Hello - I recently purchased a 16mm Pathe Professional Reflex, and have been searching, with no luck, for an instruction manual. The seller claimed it came with instructions, but none were in the box and and my emails have gone unanswered. If anyone could guide me to a manual, that would be great. The camera is in very nice condition and the reflex finder seems brighter and "bigger" than that of my old Bolex H16. I think I can pretty much figure out the Pathe, but I'd at least like to know what the shutter speeds are at the various fps rates/variable shutter settings (it has a lever that's marked "Closed - 1/2 - Open" so I assume this is a variable shutter?). Does anyone have this information? Any help would be very much appreciated. I'm not that experienced with motion picture shooting, so please forgive me if anything I've said here makes no sense!
Thanks in advance,
Tony
