Hello,
Greeting from Sydney Australia. I am about to purchase a nice Eclair ACL series II and everything is checking out except for one thing . The darken area within the circle marking. This camera has the LED 7 metering system and wanted to check with other owners if this is completely normal ?? It makes focusing really hard since it covers such a large area.
I have removed the kipontik viewfinder and looked through and can still see it . Is the darken area part of the metering system ?? Can it be removed or is it some how part of the ground glass ?? I need some sort clarification before I purchase . Any help or advice would be so appreciated .
Kind regards
John Paul Urizar

Let me know if interested.

Hello,
I have been contacted about my Bolex Anamorphot lens via email, so I have attached a few images.

Hello,
Has anybody had their Bolex cameras upgraded with the Laserbrighten Screen which Bernie O'Doherty at Super16inc offers?
http://super16inc.com/page3.html.
It seems really tempting for my Bolex RX5 with 13x viewfinder. Compared to shooting on my Beaulieu R-16 the Bolex is really hard to see in low light.
Any comments or thought would be great.

Hi
I am currently using the Bolex kit as shown above. I find it very straight forward to use on my RX5 with 13x viewfinder. I have the anamorphic matched to the 26mm f1.1 marco switar. I decided going down this path to avoid some of the problems associated with super 16 conversion. Keep look at ebay, they do pop up.
