This camera needs a complete overhaul. Optical Electro House quoted me $900 after George Zorzoli inspected the camera in his shop. Ground glass has markings for 1.33 full frame only, no TV pumpkin, no cross hairs. This is a somewhat rare camera in the States, as I've seen dozens of NPRs and not one without the TV pumpkin on the ground glass, or an Arri B mount, and this camera has both. This NPR is well worth the overhaul. $600 ANGENIEUX Orientable Viewfinder for NPR #1055 This comes with metal cap to protect threads/glass, and Arri rubber eyecup. This eyepiece is in excellent condition and makes your NPR into a new camera. $650 AATON ALCAN motor 24/25fps, and variable speed 5-32fps. Very good condition.

Scott, YES, the change bag is still available. Contact me at letourneau(dot)alain(at)gmail(dot)com -Alain

I thought I'd post another person's findings after they contacted AZ Spectrum. Andrew can do speed modifications to the Alcan for $900. If you are familiar with Andrew's work then you know it's good, and this is a decent price for having variable speeds on a motor that makes the NPR a wonderful camera to operate. -Alain

SOLD! -Alain

I can't recall having studied an Analyst closely for steadiness at 24fps projection. I have a friend in Van BC who has two that he uses for dual projector performances, but it's mainly to slow things down. I would imagine it is as steady as a Kodak Pageant, which can be laterally steady, thanks to well designed guide rails, but vertically it can develop play requiring the claw pitch to be adjusted. Lamp and optics are the limitation of the Pageant, otherwise the movement is very good, very easy on film. -Alain

This motor is NOT variable speed. It is 24 and 25 fps crystal speeds only. Talk to Andrew at AZ Spectrum to determine if you can have the motor modifying to run variable speeds. -Alain

Ken, Is Lafayette a Kodak Analyst projector with a Lafayette nameplate? -Alain

I left out another option.... Eiki EX-4000 was intermittant and a manual threader. I've seen some coming up on eBay lately. -Alain

I use to just leave the C mount adapter on my SBM, then covered the lens port with a C mount cap. -Alain

Because canvas is king? I like the idea of buying a cotton canvas bag over nylon (even if cotton is one of the more heavily sprayed crops), and I find the material holds up rather well. I have a riggers bag for tools (tons of pockets) which cost me I think $20, and a large LL Bean tote for all my rawstock, film cans, black bags, extra camera cores, changing bag, and mag barney, and the white color is good for reflecting light/heat. I've been using a nylon Lowe Pro bag that someone gave me, and while it works ok if I'm working out of a car I hate moving around with the thing. Not very well designed if you ask me. I used to own a Domke F2 and always loved that bag, so I was wondering if anyone knew of bags similar to this. I think I'll end up getting an F1X to suit my needs. -Alain

Yes, I have one of those "riggers bags" for my tools. They are great for hauling tools, but I'd like a bag that has a lid and a bit of padding for some protection. Beckel makes nice bags, I have a number of small canvas bags from them that I use for lighting clamps and such. Good suggestion about having them make one, however it seems that it would likely cost more than a Domke. -Alain

Thanks Patrick... I didn't know this company existed. I find the bags a little large, and expensive, and I will never understand why AC bags have to be black or dark blue.... not great colors for sitting out in the sun. At least Cinebags makes gray ones, but then they are still so large.... And BTW I'm looking for CANVAS not nylon. I'll probably stick with the Domke, I just wish it was larger. I seem to recall I was going to get some series 9 retaining rings from you, at least I think that was you? Do you still have those rings? If so, let me know when you'll be in SE as I around my studio most days, esp in the mornings. -Alain

Can anyone recommend a canvas ditty bag that is similar in style to the Domke F-1X, but slightly larger? I like the domke's top flap/lid and pocket design, but think the bag is a little small for my needs. -Alain
