I have wondered the same. The was many advertising from Kodak about this new fancy camera. But it seems that there was not enough pre orders to start manufacturing. Pity, I kind of liked the idea of lcd viewfinder and the C-mount.

Antonio

You're right Will. I have mine (w Turret) and there is no "port" for the cable. You do in fact push the lever up for single frame exposure.

Hi Will and Tom,

Thank you for your answers,

Antonio

Hi,

I am looking for cine-kodak K 100 camera at e-bay. I noticed that the camera has a single frame option, and my question is: is it possible to use a shutter release cable with this camera? I downloaded the manual, but I couldn´t find anything about the shutter release cable.

Thank you,

Antonio

what filmstock did you use???

I used ektachrome 64t and the camera what I used is Canon 814XL-S. I have never before met this kind jittering problem with any other filmstock. Forexample the good old K 40 worked just fine, and tri-x also. So, could the filmstock cause jittering/jumping?

Thanks,

Antonio

Hi,

I resently shot landscape scene, and when I watched it with the projector, the imagae was slightly moving up and down. The movement was little but disturbing. When I shot the scene I was using a good tripod, so where´s the problem? Is there enything ( exept reshoot the scene) to solve the problem?

Thanks,

Antonio

Hi,

Thank you everyone for your answers! I have been thinking that the Bolex would suit for my projects better, so now I am starting to look one.

Thank you once again!

Antonio

Hi!

I have made some experimental films and animation with my Scoopic M. Now I have project, where I might need different lenses and perhaps 400 ft mag. I have considered two options, Arri 16S, arri 16M or Bolex EL. The question is: Is it easy to get time lapse/animation motors for arri cameras?I assume that Bolex EL has single frame function. Is there any other options wich I should take under consideration?

With Thanks

Antonio

You won't get better than Tim Carroll"s http://www.arri16s.com/

Great website! Thank you Tim!

Hi, does anybody know the exact size of Leicina RT fiter thread. It seems to be 55mm, but I am not sure. 55mm lenscap fits quite well. I am lookin a 85 b filter for my Leicina, any tips?

Thanks,

Antonio

Hi guys, Thank you for your answers!

Antonio

Hi! Does anybody know, where I can order suitable batteries ( 12 v ) for my Scoopic 16 M ? I looked from ebay, but couldnt find any.

Antonio

Antti: Do you heard the sound of the servo EE motor when you push (in "auto") the button? (move the camera with differents changes of light) If you heard it then it's a mechanical problem, between the friction spring of the servo and the gear of the T scale (anyway no easy to fix). If you don't heard anything of course it's an electrical problem. I don't think with the servo motor... You'll need to check (with anyone with electrical knowledge) the EE amplifier circuit: it's the first that you'll see when open the top cds cover (side of the battery). Write me privately if you have this option. I can send you the electrical diagram of this circuit.

All the best,

Lluís

(Scoopic M it's a really reliable camera!)

Hi Lluís, and thanks again!

Yes there is this small sound, when the camera is in "auto" , but I also hear similar sound when I push the aperture opening button. It Is a small cliking sound, like the motor wich doesnt start. If it is a mechanical problem, is it worth of fixing? I mean that I can alvwys use the external lightmeter, right? Camera seems working fine, exept this lightmeter problem. I have one test roll inside it, and Ishoot it and wait the results.

Like you said, it´s reilable camera. I hope.

All the best,

Antti

Hi Antti. Here some notes for help:

1. Was the lightmeter OK before you? or when/how it failed (the best hint to discover the fault)

2. (obvius) Camera needs to be in "auto" if you want to see needle changes...

3. Can you move manually and freely the T stops? (it discards a mechanical problem)

4. The easyest solution would be if the internal switch (which power the lighmeter) fails (bad contact)

5. The worst if the lighmeter motor is broken (needs spare...) or fails the electrical circuit (posibility to be repair).

I convert this camera to super 16 and have all the schemas... Write me if I can help you.

All the best,

Lluís

Hi Lluis, and thank yuo.

1. the lightmeter was like it, when I got the camera.

2.Yes, the camera was in "auto" when I tried it.

3.The T stops move freely manually.

Is the problem in the internal switch? It keeps this small cliking sound, when I push the shutter button, could this be sign of worst scenario, the broken lightmeter motor?

All the best, and thank you for your answers

Antti Tanttu

Hi! I have scoopic M, and unfortunately it seems that its lightmeter is broken. When I push the shutter release button, the needle in the T/stop scale doesnt move at all. So, is it worth of fixing, and is it possible to do myself, or shuold I just use outer light meter?

Antti Tanttu

Thank you very much Ian! Your answer got all the essential information, wich I was looking for.

Antonio

I have scoopic M, and I am very pleased about how it works. But the lens has its limitations. So, is it possible to get wideangle adapter for the Scoopic.

Thanks

Antonio

Hi, while ago I shot animation with my K-3, but the results was poor. The film was over exposured( the lower part of the frame). I figured out that the shutter has been half open. So, now i have this scoopic 16 M, and I am trying to do my animation again. I would be gratefull of any information, advices, tips etc.
