Hi All Martin here in UK has modified many cameras to S16 even a 8mm Bolex http://www.stecica.co.uk/2.html Don

Hi Michael What gave you the idea that this was shot in Super 8 and what is a Konvas Kosmonaut ? Best wishes Don

Hi Richard Try this site its for the DS8 the 16mm made to shoot Double Super 8 apart from sprockets and gate I would say much the same http://www.super8.no/Manuals/Canon_Zoom%20...ide_English.pdf Don

Hi Just measured mine 72mm with my Tiffin lens hood that take Series 9 filters Don

Hi Justin The problem with camera's like the NPR is where to put the beam spitter as you can see from this setup from Spectrum http://members.aol.com/azspectrum/nprvideo.html Regards Don

Hi Petin I think you will find this is where you attach the bloop light that flashes the film when you use the MST motor Don

Hi Evan Try this one http://www.super8.no/Manuals/Canon_814%20X...nual_English.pd Don

Hi Ralph Check this site http://www.evergreen.edu/media/pdf/Bolex_Manual.pdf Don

Hi Terry I have been trying to get behind a lens on a Nalcom 800 (not the model with the removeable lens) its been sitting on my bench for weeks I can't see anywhere that removes lens Regards Don

Hi Matt Try this site of Canon, it list all their cine, this is yours. http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/cine/f_index.html Don

Hi John I must have every manual that CP did for CP16 the only operation manual I have is for the non-reflex, 27 pages the rest are the blue service manuals, but I do have a illustrated parts catalog in original CP box folder 1977 133 pages I could scan these if I have a good day spare. Regards Don

Hi I worked on a film called "Revolution" starring Al Pacino bummed at the Box office but was a great film to work on, I was Sound FX Recordist. The director Hugh Hudson wanted as it was a war film a doco look, the two camera operators had to handhold Arri 35BL's, even on crane & dolly shots they had camera's on their shoulders Regards Don

Hi Grant I told him to try Todd AO they are in Camden Town down the hill from Hampstead they do all gauges including Super 8 http://www.todd-ao.co.uk/super8mm.htm Regards Don

Hi Victor Forget the bit on Video assist have just seen your site, Very nice setup Regards Don

Hi Victor Thanks for reply what sort of flying time do you get at 48FPS and have you managed to get video assist as well or are you flying blind. Don

Hi Victor Very nice, what camera did you use ? I have seen modified 35 mm Eymo's used here in UK. Regards Don

This is what Bernie said in a earlier reply It will cover the full range of "normal" 16mm lenses. You're not recentering the lens axis by the 0ne mm required in S16. The gg will need to be remarked a little wider on both sides. Regards Don

Hi Evan These people will modify to crystal http://users.aol.com/fmgp/sync8.htm Regards Don

Hi Bernie Sounds interesting keep us all posted on future developments, hope your move is smooth. Regards Don

Hi Bernie Can you tell me what lenses will be needed for this Ultra 16 and will it cover camera's like Beaulieu R16 which they say can not be converted to S16 due to mirror shutter. Regards Don Ex Sammies 1972/82

HI Douglas Couple of more sites for manuals but not that one http://www.myoldcamera.com/Manuals.html http://www.mondofoto.com/manuals/ Regards Don

Hi Douglas Scroll down to C http://www.super8.no/manuals.html Regards Don

Hi Justin Have just emailed my mate in France who service's Bolex says it could be anything even broken spring I know when I put motor on mine I have to release tension by pushing run button Regards Don

Hi Kip The battery is a 20 AH which means you should if your camera draws 1 amp get 20 Hrs 2 amps 10 Hrs but in real life this is a bit less as you won't run it flat Two batteries are good as you should always have a backup get a small sealed lead gel battery Regards Don

Hi Kip Ni-Cads need a good 14-16 hour charge if that does not work then I would say they are past their best. Regards Don
