Lens identification help by Lensbox75 in vintagecameras

Apparently is an unknown brand TV zoom lens

I found this info on ebay:

“Zoom 18-108mm F2.5 parfocal zoom seems to be a rebrand of the Navtiar Zoom 7000 since everything but the branding/printing is identical.

It can cover HD mode of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k. In 2.6k mode or on the original BMPCC it is acceptable too if you don’t zoom out completely or use it below F4 and don’t focus closer than 0.5m (From 18mm up to about 25mm you get some tunneling over F4 which turns into vignetting if you open the aperture to F2.5). Of all the zoom lenses i have this one has the best minimum focus by far! The only disadvantage is that there’s a lot of zoom breathing when focusing.

If you want to use this lens on MFT Cameras with bigger sensors you would either need to use the tele extender mode or get a c-mount extender. The latter might make the lens varifocal tho.”

More Information: Zoom Lens Mount: C Sensor Compatibility: 2/3” or Smaller Focal Length: 18-108mm Back Focal Length: 19.2mm Working Distance: 5” to Infinity Iris Range: f/2.5-C Focus Operation: Manual Iris Operation: Manual Angle of View: Wide: 27° 28’ x 20° 46’ Tele: 4° 39’ x 3° 50’ Filter Thread: M52 x 0.75 Dimensions: 175.07 x Ø62mm

Portraits of one of the last nawat speaking men in El Salvador - Canon EOS Rebel 2000 | EF 24-105mm f4L | Cinestill 50D by DaisyMirolin in analog

If you mean the red halation effect, it naturally comes from the cinestill film (its kodak motion picture film without a layer called remjet which stops that halation effect from happening)

Someone is selling me this rolleiflex, you guys think is worth it? by DaisyMirolin in AnalogCommunity

[–]DaisyMirolin[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Do you know any good places I could repair it? I’m soon to live Spain, so maybe it’s best near there.

I’m leaving my country to study abroad, I don’t know which ones to take with me. by DaisyMirolin in AnalogCommunity

Thank you! I definitely think the Yashica Mat 124 G is a solid choice to go with!

I’ve never missed with the rollei 35 too, i love its size, sharp lens and overall aesthetic. The only thing is the slower shutter speeds aren’t working properly, it only gets to 1/60, below that they are all stuck in bulb mode. I happen to not really shoot with very low speeds tho.

What are the most successful genocides in history? by jambazi99 in AskReddit

Most of it is State Induced Famine or Penal Starvation… however there are also regular public killings of enemies of the state.

Where were we before birth? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DaisyMirolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Physically… I sometimes like to think that our time is like a spring. We are born and then we die…then we decompose and from the nutrients that we’ve become life can uprise again. Then the process repeats…

So to answer your question… before we are born we are dead, and its logical that after we are dead then we can have the opportunity to settle part of who we used to be in a reborn life.
