well which ever lens it is, it certainly has that Heligon aesthetic.

I spent quite long time on internet to find the same (without success), but as you said, there are several versions/shapes of this lens.

Cheers, Francis.
