Once I got the word from Du-All I stopped looking for a tech or rental house that will do that kind of work on a 16s. I decided to use my camera as-is, turret, soft Schneiders and all.

I haven't found anyone, and I really haven't been looking. I'm going the slow stock/cropping route for when I need a 16x9 image.

I'm sorry to say that Du-All no longer does this conversion.I go the bad news when I sent them an inquiry in February about converting my own 16s. Have you considered using slower stocks and cropping the image? There are several threads on this forum detailing how to do this effectively.

It can be done effectively with the short rewind crank, but only in short bursts. I definitely wouldn't try anything longer than twenty seconds or so. Hope that helps. Aaron

Hi - Now that Super 16 is no longer accepting new work I'm in need of a place to send my spring wound 35mm cameras (Eyemos and DeVrys) for adjustments and repairs. Is anyone aware of any shops that will give bench time to older, fully mechanical cameras? Thanks, Aaron

True, but Super 16, Inc. is not accepting new work.

I should have been more specific. Is anyone aware of any shops in the States that are still doing CLAs on Nizo and later, higher end Canon Super 8 cameras? Thanks again, Aaron

Cool - I'm talking to him about getting one. Thanks!

My camera is an RX-5. I didn't type the full name - sorry about that. Aaron

I'm interested in one of these. Aaron

After fixing the non-telescoping viewfinder on my RX I now have the opposite problem: the screw on the adjustment ring will not tighten, so I can't lock the viewfinder into place and keep it from telescoping in and out. Nothing on the viewfinder appears cracked - any ideas on how to remedy this? Thanks, Aaron

Expired 5222. The film had been sitting for a long time. Thanks for all the hints on what to look for. I'll check all that stuff out - including the camera vibration - and hopefully I'll be be able to resolve the issue.

Hi, I took an antique DeVry camera for a spin and recently had the film processed and scanned. The camera operates smoothly, but produces a very unsteady image. DeVrys have a simple claw mechanism - any hints on what I might be able to do to improve the image? Here's the footage showing the issue: https://vimeo.com/497963524 I'm not expecting that a camera that's at least ninety years old will produce a perfect image, but something a little better would be awesome. Thanks! Aaron

It's serviced! It works! It's on eBay! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bolex-Rex-5-Serviced-Works-Free-Shipping/203246177341 Thanks for checking it out.

Hi - I just purchased an Arri S that's been sitting for some time. Motor runs, battery belt holds a charge, but this thing definitely needs oiled (not greased - oiled, as per the manual). Is 3-in-One oil OK to use, or should I be looking for something different. Thanks! Aaron

BNC?

Hi! I'm in the market for an Eyemo. Please DM me if you have one for sale. Thanks! Aaron

-- this was the issue. The eyepiece is totally disconnected from the adjustment ring, but it does telescope in and out, so I was able to adjust the eyepiece manually and then lock it into place. Thanks for your help!

Hi - I've been trying to set the diopter on a new-to-me RX5, and no matter what I do I cannot bring the grain on the prism into focus in the viewfinder. I've turned the adjustment ring as far as it will go in either direction and there is just no change in the image. Am I missing a step here? Does the diopter need to be serviced? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Aaron

Hi! Looking for the hand crank for a DeVry Standard A 35mm "lunch box" camera. Please let me know if you have one for sale. Thanks! Aaron

Hi, I'm considering purchasing an Arri 16s package. Can anyone recommend a reliable, portable power supply for this camera? Thanks! Aaron
