Stephen Alexander Griebel Share Posted February 5, 2020 I was adjusting the arm to square the alignment in the viewfinder when the glass became uncemented, bounced out of the lens port, and split into two halves on my floor. Would even be open to standard 16mm at this point. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyler Purcell Sustaining Member Share Posted February 5, 2020 So what part broke? Can you show me a picture of it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Alexander Griebel Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 The actual glass broke clean in two right down the center of the ratio marks-- I lucked into an Arri HSR II and have since tossed the glass unfortunately. The XTR/plus lacks the wonderful cartridge system of your Prod, Tyler 😉. The bare glass is cemented directly to an adjustable 16/S16 sliding arm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyler Purcell Sustaining Member Share Posted February 5, 2020 Ohhh got ya. Dang man, how did that crack! On the XTR's it's also glued into the removable casing actually, I've had mine crack as well, kinda sad. Umm, tough one to solve isn't it. I don't really have any suggestions at the moment sadly. You could glue it back together with glass glue and see what happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Alexander Griebel Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 How? I'm sure a better physicist than I could prove it on paper. I'll chalk it up to the universe's will. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Sekanina Sustaining Member Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) I found an old LTR one where unfortunately one corner shows some color fringing. (I think the previous owner cleaned it with an aggressive solvent that crept between the fused fiber screen and lens bond) Edited February 5, 2020 by David Sekanina typo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
