  1. It's all BS until you provide proof.
  2. I can say with certainty the Genesis, F35 and SRW-9000 Optical blocks are identical in every way. Interchangeable I have tried optical blocks from F35 in Genesis and vice versa. The OLPF is the same across the line also. The ONLY real difference between Genesis and F35 is the F35 seems to be designed with the hot components moved to the outside for better cooling. The F35 has 4 fans, the Genesis has 5.
  3. Max Field THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS STATEMENT to make without any proof. Please back it up. This post is going to resurface over and over for years to come. Perhaps you were misinformed and now are too embarrassed to admit mistaken information? For everyone else reading these posts and coming here to ask the same question I put in a little time trying to find more I would add this: a)I could not find any evidence of internal 444 on F3 sxs upgrade anywhere else on the internet. b) take a look at some of Max Field's other posts and I think you get an idea he might be shooting from the hip a little loose. See his F35 post. I find the virus of mis-information to be incredibly annoying. Maybe I am wrong and there is a magical F3 sxs upgrade however saying there is and then disappearing is incredibly irresponsible and the same as flat out lying about it.
  4. https://www.ducloslenses.com/collections/mounts/products/multi-mount-flange?variant=363134685 Looks Like Duclos has the part I was referring to. I found good deal on Angenieux 25-250 HP. Putting PL Mount on the Genesis basically comes down to putting Sony F35 front plate on the Genesis. The PV Lens mount is built into the Genesis and they are both part of the same. I will say I can't think of a more solid lens connection than the Genesis PV mount.
  5. Thanks, for link. I am not sure about Eclair, he might be specific to Arriflex. Also doing some incredible 2 perf conversions to Arri 2C.
  6. Anyone interested in converting SR/SR2 in 2023, KameraDoctor on instagram will lead you to Danil, he is currently out of the UK. I don't want to speak to prices because we all know markets change but it was extremely reasonable for what I had done and really changed the notion that super 16mm conversions are too pricey for old SR's. Super 16mm converted, PL Mount, Arriglow viewfinder, the videotap is SR3 design now with a high quality HD camera. On top of all that he completely refurbished all the internal parts and repainted the body.
  7. Angenieux and Cooke shared this ring. I've seen Arri B, PL and PV mount.
  8. Who wants to dredge up an old conversation... I have a few solutions to the lens problem, I haven't decided which way is best. easiest solution just takes $$, this guy said he can make Angenieux 25-250 rehouse with a PV mount and PL mount. Assume Angenieux 25-250 can be found around $2000. https://www.ebay.com/itm/275956566320?hash=item40404b0930:g:XXYAAOSwvv1kkRuF&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwOcKG3M%2BlRdZqUYawIFYNzLnYdNHEVqHo%2FQqNVQH91WuAwIxThBnYvoqS3U5xWJ3lbeLnTDnjsuFzzuTqeGfIb1xFmfc4xy8wsekRSUfdjaNKRc7fELC%2B29sogau9MGsk7vBOVlSLuheH2R61tSprQkfnickRfS%2FQ6vAnyAADp3BiMgt9lxHcpzfQwQiHh2DCUPYxQwVsSL5Gukl2AABveGy%2FDwQJBKLshn9LaUAQIrcLewezRncjanSyPQAqYkuMw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6S1w-C8Yg Going on this idea of finding a lens that works with PV Mount: the big zooms by Cooke (20-100, 25-250) and Angenieux HR 25-250 (Which is a much sharper lens than the ones being rehoused above) all have an intermediate lens mount referred to as Universal Mount. Not plentiful universal to PV mount is out there. So even without getting the specific rehoused 25-250, I could find a more modern Angenieux or Cooke with that universal adapter and this solves the problem. All these zooms are big and heavy also, there is no primes I have seen with this intermediate mount like the long zooms. If you look at more modern lenses, zooms especially, the PL mount is a lot closer to the IRIS ring, PV conversion requires the PL wings to be far away from the back of the lens, see Angenieux above. I guess looking at all the advancements in PL mount lenses over the last 10 years it is hard not to think this is the most exciting and interesting route to take. There are a lot of lens options in PL: anamorphic, Fast primes, zooms that would be fun to be able to play with the widest range possible. The Panavision Genesis never had PL option, I can be fairly certain of that, the whole design of the Genesis bulbs out in the front so only PV mount would ever fit on their design. What Panavision did was buy a fleet of F35's which are the Arri standard - PL Mount and Baseplates and these were able to swap between PL and PV easily with a small adapter. Combining the F35 front plate which is flat and designed to align the CCD with PL mount, and the Genesis front plate, which sticks out further, is what I see as the only option to get PL mount onto the Genesis. The issue with this idea is the PL mount is even more recessed into the camera so this could present issues. See attached photo, I am going to sand and repaint before I put it back together is why they are currently empty.
  9. Thanks a lot! I sent message. I will post update if i get info. I bought a set years ago for my ACL 1.5 and they were by far the nicest solution for the ACL out there. I sold that camera to get LTR long time ago and now I found another ACL at a great deal. Don't get me wrong the Aaton LTR is wonderful 16mm camera, it is quieter than ACL, has a lot more expansion options, batteries attach nicely and I would prefer it if I were shooting 400ft magazine, the mags are quieter and less leaky than the ACL 400's. However the ACL with 200ft magazine is just perfect with the original ergonomic handle.
  10. does anyone know what happened to this guy? I had a set for my ACL 1.5 a long time ago, by far the best solution for the ACL needing rods.
  11. Think about all the glass and mirrors the image is passing through to get to your eye. You can disassemble the viewfinder and make sure all the glass surfaces inside are clean with a q-tip. Inside the camera your mirror can get dirty or scratched, clean this from the front. The ground glass is usually the brownest of the layers, not much you can do about this yourself. Bernie offers Laser Brightening which is said to work wonders for this issue.
  12. I know this should probably be in the marketplace but I am looking for a specific Eclair item. I have a very nice ACL II i bought on eBay last year, I have been patiently waiting for a motor to pop up for sale with no luck. If anyone has an extra motor they would like to sell, I would be very interested. I also have a bunch of 400ft kodak loads, 400ft Eclair magazines and an Elmo 16mm transfer projector I could offer in trade.
  13. my best guess would be the power source, even if it is working with other devices. Find another way to power the camera and test that.
  14. Thanks for doing this work with these lenses to everyone who owns them, I don't know how else we would find this information out. Although the lenses fall short, especially the zooms, what we have is a sensor which could be cropped to HD or maybe even 2K from 2.5K and essentially it is a HD S16mm camera.
  15. For purchase right now, I think Ikonoskop is it, http://www.ikonoskop.com. This is a terrific camera to go with 16mm glass, shoot raw, the problem is price $$, just a bit to high, although might be worth it if you have invested in 16mm cinema glass. I haven't stayed up to date, but there is also the Digital Bolex.
