I am looking for a crystal sync motor for my Arriflex 16ST 16mm camera. Motors of interest: Tobin TCS TXM-17 Tobin TCS TXM-22 aka. TXM-22A "Georg Jensen Model 504" as seen in this Filmboy24 YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb5j2QczfZQ&pp=ygUKI3NyaXZhYXJyaQ%3D%3D A motor made by ARRI named "ARRI A 16 St E" as seen in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpdsCr5zZwA If none of the above can be found; a custom built crystal sync motor as mentioned by this user: https://cinematography.com/index.php?/forums/topic/75086-tobin-motors-for-arri-16s-shoulder-brace/#findComment-596198 If the motor also comes with a power cable and working battery pack + charger I regard that as a bonus but not necessary for my interest. And before anyone asks; yes I am aware of the Pluriboom crystal sync motor but it does not meet my requirement of being able to use the camera's own start/stop switch: https://pluriboom.com/ Shipping: In regards to shipping any potential buyer must be able to send it to me in Sweden. If you have a motor that is any of the above mentioned models please reply directly to this post or DM me with details.

Would mixing different brand lenses be too obvious? Hello, I have 3 different lenses for my Arriflex 16S. A Schneider 10mm f1.8, Schneider 16mm Xenon f1.9 (the old version from the 50s) and a Cooke Kinetal 25mm t2.0 which I haven’t tested yet in comparison to the other two. I personally really like the 16 and 25mm focal length so I would shoot 95% of everything with those lenses. I understand that the Kinetal is a bit warmer than the Schneider but I imagine that color correction could solve that problem. Here is a frame shot on 200T with the Schneider 16mm f1.9 closed down to f2.8 And this was shot at F4.0 where the lens get surprisingly sharp. I would like to know people’s opinion on this or if someone’s had a similar experience with matching different lenses. Greetings, Ivan Dimitrov
