I love shooting 16, I work in the industry and I like to shoot in my free time with my own equipment.
I started with a bolex H5, then I switched to a Canon Scoopic, now I am switching to what I consider the next.
I have a good deal, same price, both running great.
Shoot super 16 it sounds very sexy to me, also PL mount to play with different (rental) lenses. Also, the NPR is very clean and good looking, Tobin sync sound with milliframe. I have a couple of c-mount lenses and Nikon lenses, so when I don't want to rent, I can use my own (crappy) optics. The NPR includes an ange zoom c-mount (nothing interesting there)
On the other hand, the SRI is not super 16, but, I know is a more reliable machine (is that true??) also I know it has more accesories (Which I can match in the NPR I found) and can be converted to super 16 with a great amount of money, but also with a better resell value for my next stage (that would be a 35mm in a couple of years). It includes one zoom, also an ange 12-120, 2 mags, plain pakage.
I love the idea of learn about the shutter change, and also the ability to use a lot more lenses... What would you decide for the same price???
Let me know Gurus of the 16!!!!
Thanks a lot!
