Couldn't figure out how to search for this topic with any success, so starting a new thread. I'm a relative novice in analog filmmaking without a ton of technical expertise or experience. I'm trying to figure out if I can use 16mm 500T to film the projected screening of digital footage in a low-light screening room. Assuming the projected image is bright enough to register workable light meter readings... some questions: 1. Is it okay for there to be any natural light coming in through the windows of the screening room? Or would that mess up the color balance? 2. Could there be any frame rate issues if I'm shooting at 24 fps (crystal sync)? Any other tips or tricks for getting usable footage is much appreciated. Thanks!

I'm trying to get some ND filters for a 12.5mm and a 17.5mm Cooke Kinetals I just purchased prior to receiving them. I can't find any information online on what the front thread size is. Anyone have these lenses who can tell me? Mine will be Arri-Standard mount, in case that matters.

Hi all, I'm gathering equipment for a documentary project I'll be shooting with my ACLII and am curious of peoples thoughts on a lens quandary I've been struggling with... At the moment, I have only a TS to Arri-S adapter and a Zeiss 8mm Arri-S lens which I love. I'd like to have additional prime Arri-S lenses in the 12mm range and in the 16-18mm range. The best options seem to be: Cooke Kinetal 12.5mm + Cooke Kinetal 17.5mm Cooke Kinetal 12.5mm + Zeiss 16mm For consistency I'd love to stay 100% Zeiss but there seems to be no way to get ahold of a combined Arri Bayonet+Standard mount... Unless miraculously, anyone here might have one they'd be willing to part with. So my question is, how different aesthetically (i.e., in terms of "look") is the Cooke Kinetal glass compared with the Zeiss glass? Assuming coating/haze/fungus etc. are all in equally good shape, would switching between scenes shot with each render noticeable differences aesthetically? Would I be better off trading out the 8mm Zeiss for a 9mm Cooke, so as to have a full Cooke set?

WTB: Cooke Kinetal 12.5mm Arri-S Mount
Skyler Carrico replied to Skyler Carrico's topic in Cine Marketplace
I don't believe there is, at least not Arri-S mount. The only Arri-S mount on eBay is priced at like $900. -

Eclair Flea Market
Skyler Carrico replied to Gregg MacPherson's topic in Marketplace Listings Under $200 / €200
Hi, I'm looking for someone to either sell me a spare or fabricate an ACL power cable for me. The one I have is not well made and is not holding up - the pins keep slipping out of the Jaeger connector, and no matter how hard I try, I can't get them to push in far enough to "click" where they won't slip. So I need an XLR 4-pin cable with a properly secured Jaeger connector on the other side. Ideally a short coiled cable just long enough to reach from the XLR connector at the camera to a side-mounted Eclair battery pack. For shipment, I'm located in Portugal. I will pay handsomely if I have to. -

Hi Jason, any chance this is still available? -
New to the ACL II and need help loading in the 400-ft mag
Skyler Carrico replied to Skyler Carrico's topic in Eclair
Here's a video to further explain. Regardless of tension or lack thereof, I'm not even able to get the roller tightened down. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1elN8kWzqU8zlwVQETeJc9eNYiteEE2aX/view?usp=sharing -
New to the ACL II and need help loading in the 400-ft mag
Skyler Carrico replied to Skyler Carrico's topic in Eclair
Unfortunately such is not the case for my mag. Could be because I just don't have the proper tools and cannot procure them, I'm on a remote island with limited supply in the Azores, but like I said, there's nothing for that anchor on the end of the spring to even drop into. It's all apart now and I have no idea what to do. Your previous message is frankly entirely beyond my grasp, not even able to understand what you're describing. Could you just provide me with some input on who in Europe might service this magazine? Seems like separate from the the issue with this roller is also the problem I was having with how it takes up film - the o-ring thing on the take up arm. Also probably should just look into getting a French 400 mag, since I have the ACL II with the stronger motor.
