Hi ang. 10 150 is a very old but i thing the most affortable for a newcamer to 16 mm film. Is not quiet sharp as the zeiss or the cooke and there is some wormer at the tones but that i thing is a matter of flavor. It cannot be used in super 16mm it does the vignettes. I used a lot one of those on a cp 16 r years ago and caused the vignettes a liitle at the corners enen on standar 16. Thanasis Diamantopoulos Cinematographer Athens Greece.

Hi I thing that the adaptor for this lense is for video cameras screw mount and looks very worn. BTW i have an angenieux 15 150 2.8 with my super 16 camera and the lense covers the super 16 . I am not a fan of ang lenses but tis one is quiet sharp. I used some times a Cannon 25 100 for video cameras in my c mount eclair npr.

HI I thing there are not meny lenses for those camera . A good choice for a starter to standard 16 mm in cp mount is the anjenieux 10 150 old lense but covers in one whole the range of lenses can be used in a shooting. CP 16 ra is a reflex camera i was working about three years with one of those and i never seen any adaptor to c mount , i have a cp to m42 2x extender adaptor and that was very difficult to find. regards Thanasis Diamantopoulos Cinematographer Athens Greece.

Hi I am an owner of a jvc hd 111,at my last project a feature film i had the camera vertical on awall for a scene at the side of the lcd about two hours nothing happened. a lot of times i put this camera vertica or upside down and nothig happened at all.even on the top of a car upside down. BTW i thing that is a rule in this forum to use your real name or correct name.

Hi Antony. Running the camera with the variable speed motor at the end of ther there is some change at tthe frame speed so you have to make always a small correction. Running the constand is better in that way. That is something that always hapened to me running the variable speed motor. The better as you know is the crystal motor.

Hi For that money you can try or an arri bl 16 or an eclair npr you can find alot on ebay they are also sync sound and have 400 ft mags. NPR can be converted to S 16 easyer that Bl For the both of them are very cheap lenses and accesories.

Did you apply this technique in Oikonomides film?

Thanks a lot for the advises. I did a test yestarday shooting with some hight contrast film for titles and i am waiting the process. I had used my arri 2 c with an old planar 50mm in 28-30 fps. KARL the producer things that testing cameras and lenses and films is just to spend his money. :rolleyes:

Handcranking would be ideal but the producer things that this is very timeconsuming. And i have never done it before. I thing that i am going to use some old olanars made around 1937-38. I trying to get sime hight contrast film internegatife or that for titles and test it. Thanks. Thanasis Diamantopoulos Cinematographer Athens Greece.

Sorry for my bad English. I want to create the look of the movies where done at the years 1905-1915. With all the problems for a past time scene in the movie that i am shooting. I need old lenses with all their problems to do that. The real problem is the camera that we are going to use for the movie is an arri bl4s pl mount. For this scene i can use my arri 2c . Thats the older camera we can get. The ideal was to get an old camera of those years but we couldn't find a desent one that works. I am trying to find out what tupe of lenses i can use.

Thanks for the advice of the tricks . Do you know what lenses can i use i mean what old lenses uncoated are availiable for modern 35mm cameras or 2c arri standar?

Hi At my new project there are some scenes that must looking like the old bw movies before the ww2 i can manage the flicker and the apochromatick look technicaly but the lenses those years where not coated like the newest. At the tests some taylor hobson and some zeisss sonnars and some sneider didn't look like those Specialy in whites like mariage dresses the old lenses canot handle the white reflection at all as you know. The point is that i am shooting with an arri 2c and i need to know what old lenses can i use to mount on the camera. Thanks. Thanasis Diamantopoulos Cinematographer Athens Greece.

Hi If you look around the forum you will find a lot of informations about 35 mm cameras in detail. 2c is a very fine camera depenting for the reason you are going to use it. You can purchase a package very cheap and find a lot of spare parts to upgrade the camera crystal motors, pl mounts, cheap lenses, bateries , not heavy at all and still serviced. Konvas 35 mm are very fine cameras. Eclair cameflex .

HI REBECCA I AM owner a bl s 16 no 24 camera. I thing is avery good camera for a student. But there are some things that you must be carefull. Bl needs prime blimb for extra lenses.NPR LTR SR ACL CP DONT. It isn't so quiet as the others specialy a non servised good. My best advise is to rend a bl for a day and play a little with the camera if you don't know about it. Is very heavy and not for handheld . S16 or 16 mm the pictures are greate from this camera. Using good glass. BL can mount arri stb and bayo lenses that they are easy to find and specialy old primes sonnars planars distagons. And ofcourse needs a good tripod head for havy cameras.BTW is an old camera probably you will shoot your student projects and then you have to keep it like a museum piece. :rolleyes: sorry for my english. ps. i just sold an eclair npr s 16 as an old camera and i might sell bl in the future but i am keeping it like a memory from the film days i prefer working sr ltr or xtr.

Hi I am wondering if there are other crystal sync motors or modifications for 2c cameras exept tobin or c.e.

Hi you can try the kinors dc 2k and dc 4k pl mound, costs around your money.

Even 42 db is noisier than npr acl ,cp ,or even an old bl thats the right comparison and i was talking about camera noise. Even using a crystal sync motor you can not minimize the noise. I am not against the russian cameras i know how great images they create. I am looking now to purchaze a kinor 35h.

Hi OLEX Happy new year to you and to all I have never used a kinor 16 sx-1m or 2m camera but i know that the sound that comes out of the camera it is over 50 db how synk sound is that? NPR ,CP,ACL,BL you can get origonal sound from the interiors and having a lot of problems specialy from old cameras like that . I know that kinors are crystal sync but for sync sound a camera must be blimbed.

Hi mike happy new year yes i have a deal.

Yes the camera is converted to super 16 Hi Michael I want the deal to be in europe for the reason that if someone want come and test the camera is easy for him or to sed it for test. And if the is any reason for returning the camera back it is easyer for me to return the money. USA CANADA and others are very far. NO

IT IS TIME TO GET RID MY S 16 ECLAIR SO IAM SELLING THE PACKAGE 1) ECLAIR NPR S 16 BODY ARRI B MOUNT AND C MOUNT 2) ANGENIEUX VF 3) BEUALA CIPRI CRYSTAL MOTOR FOR 25 AND 24 FPS 4) ANGENIEUX 15-150 ARRI B MOUNT 5) TWO MAGAZINES 7) MATEBOX I am the second owner of the camera never been a rendal camera. The camera comes in original case. It works perfect and the lense is like new. Prise 1500 euro and ships only in europe. For questions and pictures fp.films@yahoo.com

But i assume that croping s16 film and getting smaller exposed area on the frame loosing more quality blowing the negative to s16.

Thank for all the replays. Sorry David but my English are not the best .Some times my wife translates the posts for me. BTW. I thing that the best advise is to crop the sides of the frames. I have to start the tests.
