Earlier posters are correct in saying the Cooke 9-50mm T2.5 zoom is a Standard 16mm lens. Cooke released a Super-16 version: 10.4-52mm T2.8, but it is a relatively rare lens. UK firms: Optex & Abakus offered S16 conversions for the lens. I will soon have available the Cooke/Abakus unit: 10.8-60mm T2.6 in , I believe Aaton mount. Please email me if interested. Thanks ! -Charles Pickel <cp@seriousgear.com>

Now listed on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/303589846902?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 I will give a better deal to Cinematography.com users than eBay bidders, because: no eBay fees...

I can set folks up with a limited number of Aaton on-board batteries (either 12v or 16vdc) with appropriate charger & aux power cable (4-pin XLR) at reasonable prices. But not free.

You are most welcome ! Full disclosure: David bought this nice late-production XTR Prod from me. It is a rare beauty. I hope you can pinpoint the source of this issue. Let's be in touch ! -Best, -Charles

My only thought is: Yes, this is the claw side of the film channel where the time code LED's are. If the ASA (ISO) on the light meter is not set for the correct ISO of your film, the LED's may be producing an overly bright image, which could perhaps conduct through the film base (halation). Color of late-production Aaton LED matrix is yellow. It is worth checking out, hope this helps. -Charles Pickel, www.seriousgear.com
