If you want to keep it low budget check out the bolex Cine Assist Animo One aniMo one motor (kinda weird name) that i think it doesn't break the bank.
I am not affiliated in any way, I am just also considering to buy it. Not a sync motor but along the many nice features it has, if you contact filmcurl you ll get details of a surprisingly steady motor for the price.

Hello Don,
for the RX primes set according to this document page 12
"Two automatic depth-of-field scales meet either normal or critical requirements. "
so green area is critical, yellow normal and red out of acceptable focus.
The above document, as stated in pacificrimcamera.com, is undated but probably from the late 60s (1968).
The 1955 document does not mention any DoF indicator, and also there is one image with silver schneider lenses only.
The 1963 document is more specific in page Sixteen
"Two ranges of depth are provided : Red field for normal use and a yellow field for most exacting demands (circle of confusion of 1/1OOOth. of the diagonal.)"
All these make me think that lenses with only red indicator are late 50s-early 60s versions, that got not long after updated with T marks and normal-critical requirement DoF indicators.

Back with another observation i totally missed.
As shown in the image of the first post, the lenses that have only red indication do not have the green T True Stop markings etched on the barrel like the one in this post.
After realizing this, a quick google search confirms that lenses with T values etched on the barrel have the red yellow green Dof indication, while the ones without Ts only red.
In conclusion, it seems there is nothing wrong with the lenses, but there are at least two versions of Schneider RX lenses with T values and tri-color Dof indication as main differences.

On a side note and off topic, i joined this forum back in 2007 and was enjoying it more regularly until 2011. Then i had occasional visits, until this recent post of mine, since when i refreshed reading through posts some things film related, caught up with nice topics that i had missed etc.
A lot has changed since 2011, but as i am member of relevant facebook groups too, i wonder if facebook has "killed" the forums. In facebook posts receive lots of answers and reactions, similar to how i remember this forum.
Problem is forums compared to facebook are designed to cultivate discussion, store information and knowledge in an organized fashion with subforums, while facebook imo promotes immediacy of interaction regardless the topic at hand, but the information is not in anyway classified [besides the group, albeit too general, name, for example Super 8mm] and/or retrieved easily.

For future reference and for others having the same issue. To my understanding, without dismantling the lens, it seems that when i open/close the diaphragm of the lens with all colors, colored lamelas slide up and down along the lens length to color the Dof indication opening according to the DoF. The lenses with only red color have the same mechanism principle but in place of green and yellow only silver parts slide. This makes me think that either somehow the green and yellow colors faded, or the silver parts should "catch" hidden colored ones and make them slide into place, but they are not.
Anyway these are scheduled for service, but wanted to know beforehand what is wrong, if they can be fixed. I will update this topic once i know more.

I think according to this pdf the silver one is a Vidicon Type A lens (see page 17 top left image).

Hello,
i was using my bolex REX 4 mainly with the 18-86 OE zoom. Now i want to use my schneider primes and i noticed that not all of my lenses have the auto depth of field with 3 colors red-yellow-green.
As you can see in the photo only red, no green and/or yellow. I looked online for images of the RX lens set and each has this feature, so unless there was a version sold with only red markings, something's wrong with these lenses.
Any ideas?

Hello
i use two large paper developing trays filled with water and two aquarium heaters heating each at the 38C temperature.
one tray heats the chemicals the other the lomo tank. thats the best method i have found so far to keep good temperature during the process.
i also consider emptying the tank is included in developing time but i am not sure if this is right.

The second frame grab is really nice!!

i agree with Anthony Schilling. Some sort of small budget scanner would be great to keep the format alive. even the "cheap" available scanners are in the price range of small businesses, that can make money from it, first paying off the money spend for the scanner and then profit.
Also i agree with many posts in this topic. A great addition would be a new toy like camera, lomo approach, a new camera (maybe a copy of nizo )that can be sold to a midrange consumer and a pro model as described for the pros and hardcores.
ok i want it all. i confess.

its interesting. its like quicktime vr for stills.
Did they use the 0-360 upside down? because missing picture is in the floor only. if you pan to the ceiling everything is there.
also 0-360 states its seamless.
i thought they used a custom rig with many cameras and then compiled using software. you can see some blur when rotating the view, where different shots get connected.

The ebay adds say the same thing about the c mount lenses like kern etc.
i dont get every video in youtube with gh1 and these lenses is like you say with big black fuzzy edges on all corners of the image.
So why are the users after these lenses?
Is the look they are after worth the zoom they have to do for the black edges to dissapear ?
I understand that c mount are compact but other than that..

Didnt know about the morse tank and it sounds like pain for many baths.
That processing mashine is amazing but Richard has a point.Still if i had it in my darkroom i would be very happy!
I remember a processing mashine that was in Olex Kalynychenko's old website about the lomo tanks.
here are the links, the website is not online anymore so its archived and unfortunatelly theres no picture of the mashine.it looked kind of compact,compared to the normal ones and to the one in youtube.it was for b/w only.maybe with some modification more baths could me added.i am still hunting for a 100ft lomo tank in ebay.no luck yet.

maybe olex could give some info about this mashine.

Hello!
I am using the lomo tank and when i am carefull with temp monitoring i get nice results(not pro of course).there are many ways to achive this.
I preheat the tank with water at the right temperature so that i can decelarate the drop of temperature of the chemicals etc.there are many articles on the web about it.
Why is the morse tank only for black and white?
I dont know what you mean automated but the lomo tank is quite like any 35mm photo film tank, except it accepts longer film, so the procedure is similar.
Keep up!its fun to experiment and try cross process for funky results.

I think it is great that you may be on a fixed income but still are a filmmaker and are active.
My point is is we shouldn't be advocating this mailer procedure as a "freebie". It is not a freebie. Several companies, services, their paid employees, their time, all must get involved to give the customer with an yellow mailer something for "free".
For those that can pay, paying and appreciating that the service exists is what matters more than pretending there is an imaginary free service that just magically exists.
I didn't say im on a fixed income.
About the mailers it was a question of clarification. By asking it isn't a try to trick, disrespect or get a free job done by the Dwaynes working people. I am pretty sure that if it was true, the yellow mailers process, the Dwaynes would trade the envelopes for money from Kodak, and as Freya Black says at some point we paid for it. Since the deadline is gone we have to pay.
Those than can or cant pay, pay by sacrificing or not other things to have fun or make art with film.
FREE is long time dead.
I really don't understand what this sensitivity regarding the respect for the working people etc, which i share and advocate, has to do with the thread.
End of 2010 we have to hurry. But since there lots of k40 around ebay i suspect theres gone be an update to the deadline.

Hello,
in this post i believe mr Wyss sums the options for c mount cine lenses. You will find more if you search the forum.
These options are not found for cheap unfortunately, and like you mention it is often that they are abused.
I would also look at sample images and videos of Tevidon lenses. The were made from Zeiss Jena for early CCTV cameras.
I have not used them myself with my bolex, but you can find online many still image samples shot with m43 cameras, but also lots of videos shot with black magic pocket camera OG. Imho the quality is really nice and their price ok.
One thing i am trying to verify is if these lenses can be mounted to bolex c mount, or they cant because of their large size (circumference), that could interfere with the central silver part of the bolex turret.
