Good images!
How did you mount the lens - hot glue or gaffa tape - or a more sophisticated way?
I have seen your listing for selling such a lens, I assume it is f/2.0, not f/1.2?

does it have a diaphragm ?

No, this is a cine projector lens. If you wish to have deeper DOF you can use cardboard ring as diaphragm or adapter with blades as I do.

I think the unique part of this lens is the edge soft focus wide open, if you stop it down will look the same as many other lenses.

No projector lenses are different at F8 brutal sharp and bring thin dof like photographic lenses at F2 at leas this was my experience with Visionar at first time.

this is a unique lens only due to its specs, but if you can achieve theses results it must be one of a kind. Smile
