I am wondering if you were ever able to get some answers to your questions about the Kineom. I am researching this camera and considering buying one. I found that there is a person renting it by the day in the Los Angeles area on the website, Sharegrid. I was thinking about renting it and running some film through it to see how it looks with respect to image registration, focus, resolution and light tightness of the camera. I am in the Pasadena area teaching cinematography this summer if you are in the area, maybe we could meet for a coffee. I just downloaded a journal article about the camera and its designer, Emmanuel Goldberg. I would be happy to provide you with a copy of this film history journal article. I was able to download it with my university credentials.
