Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted June 16, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted June 16, 2008 There's also the Kiev-16UE. I have one in a closet, haven't had a chance to test it out yet. It's more of a "home movie" camera but there is a motorized version. Also, if you don't mind winding, the Kodak K-100 can be outfitted with a reflex lens and they are extremely reliable and built like a tank. The K-100 has the longest wind out of any 16mm camera I know too... it lasts almost a minute. On the Arri S, I happened to catch the documentary "When We Left Earth" this weekend and it was wild to see a row of cameras capturing a lift off and out of the 6 or so cameras visible, like 5 were Arri S's. About 1968 or so I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 1968 or so I believe. I have a Kiev 16-UE though the picture you show is of the clockwork version. The UE is electric powered using about 12 AA batteries. I bought mine from Olex and he provided a special connector so I can run the camera off an AC adapter or a larger battery. I shot one roll of Fomapan with it and the camera is very noisy but it does shoot decent pictures. It uses a mirrored shutter with propriety screw mount lenses. The film spools are side by side but not difficult to load. It comes with a pistol grip so it can be used handheld. It is about as heavy as a Bolex but has a low profile. I really think the Kinor 16-SX is a better choice coming with interchangeable 100 foot or 400 foot magazines. Olex can provide variable speed and crystal speed motor modifications.

I have a kinor and for sure it's a fabulous camera (also modified by Olex), I just wanted something to film inside a train at rush hour. But I gues I can always smuggle my kinor... but thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Frank Barrera Posted June 17, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted June 17, 2008 Perhaps it's a little bigger than you were thinking but the Aaton A-Minima is extremely low profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And something wrapped in a coat with a pistol grip will definitely attract attention. Watch out you don't get tased, bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted June 17, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted June 17, 2008 What about an A-Cam? Not reflex, but very small. http://www.ikonoskop.com/acam/index.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
