Does it look yellowish when you look through the viewfinder? My CP16R version has a slight yellow tint.

I have a power supply for my CP16R and here's a photo of the bottom. It says the OUTPUT is 20V .5A

I forgot to add. There is one issue. For my eyesight I can't get it to focus correctly using the diopter range -5, 0, +5, but if I put my contact lenses then it's fine. I also had a friend look into it and he has perfect 20/20 vision, he was able to focus it but had to be +5. I'm ok with this since I wear contacts, also it might be my viewfinder that needs an adjustment..

It works great, brighter and slightly bigger image. Also keeps the image up right in any orientation. But now I'm not sure I want to look through it 🙂

I just bought an Angenieux viewfinder for my CP16R and it's yellowish when looking through it. Reading this thread I'm not liking the situation.. If it is radioactive, is there a way to de-radioactive it?

Here's a hand processed reg test I did with my CP16 with old expired plus-X film. pass: cp16

Ask for an overscan so you can see the film perforations, if the perfs move with the grid then it's the telecine / scanner and if they are super steady then it's your camera.

I asked Ken Hale from Whitehouse and he said: "That is an infrared mirror, it only lets the black and white light through." So it maybe best to use a monochrome camera?

Thanks for sharing all your progress Aapo, nice to read this thread. I'm also interested in making a tap for it. Last night i was finally able to pop-open the video assist cover and peek into it. Why is the image coming off the prism orange? Image is correct in viewfinder but wondering why it's orange when looking down in the tap hole. I see that it is orange in your pictures as well.

For anyone looking for a replacement eyecup, I purchased the one from the link above and it works fine. I also found another one that works great as well. So any eyecup with an opening between 28mm and 32mm will work on the CP viewfinder.

I will be getting my CP16R this Friday and it doesn't have a rubber eyecup. Found this link on Ebay - do you guys think it would fit on the CP? https://www.ebay.com/itm/271102771266?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160727114228%26meid%3D1801e48399134bfbacf2b2179c850a25%26pid%3D100290%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D271102771266%26itm%3D271102771266%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2060778%26brand%3DCanon&_trksid=p2060778.c100290.m3507

You don't need a dark room - Buy a film changing bag. In L.A go to Freestyle photo or filmtools. You can even get them on Amazon.

It looks really great! Great job!

Reviving this older thread. I'm learning optical printing and I have questions about fading in a title with drop shadow over live action. I gave myself a learning assignment and I'm hitting a wall. My test starts with a clock wipe transition revealing the live action, then a title fades-in (with a drop shadow) and the live action turns into a double printed slo-mo, and at the end everything fades out. I have created: - Hand animated clock dissolve (18frames) on 5363 high con - Hold out matte of title plus its shadow on 5363 high con - Female matte of title only (black frame with clear letters) on 5363 high con - IP of my live action from the original negative (I did the switch to double printed slo mo on that element) The issue is I added an 8 frames fade-in using the variable shutter on the camera for both the title hold out and female mattes. Now I'm realizing that when I start printing my final comp, and photograph the Hold out matte bi-packed with the interpositive and then go for the second pass - by rewinding and exposing the female matte (to expose only the white area inside the font)...because I added a fade-in on the female matte, it will expose and flash the IP when the title fades in since the base will go from clear to black.. stupid me. I know I will have to reshoot my title mattes. My question is how do you do a fade-in or out on titles with shadow? My guess is that I could do the fade-in (using the camera variable shutter) on the hold out matte since this will result in a clear base with black letters, and only the black letters would fade in - that will be ok. Then when I shoot my female matte, I would shoot the matte element straight through with no fades so I have opaque black from start to finish. And when I rewind and shoot the second pass with the female matte only, I could use the camera variable shutter to fade that element in. I think this could work but I have a feeling I'm overcomplicating it. If you know the proper way to do this, or can suggest a book or two about the subject I would really appreciate your help.
