Thanks The NPR was originally only made in 16mm. Many people have made S16mm conversions for it. In the UK try: Les Bosher http://www.lesbosher.co.uk/ In the USA try: Bernie O'Doherty http://super16inc.com/ or George Zorzoli http://www.opticalelectrohouse.com/ :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thibaut de Chemellier Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 My NPR was modified by Les Bosher...but I'm not really totally satisfied with the Ground glass. Since the NPR was made in S16mm ( not much, I agree) I assume there is some S 16mm GG...I've seen Eclair original S16 spare camera gate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there was an Eclair S16 ground glass. I have seen one as part of a conversion kit with S16 gate and S16 turret ages ago at a rental house that no longer exists. But as to where to find one...?

You can try Gerard Galle in France, but I doubt he has one. http://www.eclair-cameras.net/ BTW, thanks for the scans of the NPR service manual. Did you say they were scans from the original document or from a photocopy of the original document? -Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thibaut de Chemellier Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Hi Alain, I've already looked for a S16mm GG at Gerard Galle place but he hasn't got any...He has many things including a very rare Eclair Panoram switchable 16/S16mm camera...unfortunatly it's in rather bad shape... :( About the service manual, it came from Gerard's documentations and it was a photocopy that I've scanned.

Erkan Umut Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 About the service manual, it came from Gerard's documentations and it was a photocopy that I've scanned. Dear Thibaut, I need the service manuals e.g. parts catalogues of eclair NPR & ACL. If you have scans still, could you please email me. Thanks a lot... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
