Yup its full destroyed. Time to start another PayPal dispute :x

So I bought a CP16A from America and the Lens came with the 'dog leg' un attached. I cannot figure out how I attach it properly to the little mount. I have attached the picture of the bits. http://img408.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0283qi9.jpg Cheers All! :)

From what I have seen on the second hand market, tungsten balanced film such is Fuji F250 or Kodak EXR 100T is more readily available and cheap. I understand that in daylight you will need filters to make this film turn out ok. That is fine but is the quality the same as that of a film designed...

Well I do not know anyone personally who owns the kit and because my University is ridiuclous I cannot use ANY equipment for private projects. The minidisc recorder is pocket change and I can easily build a decent boom pole but decent quality mics seems to ranging high up in the hundreds. As...

Right, I have just bought a CP16A and I am now looking at the other equipment I will need. Most importantly: Tripod Shotgun Mic Boom Pole MiniDisc Recorder Onbiously I am on a budget after just buying the camera. First off how can I tell if a tripod is up to holding a CP16 properly in terms...

Thanks for that, and would $600 + around $130 P+P to the UK be a good price for a CP16A in this condition? There are no cosmetic scratches, comes with 2 healthy batteries, 2 original mags and has been serviced by whitehouse visual. At the moment, I do not have enough for a good condition...

Can anyone tell me how the dog leg works on this camera? As in how would it work for shoulder mounting the camera? Does it adjust down to a smaller size? http://img384.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc0001hv8.jpg

Well I was thinking if I end up getting a CP16 package with only 1 mag then it might be better to carry a canned 400ft on a daylight spool rather than having to use a changing bag on a shoot. But I think the one I am getting comes with 2 mags. Does 16mm film come on a core out of the tin?

Ok, this might sound a little stupid but when you get a tin of 400ft vision 2 for example, what does it come on? I have only used standard 8mm so far which comes with a daylight loading spool but I understand 16mm does not. Does it just come on a core? How would I put the 400ft of film onto a...

Can the CP16 take daylight loading spools?

What do people mean when they say the CP16r smears? Specifically smearing the highlights? Is this true and if I buy a CP16r can I expect the camera to need 'repairs' to fix the smearing problem? Also I keep seeing good CP16r setups from Ebay US for around $1000 to $1200. In the UK it is hard...

Im thinking about getting a CP16r. Is the quality of these good? I have watched some sample footage filmed using one and it didn't seem that great. Some of the sample footage from H16s looked better. Is the standard lens on these cameras good? Thanks.

Just found out that you can't get Kodachrome II developed anywhere anymore. Except in B&W and thats risky/crude and expensive. Oh well.

Right but I don't think any indie purchasable 16mm comes with a crystal sync motor as standard. So all these cameras are useless for audio sync until you have forked out the extra for a new motor? I mean did Kevin Smith have his hands on a crystal sync motor for Clerks? Hmmmm. From the looks...

Right. So I would like to buy a 16mm camera which can hold at least 200ft of film, can be used as a sync sound camera and which has a motor. What are my options here? I read that just having a quiet motor doesn't mean you can do sync sound. You need a crystal sync motor (expensive!) unless you...

Do places that develop Super 8mm film generally also develop standard 8mm film? I have found lots of places that do Super 8mm but none that do standard 8mm.

I have a Japanese made, Bolex style, double 8mm camera. After removing a lens I am not sure if it works or not. The clockwork runs fine but im not sure aboyut the actual lens? Here is a picture with the lens removed: http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/2149/img0235jo2.jpg Is this what it is...

I have 50ft of standard 8mm film that needs processing. Where can I get this done in the UK and at what cost? The film is Kodachrome II, daylight colour. Thanks

No but I will definitely look into buying that book. I have actually asked like I said in the edit. Now here is the interesting thing, I have sourced 6000ft of untouched Super 16mm film stock, which I can have for 100 quid. Also included is some recans. So this gives a 2:1 ratio for the...

I think the only way to shoot using film would be by sourcing a stock of cheap 16mm but I don't even know if my University has a 16mm camera stocked. I guess I will end up having to go with DV. I just find DV aesthetically lacking. I have managed to source a lot of Super 16mm film but finding a...
