Appears this has the part needed to repair my camera. If you agree, Please let me know what form of payment. Thanks.

Marek, Please keep me updated, this would be fabulous as i would like to get this camera in working order. Thank you again in assisting with this matter.

Excellent! Thank you very much, Marek. I hope to finally get this working. Any assistance appreciated, as you have helped much already.

finally got around to opening camera and found out the shutter gear is broken and I dont have parts for it. I will send pictures if interested.

Hi Marek, thank you for checking in. Due to lack of tools, patients and time, I had to send to camera repair person I use for my Bolex. I hope to know something positive soon.

Excellent! Thank you very much, Marek

I have a Eclair Cameflex, motor runs almost perfect, but the shutter does not move. I can turn w shutter knob and slightly with inching knob. But when camera runs, shutter just sits. Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Or if you may have specific service folk in the states that may resolve issue. Thanks for any assistance.

Thank You , Marek. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for any assistance or direction. It does not work in any timelapse method, from what ive attempt. the "frame by frame" motion work in half frame to more than a frame for each burst/trigger.

Not sure, but image seems blacked out. I’ll try again.

Marek, Thanks for your response. I replaced the toggle switch and appears, so far, to be working at 24fps. I am attempting to adapt to the CAMEBECK single frame / timelapse box. It will run oddly, but not full frame single frame. Are you possibly knowledgable with animation motors , such as this CAMEBECK for the CAMEFLEX? Im unable to find information on internet or otherwise. I would greatly appreciate any guidance with this matter. Thanks

The motor is not running. I’m replacing toggle switch this weekend. If still not functioning, I hope to find source that may repair to proper working order.

Can anyone recommend source for repairing a Perfectone motor. This motor is for the Cameflex and also the Cameflex animation/Timelapse controller. Appreciate any assistance. Thanks!

Thanks all for your assistance. This weekend I’m running dummy film through to alienate the issue. I more than appreciate your comments and experience to assist and resolve this concerning Matter in order to get this fab camera back in motion Hoping to shoot a project in next couple months, but this sprocket tearing derailed my plans. thanks for all your help. -robbie. .

Recently noticed last two rolls 400’ mags yesterday and today taking mag off there is a collection of film chips bottom of gate area. This is a first for me with this camera. Two different magazines “loaded properly “ . Anyone with guess or idea what’s happening here. Thanks for any help. -robbie

Can anyone recommend an oil for lubricating the Cameflex CM3? I know the manual suggest Esso oil 8119, which I'm unable to find. Will something like Liberty clock oil work? Thanks for any knowledge on this matter.

Hello, i am in the process of having two 16mm answer prints transferred to digital form. From my understanding, my best bet with achieving quality digital form for various exhibition purposes such as venue projection to large monitor is having a 2k raw transfer. This is a properly timed color print, so, im asking if this is my best bet and or should consider anything more. Also, do i have them saved as ProRes4444 or other form. Sorry, i usually screen with the answer or release print and so im new to this side of the exhibiting film work. Ive spoke with ColorLab and Video & Film Solutions today with quotes for 700' around $350 for the above configurations. Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide

good Lord, what a gift, to say the least. the 1014xl-s provides fabulous image when shooting auto exposure or even better when using light meter. youll have no problem and good results with the tri-x stock. although, care outdoors in harsh sunlight with tri-x. watch exposure either hand held or incamera. if you have any questions regarding the camera settings, dont hesitate to email.

can anyone with experience using both stocks (Vision3 500T and 200T) in various situations provide which produces higher contrast and color saturation with richer blacks. i've used the 500T 7219 quite a bit with nice results, but now i/m in process of budgeting an order purchase for a project and missing the results that the EXR stocks provided. therefore, any thoughts on if the newer 200T may be higher in contrast and color saturation? thanks, robbie land

i've had no problem processing color film with the G3. success with color neg, reversal and b/w 8mm and 16mm. no links off top of head..perhaps google helen hill's Recipes for disaster or http://www.ralphdickinson.com/process_site/contents.html. Glad to hear the 100D availabilty via Kodak!

you can do it. although, if you;ve never experienced cutting film, much less neg. well..practice first. you'll need fresh cement, cement splicer, yeah, clean room/space and i suppose youll have the rest materials in editing room. it will be frustrating as it is for me always when i try to save a buck doing myself. but you can do it. but start with your workprint. then, if that provides confidence, move on to neg. i'm supporting this idea because it is quite possible to achieve proper professional results and the DIY method is always a good start. in a month i will make the decision to conform a current project. i'm hoping i will be cool and relaxed to do it myself as ive done several times before.

after discussing the matter with FujiFilm we have determined the results of my test were due to poor printing. a Fuji Vivid neg. looks different than a kodak neg. and at the time of the test the vivid 160 was new to the timer at lab and therefore misprinted. therefore, i will continue to work with this stock to achieve the stated saturation and desirable dense deep blacks.

well, i suppose it's another telecine stock. i have 400' remaining in fridge, which is useless to me as telecine. like i stated, i was quite displeased with the print results. yeah, milk and weak.
