Is there an inexpensive way to add video assist to the eyepiece directly? I don't care if I can't look through it while the video is attached, for now. I plan to convert it later. on edit: It's a super 16mm.

Thanks, Brian. Don't feel too bad about selling your woolly mammoth... look at it this way. I have to sell ALL of mine if I'm going to afford this camera. 8^)

I have a few questions about this camera, which is a super 16mm piece. 1] What is the speed range? Is it crystal sync at 24fps? 2] Is there any concern with adaptors, say Arri B to Aaton (one comes with this particular camera)? 3] If it has been serviced at the factory in France within the last 3 years and passed the registration tests, is previous service history an issue? 4] What disadvantages are there to an LTR 7?

Did you mean "can't get a sharp and consistent..." ? Ahh, interesting... a "C-roll" matte in negative would have a clear letterbox and burn the print to black. I've been working/thinking in reversal for too long! This idea never crossed my mind. Thanks to both of you for your help.

i have heard that Angenieux 12-120mm zoom vignettes when used for super 16, but the 15-150mm zoom works (because it was originally designed for a largish video chip). does your 12-120mm lens cover the entire super 16mm area?

I just weighed my CP16 (non-reflex) with one full magazine and a 12-120 Angenieux and it was about 18 lbs.

hi everybody. i'm new and inexperienced, and my last 4 hours of using the search function hasn't helped answer these particular questions: 1] when preparing a film for a festival, is an optical track on standard 16mm still used? 2] if a film is shot on super 16mm, is 35mm blowup absolutely necessary for festival projection, or are there projection machines available that have full-coat mag running parallel to the super 16mm film? 3] if i want to prepare a standard 16mm film for 1.85 projection, is it possible to shoot the negative with a prepped camera that has black cards on the matte box or a carefully-cut mask inserted in the filter holder next to the film? the purpose of this would be to have a film that was shot wide and able to be projected on standard 16mm projectors. does anyone do this?
