That sounds amazing! Glad to hear. I had the opportunity to work with OPTARs in the past, they had very good contrast. Optar Illuminas are made by JSC "OPTIKA" in St. Petersburg (in the USSR: NPO "EKRAN", Leningrad) exclusively for the U.S. You are close, did you visit the factory?

Dom, thank you very much for your good words!

An engineer's approach of course. :D

Dear Heikki, Sincere thanks for your continuing interest!

Guys, please be patient, there are lots of information both of junk to be cleaned, and perfect to be added. Need time...

Dear Members, I am a Prof. of Cinematography, and desperately need help. I am looking for a member whose has engineering knowledge and/or is interested in the subject. I have a 6-page Chinese (S) engineering document (in .doc or .pdf) related to the 35mm movie projector framing device specifically. Can anyone help me? Your help will be highly appreciated! Best, Erkan

By the way, some of us warned about this before: Our subject and purpose of this post are for a new-born Super 8 camera. Why do we jump to other formats and cameras? :D ;)

Exactly Brian, so correct! Guys, please don't understand me wrong, but will we want to go back to the end 1800's and the beginning to 1900's? More sophisticated cameras do need a group of engineers, technicians, etc., as well as more complex manufacturing facilities. Don't be dreaming so much! Even you want to copy them! History tells everything...

Some cameras accept replaceable 2-perf. movements by native design, not all. But some houses offer the custom-built movements to the non-replaceable cameras. But the ARRI cameras having the 2-perf. mounted, due to low torque, may cause jams in the magazines except AATON specially built for it. Its definitely not a new approach. The exactly same format called TechniScope, designed by Italians, was available on the market in the 60s and 70s.

Never worked with an SR-3 having a bad video assist and B&W before... Maybe you point out the SRIIs having the VAFE made by PHILIPS. 10 years are nothing for those workhorses just after a general overhaul. Then your source should be not eBay with cheap priced offerings thrown away from rental houses. Try other dependable sources such as Visual Products, Inc. in the States, or pay more on eBay for individually used equipment... Forget about to take your time and spend your money with a K-3, even you cannot thread film automatically without frills. Thou its steadiness is not so bad, I and Mr. Kenneth Richter (designer of the RICHTER Auto-collimators and small EMP 16mm helmet cameras, won a Technical Oscar) had checked the steadiness at my home in Istanbul in 1991. When you hit the camera somewhere, you gonna loose its TTL exposure meter system instantly...

I agree with Brian completely! For Super 8, a sophisticated camera well described before, it is a need. But for Super16 and 35mm, there are a lot of 2nd hand sophisticated cameras already on the market.

Once I have tested it: Leaving a lens in cold helps, causing to force the internal grease viscosity gets solidified. But not a proper solution... By the way, interestingly, I never faced with that problem, a lens behaves different when used in different camera mounts in same type...

By the way, I am the admin of the popular ECLAIR 16MM COMMUNITY @ http://eclair16.com. We have been discussed these lenses among the followers a lot of time. They have got good results when the correct lenses are used. Yes, PENTAX and Cosmicar offer good manual lenses as far as I know. I don't like the new manual lenses with the locking mechanisms on the lens barrels...

You are welcome by all means! I should check the film I've shot again just to be more specific and correct, but I have no Telecine possibility at home to share with you unfortunately, and I do not want to transfer it to digital using my projector thou my ELMO is one of the good models. In any case, it may be not correct to compare it with the TV Zooms. I never try to compare it with Kern lenses, etc. of course. But its OK for its price, and available as brand new. Also, its made in Japan from a good company at least. Worth to try... Certainly, keep away from the lenses Friedemann told before. But this lens and similar are different than those. Let me check my literature as I have almost all the documentation form serious manufacturers. What I know exactly is I've tested several times for the back focus on the eclair ACL II and FUJICA ZC1000 C-mounts for its clearance to the mirrors. Everything is proper and perfect. Good built quality. Hope this helps for now.
