Thank you Saulie, that's very enlightening. I think I'll wait for an ACL2 motor to come along. Regards, Marc.

Thanks. They don't seem to have anything for ACLs, though. I am just wondering if the 24-48ips CP motor is as powerfull as the original Eclair 12-75ips motor. I'm concerned about the 4OOft mags and battery drain. Marc.

Has anybody out there experienced the 24-48ips CP motor made for the Eclair ACL?. Marc

Thank you. It is a problem about the noise. Another thing, ACLs load emulsion side out. A DP told me he used to reverse the film by twisting it at some point in the mag, but said it's a long time ago and he can't remember the exact gesture. It certainly would save a trip to the darkroom. Does anyone out there use this technique with the ACL, and could you tell me more about it? Thanks, and a beautiful stroll into the next year to you all. Marc.

That CBC guy sounds pretty swift. Good picture. All I would need is a car with a trunk on it, or get swift enough loading that good old ACL in a trunkless bag ... Anywayz, it just sounds like sometimes a fast unprepared loading might be needed. By the way, do Kodak and Fuji condition 400ft daylight loads? Keep on shooting, Marc.

Hi, Charles, Would you say that using a 4OOft daylight spool would mean wasting 50ft of film? That's about 10 times what you waste on a 200ft spools. It does sound like a lot... Anyway, in case I was alone to operate the camera and wanted to shoot several takes of a long sequence shot that would'nt put up with long intermissions, my question really is: Is there any technical reason that would prevent me from using daylight spools in an ACLII magazine? Regards, Marc.

I read a lot about loading the ACL 200 ft magazines with daylight spools or A-minima spools, but has any of you used daylight spools with the 4OOft mags? The ACL notice doesn't mention daylight loading for the 4OOft mags. I wonder why. A merry Xmas to you all, Marc.

Hi, does anybody know where to find an Elmo 16-A owner's manual? Marc.
