really depends on what you want to do man, I'd sell one of the Éclairs simply because it'd be nice to have a not-so valueable camera to shoot more simple things with (i like to shoot stuff on the beach, etc. and theres a lot less risk of you messing up a really nice sync sound camera (dont get me wrong the Bolex is nice). The ACL seems like a better thing to sell(simply because of the dual lens mount) but I like the ACL more because of the ergonomics. Bottom line, think about what you'll be doing, we can only help you to a point man.

Optical-Electro House in Culver City, CA. World class, and they specialize in Éclair.

yeah i was shooting something near my school with mine when people began asking me to film them(it was an old roll i was messing around in the first place), and they started making up lines to say when i shot them. i laughed, some people really dont know that not all cameras record sound etc.

thank you so much, i was just wondering, do you do sync sound with the 25fps motor?

I have some questions about the Kinor 16 camera i want to get. How does the "sync sound pulse" work? How would i rig it to a DAT? Also, the 25fps motor, can i sync sound to it? I want to shoot a sync sound film with this camera and would be buying it to shoot stuff with sync sound, would this be a good choice?

hahahahhahahahhaha, now THATS dedication

if you notice on one of the "stephane show" cardboard cameras, a box used to make the prop is a Fujifilm Eterna 500 box. hah cool response man.

anybody know what this was shot on? both filmwise and camera wise.

BY THE WAY, if you're trying to match to sodium vapor (orangish light), throw some 1/2 CTO with 1/4 +G on a tungsten lamp.

the bayonet version you want to twist the two knobs on top and bottom clockwise i believe.

The best way to clean the gate is to use an orange stick, thats what i use at least. You dont want to use canned air because it can make dust go everywhere and you've accomplished nothing. Get a magnifying glass and stick a flashlight on the gate, and then use an orange stick to get all the hairs and dust off. Good luck man. PS- Though its not that important, a lot of dust can get on the ground glass too so you might want to use a piece of DRY lens cloth placed at the end of an orange stick and GENTLY get the dust and hairs off.

try a dummy roll first
