http://I Ollie, I have a very nice Media Logic 5 digital speed control with 11-pin Fischer cable for Arriflex. These are neat little devices, more compact than the CE Precision Speed control and no camera modification necessary. Switchable decimal point for .001 fps increments. Will control your 16SR up to 72fps.. These have gotten tough to find. Yours for a mere USD$ 325.00 + shipping. email: cp@seriousgear.com

I have some options for you vis-a-vis XTR kits & SR SlowMotion conversion. Will get in touch via DM

For Sale: DoP's personal set of classic Zeiss T2.1 Standard primes. Very complete 9-lens set in excellent condition: 16, 24, 32, 40, 50, 85, 100, 135mm T2.1/PL + rare 180mm T3. Asking US$ 44K.

Hi Steve, my own opinion is to avoid those cheap $25-50.00 aluminum adapters. I have yet to find an accurate one. Fotodiox makes a respectable adapter, but they vary in accuracy by up to +/- .03mm. This means you must shim the lens to the adapter in the case of high speed lenses. I quality control them using gage blocks & a precision height gage on a granite surface plate. I send back the ones that are more than .01mm out. Right now, I have a dead-on Les Bosher stainless B to PL quick-release adapter ($ 285.00 + shipping) and a QC'd Fotodiox unit that is also dead-nuts zero ($ 195.00). PL rear caps: $ 18.00. Let me know if these interest you. Thanks !

Yes, I am in Seattle, I would be happy to take a look. Will PM you. Thanks !

On early cameras, the mirror shaft gear is retained by a 1.5mm pin. On later caemras it is held by a screw. Only full disassembly will reveal the problem. Mirror could be unstable on other end of shaft which is more difficult to address.

PM ing you,thanks !
