I'm looking for a Zoom lens that covers S16mm Eclair NPR. Preferably something like Canon/Fujinon TV Zoom lens 15-100mm. I am also looking for Eclair NPR motor to buy. My email is: gonzlab@gmail.com

Hi I am planing to sell my Eclair NPR. I was just wondering what you guys thought of the idea of converting it to S16mm before I sell it, for profit. It costs £750 to convert it. I think the price for a standar one is about $3000. cheers

Hi guys I have never done any tests before on a 16mm camera and I was wondering if there are any standard procedure when it comes to testing the camera? It's a 16mm Eclair NPR. Another thing. I've checked the manual on how to adjust the shutter angle and I don't get it. How do I adjust it and how do I know if it's 180 or not?. There is one more thing. My motor is an AC one. Is there a way to get a DC adapter and use a battery or do I need to simply buy a new motor if I want to shoot EXT ?. Sorry, I just have so many questions. I'm a Film Student at the London Film School and the teachers there are not much help to be honest. I've been there for one year now and I've gotten most of my questions answered on sites like this one. How ironic:) Since I all ready have so many questions I might as well shoot one more. I just bought an Canon FD adaptor and a Canon FD 50mm lens. I spoke to this guy the other day and he told me that using SLR 35mm lenses on 16mm cameras actually doubles in a sense that it's actually like using a standard 100mm instead of it being 50mm. Is that true? Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it. Cheers!

What if you have an AC Motor, 4 pin Canon chord? Can you just use any battery you would use for other Eclair NPR motors? or do I need something specificly for this one?

Hi! I have an old Miller fluid head tripod and I can't mount my Eclair NPR on it because the screw on the tripod is too small. I tried to use a converter but it just broke. I guess I need to change the screw but I don't know how. It seems that I will have to screw the head apart to change the screw but then again the screw is not just a normal screw. Any suggestions what I should do?. Another question. Does the standard Eclair mattebox cover S16mm?

I got a new motor now :) Is this tripod good enough for Eclair NPR?: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Thanks for your help. I didn't buy it. Got it for free.

Thanks guys :)

Are you the ebay seller ? :)

OK The voltage in UK is 240, does that affect the speed of the camera or not?

:) Yebb OK, Thanks man. Sorry, but what is AC?

Hi I have here with me a Perfectone motor 25fps with power pack 220V , power cable and aluminum case for Eclair NPR. I got it from Sweden and I'm located in London. My question is, Which voltage should I use (switchable) 110-220V?. Another thing, the plug is a Swedish one is it enough just to use an adaptor? PS Is this motor crystal sync or governd control ?

Hi my 16mm Eclair NPR was just tested and the picture pulses/breaths you know, not completely steady. Any idea what I can do about that?. What if I let the camera run for a while?, it hasn't been used for about 2 years. Maybe that will help?. The motor I have is newly serviced Perfectone, Governed control so it can't be the motor's fault, unless they did a bad service. PS My lens is Angenieux zoom lens, 12_120mm. ???? Any recommendation how to over all maintain the Eclair NPR? Thanks Guys:)
