Alex Turner Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 This is my personally owned and operated Super 16mm PL Mount Eclair NPR Camera package. I’ve used it on several projects, most notably as a b-camera on portions of my last feature film, RED SANDS (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1103256/). Originally modified in England by Les Bosher, this complete camera package comes with both an Arri PL mount and a re-centered "C" mount. This complete package includes (3) 400 foot magazines, 1 Angenieux 17.5-70mm T2.5 PL mount lens, 1 Kinoptik Tegea 5.7 T1.8 C-Mount lens, 1 Switar 10mm H16 RX T1.6 C-Mount lens, 1 Angenieux Orientable Eyepiece, 1 custom Perfectone motor (crystal & HMI speeds, 10 to 40fps), 1 hard to find Tobin Milliframe Controller TMC, 2x 12v battery packs with chargers and 2 Pelican 1600 cases. This is the perfect camera package to shoot just about anything, be it a spec spot, documentary, indie-feature, music video or to use for pick-ups. I don’t believe you can find a better complete Super 16mm package for the price ABOUT THE CAMERA: The NPR was really the first of the so-called “cinema verite” motion picture cameras. The first to offer factory-installed wireless crystal sync sound shooting and the first camera to ever be modified for Super-16. You cannot open an American Cinematographer magazine from the late 1960’s through the 70’s and not find it packed with articles about films being made using the Eclair NPR camera. Rugged, dependable, adaptable, reliable… ABOUT THE INCLUDED LENSES: Angenieux 17.5-70mm PL Mount Compact Zoom Lens Custom PL mounted Angenieux 17.5-70mm lens covers Super 16mm throughout the zoom range. Front and rear caps and zoom stick are included. This lens is also compatible with single chipped PL mounted digital cameras ie. Red Camera and SI-2K. Kinoptik 5.7mm T2 C-Mount Amazing ultra wide angle lens. This is the widest non-fisheye to cover the Super 16 format without vignetting. Great for hand held shots or use it with a Steadicam and make uber-smooth fluid shots. Includes front and rear caps. Switar 10mm f1.6 C-Mount Shows signs of use on the outside but glass is clean & sharp. Close focus to 8 inches. Can be used on any C-Mount camera. Front mount is 32mm. This is a sweet little lens – the 10mm Switar in particular is famous for its stellar performance and color reproduction. Includes front and rear caps. ABOUT THE OTHER ACCESSORIES: Tobin Milliframe Controller The Tobin Milliframe Controller (TMC) permits speed control of a compatible movie camera in .001 FPS (frame per second,) or milliframe, steps. This is done to enable filming at various rates under HMI discharge lamps, fluorescent lights, or metal-arc street lights without having a flicker or pulsation in the film. Or, it enables filming with a video or computer monitor in the shot, controlling the shutter bar. It can just be used to provide traditional speeds that are not present on the camera's speed dial. * Please note you will need to purchase a Fischer connector cable from a vendor such as Visual Products or DuAll Camera as we lost ours on a shoot. Arri Compatible Support Rods The Arri Compatible Support Rods allow you to mount a follow focus unit, Matte Box and other accessories. Pelican 1600 Cases Pelican cases are basically unbreakable, watertight, dustproof, chemical resistant and corrosion proof. They are made of Ultra High Impact structural copolymer that makes them extremely strong and durable. Pelican’s exclusive 1/4" (6.4 mm) neoprene o-ring and ABS latches seal perfectly and include an automatic purge valve for quick equalization after changes in atmospheric pressure. These are the best transportation/storage solutions available for your gear. EVERYTHING INCLUDED IN THIS SALE: 3x 400' Magazines Custom Perfectone Crystal/Variable speed motor 2 x 12 volt 5ah Battery & 2 chargers Angenieux Orientable Viewfinder Arri Compatible Support Rods Super-16 1:66/TV Groundglass (Bernie O'Doherty did his “Laserbrighten” process on this) Angenieux 17.5-70mm T2.5 PL mount Kinoptik Tegea 5.7 T1.8 C-Mount Switar 10mm H16 RX T1.6 C-Mount Tobin Milliframe Controller TMC (missing cable) Sound Blimp for Magazine 2x Pelican 1600 Cases Instruction Manual (reprint) $3500.00 Fell free to call Alex @ 310.770.5606 or email with any questions.
