Heh...I guess it's more obscure than I had expected.

I have a friend who says he has a 15-150 to sell me but I don't know anything about it. I own two 12-120's and I'm not sure if spending money on a 15-150 would bring any advantages. By the way, I have an interesting adapter that allows me to use M42 lenses on the NPR's C mount. I haven't tried it yet but I can only imagine what it would do if I put my Vivitar 300mm on it!

An eyepatch would be hilarious.

I like the lens, it's just going to be a nightmare to find it in CA-1 mount. I was given an adapter from Arri to CA-1 made by Les Bosher but I never tried it. I guess I'll read up on the different Arri mounts, I haven't a clue which Arri mount my adapter accepts, as it was a gift.

I own an Eclair NPR and I've been curious about Ultra 16 for a few years now. The conversion means I can keep the lenses I have and not worry about getting Super 16 lenses. I was wondering if anyone here has done this conversion and whether you have regrets. There aren't that many samples on Vimeo (their search feature is awful, by the way), but I liked the few I did see.

Hi Dom, I've seen some NPRs in the past that came with the 25-250, that's why I decided to start looking. My camera is actually regular 16, not Super. For the moment. I'm not sure where I'm going with it, I'm heavily tempted to convert to Ultra 16 but that's for a different thread. Thanks for the suggestions.

You got me at GREEN ACRES. Hope you'll keep us posted.

Parody is generally free use and from what he's saying, the context of the quotes is that of parody.

Totally fine as long as the lines are not sung ;-) Treat Williams improvised a De Niro impression in a movie some time ago, and I've seen it done many times. SUPERNATURAL reused the entire gun shop scene almost line by line from TERMINATOR, nobody got in trouble. SUPERNATURAL is actually a repeat offender in that department. They also re-used the "I knew it was real" bit from GALAXY QUEST among others. I remember one 80's horror movie that, I guess, didn't have the budget for song rights from the 50's. The main character was a reincarnated beauty queen from the 50's killing teenagers. They had her humming everything from "Tutti Frutti" to "Blue Suede Shoes" instead of singing and I guess they got away with it. (On a different note, IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE was believed to be in the public domain for a few years so scenes from it ended up being used in a horror movie, with the Bedford Falls people turning into zombies. But that's another story)

How much should I pay for an Angenieux 25-250 WITHOUT getting ripped off? Need for my NPR. If anyone knows an inexpensive source, I'm all eyes.

20.5 pounds. I just looked it up and the Bogen is rated for 22 pounds.

That's the Disapproving Hipster Barista Who Thinks You're Obviously Wrong.

Any idea how well that Bogen would handle an Eclair NPR?

Well, I don't always agree with you, but for some reason every time you post personal opinions, a bunch of people turn into this:

Someone down-arrowed me for this? LOL!

My daughter is almost 9, has been making stop motion since she was 5, and occasionally asks me to look up stuff for her on filmmaking...on this forum.

I didn't mean in the forum, I meant "we" as in the folks over here where the film opened first. If I keep talking too much from personal POV, though, I can tell I'm going to be the forum's next Tyler Purcell. ;-)

Coincidentally, at 3:50 into this video...

Yeah I shot a test roll on it and I noticed that the frame counter wasn't working. Other than that I forgot to seal the camera with gaffer tape (the inner foam light seal ring disintegrated) so I'm going to be shooting another roll today, I hope. By the way, does the handle on your 814XL-S still lock into position? Mine doesn't want to lock into the down position anymore. I hear some parts of that camera were never meant to last this long and it has some stuff like some gears that turn to mush over time.

Nick, I'm a bit confused by one piece of info. Both you and David say to overexpose and to stop down to the middle. How can I do both? Especially in bright sunlight or indoors, what is the workflow there? I look forward to receiving my camera test roll back from Tak. I think it might have light leaks though, I'm sending the ZC-1000 to Bernie soon for a CLA.

Nick, thank you very much for this. Funny I forgot I posted that, and it's only been a few days. Since then, I ordered Provie 100 from Tak at Retro 8 and he's sent me a bunch of Single 8 carts. I'll still try to do this with my 814XLS. Looks amazing. Did you use 18fps or 24fps?

Haha, I said in the post to look at 5:15 in the video, he talks about that, no need to watch the whole thing.

Gregg, look at this: https://youtu.be/wpCCWJRCXNM?t=5m15s At 5:15
