  1.  

    I wrote a guide to servicing pocket Bolexes, which has photos that might assist you:

    Thank you for the answer.

     

    I specifically follow your step by step guide to disassemble and reassemble the Bolex. Everything seems to be consistent.

    The mechanism locks as it should. But spring seems relaxed. It only works for a second:

     

  2. I have completely disassembled a Bolex B8 to clean and lubricate it.


    After complete reassembly the camera, I have a problem with the spring: I can not wind the spring that only a quarter turn before it is blocking, and of course, the mechanism works only on of this quarter turn spring wound (about one second, which is very little).

    I have certainly done something stupid, but I do not know what. Could it be the relative position of the gear spring should be respected?


    But which one? Anything else?
  3. The camera is a Pathé National II 9,5 mm with the standard lens (a Cinor f=1.9 / 20 mm).

     

    There were three lenses designed for this camera plus a Hyper-Cinor screwed at the front and dividing the focal length of the lens by two (I bought this on eBay).

     

    The distance between the film plane and the lens mount is 28 mm.

     

    The distance between the rear lens and the film is about 17-18 mm

     

    As the size of the 9,5 mm film is between 8 mm and 16 mm, I guess the flange focal distance, too.

  4. What can be the flange focal distance of a 20 mm Cinor lens of a 9.5 mm camera (Pathé National II) ?

     

    The thread diameter of the mount is the same as the D-mount (15.88 mm), but the flange focal distance seems to be the same as the C-mount (17,526 mm).

     

    Can I use a C-mount lens (with a D-mount > C-mount adapter ring) on a 9.5 mm camera ?

     

    Mechanically, yes, but optically ?

  5. It is also possible — but not easy at all — to use a macro-zoom Schneider-Kreuznach designed for Beaulieu Super 8 cameras. The distance setting is done with the macro lever and must be modified for each zooming. It is very restrictive.

  6. Does anyone know if I'm going to have flicker at those frame rates under 50Hz lighting?

    There can be no flicker with a light source generated by an incandescent filament. There may be a flicker with a light source without inertia (eg fluorescent tubes).

  7. Schneider-Kreuznach Optivaron 1,8 / 6-66 mm (macro).

     

    Schneider-Kreuznach Optivaron 1,4 / 6-70 mm (macro).

     

    Schneider-Kreuznach 1,4 / 8-50 mm (macro).

     

    Angénieux Zoom 1,9 / 8-64 mm (macro).

     

    Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 1,8 / 8-40 mm.

     

    All C-Mount lens or lens with a C-mount adapter.
