Thank you all for the help, this is such useful information. As someone who has just relatively recently gone into the world of 16mm (four years now, but that's nothing compared to the experienced folk in here), there is so much to learn about lenses, formats, and camera mechanics! Really appreciate that you share so much of it on these forum threads. I'll keep experimenting with the lens to see what's the best way of operating it. It doesn't seem to be an ideal zoom lens for S16, but it's what I've got, so it'll have to do. Thanks again!

Thank you for letting me know about that. I'll check with the engineer that converted the camera about this. (edit: just confirmed that the mount is on the N16 position. I just assumed that's how it'd look after converting it to S16! Thanks for pointing this out once again) I was also wondering what this bit in the middle of the lens is, between the 'Patented W...' bit and the iris ring: I found a picture of what looks like the same lens (although this could also just be a different Angenieux lens). It doesn't seem to have that part:

Hi Gregory, Thank you for your reply. 1. I've attached a couple of pictures of the rear element to this post. 2. The vignette comes and goes mainly when it's wide, but it also appears and disappears depending on the focus. At 45-50mm or so it almost fully disappears. 3. Wide open, as said above, the vignetting changes with focus. I've got some pictures of how it looks almost wide open when it's focused at 4-5 meters and when it's at its minimum focus.

Thanks for sharing this!

Hello! I've got an Angenieux 12-240mm Zoom lens, which was sold to me on eBay as a Super 16 zoom. I wasn't able to find a lot of information about it, but I took the risk because the video reel that the seller sent me looked good enough. After receiving the lens, I can say that I wasn't terribly disappointed! The glass is nice, although it's a heavy and inconvenient lens in many ways (hard to get filters working, as the focus sticks out). The main issue I'm getting is a lot more vignetting than expected. Later, researching, I found this video on Vimeo, shot with what I believe is the same lens: In comparison, this is the vignetting I'm getting as some focal lengths and focus distances on my Angenieux: What could be causing these issues? Is it just a bad one from Angenieux? (I've had mixed luck with them, the one I had on my old 16BL was a great lens). Does it require some sort of adjustment? The camera is an Arriflex 16SR 1, converted to Super 16 PL from an Arri Bayonet mount last year. Thank you very much for your help! Some pictures of the lens:

Hi Barbara, Are those still available? If so, would you please be able to message the price to me? I'm looking into an extender for an old zoom Angenieux for standard 16mm (10-150mm).

Price?

Hey! I don't have more information about the mount, but I was wondering where are buying these t-bars? I've been looking for ages and can't find one!

I'm currently experimenting with a Sony sensor I bought on Aliexpress, which outputs to HD-SDI. I'm waiting for the final parts to arrive before I can start properly testing it with a 16SR, but hopefully I'll be able to get a semi-decent feed out of the light sensor hole. Will post some pictures once I've got everything together and running!

Bump - 380 GBP

A few years ago, I watched a film at the London Spanish Film Festival that was fully shot on Super 8 (I have no idea about the other technical details, such as the camera or lenses used). The name in Spanish is 'La Reina de los Lagartos', which would translate to The Queen of Lizards. Quite an odd but fun film about an alien lizard that arrives to Barcelona and falls in love. Very quirky! These are the trailers:

Hi all! I'm selling my fully functioning Arriflex 16BL with its original lens (Angenieux 12-120mm) and plenty of original accessories. Quite a unique collection of items that include: - 3 400ft magazines (two functioning - one untested) - 1 1000ft coax magazine - Blimp for prime lenses - Minilock for crystal sync (untested - motor in the camera is different) - Two motors (untested, one is 42v for use with power supply) - Camera top handle - Multitude of filters (can provide more details by email) - Plenty of magazine cores for the 400ft plastic cores - Remote control for camera - 4-pin XLR to D-tap for power - Original box - Power supply for 42v motor - Periscope viewfinder for when operating with a shoulder rig Most recently used for a short film that was shot in 2022 and 2023, no issues at all with the camera. Very stable gate, great image. I can ship to UK and maybe EU but collection in London is preferred. This is the eBay link for the camera: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374789398236 There are some pictures on the eBay listing too. Happy to receive offers through eBay or directly on here if you prefer. Sad to see this one go because I really love shooting on the 16BL, but I'm selling it to finance my next short film!

Selling my old Bolex H16 to finance a new film project. Quite sad to see it go. Price is 425 GBP (open to reasonable offers!) I haven't run film through it in a while and I don't have lenses anymore to test with, but the spring works well and it runs for the expected time. If testing, remember that you have to run it at a low FPS or else you risk breaking the camera. It's been very well kept in my collection of cameras. Very good aesthetic condition. It comes with various accessories: handle, viewfinder, case, little paper manual. I can ship to UK, EU and US (when shipping outside of the UK, the buyer might have to pay extra VAT and customs). I've uploaded some pictures of the camera here: https://imgur.com/a/fziYCSn

Just a reminder that this will take place in just a couple of days time, at the Regent Street Cinema in London. If you're interested in attending the premiere, we still have a few tickets available! Kodak have kindly promoted our film on their social media too, they've been very supportive. Really looking forward to shooting on 16mm again!

Hi Mark, Thank you for your quick reply! I will keep that in mind when looking for other adapters. I have my eyes on an Isco Ultra Star from eBay. If I end up getting it, I will give it a go and post results here. Thanks again!
