I have both Vario Switar and Berthiot 17-85, not the fastest but very compact!

Heck at least a monopod! Easy to carry one of those hiking. Unfortunately for most, shaking hand held footage = Super 8

Set your meter to 1/80 to compensate

I'm a minimum 2k scan kinda guy... Also happy with Cinelab and/or Gamma Ray...

Hey Dom! What's the improvement to the MCR8 from the MR8? I have what seems to be a late MR8 judging by the dark grey paint just like on the MCR8. I think this is the best 8mm camera, almost 16mm like in features, but yes a little fragile compared to Bolex.

Every P1/P3 has SOM Berthiot Pan Cinor 8-40mm f/1.9 zoom lens, and the P2, SOM Berthiot Pan Cinor 9-30mm f/1.9 zoom lens. The P2 was known to be the cheaper version when sold new.

Changing tent for LOMO tank?
Todd Pinder replied to Derick Crucius's topic in Film Stocks & Processing
I bought a huge old Birns and Sawyer changing bag for $25, I put a cardboard box inside to keep the bag held up with the side facing me cutout. -
Out of the P series, I don't recommend the 2, 1 & 3 have the better lens
-
From f3.5 and up should fix any focus issues
-
Bolex K2 is great, just hard to find a good working example!
-
Anything above f2.8 to be safe

Looks like a C mount, so yes
-
Wittner used to sell all kinds of SLR mounts to C mount, pretty sure made by Beaulieu, they come in orange boxes usually. I have Leica R and M, as well as M42.
-
Surely the MC17 motor will fit no?
-
Just need an M to C mount which I have.
-
Thanks for the response Arnaud! I'm in the States so shipping plus conversation rate would make it even more expensive! Did you ever ask them for an estimate?
-
Just curious since this thread has been brought up, any technicians service these cameras? I have one but its pretty loud from lack of use and probably never been serviced. Also have a 10mm Cinegon that the aperture blades are off.

Using a short focal length lens on a non reflex Bolex H16
Todd Pinder replied to Patrick Cooper's topic in Bolex
Bolex makes an attachment for the octameter, like this... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Paillard-Bolex-Octameter-Viewfinder-With-10mm-Lens-For-H16-16mm-Movie-Camera/352988804490?hash=item522fc5b58a:g:bQQAAOSwtYRdog6R Or early ones take a slip on... https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-10mm-Field-Adapter-PAILLARD-BOLEX-For-H16-Octameter-Viewfinder-in-Box-AH-332/223760881495?hash=item3419301757:g:g6AAAOSwHU9d1vAn -
Well I got lucky and picked up a Super 16 Factory converted Bolex Rex 4 with 10mm preset lens for $800 a few years ago when 16mm equipment tanked. I think today that $1500 being the minimum, but probably more. So probably a K3 is your only option, unless you find a crazy deal on another system!

I have used Jean-Louis with great results, could also try Dr. Bolex (forgot his real name) or Bernie at Super 16 Inc.
