Richter Auto Collimator System For Your Cine PL Glass!

[Adam VanVoorhis]

Legendary Richter Auto Collimator System from the mid 1980's. Complete system including a whole slew of lens objectives, lens mounts, standards with gauges, fiber optic light source, and even additional spare parts!

For the past 3 years this system was sitting in storage. (It was in active service until 2014) While the system is working, it will absolutely require refurbishment to perform optimally.
The optics and mechanics will require cleaning and adjustment to restore the system to its original glory and is thus sold as is in this condition.

Bidding starts on eBay at $200.00

Nice one! Includes depth gauges and master cylinders for Arri PL, Bayonet and Standard mounts, which can also be used to check camera flange depths. Essential tools for anyone wanting to work on film cameras and lenses, or just to check that their lenses are correctly shimmed for back-focus.

Does someone have the manual for one of these R2 collimators? I have one that came with my 16BL that I purchased. It doesn’t come with a test bench unfortunately but the actual collimator itself is all there. Was thinking about learning to use it with my Bolex and any film camera really.
