Kinor 35H kit and lenses

Recommended Posts

I am selling off my 35H package, and first to go are my 35mm, 50mm, 75mm round-front OCT-19 mounted anamorphics. (see here: http://members.optusnet.com.au/%7Esmort1/lomos/lomos -- might actually be the exact same lenses, as they came from steve morton).

Asking $3000 for the set, but will consider selling individually.

 

A quick backgrounder... my 35H (the "black beauty" seen here: http://www.cinemods.com ) always had a bit of a soft image, and it turns out the previous owner really put it through a beating according to Bernie at Super16 Inc. (smucked the mirror into the body, skipped some gears perhaps). Basically, a slight vibration is to blame for the softness. As a result, in light of spending upwards of $2000 or so to repair it by replacing the mechanical guts, I've decided to part ways with it :)

 

I am also currently selling my 35OPF18-1 zoom.. asking $1500.

 

Probably will be keeping my primes though, for use with a DOF-adapter in the future, although I will entertain offers (6 lenses, ranging from 18-75mm).

 

The lenses are all in great shape, and tested fine on a backup 35H body.

 

Also will be selling the 2 black 400 foot mags ($300 ea), and the 1000 footer ($500). They were rebuilt, done up black (the 400's), and had better soundproofing applied by Steve Morton.

 

If anyone is interested in the 35H body, I'd sell it for $1500. Has a video tap installed, with B&W pal CCD, XLR-4 power jack, electronics are fine.. just probably needs a new motor/movement to fix the soft-image problem (Raf @ rafcamera.com has another 35H with burn electronics up for $1700 or so, and a 35C for $1500 that would make good donors to get this camera back to tip-top shape).

 

Anywhoo...

 

Cheers,

Sean (in Ottawa)

It was a fantastic package... the camera body is going to be headed back to Australia for a proper tune-up, and may not in fact be as broken as I was led to believe.

This documentary was shot with the 35H:

Really Nice footage, is amazing that Written in Stone is not in IMDB, is a really well done omvie, it reminded me of those doc of the National Geo. back in the 80, really nice

I just bought a Super 16 cam, if not I would off consider your package
