There is a tool Angenieux made for adjusting their spring loaded "C" mounts on their zooms. It's called a "T" wrench. Any rental house or repair shop has a bunch of them laying around. Should be free or at the most a few bucks.

Actually not so odd. These barrel mount (no focusing threads) lenses are very similar to the Zeiss Luminars which were also designed to be used with bellows or extension tubes.

Yep. Unless you by the type that actually mounts the camera lens on it. Sort of like a SLR without a film plane, just the ground glass.

What John says.

Annie did you get my PM about the lens? Something was going wonky (good chance of operator error) when I was trying to send it.

Go to the site listed below and look under "Newbies" or "operating and type in video. Lots of info there. http://www.steadicamforum.com/forums/index.php?

You could shoot on 65mm film and transfer to video.

That's what I always understood it to mean.

Yes, the academy members nominate the films.

And since Eyemos are getting harder to find (use to buy them by the crate for $25.00 apiece) the 2C's make nice crash cameras too.

For those of you stateside, you can buy it from Dereck Whitehouse. Probally save on the shipping that way.

PA for what? Camera, grip, craft services, etc.

4D Cinema? What time do I get there to see it? Before it starts or after it's over? lol Looks interesting though.

Or Wim Wenders Untill the End of the World
