Havent ordered anything yet.

Order from their overseas site, I am told. They answer emails fast and can give info on shipping costs.

If looking for B&W double perf 16mm, or even single, in 100 foot daylight rolls I found that Fomopan makes it.

And they answer emails swiftly.

I ordered some film about a month ago which hasnt materialized. Replies to my emails have been worrisomely scant.

I have been promised several things in the rare ones I received, like a tracking number but nothing.

Anyone else experiencing this problem??

The Sharpies I have here leave too thin a coat and wipe off after drying.

Anything I am able to paint brush on???

I am looking for something I can brush on. No spray paint.

It would have to be no gloss like the rest of the paint also.

I have several cameras that I will be filming with soon. All are from the 1920s and have minor scratching off of the black matte paint. Inside the film chamber and in sight of the lens.

What is the best product to use to "black out" these shiney blemishes??

Sounds like the filter thread is 30.5mm. A popular size for CCTV lenses. Filters are readily available in this size.

Please post an example.

I know little about about modern filters or adapters. Please excuse my not knowing.

I am looking for something that is readily available.

No camera gear stores around here. There is one chain store in the next city but it is all new stuff. Already checked.

Anything that is available from eBay or Amazon will be best.

Getting something custom made will take too long and out of the question. Only paid $25 or so for the lens.

Hello,

I am going to start shooting 16mm using 70 year old and older 16mm equipment and lenses next summer.

However, I have one new lens that I would like to use. A Fujian c mount 25mm lens used for closed circuit camera video.

The outer diameter of the front of the lens is 32mm.

Are there any filter mounts, or filter adapters that can be made to fit on this lens?? New or vintage. It does not matter.

Can anyone recommend filters to look at that will fit?

To give an idea on the project these will be used with a 1920s Cine Kodak Model B, 1930s Cine Kodak Specials, and Filmo 70 series. Nothing modern.

Any opinions on Som Berthiot C mount lenses with built in eye pieces?

How good a picture do they produce?? Someone told me "coke bottle" and didn't explain further. lol But considering I have nonreflex cameras I am interested.

Sharp picture? Any bad or good distortions??

What is you over all experiences with this Som Berthiot design.

Are they prone to breakage or dirt getting into the lens?

Thanks! :)

Not the answers I was looking for.


What kind of benefits or negatives visually should I expect if I mouned a cheap lens like this on my 16mm camera?

Good, interesting image effects or not good?

The second lens has both.

I would not need focus as the camera allow through the lens critical focusing.

Hello,

I was just wondering something. I've been seeing these lenses up on eBay. They are made for video and they are C mount. I was thinking of getting one. Maybe not.

Right now I have a Filmo and a Cine Kodak Special with old angstimat lenses on them. Will the below linked be an improvement or not make a difference?

The image for one of them is enticing which makes me ask to see what you think.

I have a 1930s Cine Kodak Special that has the old Kodak S mounts. One of them has been machined to accept another kind of lens.

Can anyone help me identify it?

the inner diameter of the mount is 23mm. There are three set screws that are machined into it to hold the lens.

This mount unscrews from the camera and the inner diameter of the screw in opening is 24mm.

Can anyone guess what lenses this will accept?
