16S random musings

[Duncan Brown]

When I have a random thought about the 16S I'll post it here.  I would be interested to hear what other people ponder too!

Do you think if Arri had it to do over again, they'd put the drive ball on the gearbox, and the rubber coupling on the motors?  Even if you weren't thinking ahead to people still using these cameras 60 years later, that was always going to be a wear item, something that needs predictable periodic replacement - why bury it inside the camera like that?
